So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 254: A New Ability

Hearing the familiar voice in her ear, Janna couldn't help but pause.

"Gate Spirit, did anyone come looking for me today?"

"No, Miss Janna———"

The conversation at the door gave Janna a sudden sense of dread.

As the dormitory door reopened, another "Janna" in a green witch robe appeared right in front of her.

"Who are you!?"

The "Janna" who pushed the door open looked utterly shocked upon seeing Janna inside the dorm, as if the emotion was completely genuine. Even her casting gesture for the 【Flourishing Guard】 was identical to how Janna usually reacted to emergencies—

"Crack—

Just as the "Janna" was about to attack, the surrounding mirror illusion suddenly came to a halt.

It was like a movie being paused midway through. The "Janna" before her stood frozen in place.

"Is this your new ability?"

"Yes, Master."

Looking at the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon reappearing at her side, a flicker of complex emotion passed through Janna's eyes.

"If you hadn’t stopped the illusion, would she have really attacked me?"

"Yes, Master."

At those words, a look of shock appeared on Janna’s face. Then, as if something occurred to her, she suppressed her inner excitement and asked the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon:

"Then what’s her combat level?"

"Only one-tenth of Master's."

As expected—

Hearing the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon’s answer, Janna’s initial shock and excitement gradually calmed down.

Just as she suspected, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon’s current strength wasn’t significantly beyond her own. So, logically speaking,

This rather extraordinary ability of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon must come with certain limitations.

"Continue."

"Yes, Master."

At Janna’s command, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon resumed the previously "paused" illusion. Facing the "Janna"'s 【Vine Bind】 spell, the real Janna countered with her own 【Vine Bind】.

As expected, the mirror illusion "Janna", with only a tenth of Janna’s strength, couldn’t withstand even a single strike from the real Janna.

"Unbelievable... The evolved Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon’s illusions can now perfectly mimic reality to such a degree—."

Looking at the shattered mirror-like illusion before her, Janna’s eyes reflected deep thought.

Unlike the previously rigid illusions, this new one even made the people "think".

Or rather, this current illusion recreated actual events that had occurred in the 【Primary Material Plane】—a reflective playback, much like a mirror image.

"Does that mean, as the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon grows more eyes, the illusions it creates can replicate everything in one-to-one fidelity?"

"Silver Mirror, can you simulate Headmaster Anthony?"

"Not yet——I can only simulate beings with power equal to my own."

At that, Janna nodded slightly.

Although this ability of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon seemed unbelievable, it still adhered to the principle of energy conservation.

If the target’s magic level far exceeded that of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, it would be difficult for it to successfully simulate them.

"Not bad, this ability certainly has strong potential for future development."

"Thank you for the compliment (happy)～"

As the scene shifted back from the dormitory to its usual gray and white state, Janna continued to have the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon demonstrate its other newly acquired abilities.

"Master, the second ability I acquired is 【Invisibility】."

"Invisibility?"

Seeing the ability description written on the mirror by the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, Janna couldn’t help but think of a high-priced apprentice-grade top-tier witch tool—the Invisibility Cloak.

"Cast it on me."

Swish— Upon receiving Janna’s command, a veil like rippling water gently floated out from the mirror, landing over Janna and completely enveloping her.

"Even the casting method resembles the 【Invisibility Cloak】—"

Covered by the veil, Janna raised her hand and found that her body had truly become invisible.

Moreover, this form of invisibility was different from the previous method where the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon disguised Janna as part of the surrounding scenery using mirror illusions.

This time, it was actual invisibility from the visual perspective—real and complete.

"This new ability from Silver Mirror is essentially like getting a free 【Invisibility Cloak】."

With that thought, Janna looked at the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon with increasing gentleness.

"Cast 【Short-Distance Teleportation】 on me."

Whirr—

As light and shadow flickered, Janna saw that she had moved a full ten meters from her original spot. The distance of the teleportation left her more than satisfied with the evolved Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon.

It completely exceeded her expectations!

"Any other new abilities?"

"None, Master～"

Upon hearing this, and after having the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon remove the 【Invisibility Veil】 from her, Janna couldn’t help but reach toward the glassy vertical eye on the demon’s mirror-like body.

"Just how many more surprises are hidden in you———"

From the evolution of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon to the experiments with its new abilities, the entire process took less than an hour.

After returning from the 【Mirror Domain】 to the 【Primary Material World】, Janna saw that the dormitory wall clock read 11:50 PM. Feeling the hunger settle in her stomach, she opened the cake box on the lab table, picked up a fork, and began eating.

"The pastries from Acorn House are still too sweet——"

After finishing the last bite of cake and sipping some ice water, Janna took off her clothes and walked into the washroom, turning on the shower to take a hot bath.

"Showers are quick, but soaking in the tub is even more relaxing."

Previously, due to a tight budget, Janna had held off on buying an alchemy bathtub.

But now, with rising income from the opera, endorsements, and purification missions, a few hundred Gold Surels for an alchemy bathtub was no longer a significant expense for her.

"Vivian said the latest alchemy bathtubs have new features—"

The alchemy bathtubs Janna had seen at the magic supply store not only had ergonomic designs, but their engraved magical array, after twelve hours of energy storage, also allowed witches to engage in shallow meditation within a mana-rich environment.

And the newest models reportedly added features like massage, temperature control, self-cleaning,

and water element accumulation—
