Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Vicente showed Newton his first magical form, revealing to the teacher the five most impressive pentagrams a Paragon could possess.",

Faced with these five essences, Newton couldn't help but stare at the monstrosity called Vicente, seeing how this young man had surpassed all his expectations.

With three cyan and two green pentagrams, Vicente was certainly as strong as an Archmage of the human race.

'When he reaches his sixth pentagram, and that essence is cyan, he will most likely reach the level of five pentagrams of that quality and a single green one. By that time, he'll probably be even stronger than superior 6th stage vampires!'

Newton clenched his fists as he silently watched and felt Vicente's powers.

"You can already withdraw your essences, Vicente." He smiled as he motioned for the young man to stop what he was doing.

"Your first magic form is fantastic. It's obviously not as powerful as your Throne of Darkness, but when it has 5 cyan pentagrams and 1 green, it will be as powerful as your throne is now.

If you absorb all the missing pentagrams into your second magical form, it's possible that by becoming an Archmage, you will achieve the structural and spiritual quality of a Magus!

By then, not even Demien Bloodthorne will stand in your way!"

Vicente smiled at Newton's optimistic comment, even though he knew it was possible.

The problem was he had to reach the 6th stage and get all the missing pentagrams. It wouldn't be easy, nor would it be quick, and there would certainly be a variety of problems that would endanger his life before he had the chance to complete these requirements.

"I am far from that level. I'm not even a Mid-level Paragon yet," Vicente said with a bitter smile. "Meanwhile, the enemy could easily kill me several times over, considering the way I am now."

"It won't be that easy for them, either." Newton commented seriously as he looked into Vicente's eyes. "Even vampires have their limits, otherwise they would have conquered the continent long ago.

The cultivation of these creatures is much slower than that of humans. A Paragon or Archmage of their race can take several years in seclusion to absorb opportunities that would take us magicians weeks at most to do the same. That's why our race has dominated the Polaris Realm for so long.

Besides, we're not the only ones on the continent. Even though the vampires have a lot of power now, there are still creatures that can impede their plans. If they're careless, it's possible that some of these creatures will leave their lairs to stir up trouble.

Given the worst variables for this race, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have to worry about high-level vampires for the next five years.

That's probably all the time you'll have before you head north again."

"I see..." Vicente clenched his fists, imagining that in five years Nina's situation would be much better than it was now, and the Seidel Kingdom would be stable again.

"Thank you for your answers, Professor. I hope you're right. It will still be very difficult the way you predict. But there will be a chance for our race if the future turns out as you see it."

"Hmm, I hope so too." Newton stood up with Vicente and Lauren, then walked back the way they had come minutes before.

"What are you going to do now?" He looked at Vicente as he stopped in front of the entrance to his classroom.

Vicente closed his eyes and sighed. "I will take care of the capital, rebuild the human position nearby and then return to Metal City."

"Good luck with your plans. If you need anything regarding your sisters, I'm at your disposal."

"Hmm, see you later."

Vicente and Lauren left the building of Seidel's Magical College, her mind going back to the conversation about her earlier.

"When will you let me cultivate again? I won't get stronger with my cultivation sealed, which will prevent me from regaining my erased memories." She told him, a smile on the corner of her lips.

Vicente looked at her, a little depressed, as if someone had taken something away from him.

'I probably won't see Lauren fully recover.' He thought as he looked at the green Magic Gem on her forehead.

Lauren becoming a Paragon was already an impressive miracle, probably a sign of how much Nixlas' Shadows had invested in her. But from now on, she wouldn't be able to level up so easily, even if she cultivated in the northern region.

Being in the southern region, especially in the weakest area of the continent, it would be quite difficult for Lauren to become an Archmage and regain all her memories during Vicente's time on this continent.

He already imagined that he would die or become a Magus before she reached the 6th stage!

Feeling a weight on his conscience, he stopped in front of her and put both hands on his sister's shoulders before embracing her.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to force an agreement between us. Unfortunately, I can't trust you completely." He said into Lauren's ear, squeezing her body while she saw it wouldn't be easy to get away from him.

"Is that what a brother should do to his sister?" she asked coolly. "You could have just forgotten about me up north!"

Seeing her break free of his embrace and run away, Vicente sighed, but didn't change his mind.

"One day she'll understand you, master." Torne appeared outside Vicente's body and looked in Lauren's direction. "An agreement to limit her actions against the magical community isn't bad. I'm sure she'll understand your motives once she's fully recovered. Just do what's necessary to make sure she has the chance to remember everything one day."

"Hmm, I know. I will. It's just a shame that it has to be like this," he muttered as he closed his eyes.

"Someday it will get better. Maybe this is just a small terrible phase in a long, happy journey. You're still young; so is Lauren. Things are hard now, but I'm sure the future will be bright."

"I hope you're right."
