As the arena's dust settled from the intense duel, Asha found herself reflecting on the recent battle. Her loss to Alistair had stung, but the system's recent upgrade provided new insights that she was eager to explore.
With the system now at Level 3, it began communicating with Asha with greater fluency and depth. The upgrade enabled it to predict future outcomes and provide detailed information about various types of magic.
"Raphael, I have upgraded to Level 3. My capabilities now include predicting future outcomes and providing insights into the magical systems of this world," the system informed Asha. "I can now offer guidance on forbidden magic, dark magic, and light magic."
"Forbidden magic is powerful but perilous, as it often requires sacrificing the user's life force," the system explained. "Dark magic involves curses and debuffs that weaken and impair opponents. Light magic, on the other hand, focuses on buffs, blessings, and removing curses. Understanding these aspects will be crucial for your development and strategy."
Asha took note of this valuable information, realizing how it could influence her approach to future challenges. The ability to counter curses with light magic and understand the dangers of dark magic would be essential in navigating the magical landscape.
Meanwhile, Alistair watched from the sidelines, his frustration palpable. He had been seeking the Elder Treant for a significant period and felt a surge of jealousy and resentment as he saw Asha and her friends triumph where he had failed. The recent duel with Asha had only heightened his feelings of rivalry.
Alistair's gaze was fixed on Asha, his envy growing as he realized the potential she possessed. The fact that she and her team had managed to defeat the Elder Treant while he had struggled to do so only fueled his determination to surpass her.
With the system's enhanced abilities, Asha began to plan her next steps. The new insights into forbidden, dark, and light magic provided her with a strategic edge.
"The system's predictions will guide you in refining your strategies and preparing for upcoming challenges," it advised. "Use this knowledge to strengthen your abilities and anticipate future scenarios."
As the academy's next phase approached, Asha and her friends gathered to discuss their recent experiences. The duel with Alistair had been a pivotal moment, and with the system's new capabilities, Asha was better prepared to face whatever came next.
Determined and armed with newfound knowledge, Asha was ready to tackle the future challenges at the academy. The lessons learned from the duel and the system's insights would be instrumental in her journey forward.
