Chapter 39 My Foolish Sister

Looking at Vivian, Yuna followed her into a room on the side, still somewhat bewildered.

Victor sighed softly, turned and walked out of the building... He couldn't help but recall the process of becoming a wizard here.

To be honest, that was his first lesson in the wizarding world.

The lesson is to not trust your own eyes, and even more so, not to bring the perspective of a mortal into the wizarding world... Otherwise, when you are alone with Ms. Yuna, who helped you learn meditation and awaken your magic, and see her tear off her human skin to reveal the mottled skin covered with eyeballs, it is easy to be left with some psychological trauma.

That's right... Ms. Yuna, who just had a pleasant conversation with him, was elegant and spoke gently, is not human.

Her true form is a strange monster that lives in the void. Her formal name is "Gisley," which means "monster that steals knowledge." However, wizards usually call this creature by another common name—"Hunter"!

This is an extremely dangerous monster, even for wizards.

Soul monsters have no lifespan and no growth process like ordinary creatures. They are born into an eternal form and have the innate ability to control the magic of the creatures around them. They are intelligent but follow their instincts, devouring all creatures with souls and converting the knowledge in the souls they consume into their own power.

Legend has it that powerful spirits can even unleash magic in an instant and destroy a planet... Of course, Ms. Yuna clearly doesn't have that ability, because her true identity is actually a prisoner of the Morning Star Academy.

The building she was in was essentially a prison where she was held.

Yuna herself was well aware of her situation, so in order to gain freedom and the resources to continue her life, she cooperated fully with the work of the Morning Star Academy, using her expertise to help the new apprentices awaken their magic and to be responsible for inscribing "how to meditate" into the wizards' minds.

This process significantly reduced the rate at which Morningstar Academy was growing its wizarding apprentices.

Otherwise, following the normal wizarding process, just learning meditation and gradually acquiring magic through meditation, just the step of transforming from a mortal into a low-level wizard apprentice, would take at least one to three years.

The tests Yuna just conducted on Vivian, infusing her with magic, were all preparations for this kind of 'awakening consciousness'.

And it is said that... many other wizarding factions in the Wizarding Alliance are not as convenient as Morning Star Academy, so they basically still use old methods such as magic power testing stones.

However, to be honest, that's all Viktor really knows about Yuna... What he knows isn't exactly a secret in the academy; it's easy to find out if you want to.

But some of the deeper secrets are not something that just any apprentice could know.

For example, what is Yuna's actual strength, and what deal did she make with the academy...? But in short, Victor felt that having such a shortcut wasn't a bad thing, although it wasn't without its price...

Thinking of Vivian's shocked, panicked, and fearful reaction upon seeing Yuna's true form, Viktor couldn't help but smile, and he walked briskly towards the laboratory building...

......

In the afternoon, Viktor came out of the laboratory building again and went to the building where Yuna was. Vivian seemed to have passed the test completely and was sitting obediently next to Yuna, listening to Yuna rambling on.

Upon seeing Viktor walk in, she instinctively stood up.

But then he realized that his movements were a bit too obvious, and he froze on the spot.

Viktor ignored her and instead looked respectfully at Yuna:

"Ms. Yuna, it seems everything is going well?"

"Clearly, everything is going well, Viktor."

Yuna, looking like a middle-aged woman who had just finished a sauna, lay on her side in the chair, slightly weary, and looked at Viktor as she said:

"Vivian's talent is indeed quite good."

"Especially the scent of her magic... it's truly unique."

"Unfortunately, if the academy could agree, I might be able to make an exception and accept one student... but I doubt the academy would agree."

Viktor was somewhat surprised, but immediately spoke without hesitation:

"Really? Ms. Yuna!!"

"It's alright. Even if the academy doesn't allow you to take on students, it's fine for Vivian to come and ask you for advice more often!"

Yuna pretended to be thinking:

"Would you like to ask you something?"

"The academy hasn't said anything about it..."

Victor gently tapped the table:

"Then it's settled, Ms. Yuna."

"Being able to learn from you, even just a little, is enough for Vivian to benefit from for a lifetime."

Yuna smiled slightly, waved casually, and looked at Vivian:

"Alright, then like you said, I'll allow Vivian to ask me more questions... What are your thoughts, Vivian?"

Upon hearing her name, Vivian instinctively looked at Victor, only to find him staring intently at her.

Vivian clenched her teeth involuntarily. Although a primal fear of Yuna still lingered in her body, she forced herself to nod.

"Yes...Ms. Yuna..."

Although Vivian agreed, she was clearly very dissatisfied with the decisions Victor had made for her.

Suppressing her emotions, she forced herself to walk home with Victor. Once back in their room, she couldn't help but ask him:

"Why do you want me to learn from this Yuna?"

"And why didn't you tell me that she was actually...?"

Victor raised his hand to interrupt her question:

Are you questioning my decision?

"you!"

Vivian was so angry that she was speechless.

Victor, however, had already turned his head away and casually replied:

"You don't seem to understand what I mean by the wizarding world where strength is paramount."

"For wizards who have not yet matured, background and powerful backers are also a part of their strength."

"And Lady Yuna is a being even more terrifying than a formal wizard... You have the opportunity to learn from her, to become her apprentice who isn't actually an apprentice. Do you think that's a bad thing?"

Vivian fell silent.

Seeing that she remained silent, Victor's lips curled into a mocking smile:

"Also, it's time to thoroughly cure your princess syndrome."

"I'm tolerant of you because you're my sister, but in the wizarding world, your overflowing emotions are like a torch lit at night—too conspicuous. Controlling your emotions is fundamental for wizards; don't let yourself become out of place among other wizards."

"Just like in front of Yuna just now, even if you are afraid of her, you can't show it so obviously."

"It's almost unbearable to look at; he looks weak and not very smart."
