"Wow! So powerful?"

Before I could say anything, Juliet and Gwen were the first to exclaim.

"I heard the 'Lost Paradise Shockwave' is one of the most powerful high-level magic!"

"Yeah, not many angels can use it, right?"

"....Really?"

As they discussed among themselves, I suddenly realized I had struck it big. I had somehow learned such a powerful spell just by chance. A miracle?

"You don't even know what magic you're using?"

Aria had a mocking expression on her face.

"Uh..."

I didn't know! Of course, she didn't know I had just learned this spell, she probably thought I was pretending.

"Why are you so insistent on learning this magic from me?"

I still didn't quite understand. If it was really that simple, then I didn't mind teaching her.

"It's not about learning magic, it's about learning your method of being able to cast spells quickly without incantations. "

Aria corrected me word for word.

"Method? There's nothing special about my method!"

Incantations help control the elements, this is basic knowledge that I'm sure all angels understand. All I did was skip the incantation and directly control the element, no different than normal spellcasting without incantations. There is no special method at all!

The incantations can be simplified, but element control cannot be simplified. The only difference is that controlling the elements is easier for some people than others.

"That can't be. I can't cast spells like you can. You must have some secret trick!"

But she did not believe my words.

I suddenly understood. She must think I was using some kind of cheating tool like Phoebe's magic circle.

"You're overthinking it, I don't have any tricks!!"

I stated clearly once again. To be honest I felt very depressed. It was bad enough that Phoebe got first place by cheating, now I was being suspected along with her.

"I think you just don't want to share it!"

She didn't believe me at all. With a cold snort, she turned and left in a huff.

"I reckon this is another one of Reed's tricks. I'll just go ask her directly."

"Huh?"

I was surprised she associated this with Reed. I wanted to stop her, but then I realized it didn't matter. She wouldn't find out anything anyway, plus Reed had moved out of the library yesterday. I didn't even know her new location, there was no guarantee Aria could find her.

"If you have a trick, you could teach me too, right?"

Seeing Aria leave, Juliet also wrongly assumed I had a secret. She offered,

"Don't worry! I absolutely won't tell anyone else."

"Don't listen to her nonsense! There's nothing!"

I was exasperated. Why did they both think I was hiding something?

A few more days passed after that. If you didn't pay attention to the tournament, life was back to how it was before.

"The basic knowledge from the memory infusion is all covered now, much faster than expected..."

Aetina breathed a sigh of relief and told us,

"But as Lady Elara requested, there are still some important things I need to teach you, like the light-based healing spells unique to the angel race..."

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Wait!"

Cyra seemed to notice a problem. She raised her hand and asked,

"Are you sure all the missing content from the memory infusion is covered?"

"Yes...did I miss something?"

Aetina was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out her notebook to double-check.

"It looks fine!"

"Are you sure nothing about weapon crafting methods is missing?"

Seeing her reaction, Cyra didn't seem so certain anymore, but still prompted,

"Weapon crafting methods? There's stuff like that in the memory infusion too, how did I not know?"

Aetina had a blank look on her face. It was pretty amusing.

"Are you talking about Nicola's Condensation Sword?"

I understood immediately and got right to the point. No more beating around the bush (〃'▽'〃)

"Condensation Sword? What is that?"

Aetina had never seen the Condensation Sword, so it was normal she didn't know. But Cyra and I knew something was off.

From my perspective, the Condensation Sword was likely related to Nicola's time manipulation ability. But Cyra didn't know that.

Plus, Nicola had mentioned many times that she learned how to craft the Condensation Sword during the memory infusion period. It seemed very strange. Why was she the only one given special treatment?

Did she pay extra in her past life?

Or was the Angel Descent Formation related to time manipulation?

No...that's not right. It's more appropriate to associate it with spatial control.

After hearing our description, Aetina was completely confused. It took her a while to recover.

"Although the specific content of the memory infusion can be modified to a certain extent, the method is only known by Lady Elara. It normally would not leak out."

Since Nicola wasn't in class today, we couldn't ask her directly. Aetina could only tell us what she knew.

