19 Magic Puzzle (3)
It's been 3 months since we received the puzzle and one more month before we start to attend school. We are right now 8 years old, the age when children go to school.
[Friday, 11 March 3023]
Looking at the calendar, me and Laila frowned.
Starting to get annoyed, Laila gaze turn to me
"8 more months before the time master said" (Laila)
"I don't think we could open all the seals" (Ray)
"Yeah... we can't even open the first one until we reach at least <A> rank" (Laila)
While doing the puzzle in the past 3 months, they have found out more information about the complicated seals.
The seal is layered with a total of 5 seals, every time we open a seal we will get an artifact or some sort.
To see the first seal content, we literally need to place a special piece of grass on top of the magic paper. The type of grass we used is an elven spirit grass.
This type of grass could only be found in mountains with SS rank mana density on the continent of elf
Doing so will reveal instructions on what to do to open the first seal.
So to open the first seal, we need to inject mana to the elven spirit grass and extract the mana that the grass emitted into the magic circle, and we need to do it for 10000 minutes or 7 days without rest.
If you're asking how we know the time requirement, it is because of this sentence 'look at the paper for minutes around the years it tooks a high elf dies of old age' meaning we just need to change the lifespan of a high elf from year to minutes.
Basically a high elf lifespan is 10000 years, so following the hint means 10000 minutes and that's around 7 days.
Right now they are unable to open the seal because of <One Mind> mental burden causing them to use more mana as they become more exhausted.
Only when they reach A- Rank would they have the mana required to maintain the unsealing process.
"But to reach A- rank we need to do 'that' right?" (Laila)
"That's correct, but we should take our time before doing it, we can't rush ascending rank or it will cause more problems later" (Ray)
"We should worry about reaching the level cap first before even thinking of doing 'that'" (Laila)
In the game, to increase your level cap you need to ascend your rank.
After finishing the tutorial you will have a level cap at level 80, to ascend you need to absorb a high amount of mana/vitality to increase your body limit.
-Note: vitality is absorb to increase aura and body strength
Basically you need to be in a place with high mana/vitality density to ascend. In the game some high level guild created lots of mana rooms and vitality rooms to help their members ascend, the amount they absorb will depend on their skills and controls.
This was also a type of measurement of the player's talent. Back at the game I ascended with 632% efficiency while Laila with 621% the 1st and 2nd highest in the game.
The more efficiency they reach the higher the mana/aura quality they recieve, the density of energy absorbed also contribute to the ascension measurement. At the game I absorbed A rank energy quality to reach that number. This was also the case for Laila.
The higher the energy is ranked, the higher the maximum amount of energy you could fit in your body, the higher the rank the harder to control.
==================================================
Note:
To better understand this explanation I will write a simple concept
You are playing tetris, the lower difficulty one will be slower while the harder one will be faster. But playing the harder one will give you more score than playing the easier one. how much can be arranged without breaking depends on our control and skills.
===================================================
100% G rank = 50% F rank
100% F rank = 50% E rank
100% E rank = 50% D rank
100% D rank = 50% C rank
100% C rank = 50% B rank
100% B rank = 50% A rank
100% A rank = 10% S rank
100% S rank = 10% SS rank
100% SS rank = 10% SSS rank
Note: There is no <+> and <-> thing or sub rank on energy quality.
"What energy rank are we going to use when ascending?" (Laila)
"Did you forget about the dungeon competition price?" (Ray)
"Are you seriously going to use that?" (Laila)
"Of course we are, my skills is far better then back at AO" (Ray)
"I see.... I will break your record this time" (Laila)
"Dream on!" (Ray)
"but we should cap our level first" (Laila)
"Agreed, we should spar with each other for the remaining months. It would be best if we reach A- before going to school" (Ray)
While they were preparing to go to the training hall, they remembered a minor problem
"By the way, how are we going to disguise ourselves?" (Laila)
"Ah shit, I completely forgot about that... Let's figure that out for another time" (Ray)

'Synchronize level seems to increase by a lot, I guess the puzzle helps increase it as we use it all the time when reading the it's magic circle. There is also a new skill that lets us switch bodies, I don't think Laila will want to use it.' (Ray)
While pondering on how to convince Laila to use the skill, he realizes that they would eventually use it anyway so there is no use thinking about it now.
'Let's just focus on leveling 15 times before school start' (Ray)
