Chapter 219: Banshee Wail
"Only four classes?"
Six required courses plus four elective courses. Seeing Miss Jia Na's calm and indifferent appearance, Hugh-Stone's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
"That's true, you're considered a popular actor in Turin now, you've earned so much money, there's really no need to do tasks anymore. But with ten classes a week and working at the opera house on weekends, do you still have time for meditation and cultivation?"
"Time is like water in a sponge, you can always squeeze some out."
Regarding Hugh-Stone's confusion, Miss Jia Na just gave an ambiguous answer.
After all, it's quite common for Wizards to substitute meditation for sleep, but during the Wizard Apprentice stage,
it's extremely rare.
Theoretically, for Wizard Apprentices who major in mental power, deep meditation can accelerate the recovery of mental power more than sleep.
However, there are still too few apprentices like Miss Jia Na who can enter a state of deep meditation anytime and anywhere without the aid of any tools.
Most people can only maintain a state of shallow meditation and cannot substitute meditation for sleep at all.
After all, many apprentices are at an age where their bodies are growing, and without the ability to achieve deep meditation, sleep is an indispensable part of human Growth.
Especially for apprentices on the Bloodline Side who attach great importance to physical fitness, long-term high-intensity training requires sufficient sleep to ensure the Growth of their physique.
"Alright... I originally wanted to find you to team up for an outdoor task. Looking at this, you don't have time for tasks at all." After putting away the textbooks and saying goodbye to Hugh-Stone, Miss Jia Na prepared to go to the Intermediate Healing class in the afternoon first
to find a seat.
However, when she reached the classroom door, she found a conspicuous "Course Cancellation Notice" posted next to the door, and the course resumption time was also listed as pending.
"This is truly in line with the Principal's style of doing things—"
The sudden cancellation of the afternoon class meant Miss Jia Na had to reschedule her day. But without much delay, Miss Jia Na, who had put away the Intermediate Healing textbook, took the elevator directly out of the Magic Tower and returned straight to her dormitory without even going to the cafeteria.
H
As the door of the dormitory's mechanical elevator opened, the Door Spirit, seeing Miss Jia Na return so early, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Miss Jia Na, why are you back so early today?"
"Plans changed, the afternoon class was cancelled."
Pusing open the door and entering the dormitory, Miss Jia Na couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then took off the wizard robe hood on her head.
"Once I learn the Psychological Stealth Witchcraft, I won't have to constantly worry about being recognized—"
As Miss Jia Na's fame grew, she found that sometimes, even if she covered her face tightly, there were still many keen-eyed fanatical fans and print media reporters who could quickly recognize her by her figure.
It was alright within the academy, after all, they were apprentices who usually attended classes together, and they could still be relatively restrained.
However, after Miss Jia Na left the academy, these "tails" who constantly paid attention to her would greatly affect her daily travel.
In extreme cases, she even had to rely on the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's illusion to successfully escape the crowd. Therefore, to get rid of her current "trouble," Miss Jia Na specifically exchanged for the Psychological Stealth from Black Cat Belle.
Witchcraft, and also gave away the dried silverfish bought in Water Marsh City.
"Gulp gulp—"
After taking off her wizard robe, Miss Jia Na took out a bottle of iced coffee from the refrigerator and took a sip.
Then she simply made a whole wheat sandwich and started eating it.
"The Witchcraft that are relatively suitable for me to learn right now are pretty much these."
After quickly finishing lunch, Miss Jia Na washed her hands and sat back down at the lab bench, taking out all the Witchcraft she had exchanged before the start of the semester.
Miss Jia Na's thinking when exchanging for Witchcraft was very simple: she selected the conditions 【Level 2 Apprentice】, 【Plant-type】, 【Mental Control System】, 【Sound-type】, and 【General Category】 as filters, and then used the process of elimination to remove others, exchanging for all the remaining Witchcraft.
Roughly estimated, there are about four Witchcraft that Miss Jia Na can learn now: Plant-type Witchcraft Thorn Impalement, Sound-type Witchcraft Banshee Wail, and General Category Witchcraft Psychological Stealth, Memory Reading.
To be honest, Miss Jia Na was not very satisfied with either the quantity or quality of the Witchcraft.
Not to mention repetitive Witchcraft like Thorn Impalement, which has already been mastered by the Thorn Flower Fairy, the Mental Control type Witchcraft that Miss Jia Na was most concerned about, other than the Mind Enchantment and soul Shriek she exchanged for last time, there were no others suitable.
In the end, Miss Jia Na could only exchange for a few relatively practical General Category Witchcraft, and a newly added Sound-type Witchcraft Banshee Wail.
This Sound-type Witchcraft is very similar to soul Shriek, both are area-of-effect attack skills, and also have the effect of forcibly interrupting the opponent's casting.
The difference is that soul Shriek is a soul attack, while Banshee Wail focuses on applying a layer of negative status to the enemy.
Targets attacked by Banshee Wail, in addition to having their casting interrupted, will also have their bodies forcibly fixed in place and unable to move. At the same time, it will also be accompanied by negative conditions such as dizziness, nausea, and spasms—it's a pretty good Witchcraft.
"The drawback is also relatively obvious—like Siren's Chant, it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe—"
Moreover, the countermeasure is also very straightforward; as long as the enemy blocks their hearing, this Witchcraft will become ineffective.
"But this drawback isn't much of a problem for Freya, who possesses the B-grade 【Magic Sound Penetration】 talent."
Freya is the Sound-type female apprentice who played 【Olissa】 in song of the ocean. A Sound-type Witchcraft like Banshee Wail, if cast by Freya, would have a completely different effect than if Miss Jia Na cast it.
After all, Miss Jia Na is just cleverly using the character talent Heavenly Voice to cast Sound-type Witchcraft; her perception of different sound frequencies in Mysticism is definitely not as good as a proper Sound-type apprentice.
Just like Freya, even if the opponent blocks their hearing with magic power, as long as she slightly adjusts the frequency of her voice, she can easily break through the opponent's magic power blockade, achieving a penetration effect.
"Let's start learning the simpler ones first."
Because she had been busy reviewing the second-year courses before, Miss Jia Na didn't have much energy to learn new Witchcraft.
So, taking advantage of the rare free time today, Miss Jia Na quickly took out these four Witchcraft to study.
Fortunately, among these four Witchcraft, the Plant-type Witchcraft Thorn Impalement, because Miss Jia Na often saw the Thorn Flower Fairy cast it, she was quite familiar with this Witchcraft model, so learning it was not a big problem.
The same applies to the other Witchcraft; for Miss Jia Na, who has over 10 Comprehension, merely getting started is not difficult at all.
