Binding System

Scarlett turned her head in the direction he was pointing at.

"I see." She did not scold him for stealing the skeleton's space ring because the owner had died.

No, even if the owner were still alive, she would not say anything because this world was a cruel place where the strong got privileges and could do whatever they wanted.

Scarlett's eyes widened for a second when she saw Ace's clone walking toward them.

'Another Ace?'

Even though it was only his ice clone, but there was no difference between the real Ace and the clone as if they were twins.

She returned her attention to Ace and spoke, "Ace, is that your clone magic?"

"Yes." He gave an honest answer. "There are two spell books in that skeleton's space ring; Ice Clone spell book and Ice Wing spell book."

"Does that mean you have mastered Ice Clone magic?" she threw another question.

"I have mastered both Ice Clone magic and Ice Wing magic." like before, he gave an honest answer because there was no point in lying to her.

"How long have we been in this cave?" she asked curiously.

"About thirty minutes." He believed they had been in the cave for about thirty minutes.

"Does that mean you mastered two magics in thirty minutes?" she kept throwing questions as if she was interrogating him.

"No. I only needed a few seconds to master these two magics." Of course, he could master these two magics instantly due to the help of his system, or else there was no way he could do that.

Scarlett retrieved a spell book from her space ring and gave it to Ace. "Then try mastering this magic."

It was a spell book she bought after finding out that he was Aeris. She had not given it to him all this time because she could not find the right time to do that.

No, it was not because she could not find the right time to do it.

It was because she forgot about it!

Many things had happened to them since they reached the Framingburns forest, including matters related to their relationship.

That was the main reason why she forgot to give that spell book to him.

Ace was startled when Scarlett took a spell book out of her space ring.

'Spell book?'

She was an archer, so he thought she would not have a spell book.

"It's Earth Shield spell book. I bought it several days ago." She explained the reason why she had a spell book. "It's a Tier 3 magic like your Ice Clone magic. Try mastering it now."

There was a reason why she told him to try mastering Earth Shield magic right away.

She wanted to know whether he was lying or not!

Sure, Evelyn had said Ace was a genius, but she wanted proof.

She wanted to see it with her eyes!

Ace was even more shocked after hearing her remarks.

​ 'What?! Tier 3 magic? Does that mean magic also has a ranking system? Why didn't my system tell me about it? Was it because my system was only at level 1 before?'

Countless questions emerged in his head.

'I will ask my system later.'

He could not ask his system immediately because he was chatting with Scarlett.

"Sure." After saying that, Ace took the Earth Shield spell book from her hands.

[Ding! Host has discovered the Earth Shield spell book. Do you want to learn it?]

A notification instantly popped up.

'Yes.'

In order to make Scarlett not suspicious of him, he pretended to read the spell book.

Scarlett, who was looking at him, was confused.

'Hmm? Why is he only skimming the spell book?'

Even though she was confused, she did not say anything.

Ace imagined a huge earth shield appearing on his left side as he cast a magic spell. "Earth Shield!"

A huge earthen shield suddenly appeared on his left side.

Scarlett covered her mouth in surprise.

'He is not lying! He can master Tier 3 magic only in a few seconds! Amazing!'

Previously, she was shocked because he only skimmed the spell book earlier.

'My Ace is amazing! He is the best young man in Vlizica continent.'

There were several reasons why she said he was the best young man in the Vlizica continent.

First, he was only eighteen years old, but he was already at master rank. Second, he could break through two ranks in less than three hours.

Third, he could master magic instantly, and lastly, he was an Aeris.

God's son!

Anyone would think of him as a god's son if they knew what he could do or how great his talent was because he seemed like a special human being.

She also would have thought of him as a god's son if she had not seen his father before because he met the criteria to become the ruler of this world.

'I didn't expect to have a close relationship with someone as amazing as him.'

Previously, she did not know how amazing he was because he showed no signs of being a talented young man.

However, everything changed since he returned from Framingburns forest with Evelyn.

His talents appeared one by one!

He even kept giving her one surprise after another.

Of course, she was happy because, with this, he could protect himself.

'Ace…'

The happiness within her grew bigger when she remembered what his dream was.

"See! I'm not lying to you." Even though she did not say anything, Ace knew what she had in mind because it was written on her pretty face.

"You are amazing, Ace." Scarlett smiled softly as she praised him.

They began to talk about many things. They decided to stay in the cave because it was almost dark.

Ace stored deer meat in his space ring yesterday, so they had something to eat when they were hungry.

Like before, they talked again. After Scarlett fell asleep, Ace sat in front of a bonfire because he wanted to know about the magic power ranking.

'System, tell me about the magic power ranking?'

He threw a question in his head.
