Scientific Wizard

"This is the new magic you've been researching? The power is impressive, already ranking among higher-level magics just in terms of destructive force..." Aurora remarked with a playful tone. It was the first time she'd encountered a third-tier wizard developing a high-tier magic theoretically reserved for grand wizards.

"Can you tell me how you managed this?" Aurora asked, brimming with curiosity.

"Every magic can be expressed through the principles of the Aosu formula. I used it to construct the spell framework for 'Spatial Ripple.'" Lynn casually fabricated a reason, after all, the existence of the magic net couldn't be revealed casually.

But it wasn't entirely nonsense; theoretically, it could be achieved.

If it couldn't be done, then it would be due to insufficient understanding of Aosu, not something to blame Lynn for.

"Aosu?" Aurora nodded thoughtfully. She had been present during Lynn's presentation at the symposium, especially the law of universal gravitation, which could calculate changes in spatial curvature through formulas, a truly miraculous feat.

However, she also realized that casting higher-tier magic outside one's level was extremely strenuous for Lynn. He frequently consumed magic potions, indicating a workaround rather than a genuine breakthrough.

"Aurora, are you... okay?" Lynn's gaze inevitably fell to the witch's waist. The gash caused by 'Spatial Ripples' was evident—a person cleaved in two, yet standing here and conversing.

Aurora evidently noticed Lynn's gaze, lightly chuckling. She then placed her hand on the severed area, lightly stroking it. The rift seemed to vanish as if erased by an eraser, disappearing without a trace, even the clothes' damage restored.

Lynn felt a chill; this was harm caused by spatial distortion, vanishing so effortlessly.

Seeming to understand Lynn's astonishment, Aurora gently reminded, "No matter how powerful magic is, if you don't target the right thing, it's just a waste of effort..."

The right target? Lynn paused, and numerous speculations flooded his mind.

Rapid regeneration? Scapegoat? Time reversal? Or perhaps bodily energy conversion?

But Aurora didn't seem inclined to explain further.

Lynn's fluctuating emotions soon settled. He didn't feel disheartened by the failure of the new magic; he developed 'Spatial Ripples' to counter grand wizards, an attempt to threaten a legendary wizard was clearly an overestimation.

That was why he didn't show obvious hostility towards Aurora.

"Secondly, I'm curious, how did you discover me? Did my magic have any obvious flaws?" Aurora looked at Lynn with interest, inquiring.

She developed polarizing magic, not merely affecting vision but also considering magical factors, even evading most detection spells. Logically, it should have been quite perfected...

However, being recognized twice in less than a month, especially by a third-tier wizard like Lynn, left Aurora somewhat frustrated.

"Smell." Under the legendary witch's gaze, Lynn calmly replied, with no intention to tell the truth.

After all, the sensation of someone silently approaching was eerie, particularly different from the last attack. Aurora's invisibility magic was challenging to detect, even his protective magic at the door was useless.

Smell? Aurora instinctively raised her sleeve to smell but quickly realized, given her current state, it was impossible to acquire any scent.

It was evident the other person was trying to deceive her... Realizing this, Aurora's gaze turned dangerous.

Lynn quickly diverted the conversation. "Aurora, are you... not leaving yet?" His expression subtly hinted at her departure.

"If you wish, I could consider it. But perhaps another time..." Aurora pursed her lips, then her graceful figure disappeared from Lynn's sight.

"Goodnight, my twany star." The witch's clear and pleasant voice echoed in the spacious practice room, finally dissolving into the night.

Yet, Lynn's expression twitched imperceptibly because he distinctly felt the subtle changes in spatial curvature where Aurora had stood, signifying she had simply turned invisible again, not actually left.

Lynn felt speechless, unable to force her departure. He pretended not to notice and resumed experimenting with the new magic, acting as if she didn't exist.

At least from the phrase 'twany star,' it was evident that it was indeed Aurora and not someone using shape-shifting magic to impersonate her.

Hidden within her polarizing magic, Aurora deliberately cast a spell to block any scent. Seeing Lynn resume his magic practice, seemingly unaware, she fell into deep confusion.

Could there really be something very noticeable about herself?
