Apophis Understands

In Lailah's lab beneath the manor, she was currently lost in thought as she stared at the handful of ancient writings sitting in front of her.

"This is your only answer for increasing my mana? Superstition?" 

The target of her irritation was her mother Sei who was standing opposite her. 

These ancient texts had come from her, and were supposedly the answer to a problem that had been plaguing Lailah for a while.

"Do you believe what you ask is easy? If acquiring more mana without evolution was something simple, everyone would have as much magic as that bastard Helios." 

Lailah rubbed her temples as she took in her mother's words. 

In hindsight she should not have expected one of the keys to her evolution to have a simple solution. 

"But this... true magical body? I don't quite understand it's value." 

Unsurprisingly, the former witch queen rolled her eyes and snorted in contempt.
