After a week of tutoring sessions with Classmate Tsukasa, Spider Child had basically confirmed Classmate Tsukasa's uniqueness. Although Classmate Tsukasa's strength wasn't very high yet, this rate of progress could only be described as terrifying.
Even Sophia, who possessed the powerful Vampire race, didn't have such fast progress when she first received the lessons, even though Sophia's focus and effort back then weren't even a tenth of Classmate Tsukasa's. However, the powerful racial advantage of being a Vampire was there; under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Classmate Tsukasa, as a human, to exceed Sophia's record.
So it was already certain that Classmate Tsukasa was an abnormal person. Furthermore, if Classmate Tsukasa could continue to grow at this rate, she might soon surpass the Sophia at home. At this point, Classmate Tsukasa was not just unique, but had also become a very useful combat force.
Now Classmate Tsukasa was already capable of conquering the lower layers of the dungeon. Although her level hadn't increased much due to a lack of time, Classmate Tsukasa's combat power clearly couldn't be measured normally through level. Spider Child felt that it was already time to bring Classmate Tsukasa into the Demon Lords Army. As for the matter of level, that could be considered after Classmate Tsukasa entered the army.
"I'm full."
Tsukasa finished the dark cuisine made by Wakaba-san without changing her expression. Although she couldn't gain poison resistance this way due to lacking an eating skill, this dark cuisine did indeed allow her to learn some strange skills. Additionally, since she couldn't resist Wakaba, she accepted reality. For this reason, she had even spent skill points to acquire the skill Sense of Taste Control.
The skill Sense of Taste Control is a type of Heresy Magic. Tsukasa's Heresy Magic was also different from ordinary Heresy Magic; her Heresy Magic branch choice was Five Senses Control. Originally, she was still hesitating over which sense to start with, but under the torture of the dark cuisine, she decisively chose taste. This way, she could turn off her sense of taste and reduce the damage from the dark cuisine.
After finishing the dark cuisine, Tsukasa went to Miss Fairy's side to meditate as usual. Back when she was injured, she would come here to receive treatment. Those days were truly miserable; every day, either several holes were opened in her body, or her arms and legs were broken. If not for Miss Fairy's miraculous healing magic, she definitely wouldn't have survived Wakaba-san's hellish training sessions.
Spider Child had originally thought about directly taking Classmate Tsukasa back to the demon territory using the spatial teleportation skill, but she didn't expect Classmate Tsukasa to give her no opportunity to bring it up. She saw Classmate Tsukasa just go to that fairy as usual and didn't notice anything amiss. However, just to be safe, she still crouched on a rock and stared over there.
Although she didn't think Classmate Tsukasa would run away—because there was no reason to run away, right? She truly wanted to protect the Transmigrator and had come with sincerity to invite Classmate Tsukasa to join her army. Classmate Tsukasa had no prejudice against demons either, so no matter how she looked at it, there was no reason to flee from her. However, while Classmate Tsukasa had no reason to run, that fairy was another story.
Speaking of which, she hadn't even monitored that fairy, and had even deliberately given
that fairy the space to escape, yet that fairy just wouldn't run. It seemed this fairy really intended to snatch Classmate Tsukasa from her. But that was an impossible delusion. Although she didn't know how big of a deal this fairy was, she could easily string this fairy up and beat her now!
Tsukasa looked at Miss Fairy and asked in her heart, "Are you ready?"
Miss Fairy didn't answer using Telepathy, because that monster also had the Telepathy skill, and using it would be detected. So, she just blinked and gave a confident smile to tell Tsukasa the answer. All the preparations were complete because that monster had looked down on her too much and didn't care at all what she was doing in the corner when Tsukasa wasn't home.
As expected, a monster is a monster.
Even if they were originally a Reincarnator.
Now, they are just a brainless monster.
Miss Fairy felt a bit smug for a moment. Being looked down upon by that monster had left her feeling very frustrated. One must know that as the former Fairy Queen, she could be said to be the strongest ruler in the forest. Even having fallen to her current state, she had to show this brainless monster one thing: she must never be underestimated!
"Then let's begin." Tsukasa ended her meditation.
Her MP had recovered.
She opened the skill tree.
Acquiring the skill required 500 skill points.
After acquiring the skill...
...Flash appeared as an independent skill.
The level of Light Magic reset to lv1, and the skill branch below it became Heavenly Realm.
Magic power gathered instantly, a magic circle unfolded on the ground, and the Heavenly Realm skill activated. A crystal-like barrier enveloped Tsukasa and Eidor. A 5x5 range meant a distance of five meters horizontally and vertically centered on Tsukasa, but this range could be controlled. After all, for Tsukasa, controlling the power of magic was already something she was accustomed to.
At the same time, Miss Fairy's ultra-long distance spatial teleportation magic also activated. It turned out that her scribbling in the corner these past few days was to draw the magic circle for this magic in the most primitive way. This was because if she had constructed the magic circle with magic power, she would definitely have been discovered by that monster. To this end, even the script she used to draw the magic circle consisted of ancient Fairy Race runes.
In the end, Spider Child suffered for being illiterate.
Seeing the commotion on Tsukasa and Eidor's side, Spider Child quickly responded. It used the high-level magic Dark Spear to fiercely attack the Heavenly Realm domain, but after only a Flash of electric light like a shock, the light barrier didn't suffer the slightest damage. By then, the spatial teleportation magic was complete; in less than 3 seconds, Spider Child could only watch helplessly as they disappeared.
"..."
I actually messed up? Spider Child looked at the fragments of light left behind as the Heavenly Realm domain dissipated. It hadn't expected Classmate Tsukasa's mutated skill tree to be able to develop such a skill, which was even more powerful than the Light Magic of the Hero she knew. However, that skill wasn't absolutely invincible after all. If her Main Body had been here, the Main Body should have been able to break it with a single hit using Rot Attack.
But saying all this now was just being a Monday morning quarterback. As far as the result was concerned, Classmate Tsukasa and the other had successfully outmaneuvered her and escaped from right under her nose. Hmm, this was truly unexpected; she actually had quite a bit of confidence in her own strength.
She had thought that coming to invite Classmate Tsukasa was a foolproof matter, but Classmate Tsukasa had taught her a lesson at the very end: even when holding an absolute advantage, looking down on the opponent can lead to failure.
