I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 297 Fiona the Minion (Part 2)

clap clap-

As the chair vibrated with the protruding "spiky clubs," Fiona's solid yet slightly ethereal face first flushed red, then turned deathly pale.

At that frequency and speed, people would definitely die, right?!
"That wretched Chrisel!"

She floated in the air and, in the process, punched Ron.

"Junior, what are you doing? Make it stop!"

The scene was incredibly dramatic. Ron's eyelids twitched slightly, and he pressed the red button again with his index finger.

The suspicious gear noise and the small mechanism in operation were all hidden and folded away, and no more horrific scene appeared.

"Are you two really friends?"

Ron glanced around and expressed his strong doubts.

But after thinking about the witch and the student council president, he suddenly understood something.

This is the Stardust Society's tradition, right?
He shook his head and turned his gaze to other things.

Seeing Ron's knowing look, Fiona felt her authority completely shattered and shouted:
"Junior, what are you thinking about?"

"Grandma, I'm popular. Isn't it normal for people to like me?"

"I was very popular back then!"

"Hey, don't go! I really had a lot of people chasing me back then."

Yes, yes, Grandma, you're the best!
Ron rolled his eyes, bent down, and saw a hole about ten centimeters in diameter.

Using the light of the holy magic to probe, he discovered that the hole ran through the entire Sky Castle.

For some reason, he felt that the mark looked familiar, so he pulled up his shirt and compared it with the fist mark on his body, and found that the two were almost identical.

“Ms. Fiona, the main control hub is likely broken, and given the urgency of the situation, the city’s levitation system may also have malfunctioned.”

While the "Transformation Technique" currently possesses the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous, comparable to the wonders of alchemy.

But Ron discovered an important problem—

He simply doesn't know how to fix it.

This is not ship repair; it's simply a matter of using the same alloy to repair the hull, connect pipes, and replace parts.

And it also has energy sources. Such a big thing can't rely on my magic to power it, can it?

Ron rose with a complicated expression and stepped onto the outside of the tower.

In the pitch-black world, only the frame-like lines pulsated slightly.

He pointed his finger in front of him, and countless rays of holy light, like the first rays of dawn, burst forth and flew in all directions, instantly illuminating the entire city.

The once intact "Sky Castle" was now distorted drastically and abnormally between the left-side urban area and the main structure. Countless gears were ejected from the junction, and dozens of broken pipes protruded from the ground.

Ron turned to Fiona, who was also somewhat dumbfounded, and asked solemnly:

"Ms. Fiona, can you fix this?"

"Uh"

This arrogant guy had no intention of admitting he didn't understand magical artifacts, so he could only stammer out:

"It's possible."

What do you mean by "can do"?

Ron frowned, then sighed dramatically:

"Even a respected elder like Grandma Fiona doesn't know this?"

"The historical records' assessment of your exceptional wisdom is far too exaggerated."

Nonsense! Utter rubbish! Utter nonsense!

Fiona blushed, never having been subjected to such sarcastic remarks before. She immediately slammed her hand on the tower wall and shouted:
"Ron Griffiths, don't underestimate me!"

"Grandma, let me tell you today, with my intelligence alone, I can fix the broken parts with just one glance!"

"Isn't something this simple? You can learn it just by looking at it once."

Upon hearing this, Ron gestured for him to proceed.

"But, on the other hand, I'm old, my eyesight is failing, and I also have Alzheimer's."

Seeing the smug look in the blond boy's eyes, Fiona was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

She discovered that this bastard was becoming increasingly disrespectful to her.

Am I just supposed to watch him get more and more smug, eventually bully his superiors, be ridiculed by him as a clown, and become an incorrigible nobody?
No, I absolutely will not allow it!
Calm down, Fiona, you can do it.

You can definitely imagine
In the blink of an eye, the magician with pale pink hair and dressed in a solemn and gorgeous robe suddenly froze on the spot.

next moment.

"Hahahaha"

A burst of extremely smug laughter came from Fiona's mouth.

"Young master, Grandma has an idea!"

She arrogantly raised her chin, regaining her composure, and hummed:
Want to know how?

"If you kowtow to Grandma a few times and kiss the tips of my shoes, maybe I'll soften and tell you!"

Ron curled his lip upon hearing this: "I think you didn't even think of anything and are just using this as an excuse, right?"

nonsense!

Perhaps it's because of her age, but Fiona can't stand this kind of sarcastic tone.

