yes that could be possible since the old man did mention he wanted a follower
Isn't it more like, "wow my underling is catching up with my skill too fast, i don't want that so I need to level up" kind of thing? That's just my interpretation tho
Well he did say that commoners have a barrier that they could never be able to conquer but when he saw the MC learning fast so he might think that the MC is a genius
Hmm... i agree that the oldman might think that MC is a genius, but i didn't see the indication of him trying to give the spellbook to MC. Or maybe I'm just missing things lol
Just started reading but do you think the old man who died trying to steal a spellbook was stealing it for the MC but failed?
