Shoutout to Bruh_Vista and Harjas_Sidhu for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ The following day, Jean and Shuri arrived at the staff room very early, even before Markus, and virtually cordoned off a corner by setting up two chairs and a bunch of chalkboards. Jean picked up a chalk and drew a large model of the brain on one of the boards. "The brain learns through an interesting concept called neuroplasticity. It is the ability to reorganise its structure, functions and…-

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista and Harjas_Sidhu for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ "I must admit, I anticipated a different reaction from you," Jean expressed, her disappointment evident even through her face mask. She delicately set the skull cap of the cadaver to the side and continued, "To be honest." She glanced to her left and observed Shuri's deep…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ Jean's return to the True World Sect kind of dissolved into the background, overshadowed by the more imminent concern (the state of Revian's cultivation) that occurred at the same time as her arrival. She didn't expect a grand welcome or anything fancy of that sort, but it did sadden her that her eventful trip did not receive recognition of any kind. Of course, there was also the fact that she couldn't share…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ Although Revian found out that his life as a mage hadn't reached a dead end, it did not wholly take him out of his dismayed emotional state. Because, technically speaking, Revian wasn't a mage anymore. And if Teacher Jeeves' evaluation was to be taken as fact, he wouldn't be walking down a mage's path anymore. For all intents and purposes, Revian was an anti-mage - a perfect counter to whatever a mage was…

384 Anti-Mage Once Guy, Al and Revian were at the practising field, which was cleared up to accommodate them, Al turned towards the dismayed boy and said, "Pain tells you when something is wrong. It is the body's natural feedback mechanism that tells you where the problem lies. So, following the standard process of diagnosis, we need to check to see whether you are in pain. Nearly everyone that has ever been crippled or had their mana core obliterated suffers through unbearable pain. Some female mages…

383 (Un)Losing Hope Guy waited patiently by Revian's bedside while he recovered from mana exhaustion. During this, he started to put together how he would break the news to the boy. Was there a nice way to say that the boy's future as a mage was basically kaput? And was there a gentler way to reveal that the cause of this disaster was his own actions? For thirty minutes, Guy formed and reformed a sentence that basically meant the same thing. Once the sentence was formed in his mind, he would say it…

382 ...You'll Find Out! In a fit of excitement, Revian proceeded to repeat the experiment with more variation. He first took the water to boiling point before cooling it down. After doing so he captured the volatile mana and hurtled it towards his core. This time, the raw mana released from the carried a greater amount of heat energy, which nearly melted his mana channels. But, by ejecting the mana immediately from his palm avoided that trouble. It was a painful test but provided meaningful results.…

381 If You Mess Around... "What in the world are you doing?" Yohn asked while approaching Revian slowly. The boy in question was intensely focused on the beaker, trying to absorb all the volatile mana escaping from it back into his mana channels. "The secret..." Revian grunted, "...is in the volatile mana- Ah! Damn it, it escaped!" "You have to explain what you're attempting here," Yohn said with a confused tone as Revian poured out the water in the beaker and refilled it from the large…

380 Recycle The promotion of another Sect Member to the Foundation Establishment realm was met with revel and excitement by everyone. It was celebrated with even more aplomb since the member who advanced was Yohn. No one expected Yohn to make much headway in his cultivation because they realised that his physical affliction was a legitimate hindrance to his advancement. This, however, did not mean that everyone ignored him, turned him into a pariah, and wished poorly of him. Everyone wanted Yohn to…

379 ICU Yohn looked around and immersed himself in the world with a completely novel colouration. It was a wholly different way to see the world. "They say snakes and few other reptiles have the ability to see infrared. Since their prey is mostly warm-blooded, it helps them track down rodents and birds," the Sect Leader elaborated. "So this is how I should be processing infrared..." Yohn murmured. "It is an option," Sect Leader Larks corrected. "If you have a better visualisation strategy,…
