The moment Lotte's finger touched the [Mage], he felt a change within his body.
The soul seemed to float away from the body, absorbing the magic in the air.
Magic flowed into his body little by little, making Lot feel warm all over. The warm current of magic washed away the dust of the mortal world from his body.
Countless blue magical sparks burst forth in the hotel room, swirling around Lot as if celebrating the arrival of another mage in the world.
His panel suddenly popped up, and a horizontal blue light trail appeared below the attribute values, followed by a line of text on the panel.
[Arcane: 1]
An Arcane attribute point has appeared on the panel, which seems to be an attribute point exclusive to mages.
With the addition of Arcane attribute points, Lotte's path to becoming a mage officially begins.
Name: Lott
Race: Human [Unlimited Adaptability]
Level: Lv.5
Occupation: [Mage]
Class Level: [Awakening Level]
Attribute points to be assigned: 17
17 attribute points! Having a class directly adds 10 attribute points!
No wonder everyone wants to increase their job level; it turns out that each job promotion greatly increases physical attributes.
Lotte looked at the attribute values on the panel; it was time to add points again.
He first added 6 points to Perception, which is the attribute point that is truly related to the mage.
Perception affects the accuracy of magic. It is rumored that there are mage schools in big cities that specialize in perception, capable of accurately striking enemies from thousands of meters away, killing them with a single magical blow without leaving a trace.
After his perception attribute increased, Lotte suddenly felt as if a layer of fog had been wiped away from the whole world.
He can see further and hear conversations across the street. His range of perception can be further expanded when he focuses his mind in one direction.
Lotte looked at the panel again. He added 6 points to Strength and 1 point to Constitution, leaving the remaining 4 attribute points for future use.
Spirit determines the number of times magic can be cast, but Lot doesn't have magic yet, so adding points to it isn't cost-effective.
As for arcane arts, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Chloris what it was related to.
After doing all this, Lott breathed a long sigh of relief.
Name: Lott
Race: Human [Unlimited Adaptability]
Level: Lv.5
Occupation: [Mage]
Class Level: [Awakening Level]
Power: 17
Agility: 9
Physical condition: 13
Perception: 14
Spirit: 14
Arcane: 1
Attribute points to be assigned: 4
Lotte rested his chin on his hand, looking at the values on the panel.
"This should be a mage's panel, right? Other mages should look like this too, right?"
……
The next morning, Lott couldn't wait to put on his shoes and go out.
Maple Town is so cute in the morning; the maple leaves all seem to be pink.
He walked toward the guild gate, preparing to register his profession as a mage.
Unlike usual, the lobby was packed with adventurers today, making it seem rather chaotic.
A dozen or so well-equipped adventurers marched out of the gate, leaving Lotte bewildered as to what had happened.
Lott righted the tables and chairs they had bumped into and looked at the front desk. "Miss Ya'er, what happened?"
Ya'er wore a beautiful white dress today. "The number of monsters in Maple Town has suddenly increased recently. It turns out that a mist bear spirit somehow wandered into the Maple Great Forest and has injured quite a few people these days."
"Are they going to launch a military campaign?"
"Hmm. This mission is directly funded and commissioned by the Adventurers' Guild, and it's worth two gold coins! If you have a profession, you might be able to go too."
"I'm here to register my occupation."
"Oh?" Ya'er looked at Lott with interest, picked up an adventurer's register, and asked, "What's your profession?"
"Master."
Ya'er raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but didn't say much: "Master Lotte, then I'll trouble you to take the test."
Ya'er bent down and pulled out the crystal ball from the bottom of the cabinet, placing it on a soft cushion. "This was sent by the Mage's Guild. According to the rules, I can only register you as a mage if it lights up."
Lotte placed his hand on it, and after a moment, the crystal ball slowly lit up with a blue light.
Ya'er whispered, "He really is a mage..."
As she registered, she asked, "Do you know any magic?"
"Uh...no."
"Is it alright if I register you as a novice monk?"
As the most basic profession, the Dharma Master is divided into four levels: apprentice, beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
"no problem."
Yar handed the adventurer's handbook to Lott. "Master Lott, congratulations on being able to accept commissions. Also, the registration fee is two silver coins."
Lott panicked; he only had two silver coins on him. "So expensive! How can it be so expensive! Aren't they usually two copper coins?!"
"You think the title 'Master' is just for show? Only monks accept two silver coins."
