After teaching for a short while, Hamir sensed something was amiss.
This… the situation didn't look right.
Why did this kid's Magic Shield immediately transform and improve so rapidly?
If this went on much longer, wouldn't it rival mine?
After listening to a Sorcerer's explanation, one ought to return and contemplate to remedy one's deficiencies.
Why could this boy instantly apply every nuance in his hand?
This was nonsensical!
Hamir's face registered confusion.
Things were exceeding his expectations in ways he could not anticipate.
Wang watched from the side, excitement stirring in his heart.
The cycle had begun: first came doubt, then incredulity, and soon the very meaning of one's existence was questioned!
Do not ask him how he knew this sequence—he had lived it. That feeling was etched into his memory.
He would rather face an interdimensional demon than endure that crushing blow to his confidence again.
Fortunately, it was now Hamir's turn.
Wang felt grateful—finding a scapegoat so readily was rare among one's peers.
He silently thanked his colleague.
Over there, Hamir's expression also twisted oddly as he stared at Zhao Yu.
This kid was a monster!
What devilish comprehension was this? He delivered his lecture only once, and the boy absorbed it all?
Even Hamir's own restraint was fraying—this brief session had nearly emptied Hamir's store of knowledge.
This was inhuman.
"All right, Zhao Yu, let us end the lesson here," Hamir said with a forced smile.
"Sorcerer Hamir, I feel there is still much I lack," Zhao Yu replied earnestly.
"Please continue teaching me."
Hamir's heart clenched.
I know you still have gaps, but there's nothing left in me to give!
In this short time, Zhao Yu had nearly drained everything about Ring of Raggadorr from his mind.
If this continued, where would that leave my reputation as a Grand Sorcerer?
That thought hardened Hamir's expression.
"Zhao Yu, do you understand the principle of moderation?"
"When learning Magic, beware of greed and haste. The most important thing is to build a solid foundation. Having learned this, you must reflect carefully."
Hearing Master Hamir speak so earnestly, Zhao Yu reluctantly conceded.
He could not force his tutor to continue. Besides, there would be other opportunities to learn from a Grand Sorcerer later.
Seeing Zhao Yu's respectful reply, Hamir felt a pang of shame. As a Grand Sorcerer, he ought to have more generosity.
"Ahem, Zhao Yu," Hamir began again, "I see your Magic mastery is very solid. How about I teach you one of my own unique spells?"
A smile played at Hamir's lips.
The greatest advantage of Kamar-Taj Magic was not merely its power, but its safety: so long as one did not summarily summon eldritch entities, no backlash would harm the caster. Even if a spell failed, it would not damage the Sorcerer.
Thus, drawing on their studies and private insights, Hamir had created many potent spells.
The one he now offered Zhao Yu was a high-destructive Magic called Chaos Orb.
Its power was formidable, but it required multiple participants to cast effectively—a fact Hamir and Wang had agreed upon. Zhao Yu's genius pace needed to be contained until the Supreme Sorcerer's return.
Unaware of their scheme, Zhao Yu brightened at Hamir's offer.
"Thank you, Sorcerer Hamir."
"No thanks are needed," Hamir replied. "In essence, all Magic in Kamar-Taj is public knowledge."
Zhao Yu remained grateful. Indeed, while the books were open to all, personal insights were not freely shared.
"Watch closely. Wang and I will demonstrate first."
With that, the two Sorcerers parted off a chamber within the Mirror Dimension. They locked eyes, and vast energies gathered in their hands. Before them, a head-sized orb of light spun in midair—an intricate lattice of pure radiance laced with flickers of grey mist.
At a gesture, the orb launched downward through a barrier. Upon entering the lower chamber, it detonated in a thunderous explosion—"Boom!"—obliterating the entire space and reducing the conjured Kamar-Taj buildings to ashes. All that remained was a crater dozens of meters across.
Zhao Yu stared, awestruck. This was the first time he'd witnessed such devastation.
"Ding!"
"Your observation of Wang and Hamir's casting has led you to grasp Magic Chaos Orb."
"Chaos Orb (Progress: 25%)"
Zhao Yu glanced at his system panel, then at the two Grand Sorcerers. They approached side by side.
"Zhao Yu, before I teach you," Wang said solemnly, "know that this Magic's power is extreme. Do not use it lightly. And never employ it for wrongdoing—if you do, we will hold you accountable."
Hamir's face was equally grave.
Zhao Yu nodded earnestly.
"Yes, Sorcerers. I understand. With the Supreme Sorcerer present, I could never misuse such power."
He smiled confidently. Though Casillas had betrayed the Ancient One and even caused his death, the Ancient One had chosen to transcend and roam the Multiverse. In over a century, no other apprentice had ever betrayed Kamar-Taj—testament to the Ancient One's legacy.
Wang and Hamir exchanged satisfied looks at Zhao Yu's pledge.
"Come, let me explain this Magic to you," Hamir said, and began his instruction.
