With the scroll in hand, Fei slipped out of the magician's home and made her way back home. Luckily, since her father wasn't home, she didn't have to worry about waking anyone and exposing herself.
"Now then..." She jumped on top of her bed with the scroll in hand and began studying. It wasn't too long until she realized this was a little too advanced for her.
"Ugh... soul link... fate manipulation... what is all of this?" Fei realized that the shiny new prank upgrade mechanism will take a bit of time to learn. It was frustrating... But in the end, she was still an elf. The patience of elves cannot be compared to other short-lived races. Even the deviant Fei had mountains of patience. After all, if she didn't, she would have never learned any magic.
"Hmm... where did I put it?" Meanwhile, the victim was searching for the stolen item. Though... he didn't even imagine it could have been stolen. Not even after days of looking for it. "Did I accidentally toss it...? That can't be..." Needless to say, the poor old magician never found the document and was forced to make a new one in the end. But he wouldn't have to start from scratch thanks to his prior experiences. A man with more experience is always more capable.
Or is he...?
In some cases, deep knowledge can divert you from seeing the obvious. A solution that you would never think of due to the decades of experience. And that's why, the most revolutionary ideas come from young minds.
Since the day she stole the document, Fei has been analyzing it and doing experiments. The original method was something Fei got grasp on within half a year. But she soon realized just how inefficient it was and tried to come up with an alternative. In her spare time, of course. She wouldn't sacrifice her pranking time to study a way to improve her pranks. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
In the meantime, she has already found a way to incorporate the prophecy magic into her everyday life. Although she could only look a few hours into the future, that still wasn't something to scoff at.
Although... there was one 'problem' with it. It was too accurate. Even if she tried to avoid the unfavorable events, they still ended up happening. She only managed to change up minor details.
But even then, life went on and Fei continued to improve the technique. Until one day...
"Wait... why don't I just insert it into a dream?" After a four years of passive research, Fei came up with something way easier and more efficient. All while the original researcher of this topic forgot about it after getting stuck. The main problem she found, was that being conscious while looking into the future limited how far she could look. But, of course, it's hard to do anything while one is unconscious. Unless... she could make use of dream magic and insert the vision into her dreams.
Still, combining magic isn't simple. It took her two extra years before she could finally do some practical experiments without fearing something would go wrong. Upon reaching that point though, her excitement skyrocketed. Just how far will she able to see? Up till now, she could only see what would be for dinner or who would lecture her later that day.
With a smile on her face, she lied down on her bed after preparing everything and went to sleep...
