Chapter 255: Musings on Fusions
Obviously, I wasn't satisfied and still wanted to perform a few more tests. I was very curious about the resistance to teleportation Vee spoke of, but she wasn't willing to be a volunteer. Thankfully, my [Sub-Cores] came to the rescue, and I tried teleporting Beta from one hand to the other.
It was a relatively easy experience, made easier because I opted for the safer confirmed method of double [Position] spells. However, there w...

Chapter 72 - Stars and Stone
"Sorry, sir, it was my idea to come out here," Theo apologized profusely.
Lily frowned and shook her head, "It was my idea to test my attack spell. You just wanted to show me some earth magic."
"But-"
"Enough, you two," Richardus interjected. "While I'm upset that you did this behind my back, I'm glad that you took some precautions. Next time, please discuss this with me beforehand."
"So it's fine for me to practice...

"Couldn't resist and spent the point I see?" Vee asked smugly.
"Huh? No way, I need to be frugal with what I've got," I replied.
"There's no way you got it in less than a day!"
"With [Prodigy] and [Elven Legacy], I get quite a few experience bonuses, and I did create a custom spell even if it wasn't that impressive!"
"You're honestly telling me that your silly temperature spell gave you that much exper...

Chapter 71 - Perspective
As they left the classroom with Theo as the leader, Lily couldn't help but notice a lot of eyes staring at them as they walked. As soon as they spotted the pair, they either gasped or stared at them as if she'd sprouted a second head.
As Lily wondered why everyone was behaving so peculiarly, Theo spoke, "Umm… Are you going to wear that cloak the entire time? Does it not run out?"
Lily looked down at herself and noticed she was st...

Chapter 253: Positioning
As fun as exploring our new home was, I was chopping at the bit to continue working on the unknown spell I was creating. I was really hopeful that completing it would instantly propel my [Dimension Magic] to level two, and then I could start trying to figure out teleportation like Vee.
"Well, if you're going to do that, I guess I'll start laying some webs," Vee replied.
"Or you can continue the magical wrestling," I offered.

Chapter 70 - Faking
During the next magic class, Lily finally volunteered when Instructor Richardus made his proposition to the students. She was confident in her ability to fake a subpar spell, which made her feel quite perturbed about what she was trying to pull off.
I'm actually looking forward to screwing up; what a bizarre turn of events. But the alternative is worse, in my opinion; if I'm good at all types of magic, I'll have a giant sign pointing towa...

Vee hopped onto my shoulder, and I left the room. After Paeris closed the door, he began to lead us to our next destination.

Chapter 69 - Magic Words
After the lesson, Lily wasted no time asking Arakil what he thought of it and if there was any risk to the unfamiliar chants. Much to her relief, he noted that there were no issues with it and that she could follow along and participate in Instructor Richardus' teachings without any worry.
"Why were the chants so different?" Lily asked curiously.
[The simple answer is that there are multiple magical languages. When I was a ...

Chapter 251: Named
Since we were now officially cooperating, I felt more relaxed about revealing some of my capabilities. Naturally, I started by showing off some of my shape-changing abilities and tentacles! While impressed, I was warned to obviously not show off such capabilities, as even the druid class was incapable of doing what I did.
Of course, I had to evolve twice to mix so many parts like this!
I also e...

Chapter 68 - Advanced Classes
Some time passed, and it was Lily's first day of the advanced class. Richardus had briefly prepared her by giving her a rundown of how the class worked and what was expected of the students.
Effectively, this class was for anyone looking toward attending one of the magic academies—whether they had a bloodline or not. They were taught a few essential chants to master, with the most notable being a wind spell for self-defense.

We continued to chat and iron out the details. Most of it wasn't worth mentioning, but a big sticking point for me was that I desperately needed food.
"Are we not feeding you sufficiently?" Llewel asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Don't slimes usually just eat garbage?" Paeris questioned.
"Ugh… While that might be the case for normal slimes, I've evolved quite a few times, and there's no way I can survive on garbage...

The junior classes continued for a bit longer, but Lily desperately hoped they would end soon. The theory portions were enjoyable, as she learned some little tidbits of information for Arakil and herself. Still, the practical exercises were so mundane and straightforward that she felt like her time was being wasted.
While the kids tried controlling their Mana, Lily practiced chantless spells by limiting herself to the Starlight spell and ens...

"So, are we going to try that magic wrestling thing?" Vee asked, her voice brimming with excitement and anticipation.
"Either the sky is going to fall, or you really want to work on the shortcomings!" I teased.

"So, what did you think of the lessons? I certainly learned a few things." Lily asked Arakil.
[It was interesting, although the situation in the world was more alarming than I had imagined. To think that only humans can touch on every aspect of magic is a tragedy; as I've mentioned before—magic is for everyone. It's almost as if every other race has been forced into an affinity against their will; utterly diabo...

I kept pushing and pushing Vee to complete that final hurdle; now that we were so close, I could almost taste the victory!
We were still left on our own, with only an elf providing more food, so we wanted to hammer out this last step before the next day, and we would ultimately make our decision.
We'd agreed that accepting the offer was in our best interest. Still, if I also had [Dimension Magic], then we could have a trump card...

I floated in an endless void for what felt like an eternity until a simple wooden stool appeared. I stared at it briefly and then suddenly found myself sitting in it.

It appeared most lessons were divided into two halves: a theory portion and a practical exercise. After the theory and discussion mainly were concluded, they moved on to the next part of the lesson.
"Right, we are going to work on channeling your Mana," Instructor Richardus declared.
"Again?" a boy whined.
The instructor frowned, "Yes, again, did I stutter?"
The boy went silent, as did the rest of the class.

A chorus of "Yes, teacher" rang from the kids.
He nodded and gestured for Lily to enter the room. She hesitantly walked in, immediately noticing the relatively small number of stu...
