I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 282 The Expansion and Deepening of Laws
The heavy wooden door of the office closed gently, shutting out the slightly awkward but composed figure of the junior student.

The room regained its unique atmosphere, a blend of knowledge and solitude.

Professor Clark's gaze remained fixed on the complex energy structure diagram, his quill pen unconsciously tapping a node, breaking the silence as if by chance:

"That little Viola...it seems she's taken another step forward in terms of the laws."

Hearing this, Jemin was taken aback. He temporarily suppressed the subtle feelings he had for his junior and looked at his mentor with a puzzled expression: "Hmm? Mentor, why do you say that?"

Clark finally lifted his eyelids slightly, shifting his gaze from the drawings to Jemin.

Her tone was calm yet certain: "Although she likes to play pranks, she is essentially an efficiency-oriented person and rarely does purely meaningless pranks."

"I've made you come all this way for nothing, probably because... I want to use your reaction to verify some new changes in her control over the laws of the world."

He paused, then added, "If you have any doubts, you might as well contact her now and ask. That girl is probably waiting for you."

Jemin agreed, so he reactivated the communicator.

The light screen lit up, and Senior Viola appeared immediately, her face bearing the sly smile that Jemin knew so well.

She spoke before Jemin could even ask:
"Hey, junior... judging from your background, looks like you've already reached your advisor. How about it, feeling a little teased by your senior? Hmm?"

She deliberately drew out her words, carefully observing the expression on Jemin's face.

He then curled his lip, looking somewhat disappointed: "Tsk, still so calm. Not even a hint of pain or anger at being played. How boring! I wanted to collect some data!"

As Jemin listened to her words, a sense of unease arose in his heart.

Viola's choice of words and tone seem to suggest that she is now able to actively "control" or "need" the anger of others.

The emotions she can control are no longer just pain?

Moreover, it seems that this time the effect does not require close contact to take effect, unlike before?

Noticing Jemin's confusion, Clark, the tutor standing nearby, put down his quill and explained in his usual calm, knowledge-explaining tone:

"For a level six wizard to advance to level seven, the key lies in a deeper level of construction of the complete laws they control. There are two main directions."

“Firstly, it’s about expansion.” Clark stretched out his withered finger and drew a horizontal line in the air. “That is, to broaden the scope of the laws. For example, if you originally only controlled the law of ‘temperature’, you can try to expand to the higher-level law of ‘energy’, or even the law of ‘fire element’.”

"Those who go further can even make the way their own laws influence more...conceptual and abstract, no longer bound by specific forms."

"Secondly, it is about deepening." His finger moved vertically downwards again, "that is, without changing the scope of the law itself, vertically improving the depth and precision of the manipulation of the law."

"For example, instead of directly acting on the target, one can indirectly and more covertly leverage the thread of fate by influencing an event that is strongly related to the target, thus making the law take effect."

Upon hearing this, Jemin's eyes revealed a look of understanding.

I see. However, it seems that Senior Viola's abilities are showing signs of involving both of these directions simultaneously.

“Senior,” Jemin turned to the screen curiously, “which direction did you choose?” Viola immediately straightened her back on the other side of the screen, her face beaming with “Praise me!” She proudly announced, “Hmph! As a genius destined to be remembered in wizarding history, of course I choose—all of them!”

"Nonsense!" Instructor Clark scolded in a low voice, his tone stern. "The path of the laws requires a down-to-earth approach and a gradual progression! Do I need to teach you the lesson that you can't bite off more than you can chew?"

However, Jemin keenly sensed that beneath his mentor's seemingly reproachful words lay a hint of almost imperceptible...satisfaction?
He instantly understood that his mentor, Clark, wasn't truly against it, but rather using his own method to remind Viola not to be rash.

After all, among wizards of the same level, the difference in strength often lies in the breadth and depth of their understanding of knowledge.

Wizards who are capable of both "expanding" and "deepening" the laws of nature undoubtedly possess greater potential and stronger combat power.

“Jeming.” Mentor Clark turned to him, his tone unusually carrying a hint of admonition, “The path of a wizard is about self-awareness, and it is a virtue to act within one’s capabilities.”

"But remember, you must not underestimate yourself or limit yourself. Don't let the speed of others' progress disrupt your own pace. If you have the capacity, try to hone yourself to the limit at each stage and solidify your foundation... This will greatly benefit your future path."

These words struck Jemin's heart like a morning bell and a evening drum.

His expression turned solemn, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "This student will remember the teachings of my mentor."

“As for you…” Clark turned to look at Viola in the light screen.

"I never expected you to reach this level in less than three hundred years. I thought your previous eagerness and impetuousness would cause you to be stuck for a long time, but it seems... you are more planned than I expected."

Viola accepted her mentor Clark's praise with pride: "Of course, I've told you, I'm a genius!"

"In that case, our genius should be able to pay back the money he owes me soon, right?"

Upon hearing Clark's words, Viola's face immediately fell: "Ahem... well... oh dear, I suddenly remembered I haven't finished an experiment yet, I'll be going now!"

After saying that, the communication screen disappeared into a blur, clearly indicating that Viola had hung up the communication directly.

Seeing that the conversation seemed to be coming to an end, Jemin also bid farewell to his mentor Clark, not wanting to disturb his mentor's continued research.

However, just as he turned to leave, Professor Clark, without looking up, abruptly said, as if talking to himself:
"I went to the new college and started working smoothly."

Jemin paused, turned around abruptly, and looked at his tutor, who was still engrossed in writing at his desk, with some surprise.

He wanted to say something, but Professor Clark just waved his hand casually.

The teleportation array pre-set in the office was instantly activated, and a gentle yet irresistible spatial fluctuation enveloped Jemin.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the office filled with files and instruments and was teleported directly to the square outside the academy.

Standing outside the familiar tower, looking back at its towering spire, Jemin paused for a moment.

Finally, he smiled, shook his head, and boarded the teleportation array to leave.
