In the courtyard of the El-Melloi Mansion, Waver and Roy were taking a walk while chatting.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a week had already passed since he arrived at Kayneth's manor.
Since that day, the group of lords and high-ranking officials at the Clock Tower had immediately sealed off the area, waiting for him for a full three days.
In the end, they realized that Zelretch might have transported him elsewhere, which was why they lifted the seal and left.
During this period, to avoid any unnecessary troubles affecting his study progress, Roy, as per Kayneth's arrangement, did not continue to go to the Clock Tower for further studies, nor did he appear within the bounds of London. Instead, he spent most of his time studying magecraft in the great library of the El-Melloi school.
With his almost fatigue-free body, Roy was able to learn as much knowledge as possible in the limited time available. Coupled with the soul's absolute compatibility with magecraft, his learning speed could be said to be extraordinarily rapid.
Therefore, seeing Roy study for no less than ten hours a day without interruption, Waver felt as though he were seeing a ghost. Especially when he noticed that Roy's health and complexion remained unchanged under such circumstances, he couldn't help but express his admiration, saying, "Your stomach is really strong."
During this period of self-study, Roy indeed encountered difficulties. However, the most surprising thing was that his greatest obstacle to progress was language.
The Grand Library not only provided magical books in English but also offered a collection of magical books in foreign and ancient languages that he struggled to understand at the moment.
Fortunately, Jubstacheit from the Einzbern family, aware of the issues he was facing, quickly sent a homunculus to translate the material into a language he could comprehend overnight.
But even with the help of the homunculus sent by Jubstacheit, it did not resolve his current problems because the translated magical books contained many vocabularies and terms that could only be understood by magus. If it weren't for Waver, a theoretical genius, who assisted him in translating and explaining, Roy might have been stuck there.
In Fuyuki City, the magus followed local customs, using Japanese to communicate with one another. However, in London, no one spoke Japanese.
This wasn't an anime world where the entire universe used a single language.
So, during this week, aside from the necessary sleep and rest, Roy spent all his time reviewing other ancient languages and studying and expanding his magecraft knowledge.
This fulfilling schedule brought back memories of his busy days preparing for exams in high school.
In fact, with the Third Magic as the core, and after transforming, Roy had long transcended human limitations; even his rest and sleep were merely rules he imposed on himself.
He hadn't felt the so-called fatigue and hunger in a long time; the life force and magical power flowing and continuing to generate within him felt almost endless. Fatigue, hunger, and all kinds of negative sensations had long been unrelated to this perfect body. He had already become a special being that transcended humanity, akin to those True Ancestors.
Whether this change was good or bad for him, Roy was uncertain.
However, he worried that if he continued to live in this state for a long time, gradually adapting and fading away, he would detach from humanity, becoming no longer himself, with both his soul and body turning into an immortal beings like those True Ancestors.
