I have a Tantric panel

The lamp symbolizes—

Light, knowledge, reason, truth.

Truth is light.

It can pierce through the darkness, but it can also blind your eyes.

Those who pursue light will eventually see too many things they shouldn't see.

Information about [lights] flashed through my mind.

This time, Shane wasn't as surprised as she had been the previous two times.

Since the young ladies in the school and the professors in the art academy are all potential superhumans.

It seems reasonable that the eccentric detective downstairs is connected to the supernatural.

More importantly...

The [Soul Point] he had been longing for has finally been fulfilled, hasn't it?

"Shane...it's you, I almost didn't recognize you."

Lucius blinked, his tone light.

Contrary to his somewhat aloof appearance, he has a very approachable personality, and is even... a bit eccentric.

"It's only been a few days, but you seem like a completely different person."

"Mr. Lucius, it's been at least a month since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

"Hmm? It's been that long!"

Lucius opened his eyes wide and chuckled awkwardly.

"Oh, by the way, Shane, there's someone I need to introduce to you."

He turned and called into the house.

"Eileen! Eileen!"

"Lucius, you're so annoying..."

Amidst the murmurs of complaints, a girl who was less than 1.5 meters tall walked out of the room.

She and Lucius had the same eye and hair color.

Her features haven't fully developed yet, but she's already a beauty in the making.

A small tuft of hair on his head sticks up, as if he had just woken up.

Eileen had looked a little sleepy, but upon seeing Shane, she immediately straightened her face and spoke seriously.

"Hello, I am this detective's niece, and I will be staying here temporarily from today."

"I thank you on his behalf, Uncle, for your kindness and support."

Her movements were graceful and polite, clearly indicating that she had received a good education.

Lucius's lips twitched slightly.

"What do you mean, 'old man'? I'm not that old, am I?"

Eileen glanced at him silently, her meaning clear.

Lucius shrugged and continued speaking to Shane.

"My niece is a true genius. She is currently pursuing a master's degree and may go to Akarin University for further studies afterward."

"A master's degree?"

Xia En was genuinely surprised at this moment.

In other words, the girl named Eileen has already obtained a bachelor's degree.

In terms of academic qualifications alone, he has already reached the same level as them.

The question is, how old is this little girl?

They look like they've just started middle school!

Noticing his gaze, Eileen's face darkened, and she pursed her lips, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Sir, I am already sixteen years old!"

"……Feel sorry."

Xia En really didn't notice.

Even so, obtaining a bachelor's degree at the age of sixteen is by no means something that ordinary people can do.

He chatted with the Moriarty uncle and nephew for a while longer.

However, I was quite tired after interpreting the painting, so I had to say goodbye early.

Before leaving, Eileen brought out a plate of homemade cookies from her room as a parting gift.

After Shane climbed up to the attic, Eileen returned to her room to study.

Lucius then picked up his pipe and went out onto the balcony.

"Watson, what do you think?"

"He's a very promising young man, and he's hardworking and cautious enough—it's worth mentioning that he seems to have gone through something that makes him completely different from how he was a month ago."

The detective raised his eyebrows.

It's not easy to get such praise from an old friend.

"So, should we recruit him here?"

"No rush, besides, he seems to have already found his mentor."

"The scholars at Akarin University have always had excellent judgment."

Lucius remarked, "As long as he's not some madman obsessed with some kind of delusion."

"Maintain goodwill and continue to engage."

Another voice continued.

"If we are fellow travelers, we will eventually meet on the road ahead."

A soft, melodious bell rang out.

There was no one else on the balcony at that moment.

Opposite the detective stood only a graceful black cat.

……

……

Back in the attic.

The first thing Shane did was open the panel.

[Health (0→1)!]

The moment a [Soul Point] is consumed.

An invisible warm current surged out again, like the gentle sunshine shining on the body, dispelling the gray fog that had condensed in the muscles and lungs.

"call……"

Xia En took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

I felt that my breathing was completely unobstructed, and I didn't feel like coughing at all.

I've never felt so wonderful!

Those who have been ill for a long time understand the value of health even more.

Xia En stretched his body and felt much more relaxed.

Take another look at [Constitution].

Before we knew it, the progress had reached 55%.

All you need to do is rest well, eat well, and sleep well; you can break through from "-1" to "0" without spending any "Soul Points"!

Below the "Health" section, a line of smaller text appeared.

[Health (2) Preview: Self-Healing]

[The vitality of life flows within the body, wounds heal themselves like spring buds breaking through the soil, and external pathogens steer clear and cannot invade.]

Xia En touched his chin.

Upon closer examination, when [Art] reaches level (2), a new ability is actually unlocked—

[Analysis!]

Does this mean that each attribute will undergo a certain transformation when it reaches (2)?

So, what will happen when it rises to 3, 4, 5, or even higher?

Xia En was quite looking forward to it.

However, there is another line of text next to 【Health (2)】.

[This promotion requires meeting the following conditions: Soul Points *1; Constitution ≥ 0, Rationality ≥ 1]

How come health is being linked to rationality?

Mental health is also a form of health, right?

After making a couple of complaints, drowsiness washed over me.

Unusually, Shane didn't bother memorizing the complicated and difficult Latin texts. Instead, he lay in bed and quickly fell asleep.

In his dream, he seemed to return to the stage where the curtain had been drawn back.

This time, he accepted Aurora's invitation to dance together on stage...

……

……

Early morning.

Morning light pierced through the dark clouds, filtered through the lace curtains, and fell on the velvet bed.

Aurora slowly opened her eyes.

Her biological clock is actually very precise; she always wakes up at a specific time.

But today, she got up early.

the reason is simple.

Aurora had a dream.

In her dream, she actually saw her new teaching assistant, Shane Knox.

A young man with great potential.

As a transcendent being who had already embarked on the path of echo, Ara knew very well that this was probably not a coincidence.

Dreams are a projection of reality.

Meeting in a dream often means that their "spirits" have intersected in some special way.

"Is it that painting?"

Aurora seemed thoughtful.

"So fast..."

She thought it would take at least another month for Xia En to capture the spirit of "The Person in the Painting".

But the other party's talent seemed to have exceeded her expectations.

Aurora stood up and looked in the mirror.

The woman in the mirror is in the prime of her life, with an intelligent and beautiful face, possessing both the mature charm of a woman and the innocence of a young girl.

But the next moment.

Wrinkles slowly appeared on his face, his temples turned gray, and he looked like he was in his forties again.

The heart symbolizes vitality and energy.

Those who possess extraordinary abilities and master the mind will naturally appear younger and live longer than their peers.

However, in order to live a normal life in "this world", it is necessary to disguise oneself.

Ara, who was once called a "witch," understands this all too well.

Arriving at Akarin University by horse-drawn carriage, I pushed open the oak door to my office as usual.

The scene before her eyes startled her slightly.
