Chapter 9: Arcanist Class Change and Blue Bomb Spell
[Your proficiency with single-handed swords has advanced to beginner level]
[Beginner Single-Handed Sword Control: You now have a basic understanding of the single-handed sword, slightly increasing the power of your attacks when using a single-handed sword.]
William observed the new entry for single-handed sword control under his Interdiate Staff Control. Reaching the beginner or interdiate proficiency level for any weapon was relatively easy, but advancing further beca significantly harder.
For instance, despite practicing spells and using the staff for many years, his predecessor's staff proficiency was still at an interdiate level, just shy of advanced. It was unclear when he would be able to break through.
William also realized that although his weapon proficiency increased under Welf's guidance, similar to how one could instantly learn skills from NPCs in gas, his proficiency grew much faster when he dedicated himself to learning.
After all, this was a real world, and his system differed slightly from in-ga chanics.
The knowledge and power he possessed were not rely ga data but genuinely existed within his mind and body.
This was far more enjoyable than grinding in a ga!
Despite Welf and the others being very careful, injuries were inevitable during training. However, feeling his strength increase, William was not discouraged and fully imrsed himself in the training process.
The following days were fulfilling for William. During the day, he learned various weapon techniques and skills with Welf and the guards on Bell Street. At night, he continued his "bang, bang, bang" arcane exploration in the mansion's basent. His only leisure ti involved occasional massages from the young maid Rosie for relaxation.
Don't get any weird ideas—it was all very proper!

The Sixth Day of Training
Cain Family Mansion, Underground Laboratory.
William, his face sared with soot, used a Gust spell to disperse the smoke from yet another failed experint, but his expression was far from discouraged.
"I was too impatient. The essence of fire elents is explosive and restless; too stable a combination of magic runes actually diminishes the power of the Fireball spell. However, this ti's elental model seed sowhat compatible with my magic."
After pondering for a mont, William adjusted the architecture of the elental model he had previously constructed using the nearby Magic Rune Recorder.
"Let's try this, adjusting the angle of the third long rune in relation to the keystone rune and see the effect."
He opened the arcane subsystem and carefully modified the Fireball spell's elental model once more.
Taking a deep breath, William prepared for success or failure in this attempt.
As he infused magic into what felt like the umpteenth version of the Fireball spell's elental model
Suddenly, a wonderful sensation enveloped him.
It was as if the brightly glowing elental model floating before his eyes had beco a part of his own body.
The magic flowing within him seed to resonate with the newly constructed elental model, continuously rging into it.
The elental model, now fully powered, floated serenely before William. Before he could study it closely, it began to glow, spin, and finally transford into a fist-sized pale blue fireball in front of him.
Observing the fireball in his hands, William examined it from all angles, feeling assured that he had fully mastered this fireball—it wouldn't explode unexpectedly like before.
After examining it thoroughly, William turned his attention back to the system panel.
As he successfully conjured the fireball, a series of system ssages popped up in the bottom left corner of his vision, which he hadn't yet had a chance to read.

After much deliberation, given that the final form was a blue fireball, he decided to na it—
Blue Bomb!
William, who has always struggled with naming, decided to call his first arcane spell "Blue Bomb," feeling as if shadows danced before his eyes.
Shaking his head, William then looked at the prompt for the Arcanist class change.
Unlike so specialized classes, the Arcanist class change does not require a special ceremony; eting the requirents is enough for an on-the-spot promotion.
As for whether to change classes to an Arcanist? Obviously, why else would he have gone through the "arduous" process to obtain the Arcane Thinking feat? William decisively chose Yes.
[You have chosen to class change to Arcanist]
[Class changing... Class change successful]
[Your primary class Mage has been promoted to Arcanist]
[You have achieved a new milestone The First Step of the Strong (Silver Rank)]
[You have gained a new feat Tier Suppression]
William felt a sudden clarity in his mind, as if his thought processes had sped up and he had gained a new understanding of various elental models and their properties.
Shaking his head, William checked his attribute panel.

William reviewed his gains over the past few days, feeling very fulfilled.
The Tier Suppression Specialty and The First Step of the Strong milestone were inevitable upon advancing to a higher-tier profession, and their effects were quite satisfactory.
Tier Suppression is essentially a weed-whacker, giving higher damage bonuses against opponents of lower tiers.
The First Step of the Strong is self-explanatory, as most milestones directly add to free attribute points.
He also secretly learned several martial skills from the guards through his Jack Of All Trades talent, adding to his gains.
William felt content with his progress and decided to reward himself with an early rest for the day.
The looming sense of doom had always given William a deep sense of crisis, only alleviating slightly whenever he made progress in his abilities.
Hoping to eventually escape his fated demise~ Lying in bed, William sighed lightly and closed his eyes, entering a state of ditation.
