Book 3: Chapter 285: The Silhouette Shrouded in Halo

Phew, finally done, isn't it?

After the advancement was completed, Sylutia slowly opened her eyes and then stood up.

The thought of using "Levitation" surfaced in her mind, and her body naturally floated up, gently drifting in the air. As her consciousness and thoughts turned, the books in the room also rose into the air, revolving around her as she watched, then opening.

Countless pages flipped rapidly, and the information within could be seen and collected without using her eyes, then quickly memorized in her mind.

After reaching the higher tiers, "Secret Word's" ability to acquire and memorize knowledge and information had received another new improvement.

Next was the advantage brought by "Luminous Moon." Her thinking was exceptionally clear. Difficult math problems that previously took one to two minutes to calculate could now yield results in half a minute. This was the result of the interaction between "Luminous Moon" and "Secret Word."

Then there was Mental Power and "Spirituality." With the support of "Luminous Moon," Sylutia felt that her Mental Power had ascended to a new level. She suspected that many Sixth Tier master-level figures probably couldn't match her now.

As for "Spirituality," it was the perception of subtle, unknowable domains. For example, "specters," "curses," "monsters," and other things invisible to ordinary people - she could always sense them a step ahead of others.

Stacking the advantages of both "Secret Word" and "Luminous Moon" together, applied to archaeology and researching lost historical secrets, gave her an unimaginable edge. Now Sylutia also understood why the "Origin Hourglass" could gradually piece together and reconstruct those secret arts and histories that had been lost for thousands of years, bit by bit.

This allowed the "Origin Hourglass" school to possess the largest reserve of knowledge and history among the Mage Alliance. The Central Grand Library system was also maintained by them, and some branches that delved deeply into specific fields even developed into brand new schools, such as the "Bionics School."

After organizing the thoughts in her mind, Sylutia slowly descended and stood in the middle of the Ritual Magic Array. Looking at the somewhat messy room, she had a thought, and the items in the room began to automatically return to their places and tidy themselves up, then became fresh and new.

How convenient. Many low-tier spells no longer needed to occupy precious card slots on the "Ability Card." She could even free up several slots to load other auxiliary abilities.

No wonder the instructors had once said that although the "Spell Frontispiece" and "Spell Forge" differed in the early stages, in the later stages, they converged to the same destination.

At First and Second Tier, mages were incredibly weak, only able to cast 1-2 limited spells. At Third and Fourth Tier, they began to use the "Spell Frontispiece" and "Spell Forge" to cast specific spells, barely holding their own in combat against other professions of the same tier. But upon reaching Fifth Tier, everything finally opened up, no longer constrained. As long as various spells were mastered, they could be cast, targeting enemies through various methods and means. It was only then that they began to gain the upper hand against professions of the same tier.

However, in terms of spell power amplification, they would still be weaker than wizards of the same tier. This was the classic case of not being able to have both the fish and the bear's paw.

As for her current spellcasting, if it was an ordinary low-tier spell, she could receive the boost from the 【Spell Mastery Lv.5】 attached to her Fate Card, gaining the effect of "Spell Power +4, Response Speed +4." But if it was a spell related to "Knowledge," "Star Palace," "Time," "Lost," "Moon," "Time" - those kinds of spells - she could gain an additional +5 effect, combining to +9 overall.

If she were a witch of the same caliber as herself, after stepping into Fifth Tier, the power of the profession-exclusive witchcraft she cast should be +9 or higher, becoming even more perilous and bizarre.

After completing the experiment and tidying up the room, Sylutia walked down the stairs and looked at the sky outside. It was around three in the afternoon.

Let's go report the situation. Sylutia thought to herself, and then her body floated up, suddenly transforming into a silver meteor, passing through the low altitude of the academy and arriving before that dusty, sealed grand library.

Entering it, Sylutia didn't take the stairs this time. Instead, she looked at the spiraling staircase above and that glimmer of light at the very top, then her figure floated up. Silver Wings materialized, carrying her rapidly upward, passing through the invisible barriers, effortlessly weaving around those subtle, invisible prohibition spells one after another, finally reaching the floor where Amelie was.

At this moment, the blue-haired girl was sitting on the library floor flipping through those ancient tomes around her. She seemed to sense the subtle sound of wind, then looked up.

Amelie's eyes slightly narrowed as she watched this figure descending rapidly against the light.

Silver hair strands drifted in the air, flowing and radiant. Those wings beat heavily, and the feathers that fell from them shimmered with a faint halo, scattering like specks of starlight. Her snow-white skirt fluttered, revealing those fair, moving legs, her delicate ankles, and the tips of her shoes, before she landed heavily on the ground, stepping onto the wooden floor.

"Melia..." There was a hint of disbelief in Hedra's voice.

She wasn't surprised by Sylutia's advancement, but she was surprised by this appearance and form. Even though the two weren't meeting for the first time, she was still impacted by it.

"It's me, you know." Sylutia blinked her eyes, knowing that Hedra was seeing her silver-haired form for the first time.

"Because I just completed my advancement and I'm very happy, so I wanted to tell you."

Simple, plain words fell into Hedra's heart. The ravines formed by worries, unease, and sadness about their impending separation were filled in that instant, leaving behind nothing but pure peace of mind.

Hedra stood up, looking into the eyes of the silver-haired girl across from her. Just by meeting her gaze, it seemed like a thousand words could be spoken. She took a deep breath to suppress the surging, too-agitated emotions in her heart, then opened her eyes and nodded, congratulating Sylutia.
