I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy



After class was over, he went to the Mission Hall. He wanted to deposit the cores he had to finish a few missions and get some points. 

He wanted to get his hands on enough points to go to the library for Aura Techniques and also test out the training spots at the academy. He had enough for the latter, but he would be left with no points once he did that. 

He also didn't have to deal with telling everyone that he was leaving since they were used to it at this point. They started to expect him to leave immediately after the classes.

He got his cores deposited and immediately went to the forest. He killed 10 2nd Circle Magical Beasts and got back.

One thing the fame did for him was that it gave him a reputation. He would be able to use it to make doing many missions in a week seem normal for him. So he could do 10 missions a week instead of only 5. This would mean he would have to go out for a little longer, but it was completely worth it considering that it gave him a lot of points. 

Once he was done with hunting, Leo returned to his room and found solace in seclusion. He closed himself off from the outside world as usual, immersing himself in his thoughts and training. The days blended together as he devoted himself to honing his skills, determined to reach new heights in his aura manipulation.

As the sun rose and set, marking the passage of time, Leo kept training his magic, his primary focus. He could feel the subtle shifts in his magic, the growing strength, and precision with each passing day. It was a slow and arduous process, but he was willing to put in the effort to achieve greatness.

Friday arrived, and Leo made his way to his class. The familiar faces greeted him, and he took his seat among his peers. He patiently waited for the class to begin, his mind calm and focused. He reviewed the previous lessons in his head, mentally preparing himself for what lay ahead.

Selena walked into the room with a commanding presence. The class fell into a hushed silence as they awaited her lecture. 

"So, I said that we were going to look at a few Aura Techniques, so we will do that today. I will just be talking so we won't need the training dummies. But listen closely to properly understand what techniques I am mentioning." She started her lecture by going directly to the point.

"The most important point you have to keep in mind is what element your aura technique is using. That is incredibly important. It is best to specialize in a single element. It is harder for your aura to be dual or triple-natured.

So you want to pick an aura technique that is using your element. Once you figure that out, you will want to pick the smaller things you notice in a technique. The first thing is what it prioritizes the most.

A technique could put speed above power, and that might not suit your fighting style. It could also use a higher amount of aura to gain better results which is optimal if you are a person blessed with higher levels of aura. You want to consider these things if you are thinking about training in that technique."

She looked around to make sure that everyone got what she was saying. After making sure there were no confused faces, she kept going.

"Another important factor you want to keep in mind is how hard the technique is to master. An aura technique could take a few weeks to master and be mediocre. But imagine you are facing a person who picked a very profound technique that would take years to master.

What would happen if you fought a month after you both started learning that technique? You would win now but lose a few months later. You want to decide based on what the trade-off is. Keep these in mind when selecting your aura technique once you break through to the next level. That is it for this lecture," she said.

Everyone got up to get ready to leave. Even Leo got up. He got the information he needed. He was going straight to the library to pick out the aura techniques he wanted.

The reason he was in a hurry was that he wanted to simplify his life as much as possible. It was already pretty simple now. He was only going to class, hunting monsters and training. But there were the occasional trips to the library he wanted to avoid.I think you should take a look at

Once he got his aura techniques, he was going to bring them to Intermediate Proficiency. Once he was at that level, he would rest and focus only on magic. Until then, he would need to divide his attention.

He first went to the mission hall. He needed to deposit the cores and get enough points so that he wouldn't run out while he was inside the library. Since he needed to go to the second floor, he would need more points.

Once he gave the cores, he was up to 18000 points. If the price for the second floor was half the price of a library pass, then he would be able to inside for a little more than 5 hours. It would be more than enough for him to pick out the three aura techniques he needed and memorize them.

Once he was done giving the cores in the mission hall, he walked out. As he was walking out, he saw Madison walk in. She quickly noticed him and walked to him.

"Hello, Madison," he greeted her.

"Hi Leo," she said. "Are you coming from finishing a mission?" 

He nodded. "A few. Are you coming in for the same?"

"Yes. I have a question if you don't mind." She said.

"Go ahead," he said.

"Well, why do you never hang out with us? I thought it was that you were in a hurry the first few times but you never stay around. We think it's something wrong with us," she said.

"Oh. I never thought you guys felt like that. Could you tell them it's nothing like that?" He requested her.

"So it's not?" She asked him.

"Of course not," he assured her. "It's just that I am prioritizing my training so much. I am just going back to my room and training. I still enjoy being with you guys but I simply can't find the time."

Madison turned glum. "Is there a reason or-"

Before she could ask that question, Leo cut her off. "There's a line Madison. I am sorry I have to be the one to tell you. But don't pry too much. Everyone has something they have that is too personal to touch. I have mine and I don't feel comfortable sharing. Just tell everyone that I don't hate them. I just can't spend time with them because I need to train."

He didn't want to give them an ultimatum, but he had his priorities. If he wanted to do what he wanted to, he would need to focus on training. He wasn't just trying to become a big shot - he was trying to take down one of the biggest families in the entire empire.
