All in all, tonight’s problem had been resolved without danger.
After dinner and tea, according to her usual routine, Jasmine would read her magic notes for a while before going to bed.
But today, she had to tutor that bottom-ranked classmate of hers.
The study room was brightly lit.
Even though she felt quite critical of this classmate in her heart, Jasmine still took the tutoring seriously. After all, the dangers inside the dungeon were very real.
The Academy could never guarantee their safety one hundred percent, so the stronger a teammate became, the better for everyone.
“Remember, the magic particles in the air cannot be directly fused and used. Unlike the mana that naturally recovers within your body, these particles contain many impurities. They must go through a spell extraction process before they can become usable energy.”
“If... I use them directly, what will happen?”
“Use them directly? That depends on what kind of elemental particles you use. If it’s fire particles, your body might start burning from the inside out. If it’s water particles, natural water could appear out of nowhere inside your bloodstream...”
Jasmine tapped her notebook and frowned. “This should be basic knowledge you learned in class. How come you don’t know any of it?”
Honestly, it was just like when I first started learning magic myself.
Maisy scratched her head awkwardly. “You know me. Whenever I see all those numbers and lines, I just get sleepy.”
“......” Jasmine was speechless. At this point, she had already realized something: most of the time, human ability doesn’t necessarily grow proportionally with age.
The slowpoke in front of her, older than her by several years, was proof of that.
Already eleven, and still looked so stupid.
“Jasmine, could you go over how to purify the magic particles in the air again?” Maisy knocked her head in frustration.
“Haah... fine. I’ll explain one last time...”
......
Late at night.
Jasmine finally finished tutoring her classmate. Exhausted, she returned to her bedroom and collapsed onto the soft bedding. Mmm... it smelled like her mother.

The doorknob turned, and Vieya came in holding a cup of hot milk. She looked at the golden-haired fluff lying on the bed and said gently, “If you’re tired, have some hot milk. I added three spoonfuls of sugar—it’s just the right temperature.”
“Mmhm.”
Jasmine threw herself into Vieya’s arms, hugging her tightly, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) then nestled against her like a little kangaroo. Taking the milk, she sipped it lightly and sighed, “I didn’t expect teaching someone magic to be even more tiring than learning it myself.”
Vieya didn’t reply, only began massaging her daughter’s shoulders with soft, careful hands.
At first, Jasmine felt a bit awkward, but soon her head filled with pink bubbles from how good it felt.
Uhh... maybe a little too good.
After finishing the last sip of milk, Jasmine turned her face slightly and asked, “Mom, did you send Maisy home?”
“I asked your cat sister to take her.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“Oh... then, Mom, next week we’ll be going into the dungeon with the Academy group. Will you come too?”
“I will. But I won’t help you cheat.”
“That’s fine, Mom. The Academy said we’ll only hunt monsters for points within the first five explored layers. Beyond that, professional staff will be stationed there, so students aren’t allowed past the fifth.”
“The first five layers, hm? Are you confident? This will be your first time personally hunting monsters.”
“No problem, Mom. Teacher Anna taught me plenty of escape spells.”
“But I’m still a bit worried.”
“Mom... your little falcon is getting ready to leave the nest and soar into the sky.”
