Wizards begin with Occlumency.

The delivery went very smoothly.

A level three wizard's physique is sufficient to overcome any adverse factors that might cause a difficult birth.

A loud cry rang out from the delivery room.

The Grand family welcomed its first member of the new generation native to the Wizarding Continent: a baby girl.

Yes, Link and Jasmine's first child was a daughter.

Link and Molly already knew this, and they told Dean Forrest, as well as the Great Sages Rivo and Soth behind him.

Jasmine did not conceive twins.

Furthermore, the true spirit of Saint Nostrodam could never be reborn as a female infant.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Link, Dean Forrest, and the great sages Rivo and Soth determined through various channels and the will of the wizarding world that the resurrection of the Saint of Nostrodam was only related to Jasmine's childbirth.

But it wasn't that she was reincarnated into Jasmine's belly!

The highest level of deception is to first deceive yourself, making yourself genuinely believe the lies you've woven.

In order to attract the attention of other wizards and forces, and to distract the attention of Sage Michel, who was eager to become a saint.

The Great Sage Soth intervened, using the methods of a True Spirit Wizard to alter the understanding of everyone within the Rivo-Soth Academy who knew about the resurrection of Saint Nostrodam and Jasmine's birth, including the Great Sage Rivo and the Great Sage Soth.

They came to believe from the bottom of their hearts that the true spirit of Saint Nostrodam was very likely reincarnated as the baby in Molly Kidman's womb.

Only in this way can we achieve a flawless result.

Only then can the attention of those wizards and forces be drawn to Link and Molly's offspring.

This would provide cover for Nostrodam's resurrection.

The reason is super simple.

The Great Sage Rivo has not even been promoted to the ninth level of Great Sage, so how could he have become a Saint?

Rather than helping those who want to seize the reincarnated Saint of Nostrodam from the Rivosos Academy through forceful means, such as the ninth-level Great Sage Michelle, it would be better to curry favor with the Saint of Nostrodam himself.

Even if the Saint of Nostrodam were to reincarnate and regain his Sainthood, it would take time and not be easy.

If you can't have it yourself, don't let others have it either. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have it together?

Immediately after Jasmine completed her delivery, the Great Sage Soth's cognitive alteration spell automatically dissipated.

Dean Forrest, who was advancing to the seventh level of the Great Sage, along with Rodrigo Diomand, Rosenthal, Waters, and Cowell Ludwell, who were supporting his advancement, almost simultaneously "remembered" the truth of the matter.

Rodrigo, Rosenthal, Waters, and Cowell all broke into uncontrollable smiles.

This situation is... I don't know how to evaluate it.

They actually used them as pawns, and even as decoys to mislead their opponents.

Dean Forrest then realized what was happening and seized the opportunity to briefly open his own personal world, allowing the secretly observing wizards to confirm a fact.

That is, Jasmine Kidman has already given birth, and what she gave birth to was only Link Grand and her offspring, not the baby reincarnated from the spirit of the Saint of Nostrodam.

The will of the wizarding world bears witness to this, and the wizards who were secretly observing could not find any point to question it.

One can only marvel at how beautifully Rivoss College has laid out this mystery.

It dragged everyone into it.

Of course, they would also secretly curse the saints for being shameless, whether it was the five saints of the Supreme Council or the four saints who had already perished and merged into the will of the wizarding world.

Even though it was already decided that the Saint of Nostrodam would be successfully resurrected, some level-nine sages who couldn't find their way forward and were nearing the end of their lives were allowed to vie for the position of the mystical wizard saint.

This has led to the current situation.

At the same time, golden rain fell throughout the wizarding world.

This is the will of the wizarding world celebrating the return of the Saint of Nostrodam.

It is also a reward for the four immortal saints who defended the wizarding world and made sacrifices.

Furthermore, it was a declaration to all the ninth-level sages within the wizarding world who aspired to become saints: it wasn't that they were forbidden from becoming saints, but rather that they were forbidden from seizing the saintly positions of the four lost but soon-to-be-revived wizarding schools.

Do you want to become a saint?

you can!

Either create your own school of thought capable of producing saints, or venture into parallel universes to find a way out.

