It seems that Frank Morgan is really amazing—he actually learned magic in such a short time...

Eh, wait a minute!

Suddenly, Summer Yates realized something, and those beautiful, expressive eyes looked at Frank Morgan.

Frank Morgan said seriously, “What’s wrong?”

“You’ve been awakened for less than half a year. As far as I know, even the most talented people need almost a year to be able to cast basic skills.” Summer Yates said.

Frank Morgan was stunned.

No way, even highly talented people need a year from awakening to casting?

Then... I managed to use basic skills in less than half a year—this speed really is too fast!

The problem is, Frank Morgan had no idea about this at all.

In his view, even that idiot Brian Murray could already control 4 or 5 stars, so wasn’t it normal for him to be able to cast magic?

But why did Summer Yates look so incredulous, almost as if she was looking at a monster?

Could it be that learning basic skills in less than half a year is really freakish in this world??

“The ‘even the most talented need a year’ you just mentioned—what level of talent are you talking about?” Frank Morgan asked cautiously.

Frank Morgan didn’t want to reveal how much he still didn’t know about this world.

“Nancy Murray is considered the most talented in our Bo City, even better than many genius students in the Imperial Capital. But it still took her 8 months from awakening to mastering the basic ice skill.” Summer Yates said.

“8... 8 months?” Frank Morgan was a bit dumbfounded.

What kind of person is Nancy Murray?

The only one in all of Bo City to be directly admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy, the apple of the The Murray Family’s eye, raised in the rich magical environment of the The Murray Family family, with access to resources that ordinary mages could never dream of.

And the reason she’s so highly regarded is closely tied to her astonishing magical talent!

Even a prodigy like her took 8 months from awakening to casting basic magic, so what about me, who only took 5 months???

Damn it!!

Damn it all!!

Frank Morgan felt his heart churning violently!

If Nancy Murray’s 8 months is already considered extraordinary, and people call her a once-in-a-generation genius, then my 5 months must be downright defying the heavens!!

“Frank Morgan gege, you... you didn’t learn anything bad, did you... I heard from an old scholar that people who cultivate this fast can only be from the Black Church.” Summer Yates whispered very quietly.

Some of the Black Church’s dark magic can greatly accelerate a mage’s cultivation speed. Summer Yates really couldn’t think of any other way someone could master basic magic in just 5 months, even though she knew her Frank Morgan gege had always been exceptionally smart...

“The Black Church? No way... It’s like this... Oh, right, actually, I didn’t awaken on the day of the opening ceremony. I met an old man earlier, and he told me, ‘Young man, I see you have great potential and talent, why not learn magic from me?’ I asked, ‘Who are you, uncle?’ He told me he was a member of the Magic Association in the Magic City and could help me awaken first... Anyway, I didn’t actually learn it in just 5 months.” Frank Morgan responded quickly.

Summer Yates looked a bit confused.

But she still smiled and said, “So you awakened early. Although awakening too early can have side effects on cultivation, since it was someone from the Magic Association, it should be fine.”

Seeing that Summer Yates finally stopped asking, Frank Morgan breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, I really am a freak. Looks like I shouldn’t show off too much before I fully understand this world.

“Is it really only possible to be from the Black Church if you master it in 5 months?” Frank Morgan asked weakly.

“Mm.” Summer Yates nodded seriously.

Frank Morgan was sweating!

Being too awesome isn’t always a good thing. Originally, Frank Morgan wanted to surprise Summer Yates with his fire element, but now it seems he’d better not act rashly before figuring things out.

Better go back and check some books and get a clear picture of things—otherwise, I might really get treated as a member of the Black Church by accident!

(Monday again, comrades!! If you’re unhappy about work or school, just throw your recommendation votes at me and vent your anger. After all, I don’t have to go to work or school, so I don’t care what day it is~~)

Chapter 15: Tales of Demons and Monsters

……

After escorting Summer Yates back to her aunt’s house and having dinner with them, Frank Morgan was just about to continue practicing his lightning magic. But as soon as he tried to control it the way he usually did, he immediately felt a splitting headache, as if he’d just played League of Legends for three nights straight at an internet café—he felt like he was about to collapse!

What the hell is going on???

Feeling mentally exhausted.

Could it be because I used Lightning Seal twice today, and the overuse of lightning magic energy has left me extremely fatigued?

No way, even counting the incomplete release on the bus, I only used Lightning Seal twice today, and my mana is already empty?
