Wizards begin with Occlumency.

"Find a way to raise them!"

Jasmine's expression was complicated. After a long silence, she said, "Take good care of her! If Christina doesn't come back, at least take care of her until I finish my studies."

Of the five teenagers who came from the Quetzalcoatl Islands, Chris died young, Christina met with misfortune, and Jimny did not survive and died a tragic death.

Christina finally got her revenge and went to great lengths to protect her daughter, but her suffering didn't end there. Now, she's encountered some trouble and has to entrust her daughter to Link.

A hemp rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds those who are unfortunate.

Jasmine was truly saddened by their different life experiences.

At the same time, Jasmine felt a faint sense of relief.

I'm glad I made those choices in the past, starting with deciding to enter Rivolius College, and many other choices that followed.

"Yes, boss."

Even though Betty was a little unsure how to raise a baby girl who was only a few months old, she readily agreed.

After hanging up the cross-border encrypted communication, Betty thought it over carefully and decided to make arrangements for the quiet and cute little baby girl in front of her through the "freedom to do anything" channel.

Learn to make good use of the power of the team; this is something the big boss used to tell them.

Betty closed the life support box lid, picked it up, went downstairs, and drove straight to the headquarters.

"Hey Betty, what brings you back again? Did you forget something? Let me know and I'll bring it to you."

Dijer was just about to go out on errands when he ran into Betty at the headquarters entrance. He immediately greeted her warmly, saying, "There was no need to go back again, it was too much trouble!"

"snort!"

Betty rolled her eyes, ignoring Dijk Finley, who insisted on taking Mina Havelch with him wherever he went to work, and headed straight into headquarters.

"You're still angry! It's been like this for so long!"

Dijer looked at Betty's retreating figure without stopping, scratched his head, and really didn't know what to do.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand why Betty treats him so differently.

After entering "Freedom to Do Anything," Mina Haveczek, who had been diligently and focused on her intelligence work, watched this scene unfold without any emotional reaction.

She had no interest in Dijk and had never flirted with him, so she had nothing to be ashamed of.

Betty only targeted the straight-laced Dijk; she never went after Mina, nor did she team up with other members to isolate her.

Therefore, Mina watched the show with peace of mind, never getting involved in any trouble.

He never even considered reminding his "boss," Dijer, of the reason Betty was angry with him.

What if it's a thankless task?

"Let's go take a walk around the South District."

Only after Betty was out of sight did Deejee remember his real business. "I don't know what's going on lately, but the City Defense Bureau and the Security Bureau seem to have gone blind, letting so many Shadow City and Mesopotamian University spies in. Whatever they're doing, they better not involve us!"

Mina said calmly, "It's already involved us. Latest news: someone was loitering around our factory yesterday, scouting the area."

"What are they trying to spy on? Medicine? Tea? Or tea drinks?"

As he walked towards the second-ring vehicle that the big boss had given him, Dije asked, "Could you find a way to get someone to find out what's going on?"

Mina shook her head: "The other side are all veterans, very vigilant, and they haven't left any loopholes that can be exploited."

"Yeah?"

After thinking for a moment, Dijon instructed, "Notify the other departments of this news and make sure everyone is on high alert."

"clear."

Mina nodded in agreement.

The two had already reached Dijon's vehicle and sat in the driver's seat and passenger seat, one on the left and one on the right.

Betty watched through the glass window from the upstairs hallway as Dijon drove Mina away from headquarters, and sighed.

She must be the one who understands Sage Celine the most, right?

However, this kid Dije is still far inferior to the Sage Paro back then.

After expressing her feelings, Betty turned around, picked up her life support kit, and headed straight for the deputy general manager's office.

Boom, boom, boom.

After knocking a few times, Betty pushed the door open and went in.

"What's up?"

Lynn looked up at Betty, his attention drawn from the documents.

"Um."

Betty picked up the life support box and shook it gently. "It's a hassle. I won't go into details, just take a look for yourself."

With that, Betty placed the life support box on the desk and pushed it in front of Lynn.

"it is good."

Lynn responded, opened the life support box, and saw the little girl with her big, dark eyes blinking, not crying or making a fuss, sitting quietly.

Lynn picked up the envelope from the baby girl's swaddling clothes, took out the letter, read it carefully, and asked, "What are the boss's or Boss's orders?"

The fact that the letter had been opened proves that Betty had contacted the boss and/or the big sister before returning to headquarters and obtained permission and instructions.

"The boss instructed us to find a way to raise her, to raise her well, until she finishes her studies, if Christina doesn't come back."

Betty relayed Jasmine's words.

"Emmm..."

After some thought, Lynn considered that most of the members of "freedom to do whatever they want" were relatively young.

