章節 94: Finished
Sometime after Beatrice had finished training.
As she sat down on her bed, Beatrice couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"This might take a while," mumbled Beatrice as she thought about the training method her teacher decided on.
Remembering how easily those fragile souls crumbled to dust, Beatrice couldn't help but feel sweat appearing on her forehead as she thought about her encounter with her own soul back in her past life.
If she was even slightly more reckless back then, Beatrice was sure that she would have probably done some damage to her soul.
'Thankfully I was cautious,' thought Beatrice as she clenched her fist, closing her eyes a few moments later.
Before Beatrice began refining mana, she began looking through her still-fresh memories, reliving the attempts at controlling those souls.
The first time Beatrice attempted to control a soul, she used too much force far too suddenly on the fragile thing, completely destroying it.
Seeing this, on her next attempt, Beatrice tried to be more cautious with the amount of force she used, and because of this, nothing happened.
With how gentle Beatrice was on the soul, there wasn't any chance that she could even attempt to take control of it, as such, Beatrice slightly increased the amount of power he was throwing toward the soul.
Sadly, this was also way too much, as the soul was once again destroyed by Beatrice.
This cycle continued on and on, up until her teacher decided that Beatrice had enough training for the day.
After reliving those memories a few times, Beatrice let out a slightly defeated sigh before beginning to refine mana, as she could not ignore any facet of her training.
Several hours later
After finishing refining mana for the day, Beatrice got up from her bed and walked into a side room, where over a hundred small boxes with ants were present.
Whilst watching Guinevere carefully feed the ants whilst staring at a list, Beatrice nodded before walking up to the first box and silently casting a spell on the single little and sitting inside of it.
"It's going to take some more time for the next generation of ants to be born," mumbled Beatrice as she stretched out her finger into the box, gently touching the lonely ant sitting inside of it.
Seemingly as a response to this touch, the ant gently leaned against Beatrice's finger, causing a smile to appear on the latter's face.
The moment Beatrice spoke, Guinevere, who was feeding a certain ant, raised her head and stared at her for a moment, returning her attention back to the ant a moment later.
As the Ant Growth spell was designed to help entire new colonies of ants grow up, Beatrice did not have to spend much mana casting it, allowing her to cast it over a hundred times without much effort.
Because of this, Beatrice could cast the spell on the few dozen ants without spending much effort in the slightest, as the rest of the ants had already grown up, having been the ones who created these young ants.
...
Two weeks later,
For the past two weeks, Beatrice continued her normal routine, only having some changes in it.
After making sure that the Information Cube was safe to use, Beatrice then spent some of the time she used to spend on researching it to move her notes inside of one of the cubes.
Although moving all of her notes was quite troublesome, Beatrice was quite willing to spend the time to do so, after all, no matter what, the human mind is fallible.
Having all of her notes in one place ensured that Beatrice would never forget or lose any of them, at the same time, this created some more empty space inside of Beatrice's room, as she got rid of her old notebooks.
Even though this is not much of a benefit, because Beatrice's room is quite large, this is still somewhat nice.
At the same time, throughout these few weeks, Beatrice continued training with her teacher in her attempt to control a soul.
Over these past few weeks, although Beatrice felt as though she had some progress, she did manage to succeed in controlling a single one, up until now.
...
Staring at the white-haired little girl in front of her, a small smile couldn't help but appear on Beatrice's face, causing the black face of the little girl to also change, as a smile appeared on it.
Looking at the scene in front of her, a satisfied expression appeared on Selena's face.
Although Beatrice's knowledge of the soul had stayed the same after these two weeks, using the specially prepared souls, Beatrice was able to increase her mastery of the soul by a lot.
Throughout these two weeks, Selena had been able to see the talent her disciple had in the aspect of the soul firsthand.
'With the amount of spiritual power she naturally had, it makes sense that her talent in this aspect is great,' thought Selena as she continued looking at her disciples.
Although the major Mage Academies try to keep the talents of their disciples a secret, especially from dangerous rogue mages who would harm them, such as the infamous Witch of Death, Selena still managed to find out the talent of her disciple, including her original spiritual power.
After a few moments, Selena shook her head, breaking out of her thoughts as she suddenly appeared before Beatrice.
"It seems as though you have finally succeeded in controlling your target, my dear apprentice, now I can finally conclude that your training can be considered finished," said Selena as she looked at Beatrice, causing a confused expression to appear on the latter's face.
Seeing this, Selena couldn't help but shake her head.
"As you may have already noticed, the soul is completely unlike most other things, being extremely personal, this is the reason I let you train on your own, only giving you the means to do so, whilst supervising you."
"If I had trained to impart my experience to you, it may have taken you much longer to achieve your current mastery, at the same time, I may have even led you to the wrong path," said Selena whilst taking out a notebook from her robe, causing Beatrice to nod as she stretched out her hands, gripping the leather notebook into her hands.
"Some of my experiences with the soul, as well as some of my earlier research is recorded in that notebook, you should use it as a reference," said Selena.
"I understand," mumbled Beatrice as she held the notebook into her hands
