Chapter 127 The Principal's Reward
Is it the Principal's letter?
After sending off the Raven, Jia Na immediately closed the window and tore open the envelope.
“Black Bone Forest's actions are surprisingly fast, they sent the reward over in just one day—
According to Anthony-Black Sparrow's description on the letter paper, the reward sent by Black Bone Forest Academy this time is a top-tier apprentice-level Witchcraft Item with dark attributes: 【Stealth Cloak】.
【Witchcraft Item Effect: In a shadowed environment, the wearer will possess long-lasting invisibility, can perform short-distance shadow jumps, and has the effect of concealing spell fluctuations and mental force shielding...】
“Only usable by apprentices with dark attribute talent—·
Looking at the effect description of the 【Stealth Cloak】 on the letter, as well as the talent usage restrictions, Jia Na couldn't help but frown.
“So, among the three of us, only Bell can use it—
However, judging from the description of the 【Stealth Cloak】, its effect seems to have many overlaps with Bell-Moonshadow's own abilities, making it not very practical.
“Although the item is good, it's clear that this was actually prepared by Black Bone Forest for their own apprentices—””
As Black Bone Forest, where every apprentice possesses dark attributes, if the apprentice themselves doesn't have a talent like 【Shadow Affinity】 like Bell-Moonshadow, then this Witchcraft Item can be said to be very practical. But for Jia Na and the others, it's relatively useless, or even completely useless.
“Knock knock knock—”
Before Jia Na could put away the letter, another rapid knock sounded at the dormitory door.
“Why did you come over so early today?”
Opening the door, the people standing there were none other than Vivian and Bell-Moonshadow.
“Originally, when I received the Raven's verbal message, I wanted to come and find you. But I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I waited until now to come over.”
Seeing that Jia Na wasn't injured and her mental state looked good, Vivian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Jia Na, did you also receive a letter from the Principal? Black Bone Forest's reward this time is too cheap! If we had known it was for this item, it would have been better to just let them cash it out into jin sule!”
Although there are many subcategories of Witchcraft Items, broadly speaking, they can be directly divided into two types: combat type and auxiliary type.
Further subdividing the categories, they can also be divided into general attributes and special attributes.
Generally speaking, Witchcraft Items with general attributes that are suitable for all apprentices are much more expensive than those with special attributes.
It is precisely because of this that Vivian felt Black Bone Forest's mission reward was too stingy.
“I suggest we take the item to the Turin Auction House and auction it off.”
This time it was Bell-Moonshadow who spoke. As the only apprentice with the 【Shadow Affinity】 talent, her suggestion was also to sell the 【Stealth Cloak】 and cash it out into jin sule.
“Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll change my clothes.”
Because she had just finished meditating not long ago, Jia Na's attire at this time was still home pajamas. After she simply washed up and changed her clothes, Jia Na, dressed in a dark green wizard robe, went to the Principal's office on the seventh floor of the Magic Tower with the other two.
“Jia Na, stay for a moment.”
After receiving the 【Stealth Cloak】 reward, Anthony-Black Sparrow specifically asked Jia Na to stay. Seeing this, Vivian gave Bell-Moonshadow a look, and the two quietly left the Principal's office.
“You should know why I asked you to stay, right?”
“I know, Principal.”
Looking at Jia Na's meek appearance, Anthony-Black Sparrow turned around, walked to the bookshelf, and after pondering for a moment, slowly said:
“Equipment, knowledge, money—which one do you want to choose?”
Hearing Anthony-Black Sparrow's question, Jia Na barely hesitated.
“Principal, I want to choose knowledge.”
“Are you sure?”
“I'm sure.”
Raising his eyebrows, Anthony-Black Sparrow wasn't surprised by Jia Na's choice.
After all, judging from the fact that Jia Na was able to consecutively choose 【Contract Studies】 and 【Primary Medical】 during her first year, she has a very strong obsession with learning Wizard knowledge.
“Take it. Before you study it, remember to sign the 'Permanent Secrecy Contract' on it.”
Looking at the magic scroll that flew out from the bookshelf and floated in front of her, Jia Na's face couldn't help but light up with joy.
Compared to Black Bone Forest's impractical Witchcraft Item reward, Jia Na believed that the reward Anthony-Black Sparrow could proactively give should at least be more suitable for her.
“I advise you to wait until you are promoted to Three-level Wizard Apprentice before studying this knowledge. Also, during your time as an apprentice, it's best not to waste all your soul power on useless contracted creatures, and certainly don't make blind choices.”
Hearing Anthony-Black Sparrow's heartfelt advice, Jia Na also nodded in agreement.
After all, when Jia Na chose her Contract Summoning creatures, she also carefully considered and selected them according to Anthony-Black Sparrow's words.
Not just contracted creatures, from the chosen courses to the Witchcraft exchanged with academic credits, all of Jia Na's actions are purposefully executed step by step according to a plan, never making blind or impulsive choices.
“There's one more thing—”
Just as Jia Na took the magic scroll, the Principal's sudden serious tone made Jia Na involuntarily raise her head to look at him.
“Starting today, everyone including myself and all the Wizards within White Coral Academy will be evaluating you. If you pass the evaluation, I will officially recommend you to participate in the Dordogne-White Tower's apprentice trial in the name of the Academy's Principal—of course, before that, you must first be promoted to Three-level Wizard Apprentice—”
Her gaze slightly flickered. Looking at Anthony-Black Sparrow's extremely serious expression, Jia Na's mood at this moment was like a pool of water struck by a boulder, constantly splashing with excitement.
“Thank you—Principal.”
“Mhm, you don't need to thank me. If you can truly pass the White Tower Trial, I should be thanking you instead—”
The two chatted for a few more sentences. Jia Na, still feeling a bit agitated, first carefully placed the magic scroll into the inner pocket of her wizard robe. Then, after sincerely thanking and bidding farewell to Anthony-Black Sparrow, Jia Na quietly exited the Principal's office and took the mechanical elevator down to the first floor of the Magic Tower.
“Jia Na, over here—”
Not long after she walked out of the elevator, Vivian, who had been waiting at the entrance of the Magic Tower, loudly waved her arm and called out Jia Na's name.
“Where's Bell? Did she go back?”
Seeing that Bell-Moonshadow wasn't there, Jia Na casually asked.
“Oh, you mean her. She took that item to the Turin Auction House, saying she'd come back to find us after it sells.
come back to find us.”
“Mhm, that's good too.”
Thinking about the market price of a top-tier apprentice-level weapon, Jia Na's already excellent mood couldn't help but improve further.
“What were you and the Principal talking about so mysteriously in the office for so long? Why are you suddenly so happy?”
“It's a secret—”
