"Knock! Knock!"

Almost one hour after dinner someone again knocked on Max's room.

"It should be Lilly, right? After all, I asked her to come."

Max smiled and Called out "Come in!"

Doors opened but it wasn't Lilly who came inside but rather was Emily, his other sister.

Max was surprised to see her come to his room and even more than that at this time.

Max stared at her thoughtfully 'If I remember correctly, She has an aloof character and like to remain silent if it's nothing important. She has a grade four talent in magic which means she has the potential to become a four-star mage in future. That is why she is treated very importantly in the family. How come she came to visit a good for nothing like me?'

"Emily! How come you visit me at this time? do you need something?" Max let out a smile and asked.

"Hmph!" Emily coldly harrumphed.

Max was startled. What did he do to make her unhappy?

"Do I only need to visit you when I need something? Can't I visit my little brother without any reason?" Emily Pouted her lips cutely.

Max was stunned at this. Although it was reasonable for her to visit him without any reason but from what he heard from Lilly and saw her reaction at the dinner, he could easily conclude that his relationship was neither good nor bad. But her words and reaction just now suggested otherwise.

Emily was also a great beauty. She had a great figure, light golden hair, pale smooth skin and a cute face but her expressions always remained emotionless and cold, due to which nobody really wanted to approach her.

Max scratched his head and laughed awkwardly "Yes! Of course, you can Emily."

"Why are you standing come sit here." Max promptly asked her to sit.

Emily didn't say anything and sat on his bed beside him. After remaining silent for a while she asked him while looking in another direction "I was a little worried about your health. Although you seem fine you should recuperate well to not leave any hidden problem."

She then took a fist-sized golden fruit and handed it to Max.

"This is a golden vigour fruit. It can help you replenish some of your vitality." Emily explained.

"Thanks, Emily." Max nodded while his heart felt a sense of warmth. He didn't think that in this new family he would have many people who cared for him. In his previous life, although his father loved him very much sadly, he didn't have much time to show it as he was always busy with his work, even to the extent that he had to stay out of the city for weeks.

But here, his father, Anna, Lilly and Stone cold Emily, they all cared for him. He genuinely felt happy. He looked at Emily with affection in his eyes.

Emily who was staring at the ceiling became aware of his gaze and harrumphed "What are you staring at? Eat this golden fruit before sleeping. Hopefully, it'll help you replenish your vitality significantly. I'm going now." She stood up, ready to go.

Max who was in his thoughts suddenly called out "Emily wait for a second please."

"Mm? What is it?" Emily asked

"Can you tell me about magic and mages etc?" Max mumbled softly. He knew this question of his would cause some doubt to emerge in her mind and as he expected Emily frowned a little and asked

"Don't you know about it? What do you want to know?"

He already prepared an answer for this. Therefore he said "Well I know a little about it but as I only learned about it only in books so I want to ask you. After all, You are a student at a magic Academy. You should know more about it right!" He said in a low tone.

When Emily saw him a little down her gaze softened as she thought he was disheartened because of his low-grade talent thus he couldn't join any magic academy. She sighed.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know. Cheer up now. Will you?" She rebuked.

She then sat down and started telling him "As you know, Strength is everything in this world, status, wealth etc are only secondary and how strong can you become is decided by your talent grade in magic and your element. If your talent is good enough and your element is strong enough then there are many ways through which you can become stronger. For example, joining an academy. There are very powerful mages who work as professors and teach you about magic and many more things related to it.

As for mages, there are ranks specified ranks of them according to their total strength. Such as novice mage, one-star mage, two-star mage, three-star mage and so on. Our father is a three-star mage and is appointed Viscount by the royal family which is only because of his strength.

In the green leaf kingdom which is considered very powerful in this continent, you can become a baron if you are a two-star mage, Viscount if you are a three-star mage, Count if your four-star mage and so on. It said that the king is the only one who has become a seven-star mage. but it is not that easy to become a two-star, three-star mage, not to mention higher than that.

Only one in ten thousand can become a one-star mage. So you can imagine how difficult it is. Although a higher talent grade can help you become stronger but it is only a possibility. For example, as I possess fourth-grade talent in magic but it doesn't mean I can become a four-star mage with ease and similarly it doesn't mean that four-star mage is my limit. I can become more strong than a four-star mage but it is a very difficult task.

Until you become a four-star mage your lifespan is similar to a normal human's. After that, your life increases by many folds while retaining your youth. So if you ever go out and see someone who is not that old, don't assume he is weak, it might be that he is too strong for you to bear consequences if you happen to provoke him somehow..."

Following this, she explained to him many more things in more detail than Lilly did. It showed that she had a wide view of the world compared to Lilly. And it was natural as Lilly didn't practice magic or attends the academy.

Thinking this Max sighed. Although talent was very important but your status also determines your path. Fortunately, Max has a good status as the son of a viscount but unfortunately, his talent was not any good and his father had spent many recourses on him to awaken an element but did not succeed.

'How can it be? I have already awakened an element according to my system. Well, This is due to my reincarnation, I guess.' Max thought.

"Emily! What stage mage are you now and what is your element that you awakened?" Max asked her all of a sudden.
