Danister looked at Shade with a probing look in her eyes:
"Although I criticized and encouraged you a little last time, you don't have to... I don't think your progress is slow, it's just... very good, very unexpected."
The sorceress couldn't find a better adjective to express her thoughts:
"In this case, you only need the Enlightenment Rune to advance to the sixth ring. No, you also need your Words of Ascension. Since you have made your own choice, I will not give you any advice. However, according to your previous study reports, you have a high talent for the Enlightenment element. And the female writer in your group can help you. If you can make the Enlightenment Rune become your Words of Ascension Rune, you will be one ring away from the sixth ring..."
She suddenly laughed:
"You're not going to tell me next Wednesday that you've been promoted, are you?"
Shade calculated:
"Of course not. How can it be so fast?"
"The more you say this, the more I feel that... you are such a student with such a high level of learning awareness. As your nominal mentor, I have to express my gratitude. Which spiritual rune do you want to learn about? I will take care of the information on the magic and the materials for learning the ritual this time. You don't need to spend any money."
Miss Danister said, Shade smiled and thanked her, then pointed to the silver blasphemous spirit rune:
"arrogant."
"Blasphemy-arrogance? This is very interesting. Some ancient and powerful magics are related to such spiritual runes. However, I cannot teach you those powerful magics that will have a serious impact on your character."
She thought about it:
"Your ring wizard system revolves around the moon and time and space. Among the magic skills you have reported, there are too many auxiliary abilities..."
Because Shade's offensive magic is so recognizable.
"I don't know what you think, but I still recommend that you learn offensive magic. It's not for hurting others, but it's good for self-protection."
Miss Danister waved her hand, and an antique, notebook-sized black book with burn marks on the lower right corner flew into her hands. Because of the angle, Shade couldn't see the specific title of the book.
"I recommend this to you, Demon Slayer, the Demon Hunter of the Fourth Era... What's that expression on your face?"
Shad tried hard not to cough. Dr. Schneider had just mentioned this magic to him not long ago. It was the power of witchers in the Fourth Age to fight against evil spirits and demons. The doctor also said that Shad didn't need this magic at all (Chapter 1286). His moonlight plus the night watchman were enough.
"I'm just curious, what does Pride have to do with Evil Breaker?"
He was indeed curious about this, but Miss Danister couldn't tell:
"This is the magic that was recorded by professors in the last era. Moreover, most of the magic that is consistent with the meaning of arrogance itself is too dangerous. You should understand that arrogance is the original sin."
She gave a simple example:
"For example, I know that the Zaras Academy of Literature has a collection of the high-level magic sword of Sin and Punishment. When using it, one draws out one's own vertebrae to summon an extremely dangerous magic sword sealed in the warp by the gods. Why, are you interested in this kind of magic?"
Xia De shook his head:
"I don't think Breaking Evil is suitable for me. Are there any other options? In fact, auxiliary magic is also very good. My life is very peaceful, and I don't have any dangerous enemies. I just walk around the city every day, help find lost pet cats, or track down cheating men... So, I don't really need powerful offensive magic."
Miss Danister glanced at him, and Shad knew she saw through his lie.
"The magic related to blasphemy and arrogance is usually quite old. Even in the era before the emergence of the ring sorcerer system, arrogance itself has become a symbol of mysticism and is commonly seen in other supernatural systems. Since you don't like the evil-breaking slash, I have other magic to recommend to you."
The black book floated away again, and a very thick book with a golden human face and sun pattern on the cover floated over.
Miss Danister waved her hand, and the book turned the pages automatically:
"Found it. This is it. Thaumaturgy of Reverence for the Sun, or more famously known as Thaumaturgy of Praising the Sun. Currently, only Miracle-Sun and Blasphemy-Arrogance can be learned. This is a passive thaumaturgy that does not require any casting materials. The first time you face the sun each day, open your arms, and then praise the sun, the effect will be activated. Therefore, it will be ineffective if it is cloudy all day."
The casting action sounds very similar to using Yin Luna's Sunshine Gun Brooch.
"After you activate the spellcasting effect every day, when you are exposed to sunlight, the recovery speed of your physical strength and spirit will increase slightly, and the power related to the sun will be enhanced."
