First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 158

Her logic was sound, Orion realized. With renewed resolve, he shifted his approach, focusing purely on minimizing the spellcasting time. Taking a calming breath, he visualized the spell clearly, urging his mana to respond even faster.

"[Fireball]."

This time, the sphere formed noticeably quicker, materializing almost instantly before his palm. Orion felt a small thrill of accomplishment, releasing it swiftly toward the target dummy, satisfied with the seamless fluidity of his movements.

Again and again, Orion repeated the process, each casting becoming incrementally faster, smoother, and more natural.

After the eighth casting, he paused, 'How many times can a normal mage cast the Fireball spell at Tier 1?'

[Hmm, from what we learned in the classes, a typical mage can cast anywhere from 3–5 spells of their own level, while geniuses can cast 8–10 times.]

'Heh, should I test my limits today?' he said with an excited smile on his face.

[(☆ω☆)]

He took a deep breath and prepared himself to reach his limits. His mana channels hummed with surging mana, responding swiftly and precisely to his intent.

He cast the spell again, and within 1.5 seconds, the spell finished materializing in front of him as he shot it out.

The average time of spellcasting for a mage averaged around 2–3 seconds, while geniuses tend to do it much faster—but that was for the spells they engrave in their SoC.

The other type was when they draw the magic circle outside using mana—that usually took much longer for others, typically ranging from 10 to 15 seconds.

After nearly an hour of relentless practice, Orion paused, breathing heavily, "Haa… haaa… fuck this… I've used the damn spell nearly a hundred times and I don't see my SoC exhausting anytime soon."

[Hehe, but at least now you can cast the spell within a second. That's already a great improvement.]

He exhaled a long breath and stood up straight, staring at the wooden dummy which had been scorched black from the relentless [Fireball] spell.

'This is enough for today,' Orion thought, looking at the darkened sky as he reflected on the day's numerous accomplishments.

Sparring with Sylvia, recruiting club members, improving swordsmanship with Edgar, and perfecting rapid spellcasting—it had truly been a fruitful day.

[You're amazing, Master! Every day, you're becoming even more awesome! (≧◡≦)]

He chuckled softly at Lumi's enthusiasm. 'Haha, your cheering certainly makes training easier.'

Satisfied, Orion turned and calmly headed back toward the mansion, leaving the scorched training dummy behind. His body now yearned for relaxation, his muscles tired from the intensive sword practice and spell training.

As he stepped inside, the mansion's warm interior welcomed him instantly, illuminated by softly glowing crystal lamps along the elegant hallway. Approaching his room, Orion found Rina and Fiora patiently waiting, both maids greeting him warmly.

"Welcome back, Master!" Rina's cheerful voice chimed gently, eyes brightening happily. "We prepared your bath, as usual."

Fiora shyly nodded beside her, holding out a soft, neatly folded towel. "I-It's a special h-herbal bath, M-Master. It'll help s-soothe your muscles from today's i-intense training."
