CH.340 Craftswoman
The next day, I had so things on my agenda. Number one thing being checking up on Wilma. She was still in the dbay and she was still evolving. But since she is taken care of, I don’t have to worry about her too much.
The next is Unika. She got one summoning contract yesterday, after she managed to summon a D-rank forest fox. It was nothing special, but after six attempts of getting goblins, kobolds and birds, she was more than happy to ‘have sothing cute’. Her words, not mine. Because in my opinion the birds could have been useful, and they were also a bit cute.
But the important thing was sothing on the surface. It was regarding the Nel look-a-like princess. I wanted to find out more about her, so after breakfast, I teleported myself to the Sawyer manor so I could get so info from Mariina. Besides, today is another lesson on Soul Magic, so soone would have to go get her anyway. I can get the info I need while I’m at it.
“I suppose you don’t get the daily tablet.” Mariina said. “It took up half of it.”
“... what did?”
“Princess Nevelle visiting the Royal Academy.” Mariina said. “Here. Just take a look.” She passed the single page wanna-be newspaper to .
Nevelle, huh? That is almost dangerously close to Nel. You could easily shorten that na to Nel.
But still, this raises a lot of questions. This does confirm that that princess we saw was indeed a princess. A real Royal Princess. That part isn’t that surprising, as I basically already accepted that yesterday. But the part that I can’t understand is why would she walk? Sure the trip from the house she left to the Royal Academy isn’t all that long, but it is still a bit over 15 minutes of walking. That isn’t a distance a Royal should walk, at least as far as I know nobility.
And what about the building they left from? Let’s ask about it.
“... Cressida would know better, but I believe that it is the second Queen’s villa.”
“Ah. Alright. … it is surprisingly small for a Queen’s villa.”
“It is sothing she held before she took the seat of the Queen.” Mariina explained. “At first, she was just a concubine and the villa was given to her after she got pregnant.”
“... okay. And how did she beco the Second Queen then?”
“It was after the First Queen’s death. In her final monts, the First Queen picked her to take the seat of the Queen.”
“That’s … dark.”
“It is life. Not everyone can resurrect people. Nor heal terminal illness.”
“... to be honest, I’m not sure if I could cure a terminal disease. Even I might be stuck in ‘I’ll just extend your life’ mode.”
“I suppose sothing only the First Saint could ever do might be too much for you.” Mariina said. “I assud, since resurrection and all of that.”
“I an, I’m not saying I couldn’t do it. Because if I really looked into it, I probably could figure out a way. Actually, I already know one way, but it is kind of … not what I would call a cure. And even though technically they would get better, it would require their death.”
“... I’m not sure I like that idea, but at the sa ti, I do want to know what you have in mind.”
“Nothing much really. It is just a card I have. Monster Reincarnation.”

Actually, that got thinking. When we were staying in the Sawyer manor, Alice was leveling up Paulina. And I rember Alice saying that Paulina only wanted levels for Earth and Water Magic, until the two were maxed out. So when Paulina fought Mariina, Paulina should have had LV.10 Earth and Water Magic, while Mariina only had LV.9 Earth Magic. But Mariina still won. So I guess that really proves that natural growth is a lot better than Level Up! growth.
Now as for what I actually wanted from this experint, the feedback from Mariina, I got so good info from her. It will really help when I start holding actual lessons, so Mariina definitely earned today’s Level Ups.
The rest of the day for was a lot of training. First a session of Draconic training with Lady Janina, Agunan and Hiśaila, then swordsmanship with one of my many warriors, today it being Freed the Brave Wanderer.

I was slowly getting better, but I still wasn’t to the point where I could actually use Space Magic in combat for anything but defenses. But I did have a good goal in mind. When Alice fought the Ursa Major, the bear had used an attack that shot ‘blades’ of Space Magic. It was kind of like a flying sword slash, except with Space Magic, and because the Ursa had five claws, it shot five of them at the sa ti. And I want to be able to use an attack like that. Well, except that I think I’ll only be shooting out one slash at a ti, but still. A space cutter, or sothing like that. That is my current goal. Along with teleportation, but Cosmo Queen straight up said that teleportation is more difficult that the space cutter.
I had also begun to dip my fingers into Ti Magic with Ti Wizard. The Goddess did recomnd that I do so, so I may as well. And it might be helpful for figuring out how to close dinsional fissures without Exodia.

… but admittedly, Ti Magic is even more difficult than Space Magic. Space Magic makes so sense, but Ti Magic just breaks the rules of reality too much, so it is difficult to suspend my belief enough. But I think with ti, I can do it. I an, sothing like accelerating my own ti, or slowing my opponent's ti is sothing I should be able to do with so practice. It is the major ti warps that I really don’t like.
Co evening, I also got so news. Wilma’s evolution had finished and she had woken up. So of course I went to see her before I headed to bed.
When I got to the dbay, a few others were already there. Lua, Karl and Olia, as well as a few monsters in avatar dolls. Lua was working on checking out Wilma, while Karl was … I actually don’t know why he is here. Olia had brought so food for Wilma and had stayed for a bit.
I gently asked everyone but Lua to leave the room, just so we could have so privacy. Just so Wilma doesn’t have to show her status to outsiders. Actually, this will be the first ti Lua will see it, so that is a first. Well, she does have access to things I’ve recorded with the Factory terminals, so she may have taken a look at so point.
“Hey Wilma. How are you feeling?”
“... Really good, my Lord. I’m sorry I was out of service for an entire day.” Wilma quickly apologized.
“Don’t worry about it. It was kind of my fault.”
“No. I should have evolved faster.” Wilma insisted.
“Actually, from what I’ve heard, just a bit over a day spent in evolution is extrely fast. I an, even I was out for longer when I evolved.”
“Sa with .” Lua admitted.
“And our evolutions are considered fast, because we had optimal conditions. It can take multiple days to evolve if the conditions are worse.” I told Wilma sothing I’d learned from Laura. That was actually part of the reason I wanted to make the evolution pods.
“... Alright. … then thank you for taking care of while I evolved.”
“Of course. That is part of your benefits.” I told her, before I got to the serious business. “... so, your status. Could you show it to us?”
“... Yes, I will. … Status Open.”

“Craftswoman, huh? Fitting to say the least.” I comnted. “And you even got a racial skill. Congratulations.”
“... thanks.”
“Make sure you rest before you get back to work. So tomorrow, you’ll have a day off. No working. Make sure you are used to your increased stats and look over your body. Since you evolved, all of your blemishes and other skin issues should have disappeared, so if you don’t want them to return, maybe a visit to the spa will do you good.” I told Wilma. “You might also want a haircut, and perhaps a trim to your beard. They both grew out quite a bit during the evolution.”
“Y-Yes. I will. Thank you, My Lord.”
“Just Brian is fine.”
“Y-Yes, Brian. … thank you. You as well, Lady Lua.”
“Don’t lady , please.” Lua comnted.
“... yes. Lua. Thank you.”
