Just as Jia Na was about to exchange for a Witchcraft with Black Cat Belle, suddenly, a line of small text on the magic crystal wall quickly caught Jia Na's attention.
【Notice to all grades: Professor Lilith-McGonagall has returned. Starting this afternoon, the Beginner Transformation course will resume.】
Looking at this news, Jia Na's mood instantly became excited.
"Lilith-Meg has actually returned? The outside world was spreading rumors that she was trapped in the lost secret realm and couldn't get out... It seems that was just a rumor."
Three months ago, due to the sudden disappearance of Professor Lilith-McGonagall, the scheduled Transformation Class was indefinitely suspended.
This was a huge blow to Jia Na, who had just exchanged 100 academic credits for the Beginner Transformation class, both emotionally and financially.
After all, in order to save up these 100 academic credits, Jia Na had worked almost non-stop on tasks for a month.
Even so, it was only because she had additionally completed several pollution Purification tasks for senior apprentices that she barely managed to accumulate enough academic credits.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Before the class even started, Jia Na received the news of Lilith-Meg's disappearance.
For Jia Na, who couldn't get a refund for her academic credits, this was nothing short of a scam!
"I knew it. How could a dignified First-Level Wizard do something like coveting an apprentice's academic credits... No matter how short of money the other party was, they wouldn't resort to fraud..."
Jia Na, beaming with joy, had even forgotten the heartache of emptying her savings to exchange for the Sound-type Witchcraft.
Now, she just wanted to rush back to the dormitory, quickly complete the study of the Sound-type Witchcraft, submit the system task, and then concentrate on preparing for the Transformation Class this afternoon.
"Lilith-Meg's Wizard strength is not to be underestimated, and she is also a well-known Deformation Art master. If I can learn Deformation Art under her guidance, my Wizard strength will greatly increase."
For Summoning-type Wizards like Jia Na, who heavily rely on Contract Summoning beasts, if the Summoning beasts are incapacitated, her own safety will fall into an extremely passive situation.
After all, Shadow-type apprentices can sneak in the shadows, Wind-type apprentices can fly in the air, and Space-type apprentices can even jump through space... As for escape skills, as a Plant-type which is more inclined towards healing and restraint, before Jia Na learns Body Elementalization, she cannot make her main body escape immediately in the first instant.
Therefore, Deformation Art, which has always been known for its strange and unpredictable nature and its proficiency in concealment and escape, is Jia Na's top choice for self-defense and escape at the moment.
"However, it is said that the practice of Deformation Art is extremely difficult, and even the introductory part alone has discouraged many Wizard Apprentices. Currently, within the entire White Coral Academy, there are only a handful of apprentices who can perform Local Deformation. Not to mention, Complete Transformation, which has a difficulty level that increases exponentially..."
Having made up her mind, Jia Na quickly took out the money bag from her inner pocket, carefully counted out forty-two jin sule, and placed them on the magic crystal wall.
"Miss Bei'er, I would like to apply to exchange for the Witchcraft 【Siren's Chant】."
"Hmm? So it's you, the polite apprentice."
Lazily sticking her butt up and stretching, the Black Cat Belle, who heard the voice, squinted her eyes. Upon seeing that it was Jia Na, she rarely straightened up and looked at Jia Na "from above."
"Let me tell you, at your level, the most taboo thing is biting off more than you can chew. Besides, as a Summoning-type apprentice, studying Sound-type Witchcraft will only yield half the results with twice the effort. It's better to focus on your Contract Summoning..."
Perhaps the silver fish jerky from last time had an effect. The Black Cat Belle, who usually couldn't be bothered with others, actually said a few more words to Jia Na today.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Bei'er. Exchanging for this Witchcraft is also because it has a high degree of compatibility with my own talent."
"【Siren's Chant】 requires the caster to have the 【Clever Singing Voice】 talent. As for you..."
Halfway through speaking, Black Cat Belle seemed to realize something, and her pair of small cat ears moved almost imperceptibly.
"Your voice talent is not bad, even better than 【Clever Singing Voice】 by a few points... But you must also remember, a First-Level apprentice should quickly raise their level instead of wasting a lot of energy learning Witchcraft."
With a flick of her black cat tail, a magic scroll made of cowhide paper floated out from the spatial crack behind her and landed in front of Jia Na.
"A total of forty academic credits. If you want to exchange with jin sule, it will be forty-two jin sule."
Quickly glancing at the jin sule on the magic crystal wall, and seeing that the quantity was correct, Black Cat Belle then urged the jin sule to fly into the spatial crack.
"Thank you, Miss Bei'er. I'll be going now."
"Go ahead."
Looking at the black cat that had returned to napping on the magic crystal wall, Jia Na tried her best to avoid making noise, stepping lightly, and slowly left the first-floor hall of the Magic Tower, which was still not very crowded in the early morning.
"It's still early. I'll go to the cafeteria for breakfast first, and then go back to the dormitory to study Witchcraft."
Besides the temporarily added Transformation Class this afternoon, Jia Na had no other classes today.
During the morning, in addition to studying Sound-type Witchcraft, Jia Na also planned to review the three pieces she learned from Liji-Xiaosi yesterday, to lay a good foundation and make full preparations for the interview next Saturday.
...
"Good morning, Miss Jia Na, have you had breakfast yet..."
"I've had it, Door Spirit."
Jia Na, who had just returned from breakfast at the cafeteria, gave the Door Spirit a perfunctory reply, opened the door directly, walked quickly into the dormitory, went to the chair next to the experimental table, and sat down.
"Exactly eight o'clock."
Glancing at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall and estimating the time in her heart, Jia Na carefully spread the magic scroll onto the experimental table. Then, she skillfully signed her name on the confidentiality contract with a quill pen. As the restriction was lifted, the content about the 【Siren's Chant】 Witchcraft appeared before Jia Na.
"Siren's Song is the process of simulating ultra-high frequency and soul resonance using singing voice, then invading the will with a beautiful melody, constructing a charm magnetic field, and infecting mental fluctuations. This is the core of the Witchcraft..."
The sounds of all things in the world are defined differently because of their different pitch hertz.
Hertz frequencies that match the reception of biological souls are more likely to cause spiritual resonance. Conversely, they are judged as noise, which not only fails to have the effect of confusing the mind but also backfires, making the caster listen more and more alert.
"The siren's melody imitates the waves of the sea. The characteristic is that it must fit the situation. If the caster can adjust the hertz frequency according to the environment they are in, it will be more convenient to drag the caster into the melody illusion..."
Compared to the length of the 【Low-Level Elf Summoning Ritual】, the analysis content of 【Siren's Chant】 is much less. It only took a little over an hour for Jia Na to memorize all the essential elements of the Witchcraft from the magic scroll.
"In this scroll, there is relatively little content involving principle analysis. Most of it, on the contrary, is magic notes that need to be memorized by rote..."
