Chapter 13: It's really great!

Witch Miss now greatly doubts life.

Her mood is like riding a roller coaster, constantly going up and down, unable to calm down.

When she saw the parentheses next to the gender, she froze.

The parentheses say 'not neutered, dead', meaning…… she actually should go get neutered?

Will this make her stronger?

Humans…… are they like this?

She had indeed heard some rumors, like 'if a woman has no man in her heart, drawing a sword brings natural divine power'……

Eh(ΩДΩ)……

Witch Miss, maintaining a serious and rigorous learning attitude, decided to study this subject thoroughly in the future.

After all, this concerns not only her growth, but also her Cat!

If her Cat also wants to become stronger, does she have to take it to the hospital to get something cut?

Upon seeing the lineage, Witch Miss's mood was complex.

Within the complex emotions were sadness, incomprehension, grievance, relief, and also a faint yet intense hatred that she didn't know how to deal with.

In her spiritual world, her memory of that nightmare she wanted to forget but couldn't became increasingly clear.

All that happened in her childhood played over and over in her mind like a lantern.

She could not forget that night before her mother's death, the words she spoke, the expressions she made, even any subtle expression on her face.

——Mom left everything she had to you.

You don't need to feel sad; you'll know, Mom has always been with you.

I know you don't like your father, that's fine.

From tomorrow on, you are my daughter, you are only my daughter.

Now, she fully understood the true meaning of these words.

Love?

Is this her love for herself?

This is absolutely not the way she sought……

What she wanted.

What she truly wanted was actually just……

Witch Miss did not continue thinking further; before she got worse, she hastily cut off the negative emotions related to this series of memories.

What she needs to do now is continue to look at the personal information listed by this miraculous 'Growth Guard System' for herself.

This is the first time she has understood herself in such detail.

She wants to know her abilities; she needs to know how to become stronger.

She carefully examined each datum given by the system and the evaluations noted below.

She was astonished that her HP value was far higher than the Association's announced average of 300, astonished that her constitution was only 6 points, astonished that her strength was comparable to a fighter, astonished that her agility was actually 42 points!

You should know, the average basic attribute values for awakeners published by the Association are 10!

She didn't expect that, aside from MP, her constitution would also be poor, but she never expected her talent to lie in strength and agility.

This……

(ΩДΩ)?

Why would a witch whose blood is full of magic power and a legendary great mage give birth to a warrior-type descendant?

She she she…… biological??

Wait a moment.

Shadow Witch.

This name always feels like I've seen it somewhere……

At this moment, Bai Yan's brain was racing, like browsing books in a library, eliminating and screening items related to this name……

Ah!

She remembered!

In the precious limited-edition《World Races Complete Explanation》collected at home, she had seen a few descriptions about witch bloodlines.

""Witch, as a Magic Power Revival, is a rare bloodline born among humans; due to its extreme rarity, its awakening conditions and elements cannot yet be studied.""

It is known that most witches' control over natural elements rivals that of elves; their bodies contain powerful magic, a special gift from nature to humanity.

But one kind of witch is very exceptional; she is like the dark night among elves; she is the other side of the witch.

The powerful magic bloodline grants her extraordinary physical talent, and communication with darkness and shadow, setting her apart from ordinary witches, making her a formidable foe feared by all magic professions.

This kind of witch is called——Shadow Witch

She…… actually is such a rare existence?

After carefully reading the analysis of the innate skills 【Shadow Witch's Blessing】, 【Shadow】, and 【Blade】, she further confirmed that her so-called Shadow Witch bloodline is exactly as described in the book.

(ΩДΩ)……

She now completely doesn't know how to put on an expression.

Abandon magic and take up the spear?

But…… will such a matching, conspicuous talent really not attract too much attention and be discovered?

——Never let anyone know I am your mother.

——Don't let others discover you are a witch!

No, cannot abandon.

What she needs to do is be an ordinary mage…… no, better to be slightly talented but with an obviously low ceiling mage so as not to arouse suspicion.

Even if in this process one would still be looked down upon and bullied, but…

Being alive is always better than being dead.

She's really talented! Truly!

As long as she can strive to live like a turtle, her becoming a strong one is already a certainty!

It seems that having a third party review one's talent really opens up one's thinking.

It turns out that the great obstacle in her learning magic all along wasn't because she was hopelessly stupid and beyond help, but because she had been putting her effort in the wrong direction…

It's really… great.

Although she still needs to find a way to work hard to improve her magical ability, her heart suddenly has support and comfort, and she really…

Really…

She feels so much more at ease.

She still has a way to become stronger.

As she kept repeating those words in her heart, Witch Miss's mouth corners rose in uncontrollable, relieved delight.

This has been the most peaceful day she's felt alive since secretly testing her magic power the night after her mother's death.

Really good.

I'm still fortunate.

Bai Yan won't forget that all this fortune came from Cat.

It's all thanks to Cat that she could fortunately obtain this amazing skill she'd never heard of before.

It's just…

Her happiness-filled mood was quickly wrecked by this so-called 'daily task'.

This…

Ah this…

The first four tasks Witch Miss could see the positive educational meaning and value of, but what is this fifth task???

Hmm???

And even more deadly, the task reward is actually a so-called dissected fireball, and… even… the Magic Capacity Expansion she wouldn't dare dream of!

We have to give it our all! Really have to give it our all!

Even if not for herself, she must do it for Cat, who gave her this gift!

After all, I am his mother!

……

In the mental world, the fervent, energetic image of Witch Miss was just seen by Cat, who had suddenly been transferred here.

So the listless Witch Miss actually has this passionate side?

Watching in the mental world, as the witch behind her seemed to be brewing blazing flames, Cat silently swallowed.

He… probably didn't overexert himself, right?

This 'System for Witch Miss' built using his own magic and referencing his own system is his proud masterpiece!

As an old father, this is his best solution after careful consideration, with absolutely no personal grudges involved.

Really!

After all, if he suddenly adopted an elder's attitude and told Witch Miss, 'You have xxx talent, you should do this, your personality needs fixing, the world is actually beautiful… blah blah,' he felt it couldn't fundamentally change or save Witch Miss.

She might still remain in this passive state, possibly unable to be actively optimistic in enjoying life or resisting all the injustices of fate.

He thought he needed to hand over the initiative to Witch Miss.

Whether to strive, contend, persist, or change—all these choices must lie in Witch Miss's own hands.

Cat's role is merely to whisper pillow‑talk, fan the flames, pour oil on the fire.

Although the process of breaking out of the cocoon to become a butterfly is arduous, the harvest will surely be abundant.

He doesn't want to impose his own ideal of resisting fate on Witch Miss, nor does he want to be like Witch Miss's mother, or like his own parents.

Although, those pains were also named love.

Moreover, he clearly remembers that in his most desperate times at school and at work, he too had wished for this world to give him a chance to resist fate.

He really can strive hard, he can give his all, pleading to that unknown great existence: save him, even if just to let him see a glimmer of light.

His humble plea got no response; he got no opportunity.

But now he can act in place of that god whose existence and actions are unknown, to help that tear‑prone witch who can't help crying in the dead of night.

So he chose to give it his all.

So he chose to take up his old trade again, writing code composed of magic‑infused text.

So he chose to help this witch who summoned him—though she's a bit foolish, a bit silly, a bit dull, she is nevertheless very pure and lovable.

After all, I am her father!