"Don't think I don't know you're trying to get information out of me using this method."

The arrogant senior gave a snort, then patted Ron's head with one hand before saying contentedly:
“I told you, Chrisel is a very cautious person, not only towards outsiders, but also towards herself.”

"My favorite thing to do is to prepare spare wands."

"She was the same with her research results, fearing that a fire in her dormitory might burn down the rare copy, so she made several backup copies."

“Look, she must have left a backup of the magical technology in a corner of Sky Castle, just like this research result.”

What a timid mouse! So insecure. What exactly happened to this inventor named Chrisel?

Hearing this, Ron breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked with a puzzled look:
"So, how can we find out where Ms. Chrisel's research notes are hidden?"

"Hmph, junior, you should be glad you came with your grandma, otherwise you would never have found it in your life."

"follow me."

As she spoke, Fiona took the lead, seemingly very familiar with the structure of the tower, and soon led Ron to the first floor.

"As expected, Chrisel even replicated this place."

She pointed to a striking book sculpture in the lobby on the first floor.

"Back in our day, this was the magic scroll tower of the Mage Guild, and very few people could get in."

"However, Chrisel and I sneaked in once, and in order to avoid the golem's detection, we even discovered a secret room."

"right here!"

Taking a few steps forward, Fiona came to the book statue and gently turned 180 degrees.

slam-la-

The sound of metal scraping against the floor came from below, and a metal door appeared beneath their feet.

Please say the password.

A semi-transparent projection is cast onto the book.

Ron clearly saw Fiona stiffen, obviously not expecting there to be another password door here.

"Well, it's just a minor problem."

Fiona coughed lightly and said:
"Uh, Fiona is the world's strongest?"

[Incorrect password]

"Fiona is the cutest in the world."

[Incorrect password]

Fiona likes Chrisel.

[Incorrect password]

Seeing this, Ron's lips twitched, and he grabbed the arrogant senior, coldly saying:

"I want to lick Fiona's feet."

[Password correct]

-

Ron no longer held any expectations for the people of Oran.

He just felt that the Vatican's doctrines were still too lenient.

So much so that among the Oran people, who have worshipped the "Holy Light God" for generations, there are still so many perverts. This truly made Ron break out in a cold sweat.

"You and I."

I treated you like a best friend, and you actually wanted to do this to me?

Fiona's face immediately flushed red at this extremely crude command.

"let's go!"

She gritted her teeth and took the lead into the hidden basement.

Seeing this, Ron followed closely behind, only to sigh with admiration in his heart.

The Oran people of over 1,300 years ago were ultimately not monstrous enough.

If this were today, it probably wouldn't be as simple as just licking feet.
The basement passageway wasn't very long, and soon the two of them, using the cold lights on both sides, discovered a spacious, dusty secret room.

Inside the secret room, there were metal bookshelves piled high with notes, and only the main aisle was barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

"If there really is technology related to Sky Castle, it is most likely here."

Fiona leaned forward and pulled a notebook from the bookshelf with unusual familiarity.

Blow away the dust, and the writing on it will be revealed.

Sky Castle Maintenance and Repair Manual (Backup 01)

As expected of a grandma, I found the most important content as soon as I picked it up!
Fiona was delighted and was about to boast to Ron when she saw him pick up a notebook from another bookshelf and blow off the dust.

Sky Castle Maintenance and Repair Manual (Backup 1)

So I got a backup of a backup!

A thought flashed through Fiona's mind, and she glanced at the twelve rows of bookshelves on her side, then hummed with delight:

"Junior, it seems that Chrisel left behind a lot of information."

"Grandma, I'll teach you a technique for learning quickly and multitasking."

Upon hearing this, Ron blinked and replied in a comic relief:

What kind of technique is it?

He was an exceptionally talented "demigod" archmage from childhood, and became even more exceptional as he grew up.

Fiona was naturally different from other ordinary mortals.

In terms of learning speed alone, it is dozens of times faster than others.

"Watch out, junior. I'll only teach you once."

After saying that, Fiona used her magic to pull out 42 manuals, including Backup 01 to Backup 042, from the backup bookshelf.

They flipped open their notebooks one by one, and used 42 streams of mental energy to quickly scan the knowledge on them.

The pages moved on their own without any wind, the rustling sound seemingly marveling at Fiona's terrifying learning speed.

