Leaving

Leo looked at the tree in his mind with a little pity. The tree was now taller than him by half a meter. It used to have two bright flowers adorning it, but one of them was missing. 

He had used the flower just a day before. He didn't regret using it though. It helped him finally break through to the Late-Stage of the 3rd Star. It was so potent that he had been able to come a lot closer to the Peak-Stage than he had expected. 

In less than a month, he would become a Peak-Stage 3rd Star Mage. He smiled at this thought before taking a leaf from the tree. Even though he had achieved some success in his training, it didn't give him an excuse to stop. He went back to training.

Another month passed by and he finally reached the Peak-Stage of the 3rd Star. He would no longer be able to train like normal since he couldn't break through inside the academy.
