Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 7: The Secret of Magic

"But teacher... isn't this..." Luo Qixi subconsciously denied, "Isn't this a consensus?"

That's indeed a consensus, and in Loki's own memory... ever since she started learning magic, her total magical power has never changed...

Is the teacher still... asleep?

Seeing Loki's incredulous expression, Cinderella gently shook her head: "Loki...you are a very diligent student."

"But sometimes... I tend to trust the books too much." Cinderella said, snapping her fingers as a ball of water slowly formed in her palm.

Then it slowly transformed into the form of a human child.

"According to my research, in childhood... that is, before the age of ten in humans... by constantly practicing magic and exhausting the magic power in one's body... one can continuously increase one's magic power." The little figure formed from water slowly changed as Sidrin spoke, and began to make the appearance of training magic.

"And when he turned ten..." She paused, letting the little figure grow a bit more.

"It will solidify when you reach the age of ten... Once you reach this stage, there will be no improvement in magic training..." Sidrin said, looking at the astonished Lokishi, and continued, "It's the same for demons, elves... other races and even vampires."

"Training during childhood can continuously increase the total amount of one's magic power."

"But teacher..." Luo Qixi asked subconsciously, "Does your...theory have any basis in reality?"

"Have you specifically tested this?"

"Of course, Loki," Cinderella shrugged. "Do you think I'm just making baseless guesses?"

"Then... what is that data... could you let me see it?" Loki asked slowly, looking at Cinderella earnestly.

The reason is simple: what Cinderella just said almost overturned the underlying logic of the entire magical world. This was something that no one could have imagined. It not only meant that she was wrong, but also that all magicians were, to some extent, failures... failed magicians.

Because none of them had ever started practicing magic in their childhood.

"I don't have the data... but... I do have a sample." Cinderella's words caused Loki's pupils to dilate slightly.

"Teacher, you... went to great lengths for a magic experiment... This is... This is immoral..." Luo Qixi's lips trembled slightly as she said this.

"You've raised a child specifically for research?" Cidelina pursed her lips upon hearing this. "I'm not that bored... Raising children is the most troublesome thing."

"Especially you non-vampires... you can easily get sick and die if you're not careful."

Upon hearing that Catherine had not conducted such inhumane experiments, Loki subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would do that?" Cinderella frowned slightly, as if realizing something.

"Well……"

It's hard to say... After all, if you even suck blood... it seems... it's not surprising that you would do something like this...

Loki looked a little guilty, which made Cinderella shake her head: "Loki... as a demon, you should understand how it feels to be judged by rumors and gossip."

"You should also know what it feels like to be hurt by unfounded words," Catherine said calmly. "As a magician... you should understand that practice is the only standard for testing theory, and similarly... any conclusion should be derived from reality."

"I...I'm sorry, teacher." Luo Qixi lowered her head slightly and said apologetically, "I was a little...preconceived."

How could I doubt Ms. Sylvania like that? She's been so serious about me and even gave me money... I hope I won't make her angry... If the principal gets angry, will I be expelled?!

Luo Qixi apologized several more times in a short while.

"I don't really care..." Catherine shrugged. "It's just a reminder..."

"When you get home today, copy the sentence 'Practice is the sole criterion for testing theory' a hundred times."

Are you really not bothered, teacher? But it has to be said that Cinderella's actions actually made Loki's unease slowly disappear.

Seeing that Luo Qixi seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief, Xi Delin pursed her lips slightly.

Did I say something too harsh? Actually, I was just a little bit annoyed... Okay... I'm a teacher... I shouldn't be so petty.

Sidlin coughed and said, "In any case... this theory itself has been tested in practice."

"Then...then teacher...what is this so-called sample?" Although Catherine wanted to continue, Loki was clearly still confused, and her voice trailed off: "Teacher doesn't specifically...train children, yet there's a sample..."

"What kind of sample is it?"

