The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

After about twenty minutes of firing, the black and white Lila and Shiro figures were finally finished.

"Hmm, it really does look a lot like me."

However, just as I was about to gloat over my success, I seemed to hear Lila's voice behind me.

I turned my head and found Lila's face right next to me.

That moment startled me so much that I almost dropped the Lila and Shiro figurines on the ground.

Fortunately, I managed to catch it.

Otherwise, all my hard work would have been for nothing.

"Wow, Your Highness is really amazing."

As he spoke, Xiaobai couldn't help but clap his hands.

Perhaps I was too focused on carving, and I didn't realize that I couldn't possibly miss the two of them coming to my side.

"Hey, Lila, Xiaobai, why are you two awake?"

I couldn't help but ask, feeling ashamed.

"Hmph, how can we sleep if you don't? Honestly, I didn't expect you to be secretly pinching me and Xiaobai in the middle of the night... Just how much do you like us...?"

As she spoke, Lila's face flushed red, and she immediately left my sight and turned away.

"Haha, it's not just liking, it's love!"

Instantly, my face contorted in pain.

It's quite fun to tease Lila.

"Seriously, stop talking nonsense. Don't you see what time it is? Do you think you'll have the energy to fight and win a prize tomorrow? Hurry up and go back to sleep."

"Well, I see."

Looking at Lila, who was shy and a little sulky, I felt quite pleased.

However, the love I'm talking about isn't just talk; it's all serious. It's just that this little girl doesn't dare to admit it.

However, just as I got up and put the two clay figures into my pouch, a forbidden magical law suddenly flashed through my mind.

In other words, did I unintentionally learn some new trick?

However, now is not the time to look at it, because I'm afraid I might see some strange and unusual tricks that I'd want to try, so I'll stop here and go back to sleep.

It's not too late to see what kind of magic it is when I wake up tomorrow morning.

And so, exhausted, I soon fell asleep with Xiaobai and Lila.

I didn't dream that night, and I slept very soundly.

Perhaps it was because I was highly focused on making the clay figurine and used fire magic for twenty minutes straight, but anyway, I was full of energy the next morning.

In that case, let's see what kind of new magic this damned forbidden magic law has given me.

And so, I closed my eyes tightly and then used my will to force the spirit of the Forbidden Magic Catalogue to appear in front of me.

After I quickly finished reading it, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

This magic is actually... my first earth-attribute magic.

Unexpectedly, it was a mid-level magic called Clay Figure Shaping.

It seems that the lifelike Lila and Shiro figures I created directly triggered this magic.

Furthermore, this magic is still something that can be learned once and used for a lifetime!

Most importantly, her lifespan consumption is 0!

0, what a wonderful number.

This is like me getting a mid-level spell for free. It seems I can cast it without consuming my lifespan due to forbidden magic laws.

Since it was free, I didn't hesitate to memorize the incantation of that intermediate-level magic. Then, just like the sword I had learned before, that page of forbidden magic laws burst into flames and burned the entire page to ashes.

Although I really want to try this new intermediate-level spell, my earth-attribute magic is very weak, so even if I could cast it, its power would definitely be insufficient.

Therefore, I won't think about this ultimate move for now. If you want to test it, then we can test it during the Red-Clad Noble Ranking Battle.

The most important thing is to figure out how to successfully perform the fusion magic.

Therefore, it took a lot of effort to wake up the soundly sleeping Lila, then we ate breakfast and then went to school in the carriage with Elena and Roy.

This morning's lesson was a bit more advanced than the first-year curriculum, but I had already studied all of it. Although there were some things I hadn't heard of before, it was a good combination, so I listened very attentively and absorbed everything.

In the afternoon, the regular students went to Peach Demon King's physical and magical training class, while we red-clad nobles all gathered at the entrance of the Fifth Duel Arena, waiting for the teacher to introduce the venue and the competition details.

They will also distribute blueprints for the competition and showdown.

Actually, I just wish we didn't run into the student council president, the vice president, or that red-haired freshman like us.

So, the three of us took a deep breath and then looked at the blueprint for the duel in our hands.

Fortunately, the three of us somehow managed to avoid facing four people that none of us wanted to fight.

