Chapter 295 : The Law Fragment Holder
Chapter 295: The Law Fragment Holder
The phenomenon did not last long. After a few minutes, Janna, who had been deeply trapped in a dream, slowly woke up.
“Oh no…”
Looking at the scattered chairs around her and the lush vegetation that had grown thickly, an ominous premonition suddenly sprouted in Janna’s heart.
“Apologies, Principal Anthony, it seems I just entered an extremely strange state.”
As Janna stood up from her chair, Vivian immediately walked over to her side and began checking her body for any abnormalities.
The others present, including Anthony-Blackcrow, simply looked at Janna with complicated expressions. After a moment, Anthony-Blackcrow finally said to Janna:
“It’s alright. Sit down. Remember to clean up the classroom after class. Alright, let’s continue the lesson.”
Hearing Anthony-Blackcrow’s words, the apprentices who had been planning to rush to Janna and ask about her insights on the “Law Fragment” had to suppress their curiosity and reluctantly returned to their seats.
“Vivian, once class is over, please help me freeze the roots of these plants. That’ll make cleanup easier.”
“No problem!”
Janna sat back down in her seat. Noticing the sparkle in Vivian’s eyes, she couldn’t help but ask curiously:
“What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Vivian’s eyes remained fixed on her. After a long pause, she finally lowered her voice so only the two of them could hear and asked:
“Janna, when did you start mastering a ‘Law Fragment’?”
“Which one are you referring to?”
Which one?
What did she mean by “which one”?
Vivian, initially full of curiosity, was stunned upon hearing this response.
“You mean you’ve comprehended multiple ‘Law Fragments’?”
“Yes. So far, I’ve already comprehended three ‘Law Fragments’—the first one, not long after the Three-School Joint Examination.”
For a moment, Vivian thought she had misheard Janna’s words.
“You’re saying—you already comprehended a ‘Law Fragment’ last year!?”
“That’s right.”
Unlike Janna’s calm demeanor, Vivian’s heart at this moment was surging like a tidal wave.
“What is the authority of your first ‘Law Fragment’?”
“Purification.”
Purification?
Upon hearing this, Vivian immediately thought of Janna’s sacred light-type avian Contracted Creature.
“What about the second ‘Law Fragment’?”
“It’s the ‘Law of Beauty’.”
Looking at Janna’s face, which could truly be called a gift from the Gods, Vivian wasn’t surprised.
However, neither the “Purification Law Fragment” nor the “Law of Beauty Fragment” had much to do with Janna’s “Witch Talents.”
“Then your third ‘Law Fragment’ must be related to your ‘Plant Affinity’ talent, right?”
“No.”
“No? That’s strange. The ‘Law’ phenomenon just now was clearly a power from the plant domain—”
“It’s related to my newly advanced A-rank talent, ‘Affinity with Nature.’”
Vivian: “!”
Seeing Vivian’s exaggerated expression from shock once again, a sly smile flashed across Janna’s face.
“My third ‘Law Fragment’ corresponds to the authority of ‘Growth.’”
“So when you defeated me in Black Magic Defense class, you had already comprehended three ‘Law Fragments’?”
To Vivian’s tremulous question, Janna gently shook her head.
“At that time, I had only mastered two ‘Law Fragments.’ The ‘Growth Law Fragment’ was something I comprehended recently.”
After Janna’s explanation, Vivian felt truly overwhelmed.
Not only that, but a complex mix of emotions—relief, surprise, joy, and a hint of disappointment—began stirring in her heart. But soon, Vivian shook her head and cast aside those useless feelings.
What remained was genuine comfort.
“Congratulations, Janna. You truly are the most outstanding witch I’ve ever met.”
“Thank you. Now hurry and focus on the lesson, Vivian.”
Feeling the sincerity in Vivian’s blessing, Janna smiled and lightly patted her arm before turning her attention back to the blood sample under the microscope.
“Phew—”
Seeing Janna return her focus to the experiment, Vivian sighed silently. After a long while,
she too shifted her slightly unfocused gaze toward the microscope.
“So this is the difference between us…”
She had thought the gap between them was shrinking, but the truth always managed to catch Vivian off guard.
She knew very well that with Janna’s talents, she stood out not only in Duling, a gathering place of Third-Rank Witches, but even in the entire witch world.
However, Vivian realized she might have underestimated Janna’s potential.
“How could a firefly’s light ever compete with the brilliance of the full moon… But, as long as I can stay by the moon’s side, that’s enough.”
“Alright, that’s it for today’s class. You’re dismissed.”
“Goodbye, Principal Anthony—”
“Janna, stay for a moment.”
Just as the apprentices, eager to rush over and question Janna about the “Law Fragment,” were about to act, they were intercepted by Anthony-Blackcrow.
As Anthony-Blackcrow left the classroom with Janna, the apprentices began grumbling.
“Vivian, did Janna say anything to you just now?”
Watching Janna’s departing figure, Marlowe-Haig, who had been sitting behind the two and couldn’t ask during class, finally gave in to his curiosity and asked Vivian directly.
“Janna has indeed comprehended a ‘Law Fragment.’ Other than that, I have nothing to say.”
To Marlowe-Haig’s question, Vivian gave a lukewarm response, then bent down to begin clearing the lush plants near Janna’s seat.
“Let me help you.”
“No need. Thank you.”
Vivian initially refused without even turning her head, but as if recalling something, she lifted her head and added, a bit stiffly, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Seeing the once-arrogant young lady of the Rose Family apologize to him, and guessing the reason for her change in attitude, Marlowe-Haig merely smiled faintly. Then he lifted his head and looked toward the slender figure that had already left the classroom with Anthony-Blackcrow.
“Thank you—”
