“Then what kind of treatment do you need?”

Lanza’s tone was a little dry. He was sure that Andrew would ask for a lot of resources.

After checking the information earlier, he still could not understand why Andrew wanted to hide his strength.

However, there was one thing that he realized later on. The power of that extremely fast fireball was quite terrifying!

It was definitely not something that an average intermediate mage could master. Although beginner level spells could be easily found in the public library, spells of a higher level were usually precious knowledge that the various large factions kept in their own private collections. Andrew’s strange fireball… was definitely not cheap.

This meant that either Andrew had some fortuitous encounter, or he must have a large faction behind him! No matter what it was, it was worth the Magic Association’s branch trying their best to rope him in.

Thus, Lanza spoke up very quickly.

“Feel free to mention the conditions. I’ll try my best to satisfy whatever I can.”

The vice president decided to build a good relationship with this mysterious powerhouse. In any case, he was spending the Magic Association’s resources to build a good relationship with this old master Andrew. So, why not?

Andrew heard the other party’s intentions through the phone, so he spoke directly without holding back.

“I request the authority to train in the Magic Crystal Room for 15 days a month.”

“Okay.”

Lanza agreed straightforwardly, which surprised Andrew. It should be known that an ordinary beginner mage could only apply to train in the Magic Crystal Room for one day a month at most, and even for someone as talented as Andrew once was, he wouldn’t dare presume to get that kind of treatment.

Even if he became a Fellow, the request of 15 days was ridiculously high! This was a treat only available to big shots at the level of the President of the Association!

Andrew originally thought that the other party would definitely haggle over the request, but he actually agreed without hesitation.

“In addition, regarding the Association’s library, I want to borrow it unconditionally.”

Following that, Andrew gave another condition in a somewhat strange manner.

This time, Lanza’s tone was much more relaxed. He could just flip through the books in the library. Since he couldn’t take them away anyway, he agreed to it even more straightforwardly.

“Alright, since you have this intention, we will immediately give you permanent access to the library.”

Seeing the other party’s enthusiasm, Andrew was momentarily speechless. He even began to wonder if the request he had just made was too low. After thinking about it, he felt that these resources were enough for him to cultivate, so he responded with a satisfied tone.

“Very good, then I’ll come and complete the procedures tomorrow. It’s my honor to be invited by the Association.”

…

‘I actually came back on the second day.’

Andrew looked at the few Mage Towers in front of him and felt stunned. Originally, he thought that with the efficiency of the Association, he would have to wait at least half a week before he could come over to borrow books.

In the end, he had just finished his test when he suddenly became a Fellow of the Association and returned here.

Before Andrew had the time to walk forward, the tester from yesterday had walked over eagerly and fearfully.

“Mr. Smith, you’re here. The vice president is already waiting for you.”

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully, completely acting like a servant.

Seeing the other party’s courteous attitude, Andrew was too lazy to flare up, so he only spoke indifferently.

“Take me to see your vice president.”

When the tester saw that he had not received any punishment, a trace of joy appeared on his face, and he even ran along capriciously.

“Please follow me.”

After about three minutes, the two of them arrived at the Mage Tower on the left side of the Association. After going up through the elevator, Andrew finally saw the vice president who had agreed to all his demands the day before.

The other party was quite enthusiastic and eagerly welcomed him.

“Mr. Smith, with you joining our Magic Association, I feel much more at ease.”

Andrew’s attitude was not bad either.

“No problem, vice president. Your generosity also pleasantly surprised me.”

When he spoke, there was some sincerity in his words. After all, it was considered good if an ordinary Fellow of the Magic Association received even half of this treatment.

Seeing this, Lanza only smiled casually.

“It’s only right for a powerhouse like you to receive more treatment, isn’t it? Otherwise, it would be humiliating for you.”

“It’s still like what I said before. You can use these resources as you wish, as long as you lend a hand when the Association is in trouble.”

“Yes, no problem.”

Andrew nodded, then spoke again.

“But I have another request…”

Seeing the vice president Lanza’s strange expression, Andrew continued to explain.

“It’s not a big problem. I hope you won’t tell anyone about my status as a Fellow. I don’t want my two children to cause trouble outside because of my status.”

“And I have my own reasons for hiding it from them.”

Andrew deliberately made it unclear.

The vice president immediately said with a smile.

“Of course, it’s no problem.”

Then, he came over with some eagerness.

“Mr. Smith, there’s a tea party at my house tonight. Do you want to…”

Andrew completely ignored the invitation. After he received the promise, he said straightforwardly, “You see, I came here today because I wanted to go to the library to look for some information. I wonder if I can go over first?”

Seeing the other party speak in this manner, Lanza’s movements froze for a moment. 

However, his social skills were very good, so he immediately said with a smile on his face, “Of course you can. This is the resource that we agreed on. Mr. Smith, this is a good opportunity to test if the books in our Association’s collection can catch your eye.”

“I’m looking forward to this.”

Andrew nodded. Then, the tester from before came over again.

“Mr. Smith, I’ll take you there.”

…

After entering the library, Andrew randomly found a reason to send the tester away. Then, he looked around excitedly.

‘Sure enough, the books in the Association’s collection are much better than those in the public library.’

He casually skimmed through and found records of several rare spells.

“Constant Temperature Radiation, Primitive Illumination Spell, Plasma Fireball, Poison Fire Blast…” Andrew read out a series of names.

Many of these spells were close to being lost and had a collection value. There were also some powerful modified spells that could not be found in the public library.

In addition, Andrew also discovered that some of the local mages’ insights were also recorded in the book.

‘Introduction to Casting Materials, On The Effects of High-concentration Alcohol on Fire Spells, How to Change The Core Material Structure of Meteorite Spells, On The Classification of Sound Wave Spells…’

‘It’s quite valuable.’

Andrew’s goal was not these spells, although he did not mind. When he was free, he would practice these spells that he had not learned before.

As for those insights, with his current level, he did not need to come into contact with them too early. They often involved the combined effects of several attributes.

“What I need to look for now is more information about the fire spirit and some basic knowledge about the magic practice after the beginner mage.”

As Andrew muttered, he quickly found his first target for the day. He pulled out a book called ‘Introduction to Magic Nodes’ from the bookshelf..