It's already good enough if they can take care of themselves; we can't expect them to be able to raise a baby girl who's only a few months old.

However, there is indeed a suitable candidate to whom I can entrust this task.

"Come with me."

After thinking for a moment, Lynn got up, picked up the life support kit, and walked to the office next door.

Betty followed immediately.

Lynn and Betty knocked on the door of the general manager's office and entered.

Asander stared blankly at the open life support box in Lynn's hand, then at the adorable baby girl lying inside. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Whose is it?"

Lynn handed over the letter and explained, "The big boss's fellow villager has run into trouble and entrusted his son to someone."

Asander glanced at the letter and muttered to himself, "Shadow City?"

He suddenly remembered a message he had received a few days ago.

The Shadow City seems to have discovered a rather special world and has organized a group of first-level wizards to explore it.

The Wizarding World discovers countless new worlds every year that are open to exploration.

Not to mention, a low-level civilized world that only a level one wizard can pioneer is simply not worth mentioning.

But there's no smoke without fire.

The fact that Shadow City pioneered a low-level civilization world allowed news to reach the city of Rivosos.

That pioneering world was clearly extraordinary.

If he wasn't mistaken, this person named Christina must have been conscripted to that less advanced civilization to participate in pioneering work.

Coming to his senses, Asander looked at the young boy and girl in front of him, who did not appear childish but had youthful faces, and immediately understood the meaning of bringing the baby girl to him.

They've come looking for a stay-at-home dad.

"You guys go back first, I'll handle this."

Asander did not hesitate and decisively took over the matter.

"This is troublesome."

Lynn made a polite remark and left the general manager's office with Betty.

After playing with the quiet baby girl for a while, Asander took out his personal smart device and contacted Renee, who had not yet returned to the academy headquarters.

"Why are you looking for me now?"

The day after the wedding, Asander returned to work at "Freedom to Do Anything," while Renee was also busy, accompanying Sage Celine on a property inspection.

There are properties owned by Sage Serene personally, as well as new properties established and acquired by Ella in the name of the Pharmacy Teaching and Research Group with Sage Serene's permission.

"Do you have time? Come over here."

Asander pointed the camera at the baby girl and the opened letter. "Look, what's this?"

Renee exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the baby girl appearing on the screen, "Wow! What an adorable little baby!"

After she finished speaking, Renee noticed the three lines on the letter.

"Is this intended for us to raise?"

Renee asked with a hint of hope.

Even if she were to return to the main campus of the academy tomorrow, she couldn't actually take the baby girl with her and hand her over to Link and Molly.

Outsiders who want to enter the main campus must go through an approval process, which is very complicated.

Given the baby girl's situation, it's highly unlikely that this would be allowed.

Therefore, it's clear that Asander had this intention when he showed her the baby girl.

"Would you like to raise it?"

Asander asked with a smile.

"think!"

Renee immediately gave an affirmative reply.

"Then let's raise it!"

Asander made a decisive decision: "I'll take her back right now."

"Okay, I'll go home in a bit."

Renee replied excitedly.

The two hung up the call.

Assande finished up his work and took the baby girl home.

After their wedding yesterday, the couple were still thinking about when they could have a child while they were resting last night.

Both of them were already level three wizards, so having a child wouldn't be easy.

Especially in the current situation, with both of them focused on their own careers, they don't have much time to have children.

What a coincidence! A baby girl came today, and we decided to adopt her.

What?

No blood relation?

Since it's adoption, what does blood relation matter?

The main campus of the college.

When Link returned from finishing the "Construction" project in the fairy world, he found Jasmine sitting in the living room with her brows furrowed.

One look at that expression and you know something must have happened.

"What's wrong?"

He walked over and sat down next to Jasmine, asking softly, "Tell me about it?"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine told Link everything about Christina entrusting her child to someone else and about the baby girl being adopted by Asander and Renee.

"Hmm?"

After listening to Jasmine's story, Link frowned.

Upon returning to his home country yesterday, Link sent an email to Christina to inquire about the mother and daughter's situation.

No response was received.

I was entrusted with my orphanage today!

"Let Asander and his family support them for now."

After thinking for a while, Link made a decision: "In my personal name, I will allocate a sum of magic stones to Asander as child support."

"Um."

Jasmine nodded, not rushing to pay.

There's no difference between Link coming out and her coming out.

Anyway, Link's income is now managed by her.

Let's not think about this for now, let's leave it at that.

Link took a deep breath, suppressing the matter of Christina entrusting her orphanage, and also hoping that Jasmine would stop thinking about it.

There's no point in dwelling on things that are beyond our reach or control; it's better to focus on ourselves.

"Um."

Jasmine nodded, got up and walked towards the dining room. "Let's eat."

