Magic High School.

At the bedside of the patients appeared people from the interrogation department and the execution department.

"The interrogation results are in. These undead aren't even a native species; they're enemies pulled from some unknown plane of the warp. That's why they're far stronger than other races in this world," said the senior member of the interrogation department.

"As for their deaths, there's no need to worry. The interrogation results are in. After they arrived in this world, they were suspected of carrying out massacres, human breeding for resources, genocide, and inhumane human experiments. Therefore, even the Church of Order will not protect them. Hence, your mission rating this time is A. The reason for the deduction is that if you discover anything beyond your ability to handle, you should notify the Execution Department immediately."

On the other side, a senior from the Executive Department said, "Next time you encounter this situation, you can contact the Executive Department first. We will send people to provide support. Although the Executive Department is very busy, we can always spare some people. For example, this time, a legendary senior helped you out. Wouldn't the situation be much better?"

Li Ge, Yi Lian, Valerie: "..."

"Alright, that's settled then. Take a break, catch up on your studies. Internship assignments aren't this frequent; the next mission might be in over a month." After routinely handling the matter, the senior student left.

At this moment, Xiao Ye was the only one not in the hospital bed. This was also part of their arrangement, which was to ensure that at least one person still had full combat capability to deal with emergencies, no matter what the circumstances. If all four of them were exhausted, they would have nowhere to turn if an accident occurred.

So in the end, it was Xiaoye who retained most of her fighting strength.

"It's nothing serious, just a bit of psionic energy depletion and the side effects of your Noble Phantasm. You'll be fine after a few days of rest. I'll stay here too and take care of you for a few days." Xiaoye sighed as she looked at the three of them who could only lie on the bed groaning.

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

……

Meanwhile, Yi Lian had been quite silent since returning. When the nurse arrived, she looked at Valerie's hand and said, "Your hand is ruined. Your entire arm is almost completely rotten, and the bone marrow has turned into gel. You might as well just cut it off and replace it with a new one."

"Doctor, doctor, will my new hand affect me?" Valerie asked, even though the pony's explosion was what bothered her the most; this hand was just burned by the shield after taking the beam of light.

"It won't have much of an impact. The new hand might even be better than your old one," the senior from the medical department comforted her before continuing, "However, the new hand needs some time to adapt. Don't overwork it during this period; let it gradually adapt to your body."

"Okay, okay!"

Soon, Valerie had some of her cells extracted for arm cloning and transplantation surgery. In fact, the new arm was also cloned from her cells, so overall it wouldn't cause too much of an impact.

The only slight impact might be that the calluses on her hand are gone, transforming her rough arm from one that had been gripping a sword for so long into a delicate, pink hand like a princess's, free from any manual labor. It's uncertain whether Valerie can adapt to this, or whether she'll need to spend time rebuilding the calluses on her hand so that they don't affect her sword-wielding.

Now, Xiaoye has gone to prepare lunch for them, Valerie has gone into the operating room, leaving only Li Ge, whose psionic energy is depleted, and Yi Lian, who has been silent until now.

Li Ge was so exhausted that he was drowsy. He even felt like he saw Luan Po Ye. Just as he was thinking about going to see the rain with Luan Po Ye, Yi Lian suddenly said, "Li Ge, do you think I'm too weak?"

Li Ge: "?"

He jolted awake, feeling completely refreshed.

Is the ripple very weak?

He's not particularly strong in his normal state, but given five days to warm up, he'll become the team's highest-output and most versatile player, even though his sixth Noble Phantasm form only lasts for ten minutes and he has to endure a backlash of six times the cost of his Noble Phantasm.

However, his water form as a morph sprite actually makes up for many of the backlashes, since he can withstand a lot of backlashes and costs in this form.

Li Ge actually felt that Valerie was the weakest. That girl was too carefree and didn't feel any pressure. Whenever she encountered a situation, she would think, "Let's all explode together." After that, they could only wait for Li Ge and the others to come and save them.

As for Yi Lian, perhaps Li Ge could only say that ten minutes is still too short. If the six Noble Phantasms were always available, he would be invincible. Unfortunately, the limitations of his copying talent and the fact that the Noble Phantasms stored in the Hand of God would naturally dissipate mean that Yi Lian can only be a burst-type character. After the burst, he can't do anything during the weakened period.

"It's not weak, it's just that you have to bear the cost of the Noble Phantasm yourself." Li Ge decided to comfort his roommate a little to prevent him from going crazy and suddenly saying something nonsensical like "This is hell" or "I want to create a world with Rin".

Although Li Ge felt that Yi Lian might just be feeling a little guilty.

"Also, don't put pressure on yourself. Even I might get tricked by the second phase of the boss. After all, who would have thought that an explosion close to the size of the little boy wouldn't kill the enemy? And what about that ghostly form that merges with the map? I would be confused too. It's a matter of intelligence, not strength."

"Okay, our strength is indeed a bit lacking." Li Ge originally intended to comfort Yi Lian, but as she comforted her, it seemed as if she had convinced herself as well.

Yi Lian: "..."

"Sigh." In the end, he just sighed deeply, then said, "I wish I had a domain too..."

Chapter 204 How did you end up with this look?

Valerie received a new arm, and it seemed that after several hours of anesthesia, the consequences of the Holy Light Pegasus's self-destruction had lessened considerably.

She even kept showing off her newborn hands in front of the others. They were unusually pink and tender. After all, they were newly cloned cells and had not yet undergone damage or muscle tearing and recombination. Naturally, they still looked a little abnormal, but it did not affect her life at all.

