“Beep.” Hearing that we could still meet, Rebecca finally looked up, her eyes gradually firming with resolve.
It seemed that our Priestess Rebecca was finally capable of standing on her own, no longer just a fragile little flower relying on others.
What’s more, unlike the others, the Priestess’s mana value was a crucial attribute.
Rebecca’s spell combinations only required mana value. She needed an immense, boundless supply of mana, so staying at the Continental Magic Academy for training was by far the best choice.
“When will you leave?” Rebecca asked.
“A few more days of rest,” Samimi replied with a bitter smile, “at least until I can walk properly.”
“Alright, I’ll help you prepare to go home. Get some good rest.” Rebecca suddenly felt reliable, got up, and left without disturbing them further.
Samimi finally found the chance to take another look at the 【Twin Goddesses Statue】 unlocked by her 100-point Goodness value.
This spell, like the Crown of Thorns, possessed the traditional power of Yan Cover, instantly awakening her domineering Magic Domain.
The Twin Goddesses Statue greatly amplified her mana while unlocking control over 【Thorn Chess】, but the amplified mana could only be used for Thorn magic.
Thorn magic didn’t have any spells that required large mana consumption, except for controlling massive amounts of thorns, which naturally consumed mana.
So, it could be simply understood that she could control the thorns.
However, this invincible spell had its drawback: range. The essence of a Domain was a limitation of range.
She could only control the thorns expanding outward from the position established by the Twin Goddesses Statue, and the farther away, the more mana it consumed exponentially.
But as a final decisive killing move, this was already perfect—no flaws could be found.
Samimi felt that she wouldn’t have much room for improvement in the near future.
Her spell combinations were already flawless.
She was already too strong.
“Ah~ Niubao, help! Hurry and support me!”
Samimi, feeling vain, wanted to stretch her abdomen but immediately suffered muscle soreness so painful she cried out to Niubao.
A few days later…
Samimi and Niubao’s farewell party was held as scheduled.
However, Samimi noticed that except for Priestess Rebecca, the other healer sisters showed no sadness at her departure.
“Duo Ming, Niubao, I’ll miss you,”
it was actually the Wolf Girl who was very reluctant to let go of Niubao, holding him tightly and crying for a while before eating.
As for Alisa, the real powerhouse and deep sleeper of Moon of Darkness Hall, she didn’t even say a word and went straight to sleep.
But White Spider silently passed Samimi a crab leg, which touched her deeply.
“I’ll miss you all. Safe travels.”
As for Headmistress Brayetta, she maintained her official demeanor, uttering beautiful words without a trace of genuine emotion.
But Samimi knew that Brayetta was very loyal and cared for her sisters. It was just that Samimi didn’t like how Brayetta hid her feelings even more than herself.
To some extent, Headmistress Brayetta and Samimi were the most similar people—outwardly full of false pretenses, but inwardly deeply emotional.
“You girls will be in your care now,” Samimi said to Brayetta.
“Priestess Rebecca is the real Council President,” Brayetta smiled lightly, shirking responsibility.
“Then please assist her well. She’ll definitely mess up sometimes, and you have to be the one to snap her out of it,” Samimi added.
“No problem.” Brayetta and Samimi secretly shook hands.
“Dinner’s served,” the puppet Council President Rebecca finally came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket of rice, serving everyone, completely unaware she had already fallen into a trap.
Seeing the fragrant rice arrive, Wolf Girl finally let go of Niubao, and everyone ate together. This was truly the final dinner.
Yet the atmosphere was no different from usual gatherings. After all, the Moon of Darkness Hall’s teleportation array was connected to Sweet Melon Town’s warehouse, so she could come back anytime.
That was good—Samimi couldn’t stand the sad atmosphere of farewells anyway.
After dinner, everyone chatted casually for a while, the usual bragging session to end the night.
“Old Mi, go check out the rooftop now.” Suddenly, Brayetta approached mysteriously and whispered.
Samimi was a bit doubtful but didn’t hesitate. She went alone to the Moon of Darkness Hall’s rooftop.
There, a short old lady was waiting for her.
“Headmistress Oli, good evening,” Samimi greeted briskly.
She remembered how wild and unruly she was in front of her not long ago, but now she felt she could only wish the lady to be her godmother—no, foster mother.
“Child, are you leaving?” Headmistress Oli asked kindly.
“Yes, I’m from the Church after all,” Samimi replied.
“No, the Priestess is also a saintly servant. Won’t she go back?” Headmistress Oli smiled. “Your choice is correct. I can feel your mana veins won’t improve much here. You’re better suited for wandering outside.”
“Thank you for understanding, Headmistress. Please take care of everyone,” Samimi bowed slightly.
So polite! It really made her uncomfortable! Is this still the Samimi we know?
“Child, here’s a gift for you.” Headmistress Oli turned and suddenly pulled out a skill book bound in orange bark from her chest.
“You’ve helped us enough. I really can’t accept it.” Samimi’s eyes sparkled like a little hunter in the night, but she still kept her composure.
“This is just clearing out the inventory. This skill book is useless to us, but it might be useful to you.” Headmistress Oli chuckled.
“Ah… such kindness, I’m sorry.” Samimi’s lips twisted awkwardly but her body was honest—she quickly reached out and took the orange skill book.
The moment she accepted the legendary skill book, Headmistress Oli disappeared instantly, coming and going like the wind.
“Next time you return, you must attend my Magic Fundamentals Theory class.”
But her voice lingered in the air through wind-transmitted sound.
“No problem, I’ll definitely be there next time.” Samimi smiled at the night sky and promised.
Having said that, she hurried back to her room.
Niubao was already packed and ready.
Samimi sat at her now spotless desk, eagerly flipping open the orange skill book.
The first page had just four big characters: 【Magic Upon Magic】!
Samimi’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to suppress her curiosity, slammed the orange skill book shut, and put it back in her backpack.
“Miss Nun?” Niubao tilted his head, puzzled.
“Hold on, it’s not the right time yet. I’ll study it when we get back,” Samimi said, reaching up to ruffle Niubao’s head, grinning happily.
This journey to the Magic Academy had been well worth it.
