The boulders sailed through the air, before gravity dragged them towards the Illvarian troops around Alice. Alice waited until the boulders were within range of her tendrils before she reached out to stop them. She nearly dropped one of the two boulders near her, because they were much heavier than she had been prepared to handle. Luckily, she still managed to stop it before it crushed the nearby troops. The other Illvarian Mages did the same, protecting the around them before they threw the boulders back…-

The next hour was spent tensely waiting with Ethan, as more people slowly trickled into the house. A few of them paid attention to the ruined floorboards or the signs of a recent fight, and gave Ethan a slightly confused look before shrugging and ignoring the damage. Apparently, while they were curious, they didn’t care enough to ask. Meanwhile, Alice took careful note of the levels and magic seeds of the newcomers. She was very curious to know how influential an Immortal was, and what kind of power…

Even though there hadn’t been any public announcements similar to the ones after the hunting trip, Samantha’s disappearance wasn’t a private matter. Several members of the Crown estate and the Mage estate were furious, and both political factions had begun rallying manpower together to put the fear of the…

Arin looked at Alice with a bit of confusion, giving her a sideways glance as he took in the sight of the partially ruined street around him. Alice also took a look at her surroundings, wincing a bit as she took in the aftermath of the fight. Cobblestones were missing left and right from the street, chunks of house and roof tile had been ripped away and used as ammunition, and one of the nearby houses had partially collapsed after the Society Mage had hurled a cobblestone through its wall. She hadn’t…

After Alice finished dealing with all of her upgrades, she visited Boris for the week. Now that she had a more extensive list of ideas and guesses about class seeds, Alice took this visit as an opportunity to observe Boris in greater detail, to see if she could verify any of her guesses about the nature of class seeds. She had already observed that Boris had a huge amount of mana in his body compared to the amount of time he had been working on levelling up, but now that she had more information, perhaps…

After Alice came to her hypothesis about the nature of class seeds, she felt a whirlwind of excited thoughts start to spin around in her head. If classes were actually magic seeds that had been altered in some way, she had made a Then, Alice took a few deep breaths as she did her best to shake off her excitement. Even if class seeds and magic seeds looked like they were close to same thing when she had used {Expanding Comprehension}, she needed to do more testing, to make sure her ideas were correct. She…

Alice spent the next week practicing her healing skills, before finally reaching a point where she could heal a small cut in the practical test for her healing license. Her organic magic skills were still far from good enough to use when she could just activate {Moderate Tissue Regeneration} or one of her enchanted rings, but she was at least good enough at healing that she no longer left permanent side effects behind. It was good enough to get her license at least, and also good enough to heal other…
