In the ordinary apprentice dormitory of Aelgreen Wizard Academy, under the pitch-black night sky, the room was dimly lit, revealing numerous books scattered across the floor and table. The air carried a faint scent of ink.
In the center of the room was a silver circular magic circle, with a scale shape at its center. The Magic Stone in the middle had turned transparent, seemingly depleted, while a ring of seedlings, already half a meter tall, grew around the circle.
Aside from the multitude of books, there was also a standalone weapon rack, with an ordinary Cross Sword inserted in the middle. The hilt showed signs of wear, indicating it was frequently used.
On the bed lay a girl curled up in her blanket, sound asleep. Her golden hair covered most of her face, but one could still make out her delicate features. In her slumber, she exuded a sense of tranquility; however, the Ice Blue Earrings by her ear added a hint of coldness to her serene expression, making it somewhat peculiar.
This girl was Freya, one month after returning to the academy.
As time passed, the faint morning light gradually dispelled the dark night.
Freya, who had been curled up in sleep, slowly straightened her body. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the Crystal Clock on her bedside before sitting up.
Her loose white silk pajamas could no longer conceal her increasingly mature figure. With age, her body was nearing its final shape. Although she had not yet turned eighteen, compared to some other girls, Freya's growth cycle was considered slow.
In this world, some particularly precocious girls appeared almost like fully grown women by fifteen or sixteen years old; without disclosing their age, one could hardly tell them apart.
In contrast to this, Freya could be considered 'late-blooming.'
After a simple wash and breakfast, Freya walked over to her desk.
She cleared away a pile of Basic Knowledge books and placed three Black Cover Spell Models on top.
Over the course of a month, she had completely resolved any lingering side effects from her previous experiences. As for her choice of Spell Models, she ultimately settled on three options.
The first was the initially selected Trollus' Wind Barrier, while the other two were subsequently purchased Spell Models.
One was Plant Energy: Vine Entwining. This Defensive Spell was passively triggered; once attacked, it would automatically generate vines on the surface of her body to protect against further attacks or provide defense. In addition to this ability, it also had a slight healing function that could be used independently.
However, this Spell's weakness was its extreme vulnerability to Fire Element Spells. This was a common trait among Plant Energy spells, but this particular Spell was even more susceptible to such weaknesses.
One of the books is a Wind Element Spell called Aegis Acceleration Spell: it passively increases one's movement speed and attack speed by forty percent, and can also enhance the casting of spells by about ten percent. However, it has no defensive capabilities, making it a typical escape or offensive spell.
These three Spell Models were specifically selected because Freya intends to integrate her knowledge to create the most suitable Empowerment Spell for herself.
Her most compatible attributes were originally Wind Element and Fire Element, but after that incident, her affinity for Plant Energy increased due to external factors, while her affinity for Fire Element was forced down.
Even with her physical abilities balanced, this change did not alter her situation.
Affinity affects the Casting Speed and power of spells significantly. Therefore, she ultimately had to give up on Fire Element.
Gently stroking the three Spell Model books, Freya slightly pursed her lips.
Optimizing a First-Level Spell Model is much more difficult than a Zero-Level Spell, especially since she needs to integrate one that is best suited for her.
The amount of knowledge required for this is certainly vast. Even with her special brain capacity, it would be impossible to integrate everything in a short time.
Moreover, even if she manages to create a new Spell Model, it will require constant experimentation and gradual adjustments.
The total mental energy of a Third-Rank Apprentice is already sufficient for the consumption of a First-Level Spell. What the newly promoted Official Wizards lack compared to Third-Rank Apprentices is merely a qualitative change—a rise in life level.
"Integrating everything cannot be completed in a short time. It seems I can only learn and optimize these three spells before planning my next steps," she thought calmly.
At this moment, it was around seven in the morning.
Outside the dormitory, many apprentices were already getting up to attend classes in the teaching building.
Compared to the quietness a month ago, the academy has become somewhat lively as the war nears its end.
Although Third-Rank Apprentices have not been fully recalled yet, most Official Wizards have gradually arrived at the academy.
Some courses that were put on hold due to the war have resumed.
However, attending classes is not particularly important for Freya.
