Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 57  Discoveries 

A second after punching that training dummy in the head, Vicente saw a hole the size of his fist appearing in that wooden object.

Upon seeing this, he opened his mouth in amazement, for until yesterday, he had never managed to damage that dummy!

'Impressive! And I didn't even try to use much of my strength!' He exclaimed in his mind, understanding why newly awakened magicians needed to go through seclusion.

Without a moment to understand one's own characteristics, one would end up endangering those in their surroundings and even themselves.

By advancing a stage, a magician's powers would temporarily become destabilized, and they could either use more or less strength than they wanted.

This could seriously injure those close to a new advanced magician, but it could also be a danger to the magician. After all, being unable to use all their powers in the way they wanted was not good!

He clenched his fists and watched the dummy regenerate. 'Let's test everything I can do!'

He then moved against such a combat dummy, something capable of providing an opponent capable of moving and defending itself. But it couldn't attack.

This was a piece of equipment that every magician would use for training when they were at the first magical stage. Not everyone had the coins to buy one, but Vicente and Rory did because Andrew had bought one for Lauren before he left for Saltstar City.

As he moved, Vicente paid attention to his speed, which was noticeably higher than the one he had previously.

'Before the Magic Gem, I could run around 20 kilometers per hour... But now, I can move at 40 kilometers per hour!' He noticed his speed amidst his faster and slower movements.

Vicente was not maintaining a steady pace as he moved around that training room. His speed increased and decreased beyond his control.

But even his minimum speed was already much faster than it had been until yesterday.

He saw the dummy slipping away from him once again when his speed varied to the minimum, but as he watched it closely, he realized something.

"Hmmm?" His eyes narrowed, and he saw some of the dust in that room against the light, watching it fall as if watching a slow-motion video.

'I can see better! My vision has improved a lot, and by combining it with my reflexes, I can even see things as if in slow motion?' He wondered as he experimented with his abilities without even trying to use his Magic Pentagram.

All he was doing was stimulating his body with mana, as he had been doing for years.

By stimulating his body with mana, Vicente would have all his senses sharper, be stronger but faster, have faster and better reactions, and recover from injuries more easily.

Apprentices, but against him, it had no chance.

Even though he was only a Junior Apprentice, all of Vicente's It was as if he had gone from being a human to a superhuman!

He would realize this in the next few moments, surpassing that dummy who should generally be a good training partner for Apprentices, but against him, it had no chance.

Even though he was only a Junior Apprentice, all of Vicente's characteristics were abnormally high, and he readily realized that.

'That's because of my second Magic Gem!' He noticed this effortlessly, seeing that his body was much stronger than he thought it would be after his Awakening.

Vice had analyzed Rory for days during his training sessions. Through this time of observation, he had concluded how strong he would be after his Awakening.

But now he had at least four times more strength, speed, and power than he had anticipated!

This could not be because of his fighting and movement techniques from his earthly time, so the only explanation was his second power!

He sensed this and decided to test the special power of his Red Magic Pentagram, curious to see how his powers would show themselves.

Would it be affected?

Vicente didn't know, but he decided to use his first Pentagram even though he hadn't stabilized his powers and needed at least a few hours of training with that puppet to work this out.

In doing so, he made a combat stance and followed his instincts.

The special power that would come from a Magic Pentagram could be used for magicians seconds after absorbing it.

There was no special restriction related to this, and the magician did not have to earn this ability by going through a test or challenge.

By gaining a Magic Pentagram, one would have already passed any tests there might be, and this would have 100% compatibility with that person.

Precisely because of this, the activation and the best way to use these powers would come to the mind of the owner of that Pentagram when they decided to activate it.

Vicente acted almost unconsciously at that moment, feeling strange sensations as his fingers moved, noticing a weird weight arising in his mind.

Looking at the surroundings, he noticed several structures in his training room shaking while the lighting in the area failed.

Not only did the light fail, but it also changed color strangely, showing Vicente different electromagnetic spectrums.

As this happened, Vicente's eyes turned as white as lightning.

The metallic items in the surroundings floated towards Vice and slowly began to change shape, forming shields and blades as he imagined these things.

However, as he continued to infuse his mana into his Magic Gem, Vicente noticed that, unlike other people, only part of it was glowing in the color of his talent.

While the pentagram glowed in an intense yellow, the symbol of '69' lying there remained in an opaque yellow tone.

Noticing this, Vicente looked in the direction of his forehead, and an idea flashed through his mind. 'That... Is this the talent of my first Magic Gem? Does every gem have a different talent?' He opened his mouth as he thought of this absurd possibility.

But as he thought about it, Vicente felt his power reach a new level, and he began to see field lines in his surroundings.

Noises arose from his house while he felt more and more metallic objects in his range.

'Shit! I have to stop, or I'll destroy my house!' He felt sweat dripping down his back and tried to control himself.

Unfortunately for Vicente's neighbors, his little test had already caused havoc in the surrounding area, damaging several magic tools in those residences.

Many tools and items used in daily life in these residences depended on metallic minerals that immediately suffered from Vicente's test!

Having no control over himself, he naturally demonstrated far more powers than he would have if he had the choice!

Vice didn't know it, but that afternoon his neighbors would spread a rumor in this town, talking about a strange phenomenon capable of ruining low-level magical equipment!

Luckily he had only kept his ability activated for a few moments, and no one had noticed him at the time of activation.
