Linetta couldn’t be sure if their aunty commissioned people to assassinate them on the road to the capital. It was just a blind guess that they couldn’t confirm. However, if the wagon thief party had been a group of assassins, they would have caught up to them in the underground cave if they were truly their targets. After all, their abandoned wagons near the streams were enough tracks to prove that they had taken refuge in their underground shelter. Despite that, the thief party took a wagon…-

Blackmoon Region Along the upper streams that run through the vast crescent-shaped valley, several heads popped out of the cold water before they met with the misty morning light that had only just started to shine over the region. Having spent a fair bit of time in the underground cavern, the escort group had nearly forgotten an entire night had gone by. “It seems like the area is clear,” Captain Rhys confirmed before quickly adding, “However, everyone should keep their guards up. The Dark…

Over the next few hours, Linetta completed the forging of not one but two spears with the minerals she could find in the cave. With her control over earth-attribute objects, it was not difficult for her to fuse metals and create sturdy weapons. In fact, the top weapon and armor makers in the seven witch kingdoms were all earth-attribute witches. Linetta’s spears were black, mostly due to the meteorite iron, tungsten, carbon, and titanium used in their production. After Linetta reinforced the two…

Even though Linetta was fully aware of the risks associated with Spatial Magic, she had quite a bit of confidence in her Spatial Magic. She had practiced Spatial Magic to a satisfactory level in the past to prevent the risk of failing her familiar summoning. “Before you even think about storing anything in your Magic Domain, I must warn you, my Lady. A True Witch’s Magic Domain is quite frail, even more so if you have yet to reach Peak-stage True Witch.” Vaan suddenly reminded Linetta just as she…

“Although my knowledge is mostly acquired from books, please ask away, my Lady. I will answer where I can,” Vaan calmly gestured. Linetta von Delarosa nodded. Shortly after, she took a few moments to gather her thoughts before she began, “Actually, it’s fine even if you don’t have an answer.” “It’s like this; witches gather mana and condense them to form a ring of mana, which we call a Magic Circle. Thus, an Apprentice Witch officially becomes a True Witch by forming the first Magic…

In essence, Vaan’s assignment was to build her personal weapon. Since Earth Magic was Linetta’s specialty, and Earth Acceleration was her Specialized Magic, she only lacked an excellent medium to help them exert their full potential. She needed an earth-element weapon that she could easily control with Earth Magic and not break upon impact with Earth Acceleration. Within a short moment, Linetta came up with a simple metal spear design. However, she didn’t want to settle for a simple design;…

Vaan sat by a rock and patiently waited for Linetta’s answer without making the slightest sound and disturbing her train of thoughts. Nevertheless, as minutes passed, he began to wonder if he had placed too much expectation on her. “I think I get it,” Linetta suddenly said. “Oh?” Vaan smiled before asking for her answer, “Let’s hear what you’ve figured out then.” “Yes, Teacher,” Linetta nodded. “For example, Rock Pillar, a Chant Magic, summons a normal rock pillar. But if you…

“Of course, Teacher,” Linetta agreed. “Very well; then, I will begin,” Vaan nodded before quizzing her, “What are the four classifications of offensive magic called? List them in order from worse to best and explain why they are ranked accordingly.” “Yes, Teacher,” Linetta complied. “The four classifications of offensive magic are Preparation, Charge, Chant, and Battle Magic; they have been ranked accordingly due to their battle-readiness and execution.” “Very good,” Vaan nodded…

‘How absurd!’ The moment Vaan spoke about teaching Lady Linette magic, not only did the two sisters of the Delarosa Household have that thought, but everyone in the escort group also felt the same. “Oh? You’ll teach me magic, Vaan?” Linette furrowed her brows. She wanted to give Vaan the benefit of the doubt; she really did. However, most men do not have access to learn about magic, let alone even use magic. Thus, they will never truly understand it. On the other hand, witches immediately…

“I noticed the mana movements of your magic spell, Rock Bullet, activated before you even started chanting the spell, my Lady. On top of that, it was incredibly fast, far superior to when you conjured the barrier and demolished the cave wall,” Vaan calmly explained. “Such sharp observation…” Linette expresses her astonishment with wide eyes. “With just those three instances, you were able to figure out my specialized magic?” “Generally, it shouldn’t be easy to guess, but the difference…
