Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

At this moment, Westin's facial expression began to inexplicably distort, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes revealed a kind of crazy obsession and excitement for something.

"How are you?"

Xia Jian's magical power surged, and he cautiously asked Westin.

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

Westin raised his distorted, grotesque face and said with a sinister smile.

The voice sounded the same as before, with nothing amiss, but the strange appearance sent chills down Xia Jian's spine.

"Damn it, you're a complete idiot! This is unbelievable!"

Xia Jian cursed inwardly, then said to Westin, "Close the book."

Westin obediently closed the black book, and the strange expression on his face disappeared as the book closed.

Xia Jian stroked his chin, carefully examining Westin, but his mental scan revealed nothing wrong.

Strange!

Very strange!

"Teacher, is there a problem?"

Westin was full of questions, not understanding what Xia Jian meant.

Seeing that Westin looked perfectly normal, Natsumi was a little confused.

Am I seeing things?

"Looks like I really shouldn't stay up late anymore."

After a moment's thought, Xia Jian ordered Westin to open the black book again, this time to see clearly what was going on.

But as Westin opened the black book, that eerie, twisted smile reappeared on his face.

Xia Jian glanced at the black book out of the corner of his eye and found that the black pages inside were blank, just like an ordinary blank book.

Looking into Westin's eyes, which were filled with a mixture of longing and excitement, Natsumi couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He secretly guessed that only the person holding the black book could see its contents.

There are quite a few books on such advanced technology in the wizarding world, but what does Westin's expression mean? Just how captivating must the contents of the book be for someone to show such a perverted look?

Could it be that Westin is the protagonist of this world?

Summer unconsciously began to let her mind wander.

In middle age, one encounters a miracle, gains a fortuitous encounter, and then soars to great heights, crushing all the geniuses and prodigies.

"A prodigy? That's me! How can this be!"

Thinking of this, Xia Jian ordered Westin to close the book and handed him the black book.

During this time, Westin did not exhibit any abnormal behavior and obediently placed the black book on the experimental table in front of Natsumi.

Xia Jian frowned deeply.

Something is wrong!

For a moment, I couldn't quite figure out what went wrong.

Xia Jian wanted to open the black book to take a look, but she was afraid that there might be a trap inside.

Westin's strange expression lingered in Xia Jian's mind; it would be strange if there wasn't something wrong with it!

After thinking about it, Xia Jian decided it was best to have someone else do it for him: "What did you just read in the book? Write it down so I can see."

Westin gave Natsume a strange look, then took out some paper from his spatial bag.

But the moment the pen tip touched the paper, Westin seemed to be paused, frozen in place, completely motionless.

Xia Jian snapped his fingers, waking Westin from his daze.

"What's wrong? Hmm? Why am I holding a pen?"

Westin looked at the pen in his hand with some confusion, as if he had forgotten what Xia Jian had just instructed him to do.

"Weren't you going to write down the contents of the book for me?"

Seeing this, Xia Jian became wary and spoke cautiously.

"Really? Then I'll do it right away..."

Westin hadn't finished speaking and remained in the same position, frozen in place.

Xia Jian looked Westin over and couldn't figure out what the problem was. Even his mental fluctuations didn't seem to have changed.

When Westin was woken up again, he still had that bewildered expression, as if he had completely forgotten what had just happened.

Xia Jian then changed the subject, asking about the unknown rune array on the glass cage.

Westin seemed to have nothing to hide as he recounted the process of inscribing the rune array.

However, whenever the topic turned to the runes in the array, Westin would inexplicably skip over the runes and continue talking about the creation process.

Next, Xia Jian tested Westin to recite the contents of the black book.

Westin, however, seemed to have pressed the mute button, and the sounds he made appeared to be audible only to himself.

It's as if some unknown force is interfering with Westin.

Sensing that something was amiss, Natsumi stopped Westin from continuing his rambling and began to consider what to do next.

The black book must contain something, but under normal circumstances, witnesses cannot describe its contents and do not object to handing the black book over to others.

Xia Jian fell into deep thought, unsure of what to do with the black book.

"Give it to Heramons?"

Although the idea was good, Natsumi felt a little unwilling, thinking that it must contain some "good stuff".

If I can master its contents, perhaps I can become a powerful wizard!

Wizard? Powerful?

Thinking of this, Xia Jian suddenly woke up, his back already soaked with sweat.

With my powerful '+1' talent, becoming stronger is only a matter of time. Why would I place my hopes on a book whose contents I don't even know?

Moreover, he has always kept his distance from danger, let alone after what happened to Mu Shuang. Taking the risk of flipping through the black-covered book was not a wise choice.

When Xia Jian looked warily toward the spot where he had just placed the black book, he was shocked to find that the black book was in his hand!

When did this happen?

Xia Jian was startled and dropped the book on the ground.

Today was truly unbelievable. I just wanted to do my research properly, but all this crap happened!

Westin, looking puzzled, picked up the black book.

After asking around, Xia Jian learned that he had taken the black book himself!

However, as a staunch materialist, Natsume was certain that he had absolutely no intention of taking the black book just now!

"Take the book, let's go to the principal's office."

Without much thought, Xia Jian said to Westin with a gloomy expression,

Regardless of whether there's anything good in the book, this sudden action alone is enough to scare him half to death. It's safest to leave it to those powerful wizards to handle.

Westin scratched his head. As an honest man, although he didn't know what Natsume wanted to do, he still decided to do as Natsume asked.

…………

The two rushed to the office, only to find that Herammons was not there.

After asking other teachers, Xia Jian learned that Herammons had gone out on business, and even the vice principal, Rita, was not at school.

"What a coincidence!"

Standing at the door of the principal's office, Xia Jian couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Xia Jian was hesitant to hand the Black Book over to others, and for a moment he didn't know what to do with it.