However, Elena faced off against a fifth-year red-clad noble, while I was a fourth-year student. Lila was the luckiest, as she only encountered a third-year red-clad noble, and one with many weaknesses who was very easy to defeat.

Seriously, Lila has always been incredibly lucky. We never expected that she would actually draw such a "lucky draw" in this lottery, which really surprised us both.

Fortunately, none of our opponents were particularly difficult to deal with. After having their information, we only needed to discuss how to handle them in the evening.

Since last-minute cramming may not be successful, it's better to use a more opportunistic approach.

Since we're almost done, we don't need to attend classes anymore; we just need to "rest well."

However, I still have important business to attend to.

So I sent Lila and Elena back to the castle first, while I went to the academy's great library to look for a method of fusion magic. I hoped to find some clues. It didn't need to be a perfect fusion, just something roughly fused would be fine.

Because I really don't want to keep wasting my lifespan casting spells ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Truth Behind Why Fusion Magic Fails

But I must say, the college's main library is not just big, it's ridiculously big.

Seriously, this is several times larger than the Great Library in Kloster Castle, it feels like much bigger.

Because the rest of the students are busy with their classes, the entire college library is deserted. You can hear the sound of your shoes hitting the floor just by walking around.

Apart from a few staff members organizing books, I've basically booked the whole place.

Now that I've booked the whole place, I can go ahead and search for the books on fusion magic I want.

First, I went to the front desk, found the number of the section for books related to magic, and then walked to the location where the book was placed, starting to search for the bookshelf about "special" magic one by one.

Sure enough, the bookcase was finally found in the last row in the corner.

Unfortunately, when I looked around, there were very few books on fusion magic. There seemed to be only three, and two of them were as thin as the palm of my hand.

However, even a few clues are still clues for learning, and since I have them, I must not give them up.

Because no matter what, as long as I master fusion magic, that is, my fire magic and lightning magic combined, I can definitely blast my opponent so badly that they forget their own name.

After I took down the two lower rows of books and read them for a while at the table next to me, I found that both books only briefly introduced the principles of fusion magic and warned of its dangers. They did not introduce how to use it, precautions, or the key points of the process of condensing magic power, which made me quite disappointed.

In other words, the only hope lies in that thickest book on the top shelf of this bookcase.

But... I'm not even 1.5 meters tall right now, and this bookshelf is about 3 meters high. Even if I stand on tiptoe, I can only touch the top shelf.

This is infuriating! Who put the bookshelf so high?! (〃＞皿＜)！

Isn't this bullying me because I'm short?!

Just when I was at my wit's end, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind me and placed its hand on the fusion magic book I wanted, and then took it away.

"Thanks……?"

The moment I turned my head back and thanked them, I froze.

Unexpectedly, it was... Vice Dean Cabinfen.

He smiled and took the book down from my hand and placed it in my hand.

"Vice Dean Cabinfen, what are you doing here...?"

At this moment, I couldn't help but reveal a very unnatural smile, and my left eyebrow trembled incessantly, because I really didn't notice Vice Dean Cabinfen coming up behind me at all.

And despite his enormous size, I didn't feel anything. So even though he was quite gentle with me, I always felt that he was a rather dangerous person.

"Haha, it's nothing, I was just passing by. Ivy, why are you looking up books about fusion magic?"

It seems he did discover it. In that case, I can only tell Vice Dean Cabinfen my general idea, because I really want to learn this fusion magic.

"Well... as you know, fusion magic is quite dangerous, basically ranking A-level in the danger level of magic practice (the danger level of magic practice is divided into seven levels: SS Nightmare, S Disaster, A High Risk, B Danger, C, D, and E. A-level academies generally discourage practicing or learning it). Because if you do something wrong during the learning process, you might only suffer minor injuries at best, but at worst you could be blown to pieces. So why do you still want to learn it?"

Indeed, even Vice Dean Cabinfen said it was quite dangerous, so it really was quite dangerous.

"But... I must master it."

At this moment, I couldn't help but clench my fists. Because of the forbidden magic laws, I couldn't cast intermediate-level magic, except for the intermediate-level magic of clay figure shaping. No matter what, I had to learn it and master its use.

"Alright then, Ivy, since you're so determined, come with me."

Without another word, Vice Dean Cabinfen turned around and walked deeper into the college's main library, and I followed him with a puzzled look on my face.
