"It seems I have some talent."
With that, he casually waved his hand, and the flames in his hand vanished instantly.
...
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed like flowing water.
Over the past three years, Viktor's reputation has grown rapidly, much like that of an exemplary child.
By the age of three, he was already able to read and write with ease and was proficient in various fields of knowledge.
At the age of four, he had already mastered the basics of magic, becoming a rare magic apprentice, a feat unmatched by others.
By the age of five, he had become a first-tier mage and could even freely wield first-tier magic.
Every nobleman who knew of the achievements of the young master of the Clevina family would blush and feel compelled to offer insincere praise when faced with Tisnato's boasting about his own child's talent.
At the same time, they didn't forget to belittle their own children of the same age who only knew how to pee and play in the mud.
She even secretly resolved to buy more books for her child when she got home, so that her child could study hard.
Don't want to study? Then start beating people from a young age!
In short, with the emergence of a prodigy like Victor in the aristocratic circle, the children of other nobles were also forced to get involved.
However, Victor himself never seemed to care about these things, and he never even thought about showing off.
The reason he revealed his talent for using magic at the age of five was, to put it bluntly, because...
We don't have enough magic books.
Indeed, Victor was exceptionally talented in learning magic, to an absurd degree.
But learning things quickly doesn't mean he always has new things to learn.
Therefore, he deliberately displayed some of his talents, with the aim of letting Tisnato see them and show them off.
Look how outstanding my child is! Do any of you have a child as outstanding as mine?
By showing off, he made sure that every noble circle and even mages from all over the world knew the fact that 'the Clevina family has a young mage prodigy'.
Then, when Tisnato goes from house to house to steal... he'll have an even better reason to borrow their treasured magic books.
My child is at an age where they need to study.
Out of respect for Tisnato, and given that Victor truly possessed genuine talent, most others would 'willingly' lend their spellbooks.
Not lending?
At least for now, no one dares to refuse to lend a book.
This is just a simple psychological strategy, but it relies on Viktor's amazing talent.
Moreover, this is quite reasonable.
Although a five-year-old first-tier mage is extremely rare, it is not unheard of.
However, Victor wasn't actually a first-tier mage.
"Young Master Victor, the head of the family needs your help."
A servant's respectful voice came from outside the door.
Upon hearing this, Viktor casually replied:
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
With that, he clenched his fist and slammed the magic book shut.
Then, he straightened the hem of his trench coat and reached out to pull up his collar.
Immediately afterwards, a circular array appeared out of thin air as its outline.
Its interior is naturally filled with tight and logical patterns through magical connections, like an intricate spider web.
The next moment, the magic circle seemed to be activated, and every line emitted a soft, azure light.
Until it completely enveloped Viktor.
[Second-Tier Magic - Teleportation]
A lightness appeared beneath my feet, and my limbs seemed to float in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Viktor's vision was obscured by a hazy light.
The surrounding scenery blurred rapidly, and he instantly left the study, teleporting towards his predetermined destination.
call--
A gust of wind pushed aside the magic circle above, the airflow echoing inside the study, causing the curtains to flutter and sway.
The magic book on the desk was thus opened and several pages rolled.
In an instant, a hazy stream of light pierced through the magical air and landed at the entrance of the mansion's main hall.
The magic circle re-formed, and Victor clearly felt the ethereal and illusory feeling on his body rapidly recede.
His gaze refocused, and his body returned to its physical form.
He knew that if Tisnato needed him, he would call him to the hall.
These days, Tisnato often goes out for various reasons, and sometimes he doesn't come back for several days.
Viktor knew all of these things.
Moreover, considering the timing, he could roughly guess what it was about when Tesnato said he needed to talk to him.
Although he was slightly excited, he managed to calm himself down as a five-year-old child.
And be ready to show surprise at any time.
Once everything was ready, Viktor pushed open the door.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, he saw Tisnato standing in the doorway with his back to him.
That behavior clearly showed that he felt guilty.
Victor, on the other hand, bypassed Tisnato and focused his gaze on the person in front of him.
There, several servants were gathered around a crib.
They whispered to each other from time to time, afraid of disturbing the baby in the bed.
"Ahem, you've arrived."
Tisnato coughed softly.
Viktor nodded and responded.
"Father, I heard you called me for something."
Victor has always been like this, always maintaining politeness and elegance.
It seems that the pursuit of etiquette and composure by the nobility has been completely etched into their bones.
Even Tisnato, a true nobleman, felt somewhat ashamed in the presence of Victor.
After all, as a soldier, he has always been carefree and easygoing.
