Chapter 6: A Once-in-Two-Hundred-Years Genius

At this moment, I couldn’t see my mother’s expression, but I could guess that it must be extremely interesting.

“Teacher Anna, it’s you?!”

“Why can’t it be me? I’ve been teaching at the Glei Academy. It’s my duty to discover outstanding students for the academy. When I received Earl Davis’ letter, I was very surprised. I couldn’t believe that my most mischievous student, the crazy girl from the Laurence family, is now married with children.”

“Teacher Anna… That’s all in the past. Don’t mention it again…”

Mother stammered in embarrassment.

I inadvertently learned of my mother’s dark history as a student.

“Hmm, alright. Let me meet today’s protagonist. This must be little Jennifer.”

Great Archmage Anna agreed readily. She walked to Jennifer and squatted down. “Little cutie, show me the magic you learned.”

No sound came.

From my current position, I could not see what was happening between Great Archmage Anna and Jennifer.

“Jennifer, don’t be afraid. Don’t worry and summon your flames.”

Mother encouraged her.

I guess Jennifer was scared of the stranger.

A moment later.

“Wow, my god! My god! What a pure flame! How bright! And at such a young age. She’s simply a natural Fire Mage!”

Great Archmage Anna’s praise entered my eardrums.

It confirmed that my sister was indeed a genius.

“Teacher Anna, I ask that you test Jennifer’s magic attributes with the Test Crystal. I haven’t tested her yet. There might be other attributes.”

“What? Lilith! You didn’t even test Jennifer’s magic attributes?”

“Mm… Teacher Anna… You know, I don’t have any talent for teaching magic. Even if I test, I need to get a teacher to nurture her for me, so I haven’t specially tested her…”

“Oh my gosh! How can there be a lazy Great Mage like you in the world? I really don’t know which fool let you pass the Great Mage Assessment back then!”

“Teacher Anna, I’m a proper water and wind dual-element Great Mage. If Great Archmage George hears you, he will probably be displeased.”

“Still I have to say this, old man George is really muddle-headed!”

Great Archmage Anna stood up indignantly, turned around, returned to the carriage, took out a transparent crystal ball, and walked back.

“Jennifer, put your hand on it. Don’t be afraid. Just chant like you did just now.”

Mother bowed slightly.

I tilted my head hard and finally saw Jennifer putting her hand on the crystal ball.

As time passed, colors gradually began to appear on the crystal ball.

Red flames started burning first. After a while, some green tornadoes appeared on the crystal ball.

“Fire and wind, dual-element as well! This amazing talent, my god! Lilith, your daughter is like you, possessing rare dual-elemental magic!”

“As expected of my daughter! Darling, did you hear that? Jennifer has dual-elemental magic like me.”

“Yes, I heard you, dear.”

Great Archmage Anna and my parents were unusually excited.

Only my eyes were still focused on the crystal ball, because Jennifer’s hand hadn’t moved away.

A third pattern gradually appeared on the crystal ball.

That was… lightning?

I stared into the crystal ball and watched as the tiny lightning bolts began to grow, turning into purple lightning amidst the red and green.

That’s right.

There were really three attributes!

My sister, Jennifer, is more of a genius than they thought.

“Ah ba~”

I called out, wanting to remind my excited parents and Great Archmage Anna.

I didn’t know if it was because my voice was too soft or because the excited people didn’t take my cry seriously, but there was no reaction.

After thinking for a moment, I decided to use my ultimate move.

“Wa, wa, wa~”

“Will! Will, what’s wrong? Are you hungry?”

Amidst my loud cries,

Mother lowered her head in panic and hurriedly weighed me up and down.

Seeing that Great Archmage Anna and my father’s gaze had also shifted to me, I immediately stopped crying.

“Great Archmage Anna, Lilith, look at the Test Crystal!”

Finally.

Father spotted my sister, who was still touching the crystal ball.

“Oh my god! Am I seeing things? Jennifer has triple-elemental magic!”

“Two hundred years! This hasn’t appeared for two hundred years! There are actually three attributes! Earl Reinhardt, Lilith, I have to return to the academy as soon as possible and report this to the Principal. If you agree, I hope to let Jennifer enter the academy as soon as possible. I swear on the reputation of the Blake Family that I will protect Jennifer until she becomes a true Great Mage!”

After recovering from her shock, Great Archmage Anna solemnly swore an oath in front of my parents.

My parents looked at each other and finally looked at Jennifer.

“Jennifer, are you willing to follow Teacher Anna to the Glei Academy to learn magic?”

“Father, Mother, I’m willing to learn from Teacher Anna, I said I would protect Will. But can I wait another two months? I want to celebrate my fourth birthday with Will.”

Jennifer’s voice was soft, but unusually firm and serious.

I really have a great sister!

Somehow.

A lump grew in my throat, and the softest part of my heart seemed to be touched by something.

“Teacher Anna, look…”

Mother looked at Great Archmage Anna.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll come back after Jennifer’s birthday.”

Great Archmage Anna quickly agreed to this request. She took an exquisite gem from around her neck and squatted down.

“This amethyst is for you, Jennifer. Remember not to take it off. With it, you can boldly practice your magic without worry. I’ll pick you up in two months.”

“Yes, thank you, Teacher Anna! I will cherish it.”

“Good girl!”

Great Archmage Anna stood up and bade goodbye to my parents.

“Earl Reinhardt, Lilith, please don’t share the information that Jennifer has three attributes of magic power with anyone else for the time being. I will only report this to the Principal in the academy. This is also out of consideration of her safety.”

“We understand, Teacher Anna.”

“Alright, I’ll go leave now. There’s no need to send me off.”

Great Archmage Anna came and left in a hurry.

After watching her leave, my parents brought me, my brother, and my sister back to the house.

“What a surprise, Jennifer. Congratulations! We’ll be meeting at the academy soon. Did you know that you’ll probably be the youngest student there?”

“I know that now, Chris, but before this, I want you to take a look at our brother Will. He’s really good. He hardly cries. He’s so cute.”

“So his name is Will. Mother, hand Will to me!”

Just like that, I was put into the arms of my elder brother, Chris.
