"I can do it, you can do whatever you want."
Yu Ling's answer might make those with a lewd sense of humor have impure thoughts, but the Holy Light Mage, known for his purity, is far from being so depraved.
When Funas heard Yu Ling say that he could treat her, he really had no intention of healing her. He simply picked her up and carried her out, settling her in his room.
Fortunately, the church was very large, and not many people came on a day of prayer, so no one else saw this action, otherwise there would definitely have been some misunderstanding.
"You wait here for a moment, I'll go find a crystal ball for magic testing."
Funas's attitude improved considerably, probably because he knew that Yu Ling would not become an ordinary person and would remain a magician.
"Yes, Lord Funas." Yu Ling appeared obedient, but inwardly she was regretting the departure of this humanoid charger.
Generally, magical talent is reflected in hair color, but that's at the time of awakening. Some people possess latent magical talent, which becomes more apparent after a magical talent level test.
It's possible that this is another ice-type talent of Yu Ling.
But doesn't Yu Ling know in her heart whether she has talent or not?
All he possessed was a divine soul with ice and wood attributes.
Before long, Funas placed a crystal ball, which he had found from who-knows-where, into Yu Ling's hand. The original owner's dark talent immediately resonated with it, and the crystal ball turned as black as ink, but it was then sealed and suppressed, returning to transparency.
Then came a pale blue color representing the ice element.
"As expected, it's an ice-type talent."
Children with magical talent are treated very differently from ordinary people or dark mages. Now, Funas needs to re-evaluate Yu Ling's whereabouts and can't just abandon her.
"Do I have a talent for ice magic?"
Yu Ling herself didn't know why the crystal ball would display the attributes of her soul energy. Perhaps it was because she could also manipulate the ice element in this world?
“That’s right, and your ice talent is an extremely high S-rank, and your dark talent is even SS-rank, which is very rare... It seems that the seal on your dark talent is not enough.”
Funas said thoughtfully.
Dark magic talent, like holy light magic talent, is a special talent that can influence others—one positively, the other negatively.
As a powerful Holy Light mage, Funas was well aware of this.
As for Yu Ling's current situation, it's less about the coexistence of ice and dark talents, and more about ice being suppressed by dark talents. That's Funas's assessment of Yu Ling.
"SS-rank?"
Yu Ling sighed in surprise. No wonder the original owner could become a major villain; her talent was so high. However, her ice element seemed quite low. It must be because the system was different, so the test was discounted.
His talent from the cultivation world, once transferred here, would surely be stronger than this weak magical world, right?
"Don't feel sorry for it, dark magic is not a good thing."
Furnas took the crystal ball and solemnly explained the implications to Yu Ling, adding,
“Your dark talent will corrupt another talent, so it’s better to seal it. I will carve a new seal for you, which may allow your ice magic talent to take the lead.”
"I will obey you, sir."
Yu Ling didn't care about any dark talent. Whether it was sealed or not, he could still use it whenever he wanted. His powerful soul made him so willful.
Funas was quite satisfied with Yu Ling's attitude. He changed off the extra clothes Yu Ling was wearing and used holy light energy as ink to draw a sealing array on Yu Ling's chest. Yu Ling looked pained, but she endured the pain without crying out. Her face was pale and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Before long, Yu Ling's hair lost its darkness and was dyed light blue by the ice magic energy drawn by her soul attribute. Her pupils were the same color, and this sky-like color swept away the gloomy feeling of the original owner's body under the dark talent.
"Where do you live? I'll use a spatial magic circle to send you back," Funas asked, withdrawing his hand.
The light in Yu Ling's eyes dimmed: "I have no home."
"orphan?"
"Um."
"No guardian? That's a problem. You don't seem like someone who can afford the tuition at Mancoborwa Magic Academy. It's a pity to waste such talent."
As an orphan himself, Funas knew how cruel the world was to ordinary people. As a result, Yu Ling, who was talented but had no power to protect her, was very likely to become a vassal of some forces.
Moreover, judging from his delicate and refined appearance, he may have endured even more hardships...
"It's alright, sir. There are many ways to learn magic. I'm already very happy to have a second magical talent."
Yu Ling, however, took it all in stride. Holding Furnas's hand, she smiled shyly and said...
"Thank you for the baptism of holy light for me. I can walk by myself."
Go out and create a high-profile pseudonym to carry yourself to new heights!
Fornas fell silent.
If Yu Ling were the kind of person who had the audacity to directly ask him to send him to the academy, he would definitely tell that brat to get as far away as possible.
But Yu Ling is so well-behaved; in a world where highly talented magicians look down on everyone, she's a rare find.
"Alright, you stay and rest. I'll take you to register when the new students in Mancoborwa start school in a couple of days."
Yu Ling: "Eh? Isn't this too much trouble for you, sir?"
"No, you just need to recognize me as your guardian."
Fornas's feelings towards Yu Ling had shifted from initial impatience to appreciation, so he naturally wouldn't mind this small, insignificant gesture. After all, a powerful mage could become a valuable connection.
"Just call me Furnas...brother."
“Okay, brother… brother. My name is Roy. Thank you for your help. You are such a good person.”
Yu Ling gave the other person a big hug from the bottom of her heart.
Hmm, and I'll also steal a few lives along the way.
To recap, this skill does not shorten lifespan; it simply recycles and utilizes the overflowing energy of powerful individuals. Naturally, the person being exploited will not notice. As a product of the system, even if it has been modified, it is still quite powerful.
The time for enrollment quietly arrived while Yu Ling was relying on others' lives...
Mancobolva Magic Academy, located in the royal city, is the most powerful gathering place for magicians in the empire.
It can be said that almost all the powerful mages with names and titles graduated from here. The teaching staff is strong, the student body is wide, and the talent of each student is no less than C-level. This makes it easy to distinguish between magic talents, most of whom have DEF talent.
Of course, in addition to talent, money, power, and connections are all indispensable for students to be admitted to Mancoborwa.
