Chapter 380: Cultivation of Active Magical Plants
“Gawen-Tull?”
The mont Lilith-Mag answered, an image imdiately surfaced in Janna’s mind: a friendly figure with thick glasses, slightly protruding teeth, and a gentle temperant.
“How, you two know each other?”
Seeing Janna’s surprised expression, Lilith-Mag asked casually.
“Yes, our relationship isn’t bad—”
When Janna ran into Gawen-Tull at today’s preliminary evaluation, she had felt puzzled, but she didn’t think too much about it.
However, what Janna hadn’t expected was that Gawen-Tull’s participation in the preliminary evaluation was actually just for formality.
His true purpose was, in fact, to rely on White Coral Academy’s internal recomndation to participate in the assessnt trial of “Wizard Inventions.”
That said, even without White Coral Academy’s internal recomndation, Gawen-Tull could have applied independently to the “Wizard Inventions” assessnt trial. The only issue was that doing so would involve far more complex preliminary procedures, and the ti fra would be much longer.
“If nothing unexpected happens, tentatively next Saturday, I’ll be leading you and Gawen-Tull to the Elental Possession Wizard Settlent to participate in the assessnt trial. This trip will take quite so ti, so rember to prepare the necessary things in advance.”
Elental Possession?
Hearing the na of this wizard settlent, Janna’s eyes lit up slightly.
From what she knew, Elental Possession was one of the top-ranked large wizard settlents among many others.
Its sheer land area was equivalent to two or three Turin Cities, not to ntion that it also housed a top-level wizard academy known as the “Cradle of Elental Wizards”—Elental Possession itself.
Moreover, from Lilith-Mag’s words, it was clear that both the assessnt trial for [Transfiguration Studies] and [Wizard Inventions] would be held within Elental Possession.
“Alright, thank you for the reminder.”
The two of them chatted for a while longer about the assessnt trial. When Janna noticed that it was already late, she politely bid Lilith-Mag farewell and left the teachers’ office on the fourth floor of the magic tower.
“It’s already this late?”
Looking at the short hand on her pocket watch pointing at ten o’clock, Janna, who had left the dormitory early that morning and busied herself all day, couldn’t help but feel a little tired.
“It’s snowing again.”
After leaving the magic tower, she felt the chill of snowflakes falling from the sky. Standing there for a mont, she saw that the snow wasn’t heavy, so she pulled up her wizard hood and walked quickly through the silent night toward her dormitory.
In the days that followed, the entire White Coral Academy remained shrouded in the heavy atmosphere of final exam reviews. It wasn’t until the written exams on the first day were completely finished that the atmosphere inside the academy relaxed a little.
“Janna, I’m here!”
Just as she stepped out of the written exam hall, Janna spotted Vivian standing at the entrance of the first floor of the magic tower.
“These notes are all the ones you lent so ti ago. Today, I’m returning them to their rightful owner.”
Looking at the thick hardcover notebooks in Vivian’s hands, Janna nodded and stored them all inside her Thorn Bracelet.
“Today’s my treat, want to go out to eat?”
“Looks like you did pretty well on the exam today.”
From Vivian’s radiant expression, Janna could tell that she must have done quite well on the written test.
“Passing definitely won’t be a problem, as for the rest—who cares.”
As she said this, Vivian didn’t even wait for Janna’s agreent and directly pulled her along toward the academy gates.
“Let’s just eat sothing simple today. Once everything is over tomorrow, I’ll treat you to a proper feast!”
“No problem, tomorrow it’s my turn to treat you.”
After the written exam on the first day, the next day would be the Witchcraft Evaluation and project presentation.
And the project Janna had been preparing to present was the one she had been working on for a long ti—[On the Cultivation of Active Magical Plants].
“Janna Roland.”
“Here!”
At Mary Margaret’s call, Janna swiftly carried a flowerpot filled with nutrient-rich soil and walked quickly up to the podium at the front of the classroom.
“You may begin.”
“Yes, Professor.”
After standing firmly at the podium, Janna placed the flowerpot on the workbench and began her project presentation.
“The na of my project today is: On the Cultivation of Active Magical Plants.”
With those words, she inserted her hands, glowing with erald-green light, into the soil of the flowerpot under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
“Crackle—”
As the Power of Growth surged rapidly into the seed buried at the bottom of the pot, crisp crackling noises like firecrackers rang out. A crimson vine, blazing like fire, sprouted quickly from the soil.
“The inspiration for my project ca from the ‘Devil’s Vine’ of Florence, a powerful Active Magical Plant cultivated purely through artificial thods, possessing the strength of a full-fledged wizard—”
“My cultivation thod is to alter the elental pathways inside the nuclei through cellular transplantation. At the sa ti, I utilize nutrient-rich soil and greenhouse cultivation to grow a magical plant embryo suited for such transplantation.”
“Finally, I chose Fire Elent, a natural counter to plant attributes, as the primary elent within the embryo’s elental pathways. This, in turn, completely rewrites the weakness of plants fearing fire—”
Snap—After eloquently explaining the background, purpose, and expected results of her project on [Cultivation of Active Magical Plants], Janna flicked her fingers, and a small fla of orange appeared at her fingertip.
“Next, I will demonstrate the fire affinity of the [Fla Vine].”
Sizzle—As the fire spread, under Janna’s precise control, the orange flas quickly enveloped the entire [Fla Vine].
Instead of withering, the [Fla Vine] twisted its body like a fiery-red serpent brought to life, writhing and growing rapidly beyond the flowerpot.
The [Fla Vine] was not Janna’s original creation. It was recorded in magical plant catalogs, classified as a fire-affinity magical plant that normally only grew in extre environnts such as volcanoes and lava fields, making it nearly impossible to cultivate under ordinary conditions.
Thus, the highlight of Janna’s project lay in her creative thod of altering the elental pathways within plant nuclei, successfully cultivating the [Fla Vine] in a normal environnt.
“That concludes my project presentation on [Cultivation of Active Magical Plants].”
Clap, clap, clap—Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Janna, recognized as the academic star of the second years, finally finished her project presentation.
At Mary Margaret’s signal, Janna picked up the flowerpot with the [Fla Vine] and returned to her seat.
