Chapter 759: Second Transformation

The next day afternoon, Roland received Sharon’s ability report.

“That’s fast.” He raised his eyebrows as Wendy handed him the test sheets. “Has she accepted that she’s now a witch?”

“Yes, and in a calmer way than we’d expected.” Wendy laughed as she recounted the meeting from the previous night. “I’ve to say, her parents have brought up a fine child.”

“Hmm…” Roland was rather impressed himself. In this era, someone who could make such far-sighted considerations would already be considered a pioneer. Perhaps, this was how history had always been driven. As a belief was passed down the generations, more and more people were imbued with the same aspiration, and when the numbers reached a certain level, the world would undergo an extraordinary change.

As they say, a little spark can kindle a great fire.

Perhaps, Mankind had reached civilization by taking small steps like this.

He examined the details of the test, particularly the evaluation of magic power. As a witch who was awakened at the young age of 15, Sharon’s magic cyclone ability was of an above-average standard. It was even noted in the report that this was comparable to adult witches in Taquila. Evidently, Phyllis was present during the test – among the witches in Neverwinter City, she was often the one who was most receptive to the arrival of new witches.

Sharon’s ability was to generate electric currents. However, Wendy’s write-up on this section was rather vague, perhaps because the study of electricity was one of the more difficult topics within elementary physics.

When she increased the intensity of her electric currents, the consumption of magic power would rapidly increase, but her electric currents would become strong enough to break wooden planks and melt iron. At a weaker intensity, she would need to touch the object to produce an effect, such as lighting a light bulb, albeit she was prone to burning the filament.

As Sharon had only recently awakened, her control of magic power was very unstable. Wendy’s conclusion was that she was most suited to be a combat witch, while also having potential to assist in production.

Roland had no plans to do a retest. After all, he had no tools to measure electrical voltage and current, and therefore would not be able to obtain exact values.

Furthermore, Sharon would have to expend a lot of magic power to release high-voltage electric current. Her ability to maintain the transmission of electricity was obviously not as good as Mystery Moon’s Dawn I, let alone an electromagnetic gun.

But most importantly, all effects that were produced by magic power, whether it be Anna’s blackfire or Sharon’s electric current, did not necessarily comply with the related theories. Only when the abilities were transformed for a second time into other effects would they correspond with the knowledge he had.

In sum, it was already clear that Sharon’s ability had a lot of potential. Roland was certainly eager to know what kind of progress could be made when the essence of electric current was fully understood, as well as to see how much Sharon’s magic power would improve by as she grew older. But for now, it was best to follow Wendy’s recommendation to allow Sharon to practice on her own and focus on her studies, in which she had some catching up to do.

Roland thought about her strong sense of justice, and suddenly had an idea to admit her into the judiciary one day.

“An electricity-generating young lady patrolling the streets and arresting criminals… this seems to be exceptionally familiar.”

Without revealing his thoughts aloud, he nodded at Wendy and said, “We’ll do as you’ve recommended, many thanks.”

“My honor, Your Majesty,” Wendy bowed.
