"As for magic..."

The knowledge about magic that Morin could teach Bruce, if you really wanted to talk about it, was a lot.

However, to learn magic, you have to be able to sense the presence of magic, and there has to be mana in the natural world... Otherwise, if you can't recover your mana, you'd just be learning nothing but air, right?

Fortunately, Morin had already confirmed this. The method was very simple.

He himself could sense the mana energy floating in the air, and after casting a spell, he would naturally absorb that energy from the outside environment to restore his mana.

After that, it was naturally a matter of letting Bruce sense the mana. If he could, it meant that Bruce had the aptitude.

As for the teaching method...

Given that Bruce was a man, Morin naturally couldn't teach him how to sense mana by holding his hand.

So...

"What is this?" Bruce looked at the USB drive that Morin handed him, and his eyelids twitched. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This contains the basic knowledge of magic and the methods for sensing magic for the first time. They are all things I've summarized. You can take it back and read it first. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. After you've finished learning, we can start doing practice problems." Morin said, throwing a broken keyboard into the trash can.

Morin's body wasn't just powerful; it was fast, which included typing.

Although the basic knowledge of magic was a lot and required a lot of text to explain in a way that could be understood, with Morin's typing speed...

The only thing he had to worry about was whether the keyboard could react fast enough.

"Is this all of it?" Bruce plugged the USB drive into his computer and looked at the files on it, feeling a headache coming on.

This is too much!

Bruce couldn't imagine how long it would take him to read all of it.

"This is a necessary part of the learning process!" Morin was very serious, stating that learning magic was absolutely not a game, so it needed to be taken seriously, and it was only right to pay a price.

"Okay..." Bruce looked a little miserable.

Before his miserable expression could disappear, Morin's next words made his eyes widen.

"Okay, after you've read and understood all of this, we can start doing practice problems!" Morin nodded with satisfaction.

"Practice problems?!" Bruce was shocked.

"Of course. It's useless to just talk without practice!"

"Shouldn't the practice be to do it directly?"

"Are you sure you can guarantee that you won't make a mistake from the very beginning? It's a very dangerous thing to draw mana from inside your body!" One sentence from Morin left Bruce speechless.

"Did you learn it this way too?" Bruce held it in for a moment and asked.

"Of course," Morin said, answering without blushing. "And I only took one month, and I also organized all those books. That's why I have this information for you now!"

That was not the reality, of course... The only difference was that Morin didn't start with this kind of Traditional-style education. He started with the system.

"Then..." Bruce didn't know if what Morin said was true, so he changed the subject and asked, "If I learn all of this, will I be able to reach your level?"

"Are you saying..." Morin looked at Bruce.

"The stealth and other techniques you taught me are indeed much stronger than what I learned from the League of Assassins, but they are still nowhere near the level you demonstrated. In fact, they're far from it," Bruce said. "Is that gap because of this?"

"If you really want to talk about it... it's close," Morin nodded. "If you can really learn what I've given you, you'll gain unimaginable power."

"Then, what is your intention in teaching this to me?" Bruce asked. "I don't think this is worth only ten million."

Bruce had originally thought that getting Morin's guidance for ten million was worth it. But when Morin said he was going to teach him magic, Bruce suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It's too good a deal. It feels like I'm taking advantage of him?

Either Morin had some hidden agenda, but Bruce thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

So, Bruce decided to just ask directly.

"I was originally just going to teach you stealth and backstabbing. The value of those two techniques is about ten million," Morin said. "Now, I'm teaching you magic because I had a sudden idea."

"Of course, if you're willing to add more to the reward, I'd be even happier," Morin added at the end.

Bruce: "..."

I thought you were going to say that it was just a sudden idea, so you wouldn't charge me!

So, you still want money, huh?

If he just wanted money, then it was easy!

As a man with money powers, Bruce naturally wouldn't be stingy with his money, especially when this money could really bring him a lot of benefits.

So he narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm willing to add more to the reward. If I learn magic, let's see... Wayne Enterprises is about to go public... how about ten percent of the original shares of Wayne Enterprises, the kind that can't be diluted?"

