Shouldn't he just learn it and then return it now?? Why wait till all of them learn it?? Or just accelerate the process sir.... and the growth seems perfect to train the spirit magic as it will consume less crystals then probably...
@mahtan: You probably already know by now (8 months later, I mean, really: what a delayed response right? lol), but he was so focused on Red Magic during his obsessive pursuit of power because he originally thought that's where his talent was. Come to find out he was just pretty good at it, but he wasn't potentially the greatest after all. That's why he's set on mastering ALL magic this time around and not just certain magic.
@TwilightFaze
Not that, he should know a lot of powerful red magic from his previous life and should be able to deal with any problem that falls over the scope of training the other elements using the powerfull magic he already knows instead of not using it when needed.
I get that being able to overcome with the in-training magic would greatly improve it but when it is "I screwed up and we gonna die if I don't do something right now!" the use of the super tier red magic that he already mastered should be the first thing to do...
@mahtan: Yeah I thought that at first too, but if you think back to Chapter 1, it was only powerful in his mind and they were all about mid-tier at best. It's the reason the association stripped him of his title. Hence the low numbers in Spirit Scope too. If you look at Milly's numbers, she has the ability to learn more and even more powerful Red spells than he ever did at his peak. Also he tried using his high end spells when he skipped class, but his body couldn't take it (low mana). Plus it turns out his true potential is using Spirit magic, so if anything, that mindset will shift to using Ein and leveling her up, not his Red spells.
@TwilightFaze
Fair enough, tough his red spells were powerful enough to fight the monsters they are fighting now with easy and he was the most powerful red mage even after the scope and having lost his title as he lost the title to someone that had the "possibility" to be better than him and not someone that was better than him.
But I get it. Thnx!
"We've found you, criminal scum. Return that scroll!"
"I did."
"... T-to whom?"
"That kid you let go a few chapters back."
"Shah, we've been had! All apologies, we're off now to find the real criminal scum."
"Astral body"? "True self"? His true self is a kid with memories from his previous incarnation. That previous incarnation is gone. That timeline is gone. He remembers it, but he isn't that person now.
Whether it is isekai stories or time-travel, I'm so damned sick of reincarnators acting like they're just playing out a continuation of their previous incarnation. It is just badly written dross.
Kids should just accept they're kids and deal with it.
