“Whew—”
Jia Na, who had exited the transformation state, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
In just under a minute of transformation time, the magic power in Jia Na's magic circuit had already dropped below the red line.
“Lola, you should go back too.”
“Hiss—”
After dispelling the Contract power, the Thorn Flower Fairy was also sent back to the Spirit World by Jia Na.
“Although the magic power consumption of Elementary Transformation is high, if I can make good use of these three minutes, it might be a good trump card…”
Although the Thorn Flower Fairy belongs to the same element as Jia Na, transforming into a Thorn Flower Fairy was not of much use to Jia Na.
To be honest, the Thorn Flower Fairy's support ability is far greater than its combat power. What Jia Na currently needs most is to compensate for the weakness of Summoning Department apprentices and Plant Department apprentices' own combat power. By transforming for three minutes, she can greatly increase her combat burst power. If one blow is not successful, then she can quickly escape.
“In the magic creature breeding area, there might be plant-type magical beasts that meet this condition. After class tomorrow, I can go and observe them on site. Maybe I can find a more suitable transformation target…”
“Moreover, the next time I choose a Contract Summoning beast, I will either choose one with high burst combat power or one that can cover my quick escape…”
While thinking about her future combat power route, Jia Na raised her head, looked at the time on the mechanical clock, which was already late, then took off her wizard robe and walked into the washroom to take a shower.
“If only I had an Alchemy bathtub, not only could it quickly relieve fatigue, but I could also meditate in it…”
When Jia Na returned from the Nightingale Opera Troupe on the weekend, she saw the latest model of an Alchemy bathtub in an Alchemy supply store.
The close-fitting design, which conforms to the body structure, not only allows a Wizard who has worked hard all day to get enough rest, but at the same time, the magic pattern array carved on the bathtub, after twelve hours of energy storage, can also allow a Wizard to perform shallow meditation in a magic-rich environment.
With just one glance, Jia Na took a liking to this Alchemy bathtub. However, when she saw the price, which also did not meet her psychological expectations, she still chose to leave gracefully.
“Splash, splash—”
As the hot water fell from the showerhead, the fatigue of the day gradually disappeared with the sound of the water…
…
The next day, on the fifth floor of the Magic Tower, in the first-year apprentice public class classroom.
“You say, how old is Professor Wuta exactly?”
On the podium, looking at Professor Wuta, whose hair and beard were all white, and whose long beard almost reached his knees, Vivian said in a low voice that only she and Jia Na could hear.
“Probably very old, after all, if there are no special ways to maintain it, the appearance of a Wizard will gradually age with age.”
“But I heard that Professor Wuta is much younger than the Principal… But the Principal looks only in his thirties, not so… well, old.”
Speaking of this, Vivian raised her head and cautiously glanced at Professor Wuta on the podium who was teaching the Elvish course like reciting scriptures. Seeing that he did not notice her, Vivian continued to hold her textbook with peace of mind, half-covering her mouth, and muttering softly.
“The Principal is a Necromancer. The relevant characteristic of the Law of the Death Domain is 'Solidification', so it's normal for him to look younger than others.”
“Law? Jia Na, when did you even know about Law-related knowledge?”
“Just a few days ago.”
Looking at Jia Na's profound appearance, Vivian guessed that she must have gone to the library again in the past few days to read a bunch of boring professional books. It seemed that the books she read this time were Law-related books that would only be studied in the third year.
“Jia Na, you are really not like a witch of this age group…”
“Is that so? But I don't think there's anything wrong with it.”
“I'm really afraid of you.”
…
“This section is the background when the first-level Wizard Gathering Place, the City of the Sky, was established… Alright, class is over.”
“Goodbye, Professor Wuta—”
The hands had just pointed to eleven o'clock. Professor Wuta, who was even less willing to extend the class than the apprentices, decisively closed his textbook, shook the beard on his chin, and strode out of the classroom.
“Jia Na, do you have any plans for a while?”
“I'm going to the magic creature breeding area. Are you interested in accompanying me?”
Hearing where Jia Na was going next, Vivian shook her head without hesitation.
“I have a dinner party tonight, and I don't want that place full of feces to make my hair smell.”
“Alright, then I'll go by myself.”
Looking at Vivian's disgusted expression, Jia Na shrugged, picked up her Ancient Magic History textbook, said goodbye to her, and left the classroom alone.
“Ding—”
After leaving the classroom, Jia Na saw that the elevator had just arrived, so she took the opportunity to squeeze into the elevator.
As the mechanical elevator rang again, Jia Na, who did not leave the elevator on the first floor with the crowd, waited until the others had left, then politely said to the crystal pendant hanging at the elevator entrance:
“Tower Spirit, please take me to the magic creature breeding area on the basement floor.”
“Purpose?”
“I want to observe the magic creatures inside and find inspiration for practicing Witchcraft.”
“Approved.”
The low male voice was mechanical and stiff. Although the Tower Spirit was just an Alchemy creature, as the Principal's private property and the Magic Tower's butler, Jia Na was still extremely respectful in her attitude.
“Ding—”
Accompanied by the third ding of the elevator, Jia Na, wearing her wizard hood, took out the magic wand from her inner pocket and cautiously left the elevator.
“Floral Guardian—”
With a light wave of her magic wand, as Jia Na finished the spell, an oval light green guardian barrier appeared around Jia Na.
“Although the magical beasts in the breeding area cannot injure apprentices, there is no rule that they cannot prank apprentices…”
As an Different Dimensional Space opened up on the lower floor of the Magic Tower, the space inside is about the size of twenty football fields.
The breeding area is also divided into four areas: Thorn Thicket, Swamp Wetland, Deep Water Lake, and Rocky Terrain.
Jia Na's goal this time was also clear: to find a plant-type magical beast with high burst power in the Thorn Thicket for transformation simulation.
There are only two magical beasts that meet Jia Na's requirements in the entire magical beast breeding area: one is the Ogre Flower, and the other is the Grimace Treant.
The Ogre Flower, about three meters high, is a plant-type magical beast with two characteristics: Swallowing and Paralysis. Its advantage is strong burst power and extremely fast attack speed. Its disadvantage is that it is afraid of fire and cannot move, which is a strong limitation.
The Grimace Treant is between three and four meters in size and has the characteristics of Frenzy and Self-Healing. Its advantages are super strength and iron-barrel-like defense. Although it can move, its movement speed is slow. Its method of dealing with enemies is to deliver a head-on blow to the enemy, directly smashing the opponent into paste…
