Time passed quite quickly... not that Malik cared.
Days bled into each other, with him making subtle moves at every chance he had.
What mattered to him wasn't the curriculum, or the progress reports, or the expectations of the Chancellor.
He was here for one thing.
Revenge.
And yet, as days became weeks and weeks folded into months, he too started to learn.
Perks of being a professor here meant that he had access to what was otherwise priceless to the average Magi.
The Pathing of Abilities.
Especially the ones later along a Magi's path and those at least a rank above the basic Ability, an 'upgrade.'
He memorized all he could, building up the total of his Abilities to seven, which was an addition of two, as he previously had five.
That wasn't all; two of those seven abilities had a rank upgrade.
His fourth Ability, {Mirage Strike}, ranked up, becoming {Scorpion's Sting}.
It was much the same, an attack that confused, only now, it was poisonous and much stronger.
