Chapter 133: Divine Flame Fortification

"Since I will be using fire magic more often, I should increase the rank of my fire magic affinity." Leo suddenly mumbled.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? You already told the Headmistress that your fire magic affinity is E-Rank, right? If your magic affinity suddenly increases, won't that expose you?" Lilith asked.

"No, it'll be fine. I can just tell her that I was mistaken, and they have no proof. It would be more suspicious if they detect my fire magic affinity to be E-Rank and then it becomes A-Rank during the next test."

"Now that you mention it…"

Leo opened up the Magic Shop and proceeded to purchase the upgrade for his fire magic affinity for 500 Magic Points.

<You have purchased 'Improve Magic Affinity(Fire)' for 500 Magic Points>

<Fire Magic Affinity Rank E → D>

However, Leo wasn't satisfied with just D-Rank and wanted to push it further.

He looked at the cost for the next rank.

'2,000 Magic Points, huh? I'll do it!'

<You have purchased 'Improve Magic Affinity(Fire)' for 2,000 Magic Points>

<Fire Magic Affinity Rank D → C>

And in order to increase his fire magic affinity to Rank B, he needed 5,000 Magic Points.

'I have enough to make it Rank B, but I won't have any Magic Points afterward, which isn't a good idea.'

In the end, Leo decided to wait on the next purchase— at least until he can grind out some more Magic Points.

He turned to look at the available quests in the Quest Shop.

[Learn Tier 7 Magic Spell: 5,000 MP]

[Reward: 50,000 Magic Points]

'This is it! I just need to learn a Tier 7 Magic Spell and I'll acquire more than enough Magic Points to upgrade my fire magic affinity!'

He turned to look at Lilith and asked her, "Can you teach me a Tier 7 Magic Spell? I need it for a quest."

"Tier 7, huh… I don't mind, but for which affinity? Do you want more dark magic spells, or do you want fire magic spells since you'll be focusing on your fire magic now?" She asked him.

He pondered for a moment before speaking, "Fire magic."

"Alright. Then what kind of spell do you want? Support? Debuff? Damage?"

Leo started pondering again.

"I'd like one that buffs my defense since I already have enough firepower."

"A defensive buff, right? Let me think for a bit…"

A few moments later, she spoke, "Alright, I got it. It's called Divine Flame Fortification, and it's considered both light and fire magic."

"Huh? You know light magic even though you're a vampire?" Leo asked with raised eyebrows, as light and dark was the polar opposite of each other.

"Even if I cannot use it, I still wanted to learn it— No, I had to." She said with a bittersweet smile on her face.

"You had to learn it?" Leo mumbled in a puzzled manner.

"You said humans have a limit when it comes to learning magic, right? What about vampires? Do they also have a limit? Seeing how you know so many magic spells, even though you can't use most of them, I'm guessing that vampires don't have a limit and can learn as much magic as they want."

"Buuu! Wrong!" Lilith said with her arms made into a cross.

"Just like humans, vampires also have a limit to how many magic spells they can learn, and it's even a little more than what humans are capable of. However, because of this, very few vampires have magic affinities beside dark. I'd say that 99 percent of all vampires only have dark magic affinity."

"Then why are you able to…?"

Lilith showed him a mysterious smile, "That's a secret, but if you agree to become my boyfriend, I don't mind sharing it with you."

"That's…"

"I'm just joking. Here. Good luck memorizing this." Lilith interrupted him and showed him the Tier 7 magic shortly after.

Leo didn't say anything else and proceeded to memorize the magic circle.

Four and a half hours later—

<You have learned the Magic Spell: Divine Flame Fortification>

[Divine Flame Fortification]

[Affinity: Fire/Light]

[Tier: 7]

[Mana: 75,000]

[Mastery Rank: F]

[Description: Bless yourself with divine protection. For the next 30 seconds, the Blessed will have increased light resistance by 100%, increased fire resistance by 100%, increased Damage Mitigation by 30%, and immunity to all fire and dark status effects. Furthermore, the Blessed will acquire the effects of Regeneration and Greater Defense Up while the buff is active.]

[Regeneration: Periodically recovers your injuries]

[Greater Defense Up: Increases your defense by 50%]

Ding!

<You have completed a Quest>

[+50,000 Magic Points]

"Thanks, Lilith!"

Now that he had plenty of Magic Points, he purchased another upgrade for his fire magic affinity for 5,000 Magic Points.

<You have purchased 'Improve Magic Affinity(Fire)' for 5,000 Magic Points>

<Fire Magic Affinity Rank C → B>

And again since he could afford it with ease.

<You have purchased 'Improve Magic Affinity(Fire)' for 20,000 Magic Points>

<Fire Magic Affinity Rank B → A>

Leo wanted to see if he could afford another purchase, but it would cost him another 50,000 Magic Points to do so.

Still, he'd managed to increase his fire magic affinity to Rank E to Rank A in a single day.

"Did I overdo it…?" Leo muttered out loud after realizing that he got a little too excited.

"Overdo what?" Lilith asked him out of curiosity.

"I increased my fire magic affinity to Rank A…" He said with a stiff smile on his face.

"You what?!" Lilith was shocked, but not because of his actions. She was shocked that he was able to increase so many ranks for his magic affinity in such a short time frame.

"So I overdid it…" Leo sighed after seeing her reaction.

"Eh? Oh, no. I think it's fine. In fact, I believe the Headmistress will be happier this way, too." Lilith quickly said.

"Let's hope that's the case." Leo said.