Lotte clutched the two silver coins reluctantly, but Yar snatched them from his hand.
Lotte went bankrupt just by registering!
Not to mention he also needs to buy swords, staves, houses, scrolls, beast girls, and items and potions.
I've heard that the mage pays for everything with gold coins, but right now Lotte doesn't even have a single copper coin.
Fortunately, once you have a profession, you can accept mission commissions.
Lotte walked to the quest board, looked left and right, and then tore off a Bloodvelvet Beast subjugation quest.
[Quest: A Bloodvelvet Beast Hide without any sword or knife wounds; Reward: 20 Silver Coins]
Lott took the commission form, filled out his information, and walked to the counter. "Miss Ya'er, I'll take this one."
“Let me see.” Ya’er took the data and glanced at it, then looked at Lott. “Mr. Lott, after an adventurer accepts a quest, the guild will assess the difficulty of the quest for the adventurer. It’s generally categorized as: Easy, Normal, Difficult, Dangerous, and…”
Ya stamped a large seal on Lotte's file:
[Refutation]
"Mr. Lott, you, an apprentice mage who doesn't know magic, want to defeat the Bloodveil Beast all by yourself?"
"My swordsmanship is very strong; I learned it from the princess. Don't underestimate a mage, Miss Ya'er."
"Alright, alright." Yar returned the data to Lotte. "Please find a reliable person to team up with, otherwise we'll have to give up on this commission."
"Can I choose a different commission?"
“Mages don’t go solo,” Ya’er said with a squinting smile to Lot. “Unless you choose a slime, I won’t approve it.”
"You can actually do that?"
"Don't underestimate the receptionist, Mr. Lott."
Lotte now really wants to take Ya'er into the forest so she can see his strength for herself.
Unfortunately, this is not realistic.
Lotte can only find someone to team up with and complete the mission to change Ya'er's stereotype of him.
Ya'er looked past Lotte's shoulder and towards the back. "Look, the people who are suitable to team up with have arrived. You can go find them."
Lotte turned around and saw the young lady who had appeared at the Three Thousand Gold Coins that night. She and her uncle Bald walked through the door together.
Today, Chloris tied her hair into two braids with two blue hairbands, giving her a more youthful look.
Behind the counter, Ya'er said to them, "Master Lott is looking for a team. Would you like to consider taking him along? He's a mage now, you know."
Chloris's outstretched leg stopped in mid-air, and her gaze instantly fell on Lotte.
"Are you kidding me? Mr. Lott has become a mage?"
"I'm not kidding."
The ankle boots thumped on the floor as Miss Chloris walked to Lotte's side and curtsied, lifting the hem of her skirt with both hands.
Lotte looked to Yar for help, unsure how to return such aristocratic courtesy.
Fortunately, Chloris didn't care about any of that: "Mr. Lott, I really want to know how you did it."
Bard walked over and took Chloris's shoulder, whispering, "Chloris, it's impolite to pry into other people's private matters."
"But Uncle..."
Lott could never do that!
He was asking me about the monk last week, and this week it's all settled?
How is that possible!
Even if he found the meditation magic scroll that night, it would still take at least several months to learn meditation, right?
Either he was some young nobleman who came to Maple's Grace Town to experience life, or...
Chloris looked at Lotte, and an idea slowly surfaced in her mind:
Either Lott is a magical genius!
He grasped the essence of meditation on his own and mastered it within a week, becoming a monk.
When Chloris came to her senses, Bard and Lott were already chatting and laughing.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just reached a team agreement with Mr. Lott."
Chloris glanced at the contract of agency that Bald had handed her, then at Bald himself. "Uncle, we clearly agreed to go mushroom picking in the forest together..."
"Sorry, sorry, how about we do it another day?"
Bard leaned close to Chloris's ear and whispered, "Uncle was just testing Lott for you. He's either a madman or a genius to become a mage in Maple Town. If he's a genius, then it'll be perfect for you to team up."
Chloris forced a smile, her body stiff as she watched Lotte and Bald leave the Adventurers' Guild.
A light, airy voice drifted from inside the room: "Ah~ Miss Chloris got dumped. You were here first, but your Uncle Bald teamed up with someone much more powerful. You should have quit the team in a huff~"
“Miss Yar!”
Lotte accompanied Baldr to retrieve the weapons and armor.
Bard has been in contact with Lotte these days. If Lotte is looking for a team, Bard is the best choice.
After getting ready, the two did not delay and went straight into the forest.
