"I did it on myself and I can sign a contract proving the veracity of everything I wrote", said Kayden, surprising not only the two women but also Ravena, who had already read the technique with her spiritual sense and realized its difficulty.
"His technique is level 7 in our parameters, it’s just not superior because of how difficult it is to perform. You can check the lectures and floors available to you on our app", informed the supervisor. Kayden knew the value of his technique, but he also recognized its difficulty and found it to be fair value.
"Congratulations, Marquis Kayden. I will show you your quarters now," she said. Kayden accepted out of politeness, and they took to the streets within a few minutes. Even the prince could not fly freely in the city, mainly because of the anti-aircraft barrier.
The city’s streets were of average size; At most, two cars could fit side by side. The main means of transportation was one’s legs, and the sidewalks were twice the size of the streets. According to the kingdom, this was to maintain good air quality, and few people could drive.
They went up the mountain a little, and this walk took about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the prince exchanged a few words with Kayden, all in a friendly and unpretentious tone. Their conversations were just small talk to pass the time.
After climbing a few kilometers, they had to fly in a section that was permitted. Kayden and Ravena’s establishment was a medium-sized mountain lodge. It had three bedrooms, a spacious living room and a kitchen. Furthermore, a few meters around it was a beautiful green garden, and there was not a single drop of snow falling on the structure.
"I will let you rest for now. If you need me, just send me a message", said the prince, leaving. Kayden just waited for him to leave her vision to descend back into the city.
His first stop was a conversion point, and he quickly transferred a few million into his new bank account. After that, he went to a clothing store and bought some warm clothes, even though he didn’t need them because of his accelerated circulation. He didn’t want to draw too much attention.
His next destination was to buy groceries. He had a little difficulty because of the different foods, but fortunately, humanity only had one language, and he just had to read what each thing was on the internet.
After that, Kayden decided to study a little about the local culture and customs so as not to accidentally commit any act of war. The best way to do this was to go to local restaurants and bars. Even though in this city most mages barely needed to eat, it was still something that humans couldn’t completely abandon.
When it was close to midnight, he decided to go back to the libraries. Most were open 24 hours a day, with only a few points without service. But these were low-level points. The first thing Kayden did was learn about mana manipulation.
It might be silly considering his path, but it was always good to improve. Only idiots refused to accept that they could be surpassed in basic things when they were already advanced.
So for the next few days, that’s just what Kayden did. He didn’t even go back to his house. He didn’t need to sleep and, when he wanted to eat, he just went to a restaurant nearby and helped himself to his heart’s content. Even without needing to eat, he liked a food that he ate many times in his childhood in his past life.
Even with the cold environment, ice cream was a local delicacy and had hundreds of flavors. Practically every respectable restaurant had an area just for them. Kayden felt old when he ate this food.
Adding his two lives, plus limbo and his coma, he would probably have more than fifty years to live. He was supposed to be middle-aged in his first life, with children and a loving home, visiting his grandparents during the weekends. That’s assuming Max wasn’t there.
’what nonsense’ Kayden would probably be having the type of life he hated most, a monotonous and boring life, with the same days the same until the date of his death.
"Marquis Kayden?" Thomas’s voice boomed behind Kayden. He had been studying here for about three weeks and had completely forgotten about the Prince. After the two exchanged a few greetings, the prince spoke about the reason for his visit.
"We will have a lecture on elemental mana at the sage academy. The academy master has extended the request to you." Kayden was surprised for a moment. He knew that the sage academy was the equivalent of the Sol academy in his kingdom.
Kayden didn’t expect any special treatment like this when coming to this exchange, but after reflecting a little, he saw that it was natural considering his accomplishments and achievements. His strength spoke for him.

The three went out into the street and climbed the mountains again. This time, they had to fly for several minutes before they began to see a gigantic structure on the edge of the mountain.
A huge dais with dozens of gardens was floating in the sky. On the mountain itself, there were other gardens, but these were glued to the mountain wall. There were some library shelves in it. Some gardens were immense and could easily accommodate thousands of people.
The fact that it was snowing heavily made the yellow lights coming out of metal poles in several different places blink over the blizzard. The three of them stood still in the sky for a few seconds.
"I can’t take you forward, this is a challenge every wizard must pass." Unlike the Sol academy, in this kingdom registrations were only allowed for magicians. Kayden thanked the prince and began to study the blizzard.
Kayden couldn’t feel it in his spiritual sense, it seemed like it had no physical form, but when it touched his body it was cold and heavy, his breathing caused waves of vapor, and everything seemed real.
The first thing Kayden did was activate his path and start flying forward. For every meter he advanced, the snowfall increased considerably, covering his entire view, and the streetlights began to become increasingly distant and turned off.
"This is made of mana," Kayden felt with his path. He could transform this into pure mana to be used, but he would spend a lot of energy on this action. With that, he just stood still and began to feel the flow of mana.
Easily, he found his way to the academy. He could force his way through just by using his path and breaking the mana flow in the area he wanted, but that would be the common way to pass.
Kayden was looking for the true goal, one that probably only the geniuses of this realm could complete. Slowly, the minutes began to pass. Kayden started looking for where the mana flow ended and...
"There is no end." Kayden realized that there was no end, not even a beginning, the blizzard was just there the entire time, it seemed something immutable and caused by nature itself. After a few more minutes, Kayden smiled.
The blizzard was a magical creature. That’s why it seemed to have no end Kayden was inside the animal, the entire blizzard was his body, and that’s why it was snowing in all directions.
The large holes without matter that he was feeling didn’t make sense, but his theory was probably correct, he had only seen this cycle in living beings, not even high-level runes were capable of doing a cycle without loss of energy.
At this moment, he had two possibilities, he could simply open the way while changing the mana flow subtly, this was probably what mages did, or...
"Bow down." Kayden began to alter the will of mana within the creature, his mere action on a handful of mana caused a cry of a primordial beast that made the blood of everyone in the region freeze.
The blizzard has been unchanging for hundreds of years...
It disappeared, there wasn’t even a snowflake floating in the air, the view of the academy opened up completely revealing even more gardens, and this time he could see people walking through the places.
"Humph!" Raven snorted as she blocked a few thousand ice spikes that headed towards Kayden, then unleashed her aura on the beast that was hidden in the air and pressed it with her mana.
Instantly, the beast began to shout human words showing that it was in the third realm.
"No! No! Stop! I made a mistake!" Without the slightest shame, she prioritized her life above her dignity, the commotion had already reached the ears of all the students and within seconds the academy master appeared in the air while facing the visitors.
"Hello Kayden, Miss Raven, could you let Olaf go? He’s just a peaceful beast." His thorns were anything but peaceful, but the woman released him, the man in front of the two was young.
