Chapter 113: Second Elf Summoning
After completing the skill upgrade, Jia Na's Shaping also became smooth. Not only did it solve the stability issue, but Jia Na could even reshape the Celestial Sparrow into a Raven, berries, jin sule, or even magic threads as fine as hair.
"Very good! I see that many people have grasped the true meaning of Shaping. Very well done!"
Because many third-level apprentices were held back, although this portion of apprentices didn't fully understand Primary Medical, they had mastered this basic technique early on. Therefore, among those present, except for a small number, everyone could roughly perform Shaping, but—
Turning their heads, looking at the smoke-like, illusory shaping magic in Jia Na's hand, these third-level apprentices couldn't understand how this Second-level Wizard Apprentice, who seemed to have just started learning Shaping, quickly mastered shaping magic in such a short time.
Her proficiency level was even enough to make these 'held-back students' feel ashamed.
"Those who didn't succeed should hurry back and practice. If I still see people who can't perform Shaping in the next class, there's no need to attend anymore."
Inside the classroom, you could hear a pin drop. Besides Anthony-Black Sparrow's lecture, no one dared to say a word. This state continued until the end of class—
"Alright, class dismissed."
"Goodbye, Professor Anthony—"
Watching Anthony-Black Sparrow quickly leave the classroom, Jia Na also breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, whenever Jia Na attended Anthony-Black Sparrow's class, she always felt a sense of oppression. It was as if the other person was an insurmountable mountain, and just a word or a look could make Jia Na feel immense pressure. This situation didn't exist when attending other Wizard Professors' classes.
"They were clearly all First-Level Wizards, but the Principal's aura was noticeably stronger than the other Professors—"
The Primary Medical class was long. By the time Jia Na left the Magic Tower, the night sky was already full of stars. When Jia Na returned to her dormitory, the hour hand on the mechanical clock on the wall was already pointing to ten o'clock.
"Hmm? Another academy notice?"
Opening the window, looking at the academy notice placed on the windowsill by the Raven, Jia Na casually tore open the envelope and quickly scanned the contents inside.
"As expected, it's a mandatory academy mission."
【Notice: To ensure the safety of the City of Turin and resist the invasion of Shadow Creatures, starting the day after tomorrow, all apprentices of White Coral Academy are required to go to the Mist Forest to hunt Shadow Creatures—White Coral Academy & Anthony-Black Sparrow issued the notice. (Note: Team action is recommended. One credit will be awarded for each Shadow Creature hunted.)】
"Hmm? There's another letter."
Jia Na, who had intended to close the window, found an unopened letter on the back of the window frame.
【Dear Jia Na-Luo Lan Miss, due to the invasion of Shadow Creatures, all entertainment venues in the City of Turin will be closed starting tomorrow. The Nightingale Opera Troupe is tentatively closed for one week. The specific reopening and work start time will await notification—Nightingale Opera Troupe & Julie-Ann.】
So it's a work suspension notice—I just don't know if the Nightingale Opera Troupe's closure this week is paid. After confirming there was no third letter, Jia Na closed the window, placed both letters on the experimental table, took off her wizard robe, and went into the washroom to take a bath.
"The fact that the academy could ultimately decide to send apprentices on a mandatory mission proves that the Shadow Creatures currently emerging from the spatial rift do not pose too great a danger—"
Splash—as the water sprayed from the showerhead, Jia Na adjusted the water temperature to around forty degrees and began showering. As the fatigue of the day was washed away, Jia Na's previously somewhat sleepy brain gradually became clearer.
"One Shadow Creature is worth one credit. Currently, the apprentices from the three major academies are almost all out. Without some skill, they might not even be able to snatch resources. Perhaps, it's time to advance the Elf Summoning schedule—"
Because she had just completed the second Contract Summoning a few days ago, Jia Na's soul state had not returned to its peak.
According to the normal timeline, it would take about three more days for Jia Na's depleted soul power to be fully replenished.
"The soul power needed for Elf Summoning is not much. In my current state, it's more than enough. There's no need to wait three days."
Turning off the showerhead and drying the water stains on her body with a towel, Jia Na quickly cast a Cleaning Spell on herself.
Then she put on her pajamas and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"I currently have two Contract Summoned Beasts. The Celestial Sparrow is positioned as support, the Thorn Flower Fairy as control, and the newly contracted Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, although skilled in illusions, is more for tactical value and hiding/escaping—in essence, it's still a support/control type. Therefore, the target for this Elf Summoning needs to be a high-burst output-type Contract Summoned Beast—"
The Elf Summoning Jia Na currently masters is just a low-level summoning ritual. The planes it targets are 'elemental planes' like the one where she contracted the Thorn Flower Fairy. The choices are mostly elemental spirits of fire, water, earth, wind, and metal. When it comes to burst power, fire element and ice element spirits are good choices.
"Before having specific coordinates, if I want to target a specific plane, I'll need to prepare extra materials—"
So far, Jia Na has marked three plane coordinates: the Thorn Plane, the Mirror Layer Domain, and the Heavenly Mountain, which she accidentally marked when breaking through to A-grade Talent a few days ago.
The elemental attributes corresponding to the Mirror Layer Domain and the Heavenly Mountain are not within the selection range of the Low-level Elf Summoning ritual, so they are not considered.
As for the Thorn Plane, which is where she originally contracted Lola, although there are some high-level plant-type spirits there,
But for Jia Na, who currently only has the strength of a Second-level Wizard Apprentice, she simply can't handle them. Even weaker ones are not as good as the Thorn Flower Fairy, so this plane is not within Jia Na's selection range either.
"Summoning rituals corresponding to elemental planes of light, darkness, lightning, etc., should already belong to the scope of High-level Elf Summoning."
In terms of attack power and potential, these types of elemental spirits are still stronger.
Especially the Angels in the Heavenly Holy World, they are simply the top-tier among light-attribute magical creatures.
"It seems I still need to think of a way regarding Afu. If it is truly the legendary Holy Light Reserve, its future development potential is simply immeasurable—"