Dinner began and ended in silence.

After dinner, Jasmine didn't chat with Link over tea; instead, she went straight upstairs to her bedroom.

My mood has been fluctuating a lot these past few days, so I'll spend some more time alone to calm myself down.

Link entered the study, took out the smart butler to receive the package, and placed the Zerg evolution radiation source in the study's safe.

It took nearly two months from placing the order to shipping and delivery.

If this speed were in Link's previous life, he would be roasted to death!

He took a box the size of a 14-inch laptop out of the safe, opened it, and revealed a hundred insectoid evolution radiation sources the size of fingernails inside. The "small world" immediately trembled.

"Flandre".

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Link called out in his mind.

"Yes, sir."

Flandre responded sweetly, then added with a complaint, "Flandre will definitely protect Master's precious tea tree. I don't know why Master likes to drink this bitter and astringent stuff."

"You'll gradually come to like it if you drink it a few more times."

Link advised earnestly.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because once this matter was brought up, Flandre recalled the experience of being tricked by Link into trying rock tea with her master.

That bitter and astringent feeling, that indescribable discomfort, immediately triggered a physiological reaction.

It turns out that Flandre's nature is vastly different from that of humans in the wizarding world.

The tea that Link cultivated, planted, and processed based on the taste buds of humans in the wizarding world is not suitable for a being like Flandre.

"Master is so annoying!"

Flandre put her hands on her hips, glared at the sky, and then sullenly went to carefully protect all the tea leaves.

Even if the "small world" absorbs enough Zerg evolution radiation and undergoes a qualitative change, altering the environment and landform, it will not damage the tea trees.

Seeing that Flandre was ready, Link put all one hundred Zerg evolution radiation sources into the "small world".

Just like last time, the Zerg evolution radiation source split into two parts, going in two directions.

The heavy and turbid substance sinks to the ground, while the light and clear ethereal energy floats towards the sun.

Then the old scene reappeared.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, in the celestial structure of the "Solar System" in the "Great Universe Meditation Method," the "Sun," which is mainly formed by the favor of the wizarding world's will, exudes an irresistible attraction.

The light and pure ethereal energy is taken away from the great sun in the "small world".

One hundred Zerg evolution radiation sources were instantly absorbed and digested by the "small world" and the "sun" in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Not only did it not burp, but it didn't even splash a drop of water.

Fortunately, Link was prepared and took out another box from the safe.

He ordered a full 500 Zerg evolution radiation sources!

The Beastmaster organization in the North that sells the Zerg evolution radiation source even sent a letter to Rivosos Academy to confirm that Link was a member of the academy before arranging the shipment.

Box after box.

It wasn't until the "small world" and the "sun" in the sea of ​​consciousness had consumed more than four and a half boxes, totaling 485 insectoid evolution radiation sources, that the accumulation of quantitative changes finally led to the qualitative change.

The gravity of the "small world" has fully taken shape, and the fourth evolution has been completely completed. It is no longer the "false fullness" state described by Flandre.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the celestial structure of the "Great Universe Meditation Method" underwent even more astonishing changes.

The "sun," which is mainly formed by the favor of the wizarding world's will, has already absorbed many good things, such as the rune structure of the "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method" and the "radiation" concept that promotes the evolution of life from the Zerg evolution radiation source, but it is still not satisfied.

A powerful suction force, unlike anything Link had ever felt before, emanated from the core of the "Sun," searching throughout his mind for what the "Sun" needed.

Wherever the powerful suction passed, even the already formed celestial structure of the "solar system" was deformed.

Even though things quickly returned to normal, the process felt like a stick was churning inside Link's brain, which was very uncomfortable.

After enduring it for a while, seeing that the "sun's" powerful suction was not giving up and even tending to increase its suction because it could not find what it needed, Link simply activated the "brain shut-off technique" to block out the strange sensation in his mind.

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

Just as Link activated "Brain Occupy"...

The "Sun" is like a cheetah that has been lying in wait for a long time and has finally spotted its prey. Its powerful suction is like the cheetah's sharp teeth and teeth, and it bites down hard on the "Brain Occlusion Technique"!

The system panel, which hadn't appeared for a long time, reappeared in Link's vision.

A warning message was displayed in bright red font.

【Incorrect command!】

【Incorrect command!】

[Forced hibernation program activated!]

[Forced hibernation program activated...]

[Forced hibernation program activation failed!]

【Incorrect command!】

【Incorrect command!】

[Refuse to comply!]

[Refuse to comply!]

【reject……】

In less than a second, the system issued more than a dozen prompts.

Link seemed to hear a sizzling sound, and the system panel suddenly disappeared, no longer refreshing, and returned to calm.