"See? With my photographic memory, I can master all these books in just five hours."

Then it will be your turn to act according to my whims!
Fiona was overjoyed and couldn't help but hum an old folk tune.

"Okay, great!"

Ron was taken aback.

But as a peerless genius who takes perseverance, diligence, and hard work as his motto in life, he will not obediently surrender and admit defeat!

He gently turned the pages of the book in his hand and read it very carefully for five minutes.

[You are learning the Sky Castle Maintenance and Repair Manual. Your proficiency +1]

A vast amount of categorized knowledge surged into my mind.

With Ron's terrifying talent, he felt he had completely mastered the repair skill and didn't even need to look at the rest of the manual.

【Ultimate Magical Techniques (Beginner) 1/100】

Indeed, the knowledge in the repair manual can be considered a discipline in itself.

Ultimate magical techniques are similar to runic literature, magical theory, and so on.

However, Ron did not systematically upgrade the latter two; he merely passively acquired knowledge by reading books in his spare time.

At that moment, Ron gradually realized that countless auxiliary lines for calculation appeared before his eyes, allowing him to intuitively know the spacing between bookshelves, their perpendicular angle to the ground, and the area of ​​the shadow cast by the bookshelves on the ground under the light.

It seems that to truly create powerful magical artifacts, one still needs to learn or increase their proficiency...

With a sigh in his heart, Ron silently closed the book in his hand and put it back on the bookshelf.

Oh? Were you scared by me?

Despite learning at a speed 42 times faster than normal, Fiona still had the energy to pay attention to Ron.

Seeing that the other person had only flipped through a few pages before putting the manual back on the shelf, she finally felt a sense of triumph.

"Hehehe, junior, are you so shocked by my learning speed that you're ready to give up?"

Ms. Fiona, do you know that someone like you would have been trained in my past life?

"No, I have completely mastered the repair method."

Ron said honestly.

However, in this dark society, in this world where people don't trust each other, Ron's truth only earned him merciless ridicule.

"Haha, junior, stop making fun of your grandma."

"You haven't even opened the notes at the back, how could you possibly master all the repair methods?"

The arrogant senior didn't believe Ron's nonsense.

If you master all of them, Grandma will throw away all the books here!
Seeing this, Ron raised an eyebrow and said:

"If you don't believe me, madam, you can test it yourself."

Is it really that hard to acknowledge someone else's excellence?

Ha, I'd rather admit that Olivia is better than admit that you're such a despicable thing!

Fiona muttered to herself, her delicate face turning serious.

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just ask a few questions."

"If you can't answer, then lick my feet!"

After glancing at Fiona's plate-like figure, and the long, fair legs and high-heeled leather boots that Stardust Club inherited, he realized that...

Ron hesitated for a moment about whether or not to win.

"Alright, junior, let me ask you something. What does it say on page 26 of the 06 manual?"

"Repair and maintenance of the center drive bearing".

Ron answered calmly.

Fiona's light purple eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly picked up her notebook and flipped to the corresponding page, only to find everything going black.

You got it right!
How can this be! ?
He didn't even look at it!

Fiona felt a chill run through her hands and feet.

To ordinary geniuses, Fiona, the 'Crown of Stardust', is an untouchable heaven.

Ordinary people can only look up at her back; there is absolutely no way they can catch up with her.

More than 1,300 years ago, the previous president of the Mage Association described her as a monster among monsters.

They were practically born to be mages.

But more than 1,300 years later, Fiona encountered other monsters.

A terrifying monster that can be understood and used without even reading the entire manuscript!

This is impossible, it's not magic at all!
Thinking of this, she asked again, unwilling to give up:

What is written on page 58 of Manual No. 078?

"It is an application of the Sky Castle levitation system and stardust magic."

Fiona's face twitched, and she darted to the back of the bookshelf like a gust of wind, pulled out the corresponding book, and opened it to take a look.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and her face turned so serious it seemed like it could drip water.

The answers were exactly the same, not a single bit different.

"Ron, tell me honestly, did you cheat?"

"Did you use some kind of evil magic to imprint all the knowledge here into my brain without my noticing?"

"You prayed to an evil god, didn't you? Or did 'squinting' show you the answer!?"

"That's right, I know now. It must have been you who sacrificed yourself, offering your soul to the Compassionate Mistress, just to win against Grandma, right!?"

"Huh!? Tell me quickly!!!"

"Say it!!!"
