In addition to the main Promotion Array, a suitable Spell is also needed as one's own empowerment, and the choice of this Spell must be made carefully.
From the materials obtained in the library of Franc Sith, Freya learned that most people choose defensive-type Spells as their constant Empowerment Spell when advancing to become a wizard. This choice ensures personal safety at all times and places, and defensive Spells offer the highest cost-effectiveness compared to other types.
Once an ordinary Spell becomes an Empowerment Spell, both its power and the mental energy required for casting are reduced to a certain level, and it can be cast instantaneously with just a thought.
Based on this characteristic, defensive Spells can continuously Collapse into a passive form, which is much better than other attack-type Spells or those that require active release.
Of course, some non-mainstream wizards or those with different ideas may choose to replace their Empowerment Spell upon advancement with other types, but such cases are extremely rare.
At least, Freya would not choose to do so.
"The Resource Point at Abyssal Lake is still being gradually conquered by the academy; I just don't know if there are materials needed for the Promotion Array inside, and I also need to purchase defensive Spells and enhance my mental power..." With this thought, Freya shook her head slightly.
Although there are many things to do, the only thing she can currently focus on is improving her mental power.
"That's fine; if my mental power doesn't meet the standard, having the other two won't be of much use even if I obtain them now. After all, mental power is the source of a wizard's strength, while everything else exists to enhance that power."
After a brief pause, Freya packed everything from the table into her suitcase and took out a special black Charcoal Pencil to begin drawing the Energy Gathering Array.
...
A week later.
Outside the corridor of the teacher's dormitory arranged by the villa.
'Crack'
The sound of the door opening revealed Freya, dressed in dark red Noble Attire, stepping out of the room. After a week of intense meditation, her once well-proportioned figure appeared somewhat frail, and her complexion had turned pale from lack of sunlight.
Her golden hair was half down, cascading down her back, with only a black ribbon tied at the ends. The casualness of her attire gave off a relaxed vibe that contrasted with her usual image.
Not paying much attention to her current appearance, Freya locked the door and infused it with a hint of energy before heading straight towards the villa's main entrance.
The combination of the Energy Gathering Array and a week of meditation had significantly boosted her mental strength, but she still fell short of the standards required for advancement. If it weren't for one of the materials in the array being depleted, Freya estimated she would need at least another two weeks to reach her goal.
The reason for her outing was precisely this.
‘Azure Neng Grass Powder is a magical herb powder that helps focus and calm the mind. Even in this resource-scarce place, there are other ordinary herbs with similar effects that can be used as substitutes. I know several…’
As Freya walked while deep in thought, she failed to notice two middle-aged men in Gray Robes approaching her from ahead.
Perhaps seeing Freya dressed casually and appearing young while being in the teacher's area made one of them frown slightly. With an obviously displeased expression, he questioned her.
“Hey, you there! Which class are you from? How did you get into this area without permission? Who is your instructor?”
The stern tone mixed with questioning caused Freya to pause momentarily, lifting her head and furrowing her brows slightly.
“Are you talking to me?”
“I certainly am…” The man intended to say more but noticed Freya's face seemed momentarily dazed as if she recalled something. His expression changed slightly.
“Ah, so it's Lady Freya… I apologize; I thought you were just some unruly student… I'm truly sorry.”
"It's okay." The sincere tone of apology made Freya wave her hand, passing through the two men and continuing forward.
Although she had been here for almost a month, she had often been busy with her own matters. Aside from simple teaching, she had hardly interacted with other apprentices, making such misunderstandings quite understandable.
The two middle-aged men themselves were only at the level of a First-Class Apprentice and could not sense Freya's energy aura.
However, as they watched Freya disappear down the corridor, it seemed they both let out a sigh of relief. The man who had questioned Freya earlier wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke to his companion with a hint of guilt.
"Did you notice her eyes? They looked like blue whirlpools... truly terrifying."
"Of course I saw them. This phenomenon is said to be an anomaly caused by exceptionally high mental power. Besides her, I've only seen it in Master Sara's eyes."
"By the way, isn't Bert saying that Lady Freya is a Third-Rank Apprentice? She's just one step away from becoming an Official Wizard... If I left a bad impression earlier..."
"Well... that shouldn't be the case. Lady Freya is likely at an elite level even in the academy headquarters. She probably wouldn't care about us who have no potential left."
"I hope so. Otherwise..."
...
Although Freya was unaware of the anxiety those two felt because of her, even if she knew, she likely wouldn't care.
At present, she was holding a map of Katia and walking towards the villa's exit.
According to the map, there was a large pharmacy specifically open to nobles not far from her current location, which likely had a comprehensive selection of medicinal materials.
However, just as she stepped out of the villa, a fleeting feeling of being watched washed over her.
She suddenly lifted her head and looked towards a patch of weeds beside the door.
But there was nothing there except for the tangled weeds and flying insects.
"Maybe it's just my imagination; after all, my recent meditation has been quite intense," Freya murmured to herself, seemingly about to turn away.
'Whoosh...'
Suddenly, a burst of Purple Flame erupted from the patch of weeds.
In an instant, a black crow flew out from the weeds with a piercing shriek, the Purple Flame clinging to its back, trailing a cloud of Black Smoke.
"There's definitely something wrong!"
Watching the crookedly flying crow, Freya quietly retracted her fingers hidden behind her back and transformed into a blur as she dashed out. (To be continued)