The sorceress explained:
"We, the ring sorcerers who are good at using the power of the moon, can usually exert our strongest power at night. Therefore, the daytime becomes a period of 'weakness' in a sense. I recommend this magic to you for this reason. Most of the other magics with similar effects belong to the divine arts of the Church of the Sun and the Earth, which require devout faith and cumbersome prayers to use. In comparison, the one I recommend to you is simply too convenient. It is said that if you can master this magic to a very high level, you can even achieve a certain sense of 'resurrection from the dead' under the midday sun."
Xia De thought about it and thought that this magic was indeed good:
"Sounds like it to me, but what does praising the sun have to do with 'arrogance'?"
"I think you should know the title of the Ancient Sun God."
"certainly."
He murmured in admiration:
"Praise the Most High Sunbinder!"
"The sun itself means 'supreme'. If mortals who are 'arrogant' are willing to revere and praise the supreme sun, the sun will bless sinners - this is what the book says."
Miss Danister said, and she flew the book to Shad, asking him to read the contents carefully:
"How does it feel?"
"It really suits me. Although it doesn't have any outstanding features, this kind of passive effect without any cost is what I like most. Miss Danister, I choose this magic."
"Very good. The academy has all the materials for learning thaumaturgy. They will be delivered to you in a moment via a page of poetry manuscript. The ceremony can only be performed at noon, but it requires the help of a ring sorcerer with the power of the sun. You have to figure this out on your own. Speaking of which, of the two thaumaturgy rewards for the end-of-year exam, you have only learned the Sound of Music. Reverence for the Sun is a gift from me, and you can still choose a free thaumaturgy in the library."
"Wait until the need arises."
Shad was in no hurry.
Miss Danister also nodded slightly:
"Okay. Also, I'm leaving school this afternoon on a business trip, so don't forget about Yue Zhimeng while I'm away from the academy. By the way, I'm still selecting student librarian assistants. I've already selected one of the three positions, so you can help me select two more so that we can get familiar with what this job entails. Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter who you choose. Anyone who can read can do the job of an assistant."
As he spoke, a document on the coffee table flew towards Xia De and showed him fifteen student profiles.
Xia De's eyes wandered for a moment because he saw a familiar photo.
"Let me see... Miss Kanna Messiah is pretty good. Although she is a goblin and small in stature, she is the oldest among them and a seventh-grade student, so she should be quite steady. I also noticed that she took elective courses in library management and special book storage and obtained high scores, which at least shows that she is very passionate about library work."
Miss Danister nodded:
"A very good choice. I remember this girl. She is indeed a good choice. Then, next one."
Xia De pretended to look through the remaining information again, and acted embarrassed:
"And then... Oh, this one looks good. Miss Emilia Sienold, although she is a little young for the elves, but..."
It was actually difficult for him to find Miss Elf's strengths from this simple student profile. Being good at taking care of unicorns would not be of much help to her job as a librarian's assistant:
"Among the remaining applicants, her handwriting is the best."
Miss Danister laughed:
"It's an interesting reason, but it does make sense. At least it will save me some trouble when I check the borrowing records when I come back."
She took the information back and looked at the photo of Emilia pinned to the application form:
"Is this a girl from the Yuexi clan? She looks pretty good."
After a brief evaluation, the discussion stopped. Miss Danister did not see the reason for Shade's choice:
"In short, I may not be able to contact you frequently recently, but don't neglect your studies... Don't progress too quickly, you have to learn step by step. If you acquire spiritual runes too quickly, there will be a risk of losing control."
Xia De thought that this sentence meant to end the meeting, but the thirteenth ring sorceress suddenly raised another question:
"One more thing. If I remember correctly, Miss Luvia Anat from your group, who was jointly trained with the Prophet Association, is also in Randall Valley now?"
"Yes, for her Word of Ascension."
"Do you need me to give you a greeting?"
She asked with great interest:
"When I was in Tobesk last year, I went to the Prophet's Association. The president of the local association said that you have a very good relationship with her."
Shade blinked his eyes, imagining what it would look like when Miss Danister and Luvia met at the Inn at the Land of Plenty. If he refused at this time, it would probably seem a little strange, so he nodded:
"Thank you for your kindness. If it is convenient, please give me your regards for her health. The weather is about to get warmer. Please take care of yourself and come back as soon as you have finished your business."
The sorceress sitting opposite him already had a smile on her face.