It's as if they've never come out.

The powerful suction of the "sun" pulled the unknown object back at high speed.

A moment later, all the celestial structures in the "solar system" within the sea of ​​consciousness—planetary, dwarf planet, satellite, comet, and so on—collapsed toward the "sun."

The "sun" suddenly emitted a burst of light and exploded with a loud bang.

The radiance dissipated, leaving the sea of ​​consciousness empty; the "solar system" was nowhere to be seen.

Only a tiny black dot remained in the position of the "sun".

"Master, master, save me! Please save me!"

Flandre's voice echoed in Link's mind, filled with urgency.

I don't know what happened in the "small world" that could endanger Flandre, who is a "world spirit"!

Link, who had lost his ability to think the moment the "Sun," formed by the will of the wizarding world, bit into his brain under the "Occupy Central" spell, returned to normal in time.

The moment Flandre's voice rang out, she was summoned from the "small world" to the real world.

This process will inevitably pass through the sea of ​​consciousness.

Just as the passage between the "small world" and the sea of ​​consciousness opened, the black light spot formed by the collapse of the "solar system" entered at a speed that Link could not stop at all.

"Phew! That scared Flandre to death!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Flandre patted her chest, still shaken by the near-death experience. She quickly recovered and began to complain, "Master, what were you doing?! The sun in the 'Little World' exploded! Flandre almost got blown up!"

"I don't know yet, let's wait and see."

Link looked grave, equally shaken.

He could sense that the dramatic changes in his sea of ​​consciousness and the "small world" posed no threat to him.

However, from the moment the "sun," which is mainly formed from the will of the wizarding world, began to exert a strong suction force, the feeling of things going out of Link's control was not pleasant.

"Huh!"

Flandre then bounced around a few times, pinched her arm, sniffed, and exclaimed, "Master, Master, the real world isn't rejecting me anymore! What's going on?"

Previously, Link could summon Flandre to the real world, and Flandre could move freely in the real world.

However, whether it is the wizarding world or the fairy world that the wizarding world's will has influenced, there is a faint repulsive force acting on Flandre.

If Flandre does anything outrageous, such as launching a deadly attack or damaging the natural environment, she will be banished immediately.

On the contrary, special ruin worlds and level 3 insectoid worlds have no repulsive force.

Now that Flandre no longer senses the repulsive force of the Academy's main world, what does that mean?

This means that Link's "small world" has been completely incorporated into the system of the wizarding world's will!

As the "spirit" of the "small world", Flandre is no longer considered an outsider and will no longer be ostracized.

The thoughts about the "small world" and Flandre's changes flashed through Link's mind quickly, and he stopped paying close attention to them.

There are only two things he wants to figure out right now:

First, what should be the next step for the "Great Universe Meditation Method"? Second, what exactly was taken from the system by the "Sun" or the will of the wizarding world?

My mind is not completely calm yet, so I'll put meditation aside for now.

"system."

Link called out softly in his heart.

The unadorned system panel quietly appeared, just like always.

Link Grand

Wizarding Aptitude: Unknown, All Elemental Affinity

Wizard Level: Unknown; Mental Strength: Unknown

0rd Ring Sorcery: (omitted)

Innate Sorcery: Armor (Expandable)

1rd Ring Sorcery: (omitted)

2rd Ring Sorcery: (omitted)

Card Pack: None

Used: Alchemy Specialization Talent Card, Sorcery Specialization Talent Card, Materials Specialization Talent Card

Card draw count: 0 (1 standard Tier 3 Magic Stones)

With just a glance, Link noticed the changes in the system.

The "Brain Occupation Technique" learning cards and the "Multi-Threaded Thinking" status cards have all disappeared.

Moreover, not only is the wizard's aptitude "unknown", but the wizard's level and mental strength have also become "unknown"!

These changes are important, but even more important is the deeper meaning they embody.

The system is nothing in the face of the will of the Wizarding World!

With just two Wizarding World Wills' favor, even if they were to bite into "Occlumency" in the instant, they might be able to snatch the "Occlumency" learning card and the "Multi-Threaded Thinking" status card from the system by leveraging the status of the Wizarding World Wills!

"Finally, finally!"

Faced with this fact, Link was not afraid but rather pleased.

When Link learned of the power of the Wizarding World's will, he had a premonition that this day would come.

Now that the dust has settled, there's no need to guess how it will settle.

Having confirmed the changes in the system, Link refocused his attention on his sea of ​​consciousness, meditation, and the "small world."

The moment his mental energy entered his sea of ​​consciousness, he was completely stunned.

The sea of ​​consciousness is the "small world," and the "small world" is the sea of ​​consciousness.

The two have merged into one! (End of Chapter)