The five saints of the High Council soon spread the word, recognizing the merit of the Rivosos Academy in bringing the Nostrodam saints back to the wizarding world.

The three great sages, Michel, Rivo, and Soth, who were locked in a fierce battle in the void, were mediated by the saints of the West Coast.

The war between Rivosos Academy and the Tower of the Great Sage Michel was also abruptly halted.

Upholding the will of the five saints, the Supreme Council made an arbitration decision:

Starting tomorrow, the Michel District will be renamed the Rivosos District. The Michel Grand Sage Tower, as one of the first forces to enter the parallel universe, will set off on an expedition within a limited time.

In short, Rivoss Academy has won big this time.

In the wizarding world, there are no losers except for Archsage Michael and his Tower of Archsage Michael.

As for the whereabouts and condition of the resurrected Saint Nostrodam...

Whether it was the ninth-level sage and his forces who had coveted the position of the mystical wizard saint, or wizards and forces who were just here to watch the show or hoping to pick up some scraps, they all tacitly refrained from investigating.

Even within the Rivoss Academy, from the great sages of Rivo and Soth to Sandra Diomand, no one inquired about this matter.

The Great Sages Rivo and Soth returned from the void and announced only one thing: Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Academy of Revosos on its victory in the war against the Tower of the Great Sage Michel.

Congratulations to Rivosos Academy for replacing the Tower of the Great Sage of Michel and successfully renaming the Michel District to Rivosos District, thus avoiding the trouble of building another district;

Congratulations to Rosenthal, Waters, and Forrest, three seventh-level archsages, on their successful ascension to the rank of Grand Sage.

Congratulations on the addition of Cowell Ludwell, a seventh-rank sage;

Celebrate everything that is worth celebrating.

At the grand victory banquet held at the main campus of Rivosos Academy, fourth, fifth, and sixth-level sages, as well as seventh-level grand sages, gathered together.

Link stood on a terrace, holding a glass of sparkling wine that resembled champagne, gazing up at the starry sky, recalling what happened when Jasmine gave birth.

The moment his daughter with Jasmine was born, the "Twin" contract card, whose effect had been altered at some point, came into play.

The innate vitality that a new life possesses at birth is transformed from one into two.

The original portion fell into Link and Jasmine's daughter's body, causing the newborn to cry loudly upon entering the world, announcing her arrival.

The other one, following the connection of the "Twin" contract card, penetrated deep into Link's soul and then combined with a mysterious source of rules that existed in the form of a pay-to-win gacha system.

After the two were combined, they immediately separated from Link's soul, leaving only the "Mystic Talent" and "Materials Talent".

Well……

Strictly speaking, the "Brain Occupation" and "Multi-Threaded Thinking" status cards, which were favored and absorbed by the will of the wizarding world, also remained.

Therefore, from its appearance, the combination of innate vitality and the source of mysterious rules is missing a corner.

Link could even sense a very unpleasant emotion emanating from the composite object that was missing a corner.

That emotional fluctuation was extremely similar to the silhouette that appeared after the withered bone fragments entered the real "small world".

As expected, from the very beginning, Link carried the resurrection contingency plans of the Saint of Nostrodam, and not just one or two.

There are actually several.

No sooner said than done.

Link's gaze followed the composite entity that was missing a corner. Taking advantage of the moment when Dean Forrest opened his innate world, he pierced through space and arrived at a familiar yet unfamiliar place.

The composite object, missing a corner, landed on the head of a child of about six years old, constantly attracting various shapes from all directions.

When nothing new came, a white, smooth bone fragment emerged from between the eyebrows of the child, who was about six years old.

The composite body, missing a corner, was filled with various oddly shaped objects that lined up and crawled into the white, smooth bone fragments.

In a short while, the white bone fragment changed its appearance, becoming a regular N-sided polyhedron that was almost spherical, and fell back into the forehead of the six-year-old child.

Not far from the child, who was about six years old, Mrs. Grand was knitting, while Mr. Grand was enjoying his meal.

Link also overheard Mrs. Grand muttering, "Nostrov is growing up so fast, there aren't enough clothes for him."

