Preparation for resurrection

Since I willingly revealed such a huge secret to her, she felt obligated to assist me. After all, if she was the one with the Magic System, she would've most likely kept it to herself, as she doesn't trust anyone enough to share such information.

Sometime later, Miss Camille brought me to a large room in the basement.

"Wait here for me. I will be back." Miss Camille said to him before leaving through the staircase.

I stood there in silence until she returned.

Miss Camille retrieved a Mana Absorbing Dummy from her spatial storage and placed it in the center of the room.

"I would like to see your infinite mana. Use the magic spell with the highest mana consumption." She explained to him.

"Highest mana consumption, huh? That would be the perfect recovery."

"Perfect recovery?! That is a tier 8 spell!!"

"Recovery spells doesn't affect pratice dummies do they?"

"Hmm... Then let's do this." Miss Camille pondered for a while before taking out a sword from her spatial ring and mutilating her left arm.

"Use perfect recovery on this..." She said while gritting her teeth.

"Perfect recovery." I casted instantly.

Miss Camille's eyes widened on seeing that I insta-casted a tier 8 spell. She didn't expect me to even be able to cast the spell. She had prepared a legendary grade holy potion incase I wasn't able to cast it.

After recovering, Miss Camille kept back all the things in her spatial ring.

"Since you're already here, why not stay for dinner?" Miss Camille suddenly said to me.

"If you don't mind." I nodded.

After returning to the first floor of the mansion, Miss Camille called for Sophie.

"We'll have a guest for dinner tonight."

"I understand." Sophie nodded.

Once she left, Miss Camille said to me, "Dinner won't be ready for another half hour, you should go clean your body before then. Did you bring another pair of clothes?"

"No. I don't carry around any of my stuff."

"Then... We will give you some old clothes."

Miss Camille showed me the bathroom a moment later before leaving me alone.

"Go downstairs to the first floor after you're done. The dining room is to the right."

"Okay." I nodded.

After cleaning myself in the large bathroom, I changed into the clothes provided by Sophie before making my way to the dining room, where Miss Camille was already sitting at the dining table.

Sometime later, Sophie showed up at the dining room with many dishes.

After dinner, Miss Camille said to me, "I will drive you back to the academy."

"Okay." I nodded

The two of us drove back to the academy shortly after.

On our way there, I asked her, "Miss Camille, if only you and Sophie live in that house, then why do you have men's clothing?"

Miss Camille silently pondered for a moment before speaking, "It's from someone I knew.

"Someone you knew? Who?" I asked.

After a moment of hesitation, she spoke in a low voice, "My older brother."

"Huh? You have an older brother?"

"I used to have one. He died, and he was around your current age when he died. I was only 7 years old then."

"I'm sorry…"

"It's fine. It's been 2 decades since his death."

I didn't continue to question her sany further, as I felt that her mood was getting heavier.

Before dropping me off at the academy, Miss Camille said, "Meet me tomorrow at the Training Center as usual."

"What about Nina?"

"I will deal with her."

"All right…"

After returning to my room, I looked at Leo lying on the bed with a pondering look on his face.

"Where did you go?" Lilith asked me.

"I went to talk to Miss Camille."

"Miss Camille?!" Leo stood up.

Lilith then asked, "So what happened?"

"I have convinced her to help us again but to do that, I had to tell her about the magic system."

"Magic system?!." both of them shouted.

After that, it took me a few hours to tell both of them that I also have the same system as Leo. Leo was glad that there was someone else who can understand his circumstances while Lilith was confused and horrified by seeing two people with unlimited potential.

The following day, after class, we went to the Training Center, where Nina Wraith was already waiting.

"What are you doing here?" Leo asked her in an annoyed voice.

"What else? I'm here to help you train your magic."

"About that… I no longer need you to help me train my magic." He said.

"What? Why not?"

"Because I will be training them." Miss Camille said as she entered the room.

"You?" Nina was speechless when she saw Miss Camille.

"Nina Wraith, we need to talk about your nonsense regarding the resurrection magic." Miss Camille approached her.

"If you're going to try to convince me to give up on my goals like yesterday, you can forget about it. I won't change my mind even if you kill me." Nina stubbornly said.

"No, it's actually the opposite. I am going to help you resurrect your mother."

"You're going to what?" Nina Wraith couldn't believe her own ears and stared at Miss Camille with a look of disbelief.

"I don't believe you! Why would you suddenly want to help me when you were so against it just yesterday?! There's no way you can change your mind that quickly!"

"Due to circumstances which I cannot tell you about, I have decided to assist you. However, I am not helping you because I want to— this I want you to keep in mind. Furthermore, it would be more dangerous to leave the three of you alone. If I am here, I will be able to make sure that nothing will get out of hand."

"I don't need your help. I only need Leo's help." Nina snorted.

Leo suddenly stepped in and said, "I won't do this alone, so if you won't accept her help, then you can forget about my help as well."

Nina gritted her teeth before speaking in a frustrated voice, "Fine! She can help!"

"We're going to start training now. You can leave since you're no longer needed here." Miss Camille said to her a moment later.

"I am going to stay and watch him train!" She said as she stood firm.

"Is that so? As long as you don't interfere with our training, I don't care what you do." Miss Camille casually said.

Nina didn't say anything else and walked to one of the walls before taking a seat.

Training continued for a few hours.

"Then I will see you here again tomorrow." Miss Camille said before leaving the place.
