Chapter 367: Advancement of the Law of Beauty
A melodious voice, a friendly smile—at the moment Janna spoke, everyone’s attention instinctively focused on her.
It was like a mountain spring flowing gently through the heart. Even though the overall speaking time was not long, every word Janna uttered inexplicably carried a sense of sincerity and made people feel an urge to keep listening.
“Thank you, everyone.”
After finishing her brief speech, Janna, holding the medal, gave a slight bow toward the audience. At that sight, the residents of Turin City once again erupted into thunderous applause, long and unending.
“Hm?”
Just as Janna was about to step down, suddenly, a smoke filled with red, orange, and yellow appeared before her eyes.
Within moments, the three-colored smoke gathered swiftly in the air and transformed into a pink mist, enveloping everyone present.
“This is—the power of Law?”
Thanks to her [Muscle Control] talent, Janna’s expression did not show any abnormalities.
From the reactions of the people below, it was clear that the continuously flowing pink mist spreading among the crowd could only be seen by Janna herself.
Moreover, judging from the energy fluctuations radiating from the mist, it was extremely similar to the power of the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty] she possessed.
“However, this power seems different from the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty] I currently hold—”
The [Law of Beauty], being a [Primary Law] that covered an exceptionally broad scope, had thousands of [Secondary Laws] branching from it.
What Janna presently commanded under this [Law] was the [Beauty of Appearance].
Aside from this, [Cuisine], [Art], [Emotion], [War], [Order], [Wealth]—all could be considered [Derivative Laws] under the vast concept of the [Law of Beauty].
Some of these [Derivative Laws] could even maintain equal status with the [Law of Beauty] itself, and some had already begun forming independent systems of their own.
And the power Janna perceived from this pink mist carried a strong resonance of emotional perception. Therefore, she surmised that this force should belong to the [Emotion] aspect of the [Law of Beauty].
“Swish—”
Before Janna could finish thinking, the mist churned violently. The vast pink mist surged toward her as if it had found a venting outlet.
In the next moment, radiant light flashed. At the instant the pink mist was about to engulf her, a brilliant, dazzling star appeared once more before her eyes.
Along with it, a sea of blossoms in shades of violet and crimson bloomed endlessly, spreading outward with Janna as the center.
“Alright, thank you, Miss Janna, for your wonderful speech!”
Her vision returned; the mist dispersed. Hearing Teresa-Mensa’s closing words beside her, Janna gave a faint smile and, under the gaze of the crowd, slowly stepped down from the stage.
“Our great hero is finally back~”
The moment she sat down, Vivian’s playful voice rang beside her.
At her words, Janna merely shook the medal in her hand at Vivian, then turned her head back to watch the stage.
“As expected, it was the power of the [Law of Beauty].”
Back in her seat, Janna immediately opened her Character Panel.
When she saw that under the [Law Authority] entry, the comprehension progress of the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty] had leapt from 0% to 2%, a sudden clarity arose in her heart.
“Could it be that the method to advance the [Fragment of the Law of Beauty] lies in the feedback of emotions?”
But she quickly denied this thought.
As creatures with rich emotions, humans constantly expressed and reflected feelings.
However, emotions were ever-changing, influenced by countless factors. Just like the feedback she received during her opera performance with the Nightingale Opera Troupe—that too was an emotional response.
Yet, at that time, she had not sensed any changes in her [Fragment of the Law of Beauty].
The commendation ceremony in the morning did not last long. After Janna was awarded her medal of honor, it soon came to a smooth conclusion.
Once the others had gradually dispersed, Janna, with the help of the staff from the Mercenary Guild, completed the preliminary procedures for property transfer.
“Miss Janna, I’ve already registered everything for you. In about three working days, the property approval documents will be issued. At that time, we will send someone to notify you. Here is your proof of ownership.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”
The one handling Janna’s property approval was a round-faced, short-haired girl about the same age as her.
After taking the ring-shaped identification proof from the girl, Janna smiled and nodded, then stored it within her Thorn Bracelet.
“Miss Janna, the Guild Master specifically instructed that if you are ready to leave, I should guide you out through the side gate.”
“Thank you.”
Led by the round-faced girl, Janna smoothly avoided the crowd outside and exited through a relatively hidden side entrance of the Mercenary Guild.
After leaving, she skillfully cast [Psychology Invisibility] and chose paths with fewer people as she made her way toward the Academy.
“Autumn is coming.”
Compared to the heat of last week, the temperature within the Turin wizard settlement had noticeably dropped. Even the newly sprouted leaves were no longer as green as before.
“Time really flies.”
Unknowingly, the courses for Second-Tier Wizard Apprentices were already more than halfway finished.
“Whew—”
The wind blew, rustling the leaves by the roadside.
Seeing from her pocket watch that it was already late, Janna did not linger. With a light step, aided by [Featherlight Spell], she disappeared into the bustling crowd within moments.
The Mercenary Guild’s efficiency was fast. By the very next day, Janna received word from Rook that her property approval had gone through successfully, along with a parchment map marking the location of her new home.
“This place is actually quite close to Vivian’s house.”
Following the map’s markings, Janna soon arrived at a residential area on the outskirts of Turin City, where her new house was located.
“To think it’s even a standalone villa.”
Pushing open the courtyard gate, she saw a simple, cream-white two-story duplex building.
From the location of the neighborhood and the soundproof barriers set around the yard, it was clear that this was a residential district specifically designed for Transcendents.
