Vilgefortz was a man of great ambition. Of course, he would not spend all his time being a babysitter, even if he admired Olivia, who he had once thought to be nothing special.
Therefore, he asked his assistant and personal secretary – Lydia van Bredwater.
Lydia was a sorceress, but she was also a talented painter. One of her paintings hung in the Gallery of Glory. It depicted the meeting between Cregnan of Lorde and Lara Dorren. These two were the ancestors of Ciri and Olivia. Ciri's "elder blood" was inherited from the elven sorceress, Lara.
Lydia had survived an experimental accident at the cost of severe burns, a broken jaw, and a mutation in her throat. However, she had always resisted the rebirth spell, and used illusions to maintain her normal appearance.
She loved Vilgefortz, but he did not love her back. Due to their pride, they never revealed their true feelings to each other. Both of them were content with their inconclusive but stable relationship.
Lydia did not care much for Olivia. She thought that Vilgefortz had only accepted her as a disciple because of Emhyr. In reality, she had no talent in the field of magic.
However, it had to be said that the well-behaved and beautiful Olivia was just too likable. Raising her was like raising a pet that understood human nature, especially when compared to the naughty brat Ciri.
Ciri was too naughty. She was not like Olivia, who was taught alone. Instead, she was taught with other noble children of her age. As a result, as the "Lion Cub of Cintra," she had beaten the other noble children into submission, and all of them listened to her.
However, she was very obedient to her sister. Perhaps it was because her sister was too gentle with her. She gave her everything, and even fulfilled her dream of being a perfect princess. When she grew up, she would become her sister's guardian knight. This was her little dream.
Therefore, to make her sister more popular, she did not mind her image. This was the tacit understanding between her and her sister. They were connected.
Every time the naughty Ciri came to pick up her sister, she would always stir up trouble. Lydia complained to Vilgefortz, "Thank goodness you didn't accept Ciri as your disciple, or she would be disfigured for the second time."
Reality proved that the hatred of naughty children did not differentiate between worlds and nationalities. This made those obedient girls who knew how to act cute and coquettish even more likable.
At this moment, the sorceress, Lydia, was teaching Olivia. After Olivia had accumulated enough theoretical knowledge, it was finally time for her to learn magic.
A side quest had also appeared in Olivia's game system – learn to meditate.
A Warlock must first feel the magical elements in meditation, then use their own knowledge to guide them, combine them, and in this process, with the help of incantations and gestures, can the magic be released correctly.
Without a doubt, the faster a person could enter meditation, the stronger their bloodline was, and the easier it would be for them to learn magic.
Olivia's bloodline was not strong at all. Her sister Ciri's potential was too great. Ciri's talent was even greater than "Lord Vilgefortz's." That was why Vilgefortz desired her so much.
Source Warlocks, on the other hand, needed guidance and nurturing. Vilgefortz completely ignored Hiri. He didn't want anyone to know about Hiri's talent. When the time was right, he would make a move on Hiri. And that day was not far away.
Most sorceress were infertile, but this did not mean that they did not want to have children of their own. If they could not give birth, sometimes they could not help but find someone to rely on.
In the process of teaching Olivia, Lydia found someone to rely on. She even felt that she was more like Olivia's mother than the silly Princess Pavetta.
She even taught her drawing skills to Olivia. To her surprise, Olivia seemed to be extremely talented in drawing as well …
What she did not know was that Olivia had only used a single skill point. Her "Western Painting Skills" had turned from "03" to "13." Of course, painting skills were useful. Creating magic scrolls, runestones, and enchantments all required painting skills. Therefore, with just a single skill point, Olivia had quickly become a beginner. With her strong learning ability, she had naturally become a "painting genius" in Lydia's eyes.
When Olivia returned to the real world and became Zhao Youyue, she might not be able to inherit all of Olivia's skills. After all, she did not have a game system in the real world. She could draw directly by casting skills. However, if she were to learn how to draw again, she might be able to pick it up very quickly.
"Meditation is not as simple as drawing. It may sound easy, but it is like giving birth to wings on one's back. Some people can quickly understand how to fly with wings, and control them as if they were controlling their own hands. However, some people do not even know how to use wings at all. In Temeria Kingdom's Thanedd Island's Warlock Academy, every year, there are so many aristocratic children who are eager to enter it and learn the mysteries of magic. But ultimately, only one in a thousand can set foot on that path, and among them, there are many who can't even successfully meditate. " Lydia said faintly. She tried to lower her expectations. With the power of Olivia's blood, she might fail …
The Sorceress Academy was called Aretuza. It was located on Thanedd Island, northwest of the city of Goth Velen in Temeria. It seemed to have risen from the reef of Thanedd Island.
It was also one of the largest sorceress academies in the north. Contrary to the other sorceress academy, Bain Adde, this place specialized in training sorceresses. This made Thanedd Island a holy land for sorcerers in the north.
Becoming a student of this school was a supreme honor, but it also meant paying a high tuition fee. However, the academy would also waive tuition fees for girls with excellent magical talent. They would also recommend them to enroll and provide scholarships. In short, it was open to the entire continent. Among the students, there were beautiful, ugly, poor, and rich. There were many girls from noble families (like Margarita), and there were also many girls from poor families (like Yennefer).
However, the quality of education in this school was well worth the cost. The alumni of this academy were highly respected. After graduation, they would quickly find good jobs. The headmaster of this school was also a powerful sorceress, including Tisaya Devlis and the current headmaster Margarita Lux Antir.
As for famous alumni, they had to mention Triss Merigold and Yennefer of Vangerburg.
However, sorceresses had to be careful of a witcher nicknamed the White Wolf, because he was teased as a "sorceress pile driver" …
At this time, Olivia began to meditate according to the method taught by Lydia. She wanted to try out her magical talent. She would save skill points if she could. However, it turned out that she was just a side character. It was better not to overestimate her talent.
Lydia, on the other hand, showed a disappointed expression as expected …