"That's a very generous reward..." Morin's eyes lit up. "I accept! Just remember to give it to me in the same way as the ten million!"

Ten percent of Wayne Enterprises' shares!

That's Wayne Enterprises!

If that was actually converted into experience points...

I might have my first profession that's higher than advanced!

"Then... is there an easier way?" Bruce had a sudden idea.

Since I've paid for it, it's only right that I get better treatment, right?

"Of course. The USB drive I gave you contains the basic knowledge of magic," Morin said happily, seeing that a lot of money was coming in, and he waved his hand. "I won't take it back now. In addition, I will personally teach you the techniques of magic!"

What does it matter that he's a man?

As long as the money is enough, it doesn't matter if they're not human... well, that's what I meant!

Morin said that to improve his own strength, it was completely okay to sacrifice a little bit!

...

"Just like this?" Bruce sat on the chair, feeling that something wasn't right.

"That's right, just like this," Morin nodded.

"Isn't this... a little too informal?" Bruce asked.

Just a moment ago, after the deal was made, Bruce had planned to leave, but Morin stopped him, saying that there was no time like the present, and he was going to teach him today and so on.

Feeling the change before and after, even Bruce, who was used to using his money powers, was speechless.

Money powers are indeed useful!

I should have just thrown the money at him and used my money powers. I thought that someone with Morin's power level might not be interested in money, but now it seems that besides the fact that his method of asking for money was a little subtle, and the method of payment was a little strange, he's no different from anyone else!

It's just that this teaching method...

"You just sit there," Morin, the master of transferring skills, said.

"I'll use my back to send mana into your body and guide you to feel that power... This method is the fastest way for you to sense the presence of mana. If you have the aptitude for mana, you'll definitely be able to learn it successfully!"

Since Bruce was a man, he naturally didn't need to take off his clothes. He just sat on the chair with his back to Morin.

It was no wonder Bruce said that it was too informal... just looking at it like this, it did seem a little hasty.

But for Morin, as long as it worked, that was enough. Even if they had a big ceremony or a master-disciple ritual, wouldn't the teaching method still be the same?

Under Morin's guidance, mana slowly flowed into Bruce's body.

Bruce remembered what Morin had told him before and began to earnestly feel that energy.

...

Earle was sitting in his office, his expression solemn.

Yesterday, his assistant told him that he might have found something.

There was an extra container in Falcone's cargo, and it was very likely the missing Wayne Enterprises weapon!

However, after the assistant went to investigate, he never came back...

Earle guessed the assistant's fate. In Gotham, such sudden disappearances were very common.

But, such disappearances usually happened to people with low status and no power. Now, this disappearance had happened to the assistant of the CEO of Wayne Enterprises!

This was a blatant provocation!

But the problem was that Earle really had no way to respond to this provocation!

He had ordered his assistant to hide the fact that the weapon was missing, and the assistant had done a good job.

But because of this, he couldn't reveal this matter now. Otherwise, not only would all his previous efforts be in vain, he might also be punished!

Before Wayne Enterprises went public, and before his plan to devour Wayne Enterprises' shares had officially begun, Earle was just a CEO. If Bruce wanted to, he could replace him at any time!

In Earle's view, he had just barely managed to fool Bruce. After the IPO, he would be able to start his plan to seize power.

How could he let the matter of the missing weapon be exposed and affect his plan?

So, Earle had people handle the assistant's disappearance. The report was falsified to say that he was "fired for a lack of a serious work attitude," and it was filed away.

He pretended to have no knowledge of the assistant's disappearance.

After that, Earle went to find Fox in the Applied Sciences Division!

Earle arrived at the Applied Sciences Division.

As expected, in the large warehouse, there was only Fox.

This was Earle's doing. He had first transferred Fox here, and then he had transferred all the other employees of the Applied Sciences Division, decentralizing power, and turning Fox into a manager with a title but no real power, so he couldn't oppose him.
