65 Sharing Secrets

While she was on her way out, Professor Ashcroft gave Wolfe one final bit of advice. "If you have extra mana stones, give them to your Witches so they can use the mana to cultivate their aura. If they score high enough on the midterm and semester finals, they can challenge the exams to move into the second year early.

Not many Witches ever choose that route since they still need to pass the year-end exams but at the second-year level. I think those two could manage it, though.

No offence to you, Reiko and Mary, but having a Demon Familiar is nearly a cheat code for your early development. Your Familiars need to grow into their power while Wolfe is already there."

She had a point. Pup and Flame were growing in power quickly, but only because their Witches were. Wolfe was way ahead on the power curve.