"Ah..." Sidlin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. She hadn't expected Loki to be so serious... but being serious about magical research is actually a good thing.

So she slowly got up and walked to Luo Qixi, then slightly opened her arms.

"Um?"

Seeing the slightly confused look in Loki's eyes, Catherine slowly said, "I am that sample."

"Hmm...hmm?!" Loki stared wide-eyed at Cinderella and said, "T-Teacher?!"

"When...when did you conduct the experiment?"

"Now," Cidelina said, tilting her head slightly, "it's been about ten years since then, hasn't it?"

"Now..." Luo Qixi's face showed an indescribable expression: "Teacher, didn't you say there was only childhood...?"

"Yes, that's right." Cidelyn nodded matter-of-factly. "I'm only a little over two hundred years old."

"She's still considered a child among vampires," she said, slowly sitting down.

"Hmm..." Luo Qixi was speechless for a moment... In other words, was her teacher actually just a... child?

A child who is over two hundred years old?

"There's nothing we can do about it..." Cinderella shrugged. "For vampires, most of their time should actually be spent sleeping..."

"And in a few years... I'll be past my childhood." Seeing Loki's increasingly strange expression, Cinderella coughed and said, "Anyway, you should know... based on my research on my total magic power..."

"My magic power is increasing with each practice session."

"Then...then teacher..." Luo Qixi thought for a long time, and finally decided not to think about the teacher's age anymore. She pursed her lips and said, "Is it...not too late for me to start practicing now?"

"you?"

Sidley raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

How old are you now?

"I'm 28 this year."

"28 years old... for the Migrudians..." Cidelyn muttered, counting on her fingers, "If you start practicing now... it's a bit late."

"But it's not entirely too late," Sidrin said, looking at Lokishi's lowered head. "The Migrudians stop growing after the age of fourteen... and then age rapidly around the age of two hundred."

"You're still considered a child among the Migludians... I guess you could say that?"

"..." Luo Qixi didn't know whether she should be happy or not... But speaking of which, is the teacher so familiar with the Migludian race?

After tasting Lokishi's blood for the first time, Cinderella immediately researched the subject.

"But strictly speaking, it won't be long," Catherine continued. "Around the age of thirty... your magic power should stop increasing."

"That means you have two more years." With that, Catherine slowly sat down and, under Loki's gaze, took out a quill and began to write something on a piece of paper.

As she wrote, she continued to ask, "So... have you practiced mana depletion before?"

"No...no." After leaving home, Loki had been living the life of an adventurer, and for an adventurer, the depletion of magic power was extremely dangerous.

"I see... Then there's still a lot of room for development... If we practice like this..." After a simple calculation, Cinderella handed a piece of parchment filled with writing to Loki.

"Starting today... you will begin practicing according to the instructions on this parchment."

"Okay... Teacher." Looking at the densely packed parchment, Luo Qixi didn't feel afraid; instead, she felt filled with fighting spirit. Her teacher probably wouldn't lie to her... so as long as she practiced diligently...

Your magic power will continue to increase...

Thinking of this, Luo Qixi pursed her lips and asked, "Teacher... since you know about this... why have you never... told anyone else?"

"?" Cidelina paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said calmly, "Why would I tell anyone?"

"Ah...this isn't something that can...make everyone..." Luo Qixi pursed her lips and stammered.

Cynthia shrugged: "Maybe she just didn't remember..." She wasn't that concerned about other people or other things... If she hadn't taken Loki as a student... she might not have even thought of it.

"If you want, you can tell others," Sidrin said, pausing as she looked at the hesitant Loki. "But... you'd better not tell your current friends or classmates."

"Because for most of them... it's too late now, isn't it?" With that, Cinderella slowly got up and walked to the somewhat stunned Lokishi's side.

"Alright... that concludes today's lesson."

"Next is the mealtime."

"Teacher...? Hmm!" Before Luo Qixi could react, she already felt a tingling sensation on her neck.
