So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 260: Second A-Rank Talent

"Principal Anthony, what should I do next?"

This question was the core issue Janna came to Anthony-Blackcrow to resolve.

"It's simple. The saying 'practice is the sole criterion for testing truth' also applies when comprehending Laws."

"Practice, huh—"

Hearing Anthony-Blackcrow's answer, Janna's previously confused thoughts suddenly began to clear up.

However, for Janna, who had never systematically studied knowledge related to the Laws, it still wasn't clear enough.

"That's right, practice. But White Coral Academy can't provide you with that opportunity—the only places capable of doing so are secondary witch gatherings, those truly close to the Will of the Witch. Only they have the capability to teach you, step by step, how to walk the path of the Laws and become a true witch———"

Secondary witch gatherings?

Wouldn't that mean that the solution again pointed toward the Dordogne-White Tower?

Hearing Anthony-Blackcrow's answer, to be honest, Janna was a bit disappointed, though not surprised.

Secondary witch gatherings not only possessed advanced curriculum knowledge, but also held the methods for a witch apprentice to advance into a formal witch.

Now, from Anthony-Blackcrow’s words, Janna could understand that this so-called “advancement” was essentially the condition for practicing and comprehending the Laws.

"Sigh———looks like everything will only become clear once I enter the Dordogne-White Tower."

Though she thought so in her heart, Janna still sincerely thanked Anthony-Blackcrow.

After all, as a formal witch, Anthony-Blackcrow could have chosen not to respond to Janna’s clearly “confidential” question.

Yet today, he still fully exercised his role as a “professor,” guiding Janna step by step and helping her avoid the wrong choices.

In the end, it was only because of the confidentiality agreement with the Dordogne-White Tower that Anthony-Blackcrow couldn’t give Janna the true answer.

"This shows that, aside from those born into witch families, for ordinary commoner apprentices, the only way to rise step by step,

aside from signing allegiance contracts with those witch families, is to tightly cling to the academy and secondary witch gatherings..."

Just as Anthony-Blackcrow finished answering Janna’s first question, a pitch-black, lotus-shaped lamp-like witch artifact appeared in Janna’s hand.

"Principal Anthony, the second reason I came to see you today is to ask you to check whether this witch artifact poses any safety risks."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Anthony-Blackcrow naturally understood that the source of this apprentice-level witch artifact Janna brought out was not ordinary.

"The craftsmanship isn’t bad. It’s usable and poses no particular risks."

"Thank you, Principal!"

After receiving Anthony-Blackcrow’s confirmation, Janna comfortably stored the top-tier apprentice-level witch artifact dropped from Earl-Bloodred—Hidden Nook—into her Thorn Bracelet.

"However, try not to use it too conspicuously. Don’t attract trouble at such a sensitive time."

"Understood."

In fact, even before visiting Anthony-Blackcrow, Janna had thought of bringing the Hidden Nook artifact to an alchemical forge to modify its appearance.

However, most alchemists responded that the artifact had already fully taken shape and could no longer be altered,

unless it was completely reforged—but doing so carried the risk of its grade dropping.

Thus, Janna had to abandon her original idea and also tried not to use the artifact in public to avoid unnecessary incidents.

Janna had also considered selling it through the Golden Lily Auction House. But when she looked at the Hidden Nook's description, she couldn’t bear to let it go.

Hidden Nook: Can establish a hidden space that is completely undetectable and imperceptible, lasting for seventy-two hours.

Back when she fought the vampire Earl-Bloodred, even the special Distress Rune in her hand and the explosive noise from the Blast Rune didn’t leak out of the space created by the Hidden Nook—this clearly showed how excellent its concealment and isolation effect was.

Especially when combined with Janna’s identity as a summoning-type apprentice, under the concealment of the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon’s Invisibility and Hidden Nook, she was completely confident that no one short of a formal witch could find her.

This perfectly matched Janna’s usual underhanded and deceptive combat methods.

"Then I have nothing else for now. Thank you for your guidance, Principal Anthony."

"Hmm, you’re welcome. I hope you can walk farther than I did."

After bidding farewell to Anthony-Blackcrow, Janna took the mechanical elevator down from the magic tower and went straight back to her dormitory.

"Another late return today—"

Seeing the time on the clock display as 10:07 PM, Janna took off her witch robe, ate a piece of honey bread, and stepped into the comfortably warm Alchemical Bathtub.

"It really does relieve fatigue."

Because the bottom of the Alchemical Bathtub was inscribed with a magical formation, after storing energy for twelve hours, Janna could clearly feel that the surrounding magic particles were much denser than elsewhere in the dormitory.

"The massage function is also nice, though the strength still isn’t quite enough."

Feeling the tingling electric sensation on her back, Janna enjoyed the tub’s massage while not forgetting today’s major task.

"System, open character panel."

Looking at the long content on the character panel, Janna’s gaze ultimately locked onto Plant Affinity (B-Rank – upgrade progress 97%) and Growth Law Fragment (unlock condition not met).

Hoo—

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

After confirming everything was ready, Janna solemnly gave the system her command.

"System, allocate all 300 talent experience points to Plant Affinity."

Swish— As the talent experience was injected, the entry Plant Affinity was instantly enveloped in a radiant golden glow.

Next, the progress surged, and the upgrade progress bar behind the Plant Affinity talent instantly hit one hundred percent, and the talent rank rose from B-Rank to A-Rank.

"Natural—Affinity?"
