When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 575: Chapter 3: We’re Already Late, Might as Well Skip Class_2 Chapter 575: Chapter 3: We’re Already Late, Might as Well Skip Class_2 The head of the Supervisory Bureau or elite Inspectors, as well as the bishops in small places, were only at the third Energy Level.

Even Sherlock had been nothing but a third-level Legal Mage before becoming a Mage.

But their application of extraordinary abilities was clearly much stronger than Isabel’s.

The same Energy Level, the same Transcendent power, even the same Extraordinary Skill, but different people achieved different effects with it.

…However, Mycroft played an indispensable role in Isabel’s significant progress.

Over the past month, Aiwass had hardly dealt with any political affairs.

Right after the national funeral, at the first round-table conference, Mr.

Mycroft Hermes, Sherlock’s brother, was installed by Isabel as the Seal Minister.

Now, he had been granted permission to reside in the Hall of Silver and Tin—his bedroom as the “Seal Minister” was even right next to Aiwass’s room.

Just as Aiwass had said at the time, Isabel essentially just placed the thick stack of documents directly into the box marked “Please hand over to the Seal Minister for processing” every day.

When there were important documents, Mycroft would definitely bring them to Isabel to review—by that time, Aiwass was usually beside her, so he would finish reading them and offer his opinions too.

But with the intention of nurturing Isabel, Aiwass no longer directly supplied the answers but instead asked her for opinions in an enlightening manner, then let her handle it based on Mycroft’s recommendations.

Although some decisions were difficult, it was not painful.

It was like having one-on-one tutoring with a mentor to solve challenging problems, and it even stirred a sense of challenge that aroused her inner pride.

—All of this was completely different from the sense of determined sacrifice she had thought of when she first ascended the throne, the idea of bowing and toiling until death.

Being a queen, the pressure was actually somewhat less than when she was a princess!

It was even somewhat relaxing!

All this was thanks to the vital lesson Aiwass had taught Isabel—early on, when Isabel had just succeeded to the throne, Aiwass told her that being a queen is like an actor on stage.

Simply maintain clarity, maintain a smile, keep a distance, speak reasonably, be likable, accurately portray the needed attitude, smoothly deliver the suitable lines, and you’re already a very good Monarch.

To go further, you just need to find and trust wise ministers…

and for the rest, the “wise ministers” will take care of it.

Aiwass was such a “wise minister,” and Minister Hermes was truly a wise minister.

Although Mycroft complained about the bothers every day and always talked of wanting a holiday, he was never sloppy with serious matters, nor did he harbor any personal desires.

There is nothing more trustworthy than a Transcendent of the Path of Dusk who is strict with himself and sufficiently loyal.

With this relaxation, Isabel could also calmly focus on enhancing her Path abilities.

If breaking through from the first to the second Energy Level tests whether there’s an affinity for that Path; moving from the second to the third Energy Level tests one’s learning ability for the Path’s Extraordinary Skills…

Then progressing beyond the third Energy Level demands a degree of Path compatibility.

In this process, it’s possible to lose control due to a skewed Path, fail to advance due to an inability to align with the mindset or rediscover the initial passion, or even be brainwashed by the Path’s power and become deranged.

Sherlock had reached the third Energy Level in the Path of Authority even before he graduated, and the reason he had been stuck for so long, his Legal Mage profession never reaching its peak without triggering the surge of the Path at the level cap, was because he had lost his heart of Authority and doubted his own Path.

In this past month, Aiwass, Sherlock, and Isabel had all fully assimilated their abilities—Aiwass was fine as his adaptability in Transcendence had long been maxed out.

During this period, he primarily cultivated the affinity of his Path of Devotion, studying various knowledge quietly from the library at school, and practicing the Blessing Skill, which he was least proficient in.

But Sherlock and Isabel were different.

Sherlock needed to focus on conducting research, solving major cases, to gain feedback from the Path of Wisdom.

But before that happened, his level lock on the Path of Authority had loosened autonomously…

He had reached the limit without any practice.

It was probably because he had truly reconciled with his past self and his parents that his self-imposed limitations had lifted.

As for Isabel, her confidence was gradually fostered by Aiwass.

“Prodigy” was a profession that could flexibly apply various abilities of the Path of Beauty—being a jack-of-all-trades meant being mediocre in everything.

In such a case, if one cannot use different abilities targetedly, they would definitely be much weaker than specialized professions.

So, Aiwass made himself a target, serving as the “training dummy” for Isabel to practice various abilities on.

Buffing, debuffing, control, spell damage, healing, illusion techniques, protection, mind reading, suggestion, detection…

And Aiwass would always give precise “revision suggestions.”
After all, Aiwass was not too unfamiliar with the Prodigy profession.@@novelbin@@

He knew what level each of Isabel’s abilities should be at, so even with Yanis gone, Aiwass could continue instructing Isabel as usual.

—In fact, it could be said that Isabel’s progress accelerated a lot after Master Yanis left.