"Besides, I've never heard of this 'Condensation Sword' you mentioned. If it's that powerful, and newborn angels could make it anytime, our race wouldn't be in such dire straits."

"So what exactly is going on? Is Nicola deceiving us?"

Cyra had a disappointed expression. Did she think learning this would make her as awesome as Nicola?

"She's not deceiving us, there are probably other reasons..."

I naturally did not want to reveal certain secrets outright. But even so, there were still many questionable points.

"We'll have to get Nicola to show it to us next time we see her."

Aetina was also intrigued and very much wanted to see this alleged "cheat weapon."

After that, the class continued as usual.

"Due to the angels' physique, the water-based healing spells humans use are not very effective on angel bodies. If injuries are not healed promptly it can be troublesome. This is when the light-based healing spells unique to our race come in handy..."

"Cyra, are you okay? Stomach upset?"

I wasn't seeing things right? This girl was normally lazy, slouching so far down in her chair she was practically lying down. Why did she suddenly sit up straight?

"Shhh..."

Cyra didn't even turn to look at me, staring fixedly ahead at Aetina's teaching. She whispered,

"Elara is here!"

"Elara?"

I immediately realized what was going on. Her reaction was similar to when the homeroom teacher did inspections back in school.

Strangely, I did not see any sign of Elara at the door. Did Cyra get it wrong? She was acting like she had been bitten by a snake and was now afraid of ropes.

Speaking of which, since Nicola and I started attending class, we rarely saw Elara come during lessons. I didn't think much of it, but Cyra was always high-strung as if the slightest inattentiveness would give Elara an excuse to pick on her.

I understood her mentality. According to rumours, she used to be reprimanded by Elara frequently before we came to Edenmere. Although the situation improved greatly afterwards, her rank and achievements were below Nicola and me. Among the four transmigrators, only she remained stagnant, her growth no different than an average angel's. Even Aetina was relatively stricter with her.

"The other side!"

Seeing me keep staring at the door, Cyra whispered again to remind me.

"The other side?"

The only thing on the other side was the window, and we were on the third floor...

Although confused, I still turned to look out the window. I was shocked by what I saw.

"Oh my god Σ(っ°Д°;)っ! What the heck?"

I was so frightened I stood right up from my seat by the window. Don't know when it started, but a face appeared in the corner of the window. With one look I could tell it was Elara.

Heavens! As clan leader, why are you hiding in a place like this? It scares people...

"Oh, I've been found out!"

Seeing my reaction, Elara knew she couldn't hide anymore. She mischievously stuck out her tongue, then reluctantly flew in through the window. The oblivious Aetina heard the noise and quickly bowed down on one knee.

"No need to be so formal, I just happened to pass by to check in..."

Once inside the room, Elara's aura immediately became powerful, as if her previous mischievous actions had nothing to do with her. Then her gaze returned to me.

"Of course, I'm also here to find Feliciana for something."

"Find me?"

I pointed at myself, confused as to why she would personally come here for me.

"Come with me to the office first..."

After saying that to me, Elara didn't elaborate further. She simply walked out the door, leaving me and Cyra staring at each other.

"The teacher wants to see you, hurry up and go!"

Cyra looked at me gloatingly and urged me to hurry. But then Elara's head suddenly poked in from outside the door again.

"Cyra, you still haven't ranked up right? I haven't forgotten our four wings pact..."

"Ah! Don't worry, I'll work hard!"

You could see Cyra's whole body tremble. Without even turning her head back she quickly asserted loudly.

"Why must you say more...there's no need for that..."

I sighed inwardly, feeling I couldn't bear to watch. I was also puzzled. Over the past half month, I have observed Cyra's learning closely. She was much more diligent than before, yet her abilities had not improved at all. There was still no sign of her getting four wings, and we couldn't wait much longer...

Thinking of Nicola's reminder, I felt our departure date drawing nearer day by day. I wasn't worried about Reed at all, but what if Cyra still couldn't rank up when the time came? Were we supposed to just leave her behind in Edenmere?
