The twister that surrounded Gina was not a result of Gina’s magic going out of control! Instead, it was as a result of Gina’s newfound Sagehood going out of control!
Gina’s body was still in the meditative position that it had been earlier, and even though Gina was meant to be in perfect control of her power right now, her abilities were going out of control because her body was not yet powerful enough to handle the sudden spike in her Sagehood. The reason for this was simply because Gina’s body had not gotten the required Upgrade Points from the system. But the moment Jason saw the notification telling him about Gina reaching the required Hierarchy Progression for an upgrade, Jason sent the necessary upgrade points, and a notification appeared in the air!
[The subordinate [Gina Fey] has been upgraded from Bishop Rank I to Bishop Rank II]
[The Subordinate [Gina Fey] has fully unlocked the skill [Sage]]
[Current Sage Progression: 50%]
[The Subordinate [Gina Fey] has unlocked the unique ability [Spirit Arts]]
[Spirit Arts: This is a special branch of magic that is only known to very few within the Primordial Expanse due to the limited number of mages capable of achieving it. The Spirit Arts are a branch of magic that can only be used by mages who have dedicated their life to one branch of nature magic, and have also achieved the venerable title of [Sage]. Those who possess this art and gain the favour of the Spirit Rulers will be capable of contracting with a Spirit Fairy, which will serve as their companion and aid during battle. The amount of power that a [Spirit Arts] user can draw from their spirit depends entirely on the [Synchronization] level between the two, as well as the current base power level of the [Spirit Arts] user. At the height of [Synchronization], A spirit is capable of raising a [Spirit Art] user’s abilities by one full rank.]
[Current Spirit Arts [Synchronization] level: 2%]
[Due to the achievement of acquiring an entirely new Magical Art, the subordinate [Gina Fey] has gained a significant increase in her Hierarchy Progression.]
Inside the [Morive’s Paradise], Jason felt a grin spreading on his face as he saw the new abilities that Gina had unlocked from her training, and Jason couldn’t help but feel like it was only a matter of time before she became one of his most powerful subordinates! Jason quickly brought up Gina’s tab to see how it had changed.
——
[Gina Fey]
[Bishop Rank II]
[Hierarchy Level: 5 [61%]]
[Subordinate Count: 50/500]
[Upgrade Points: 0/10,000]
[Upgrade Limit: ???]
[Independent Action: S Rank]
[MP: 500,000]
——
Jason grinned in pride as he saw the fruits of Gina’s efforts right in front of him. Not bad at all!
Back in the Lake of Rememberance, the moment Jason sent the upgrade points, Gina’s powers suddenly went through a transformation as they began to increase even more! The sudden change that Gina went through wasn’t something that just anyone would be able to notice! As a new Sage, Gina no longer needed to consume as much mana as other people in order to activate her spells! Right now, Gina’s Sage Progression was at 50%, and this meant that when carrying out her most taxing spells or attacks, she would only need to use 50% of the total mana required by the magic spell! But for small attacks or flight, Gina didn’t even need to use any mana at all since nature had accepted her as one of its own!
So even though she was still not yet a fully fledged sage, it was already difficult for a lot of the people around her to notice just how much her powers had grown in that short time! But as a fellow Sage, Farlow was one of the only people who noticed Gina’s sudden power-up immediately! Farlow felt shock pass through his body when he felt the twister grow even more powerful, and he realised that he had to put a stop to this before Gina affected the garden with her powers. Farlow put his hand towards the twister, and he activated his Sage abilities and began to negate the twister by sending the wind in the opposite direction! But Farlow frowned as his initial attempt failed, and he had to exert an even greater amount of power to fight back against Gina’s abilities.
’At this level, she should already be a TITAN Rank I. No, she’s close to reaching Rank II. It won’t be long before she is just as powerful as I am. How does someone grow this quickly in such a short time? Both she and Jason, there’s something different about them.’
Farlow’s eyes narrowed as this thought went through his mind, but Farlow shook those thoughts out as he increased his concentration to try to contain the twister, and it was only his experience from years of battle that allowed him to overpower Gina’s Sage abilities and bring down the twister without causing any harm to the garden. Once Farlow brought the twister down, the soldiers who had been waiting outside quickly marched into the garden with their weapons ready in case they needed to support their King. Farlow raised his hand to stop the soldiers from advancing towards Gina, and he just watched as Gina continued to meditate. This continued for the next few minutes, and Farlow waited patiently until he saw Gina let out a gentle breath as her eyes began to flutter open. Gina slowly floated off the ground and landed gently on her feet, and Farlow tried to understand just what it was that he was looking at right now. How was something like this possible? It hadn’t even been five full days yet since he gave her this task to become a sage, and yet Farlow could see the winds of nature flowing around Gina like a second skin! As of this moment, Farlow knew without a doubt that Gina had achieved the true power of Sagehood!
Gina looked around at all the soldiers standing in front of her, and she gave them an apologetic smile when she saw how tense they were. Gina’s spirit had been drawn out of her body to meet with the Spirit Queen when she achieved her Sagehood, and that was why she couldn’t control her powers. Gina was just thankful that she hadn’t caused any damage to the garden with that twister. Gina turned to Farlow, and she noticed how Farlow was staring at her in shock. Gina would be lying if she said she didn’t understand why he was so surprised. It wasn’t normal for anyone to awaken as a Sage this quickly, and Gina couldn’t help but feel proud of herself for her achievement. Gina glanced to the side, and she felt her eye twitch as she heard a voice echo through the air.
’So this is where you did your training? Well, I suppose it’s not as pathetic as I thought it would be! There is some nature mana to be felt here, even though it barely amounts to anything! And from the crowd in front of you, I suppose you are a member of some royal family? Good, my contractor has to be at least that influential before they can gain even an atom of my respect!’
The tiny fairy princess, Ulyn, floated out from behind Gina’s hair, and Gina rolled her eyes at her in annoyance. But Gina was shocked when she heard a gasp from Farlow, and Gina turned to see Farlow staring at where Ulyn was with wide eyes! Farlow couldn’t believe what he was seeing right now! Farlow had already been shocked enough by the fact that Gina managed to become a Sage so quickly, but the fact that she had also gained the trust of a fairy and become a Spirit Arts user was even more shocking! The privilege of becoming a Spirit Arts user wasn’t something that you could reach with simple training! The only way to gain that power was by gaining the respect of the Spirit Queen of Wind and impressing her enough for her to assign one of her children to you as your companion!
