Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

"Vicente, good battle. You obviously need to go through a period of adaptation, but it's good that you start thinking about the rank of Outer Disciples in readiness. With your strength, you could soon enter the top 100."

The young people next to Miles heard the group supervisor and couldn't help imagining that the supervisor wasn't exaggerating.

But some of them looked at Vicente out of the corner of their eye, with a certain curiosity, perhaps a doubt, whether he could beat one of the Outer Disciples in the top 100.

'The top 100 of each of the hierarchical positions in the sect is advertised on the main channels and billboards around the city. Anyone who reaches the top 100 is a monster with the potential to go far and make a lot of coins,' thought one of the young men waiting to fight.

'But precisely because the top 100 is so generous, everyone capable of reaching that level is a real monster, with great cultivation, speed of comprehension and incredible pentagram configurations.'

Another of these young men smiled as he saw Vicente stopping next to Miles. "Good luck, younger brother Fuller. Reaching the top 100 is possible, but it's difficult."

Vicente had already heard everything there was to know about the top 100 of each of the ranks from Prisiche, so he understood well the competition to achieve this feat full of benefits.

For all the hierarchical positions within Stonewall, the top 100 ranks always had great benefits for the members who held them. These advantages increased according to one's position in the ranks, but in short, they gave bonuses on the salaries of sect members, rights to claim resources and artifacts, the right to use special training and cultivation sites, among other things.

There were missions in the sect that one could only do if one's position was in the top 100 of one of the ranks. There were also certain services that were only available to members who were well placed in the ranks.

'Top 100, huh? For that, I'd have to fight battles broadcast to the entire 'island' and expose my powers to millions of magical creatures.' Vicente looked in the direction of the artifacts responsible for broadcasting events.

As much as these devices were there, they weren't active today. In fact, with a few exceptions, training sessions like today's were not broadcast. Only official fights valid for the Combat Center rankings were 100% broadcast.

This was a big negative point for those fighting, in Vicente's opinion. He preferred not to have to expose his powers to the masses. However, he couldn't deny the temptation, since accessing the top 100 and its benefits could really make one's journey in the sect much easier.

It was possible for him to increase the speed of his progress within Stonewall just by accessing a position in the top 100.

He didn't want to expose his powers, but he couldn't help wishing for what he could achieve by getting a good position in the ranks.

As for the difficulty of the mission, Vicente didn't care if he had to defeat monsters. His aim was to reach the peak and he would travel any tortuous and thorny path to achieve his ambitions!

"I'll do my best to achieve it, instructor. When can I start challenging for the rank?" Vicente stopped next to Miles, while the Healers went to deal with Bazel.

Miles shook his head as he smiled approvingly at Vicente. "You're going to accompany Enoch at the end of today's training and learn more about the challenges and the rank positions. I want you to train with us for another two weeks and then challenge someone to a ranked battle."

'So, I'll be able to fight in about a month in Anicane. That should stabilize my strength better... Anyway, that's according to my plans. I'll start doing my optional missions at that time too.' Vicente nodded to Miles and Enoch, a 6-Star Archmage level man with serpent eyes and tongue.

"Familiarize yourself with the rank and its rules. Watch some official fights when you're resting. Otherwise, continue with your studies. Your power is impressive, but there are several types of opponents who are your nemeses and will be difficult to deal with.

As soon as you show yourself, these opponents will want to challenge you and beat you easily." Miles advised, giving Vicente this important warning.

In Anicane, the magical forms were much better known than in Polaris Realm, which meant that specialists knew much more about the type of opponent that was ideal for them.

Considering the rules of the rankings and how easy victories could help to move up several positions in the rankings, many individuals followed the official fights to find easy opponents for themselves.

In the special case, nemesis opponents were those who had special powers that were in the weakness of a particular magician's power. Such opponents had many advantages over their opponents and could fight even with multi-star disadvantages and still have the greatest power.

Vicente had met no one like this in Polaris Realm, but within Stonewall there were nemeses of his powers!

Vicente stood next to Prisiche and the artificial intelligence of his companions, who differed totally from each other.

Some wore humanoid appearances similar to Prisiche's, looking like real living beings common in Anicane. But many of the artificial intelligences had peculiar appearances.

For example, Miles' artificial intelligence was the glove on his right hand. Meanwhile, Enoch's artificial intelligence was a small frog, sitting on the head of this individual with snake-like features.

This was rather curious, given Enoch's origins...

But Vicente wasn't there to judge anyone, nor did he want to be judged for using the appearance of a beautiful woman in his artificial intelligence.

He stood there, listening to comments, saying little, watching the group's battles that morning.

He wouldn't fight again today, but he would follow two other battles of his companions, individuals he would face over the next few weeks.

As long as he was under Miles' supervision, he would have to fight once a week against his colleagues, who were also supervised by Miles.

He would watch each fight taking mental notes, learning about his teammates' powers and also about the typical characteristics of Anicane fighters.

At the end of the training sessions, he would move on with Prisiche, Enoch and this guy's toad, going to learn more about the ranks of the Combat Center.