As Mr. Grand chewed on his delicious veal steak, he mumbled a complaint: "If we don't have enough clothes, we'll just buy more. We have more money than we can spend. After we regained our youth, who on the island doesn't know that the wizard who came last year was Link? Who on the island would dare to offend us now? Nosterlo just grows faster than other two- or three-year-olds, so what? We can afford to raise him."

Upon hearing this, Link's gaze was cut off.

The last image I saw was of Link's younger brother in this life, a child of about six years old whom the old Grand couple called "Nostro," with his calm eyes that shone like the stars.

At that moment, Link understood everything.

The withered bone fragments were given to Lady Lisandra by the great sage Michelle, who used them to set a trap, intending to teach Dean Forrest a lesson.

For some reason, Dean Forrest summoned Link to rescue Lady Lisandra, and then insisted that Link possessed the resurrection secret of the Saint of Nostrodam.

Later, the withered bone fragments were absorbed by Link into the real "small world" that was then destroying the world.

Thunder, representing life, is above, and flames, representing destruction, are below. Withered bone fragments lie in the middle, eventually returning to their original white and smooth appearance.

The figure of Saint Nostrodam appeared, letting out a sigh.

It is likely that by then, the true spirit of Saint Nostrodam had returned from the river of time and space and had begun to truly begin the work of resurrection.

Perhaps Link's decisive decision to abandon the real "small world" caused the disruption.

Perhaps not.

In short, let's calculate the time.

The time when the real "small world" was transferred to the sage Rosenthal is roughly the same as the time when Link's younger brother in this life, the "Nostro" mentioned by the old Grand couple, was born.

If Link's guess is correct, and abandoning the real "small world" interfered with the resurrection of the Saints of Nostrodam, then everything that followed can be made clear.

The saint was forced to abandon the resurrection operation that had already begun, hastily reincarnated, and then rearranged his plans to reclaim his power.

For example, Link's pay-to-win gacha system, and all the things that are attracted from all directions.

The only thing Link couldn't understand was why it had to be the time when his child was born.

Was it because of that innate vitality, or simply because he wanted to get revenge on him?

"What are you thinking about? Standing here all alone."

Suddenly, Dean Forrest's voice came from behind.

Link snapped out of his reverie and replied truthfully, but not in detail, "I was thinking about my daughter and my brother."

"Your brother? You have a brother?"

Dean Forrest accurately identified the blind spot.

"I only found out my younger brother was born when I went home last time."

Link's tone was cheerful, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. "At that time, I didn't know that he only looked like he was about three years old, but was actually just over one year old."

"Um?"

Dean Forrest began to ponder Link's words.

"You didn't expect that, did you?"

Link continued with a smile, "Not long ago, well... really not long ago, he had grown to be about six years old."

"I see."

Dean Forrest tilted his head back slightly and downed the wine in his hand in one gulp.

His eyes, in that instant of tilting his head back, flashed with a brilliant light.

One scheme after another surfaced in his mind, and one plan after another began to take shape.

Rivoss Academy really won big this time.

However, when faced with new opportunities, we must seize them.

Without disturbing Dean Forrest, Link quietly left the terrace and the celebration banquet.

After some transfers, Link returned to the Wizarding World homeland, to his little home with Jasmine.

Jasmine is soothing the child, she's absolutely adoring him.

She completely forgot the look of disgust she had when she first saw her daughter's wrinkled little face.

I bet my daughter will say her farts smell good now.

"You're back already? Is the celebration banquet over?"

When Jasmine saw Link enter the bedroom, she carefully placed the swaddled baby wrapped around her daughter into the crib and got up to help Link change his clothes.

"No, I didn't want to stay any longer, so I came back early."

"Is something on your mind?"

"I feel relaxed now, with no worries on my mind."

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

After a brief conversation, Link, feeling completely relaxed, went into the bathroom and lay down in the bathtub for a soak.

The dark cloud that once belonged to the Saint of Nostrodam has dissipated.

The pay-to-win gacha system, which I've always enjoyed for its convenience but also questioned about its origins, is gone.

They can travel light and forge their own future amidst the unprecedented changes that have taken place in thousands of years.

Next stop, Level 5 Sage. (End of Chapter)