The knowledge she currently needs is not covered in detail by the academy's curriculum. What she is involved in has already surpassed the apprentice level, which is only eligible for Official Wizards to learn.
Fortunately, although the courses are not detailed, the library and Trading Area in the academy provide convenience for Freya.
Most of the books in her room were purchased from the Trading Area using Magic Stones.
If it weren't for her exceptional cognitive abilities, a regular Third-Rank Apprentice would likely need at least a year just to read these books, not including mastering them.
...
After some time.
Under the dim light, Freya sat at her desk, holding a white Feather Pen and writing something.
In front of her was a pile of open books and blueprints.
After a while, Freya put down the Feather Pen, gently exhaled, and looked at her research results with some emotion.
"I didn't expect that a First-Level Spell Model would be so complex. It took me over ten tries just to learn one Plant Energy spell: Vine Entwining."
She shook her head lightly; this was just learning. If she were to make improvements and optimizations, it would likely be even more challenging. The theoretical knowledge involved in First-Level Spells includes dozens of concepts, along with the corresponding Model arrangement order and structure.
She didn't know if other Official Wizards learned in the same way as she did, but learning First-Level Spells with her current knowledge was indeed quite laborious. However, despite the difficulties, she wasn't entirely clueless.
Stretching her body slightly, Freya took out a black seed and held it in her palm. Her invisible mental power quickly arranged and combined into a complex geometric shape. As the shape gradually perfected itself, green Energy Particles representing Plant Energy began to resonate in the air and were drawn into the Spell Model.
"Kakosnaltakfiole"
The fragmented incantation escaped her lips, and a green glow appeared on the black seed.
The unrefined and lengthy incantation lasted for ten minutes, and the complex arrangement of mental energy made her face pale slightly.
However, fortunately, Freya's mental energy had not yet reached its limit.
"Bloom, Sirtler. Vine Light."
As the ten-minute incantation came to an end, the black seed in her hand suddenly cracked open, and a green sprout emerged. The growth speed of this sprout was incredibly fast, resembling a green snake that quickly wrapped around Freya's entire arm.
Feeling the extension of the spell, Freya quietly observed the changes in the vine.
In just a few seconds, the slender vine became thick and large, twisting its green body around Freya.
However, this seemingly massive vine did not feel heavy to Freya; it seemed to be a product that existed between substance and energy.
Once the vine completely covered Freya, the originally green vine gradually began to assimilate with the surrounding environment, disappearing without a trace in no time.
"Is it a natural color-changing ability similar to that of a chameleon or an octopus?"
Freya thought, speculating as she felt the vine still attached to her.
A thread of mental energy connected with the invisible vine, allowing her to precisely command it for defense or attack.
'Thud!'
A faint whip-like sound echoed behind Freya as a black hole the size of a finger appeared instantly in the solid floor.
Freya turned to look at the floor behind her, her eyes lighting up slightly.
"Indeed, this is a First-Level Spell. This kind of physical attack is already comparable to my special sword techniques. If I were to unleash it fully, it would be like having an extra arm. However, this spell can only maintain its effect for about ten minutes with my current mental energy. Moreover, casting it in its unrefined form takes too long; it would be somewhat difficult to use for defense. But if prepared adequately for an ambush, it might yield unexpected results."
Carefully considering the uses of her first completed First-Level Spell, she realized that although it was the most primitive basic version, its power had already surpassed that of an apprentice level.
The initial release has been successful. Next, it only requires regular practice and mastery before any improvements or optimizations can be made.
As Freya pondered her next steps, she suddenly felt a warmth in the Communication Ring on her index finger, accompanied by a strange mental connection.
Watching the ring's flickering light, Freya's eyes brightened slightly.
"This is a message from the Mission Area."
Quickly connecting to the mental energy, a deep, hoarse voice soon appeared in her ear.
"Hello, Lady Freya, I am Thomas from the Spell Department. I have information regarding the Demon Eye Grass you need. When would you be available for us to meet and discuss this in detail?"
"Indeed, it is the Demon Eye Grass."
Upon hearing this Spiritual Message, Freya's calm demeanor began to show signs of excitement. (To be continued)
