After looking at his status screen, he mused, “I’ve seven thousand and five hundred free LPs available. I can finally raise all of my attributes to the average attributes of a two-star mage.”
After he got his memories back, he realised that there is a NORMALISED scale of attributes other than mana which corresponds to the realms of each mage. For example, regular humans and novice mages have:-
Strength: 10, Stamina: 10, Agility:10
Intelligence: 10, Vitality: 10
For one star mages, this scale is set at 20 units. For two star mages, all attributes are 50, and for three-star mages, it has all attributes at 100.
However, it’s not necessarily true that a two star mage would have a strength or agility etc of 50 units. If he is a strength based mage or an earth type mage, his physical strength can easily be over 50 units. The same is true for other types of mages that focuses on one particular attribute such as agility, stamina or intelligence. But focusing on one attribute, makes you weak in other dimensions. For example if you are a strength type mage, then either your agility or stamina will be very low.
After gaining his memories, he knew that his previous approach of equally raising his attributes was a good choice. Usually, mages would want to fight in long ranges using their high amounts of mana as an advantage but it’s a known fact that when one is out of mana, he is like a lamb awaiting his slaughter. That’s why it is equally important to develop others aspects of strength as well.
‘With previous Max’s memories, I don’t need to waste my time in library, searching for information about the common knowledge anymore.’ Max had to accept that his previous self, despite not being able to sense mana and improve, was very studious. He had read every book available in their library with the exception of spell books. He didn’t read those because he knew it would be useless and make his mood worse.
“I should increase my basic attributes by half for now. I should be able to adapt in a few days.” After thinking he increased his attributes by the half of the current points. He didn’t directly raise them to 50 as it wasn’t an easy to adapt to such increase in power in a short time and he still had around a month until the recruitment of academies starts.
…
Days passed very quickly. There was only a week before every Academy would start recruiting again. Although minimum requirement was to be a one star mage and having second grade affinity to participate in the trial examinations, rarely any one-star mage passed and successfully join academies.
However, Max wasn’t worried about not being able to pass as he was already a two-star mage. Moreover, his physique was among the top in the two-star realm now, with all of his attributes at or above 50 points mark which was very rare.

…In the dining hall…
Everyone sat around the table, eating the delicacies made from magic fruits and a beast called Thorny fish. This fish is famous for its top-quality meat. Max ate this fish with relish.
“Max, so have you decided which academy you want to join?” Ashton asked as he saw him gobbling in ecstasy.
Max finished his fish and thought for a while “I haven’t decided yet. Maybe I’ll join the Royal magic academy where Emily is or the Cloud magic academy where Anna is studying.”
Ashton nodded, he didn’t seem to be worried about him being indecisive and said “Yes, these are good choices. But The royal magic academy as the top academy of our kingdom has very harsh requirements that even a two star mage such as yourself would struggle to fulfill. However, Although the royal academy holds the strongest academy title, Cloud magic academy isn’t weaker by any means. In fact, the cloud academy is the best choice if you want to join. So do your best.”
“Yes father.” Max nodded. He only wanted to join the academy for the purpose of learning some fire elemental spells as they weren’t available in every Academy. As for the resources to cultivate, he didn’t need them due the grace of his ‘godly’ system.
“Max if you join the cloud academy, meet Anna as soon as you can or she will be angry with you.” Amelia giggled.
Max smiled and nodded but when he remembered that Lilly wasn’t here to ho with him. He mood became a bit sad.
Sensing his mood, nobody spoke and kept eating. Esther looked at him and knew what he was thinking. She asked, “Thinking about Lilly?”
Max nodded subconsciously and felt embarrassed when he saw everyone looking at him with amused expressions.
“Focus on becoming strong. When you have enough power, you can go there and join her.” Esther said. She then stood up and walked towards the exit, her emotionless voice resounding in the hall “You haven’t seen the cruelty of this world yet. If you aren’t at least a five star mage, then your life isn’t in your control. You won’t even know how you may die.”
Max frowned. Her words suggested that even a three-star or a four-star mage aren’t strong enough to ensure their safety. How can that be possible? In his opinion, a three-star mage can become a viscount and live a very comforting noble life not to mention a four-star mage.
Ashton looked at his confused expression, stood up and patted his shoulder “There are some things you don’t know about and you don’t need to know them yet. But don’t ever get complacent with your strength.” He then smiled “Come with me. I will give a gift before you go.”
Saying this he walked out. Max also followed as he had already finished his meal. Amelia, Eva and others also finished went to do their own things.