According to the medical department, it should take about ten days for him to return to his previous condition.

Li Ge joked that she should change her name to something like "Valley's Pink Hand" or "Valley's King's Lily," and Valerie then said in a flustered manner that she would use that hand to slap Li Ge, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Aside from Yi Lian, he remained silent. After feeling slightly better and receiving several healing spells, he said, "I think I've recovered. Let's leave now..."

"Oh, I'm almost there too. I need to get used to my King's Power... ugh, my new arm!" Valerie complained, seemingly having just recovered a little before heading to the training grounds.

“Don’t dwell on these things. We’re still in a period of rapid growth in psionic energy. Who knows, we might wake up as legends after a good night’s sleep.” Li Ge shrugged; he was actually the most carefree.

After all, he had already achieved his goal of expanding his domain. As long as the vice principal returned, he could team up to elbow Tianyi Ye. He believed that Tianyi Ye would definitely be no match for them, so he unconsciously relaxed a lot.

They don't need to be so anxious about their own abilities right now. Just let things take their course, and practice more when you have time, and that's it.

……

After leaving the medical department, Yi Lian headed back to his dormitory. He had originally planned to vent his frustrations at the training ground, but after thinking about how no matter how hard he trained, his strength was increasing at a snail's pace, he suddenly felt inexplicably anxious.

"Still, I'm too weak..." He looked at his hands, and perhaps for the first time, he felt that his strength was insufficient.

Perhaps it was because of his weakness that he left his homeland and came here. If he were truly strong enough, he might even be able to end the distorted reproductive practices of the mutant elves and change those crazy people.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do either of them.

"By the way, I heard that a whole domain course will be offered soon. I have a friend from a mysterious academy who said that the future will definitely belong to domains, and domains will become as universal as Noble Phantasms are now. So we must study domains seriously, or we will fall behind the times," said a classmate who was passing by.

"Sigh, I just don't know what my field is, or whether it's suitable for me."

"Don't worry, I've heard that everyone's field is a reflection of their own heart, so just follow your heart. Only those who are so conflicted that they dare not face their own hearts can't even get started in their field. In short, get started in your field first."

The group chatted casually about the Domain on the road. This was indeed the biggest news recently. The Domain was going to become a compulsory course, a course that all junior mages had to take. After all, the entry into the Domain was already very simple, at least the entry level was achievable, but there were still many hurdles after the entry level.

Now, it seems like everyone in the school is talking about their field. Some people have already obtained the introductory guides for their field written by the previous batch of pilot students and have started to talk about it at length, while others are starting to fantasize about what their field will actually look like.

The school's spell system has been stagnant for many years. Many people want to develop new spells that can change the times, but how difficult that is. It is easy to make minor adjustments or changes to the form of existing spells, but to completely create a spell that can change the future is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Therefore, the last technique that could change the landscape was back when the Noble Phantasm style first appeared.

And the next technique that could change the landscape seems to be happening right now, right here in the present field!

Therefore, even though the domain courses are not yet fully popularized, everyone has begun to excitedly discuss this brand-new power.

The inherent domain formed by invading the real world with one's own inner self, whether in terms of fashion or power, may be no less than a Noble Phantasm, and may even far surpass it.

They all realized that if they didn't learn about their field, they might fall behind the times.

"Am I falling behind the times?" Yi Lian looked at his hands. He understood that as long as he dared not face the fate of the mutant elves, he would never be able to make any further progress in the field.

He had tried countless times to change his domain. He didn't want his domain to be filled with endless clansmen who wanted to challenge him to duels. He preferred his domain to be a school, his friends, or other elemental spirits with whom he could communicate and bond.

But I just don't want it to be that cesspool-like world of my hometown.

However, no matter how much he wanted to change the underlying nature of his domain, the next time he entered the dream, he would still see that extremely familiar little fishing village, and those tribesmen who never stopped, as if they were utterly wicked or twisted to madness if they didn't engage in dueling rituals.

He can't change his fundamental nature...

A duel... a ritual...?

He lowered his head and murmured the ritual. For some reason, it seemed that the mutated elves had to undergo this ritual, just for the sake of reproduction.

So, is procreation really that important? Is not having offspring truly a heinous crime?

Yi Lian couldn't understand why he couldn't make further progress in his field and why he couldn't face those crazy clansmen.

"Only those who can't face their own hearts can't even control their own domain..."

Just now, those words, spoken by someone I don't know, popped into my head.

Is he someone who can't face his own heart...?

Yi Lian remained silent. He stood at the crossroads; the road to the left led to the dormitory, the road to the right led to the Treasure Artifact Department, and ahead lay the training ground…

For a moment, he froze at the intersection. One by one, his classmates passed by, and some wondered why he was standing there. Was he cosplaying a traffic light?

After a long pause, Yi Lian slowly walked towards the teaching building for the Treasure Artifact Department on the right. With each step, he seemed to hesitate, but he walked faster and faster until…

“Director Gu En, I would like to ask for a few days off…” Yi Lian said.

"Oh, what is it?" Director Gunn asked.

"Go home. I want to go back to the lands of the mutated elves. There are some things I need to find out the truth about," he said, seemingly having finally made up his mind.

……

Li Ge hadn't recovered yet; after seven consecutive domain expansions, he felt his body was completely exhausted.

Li Ge didn't know how Liu Ruyan was able to devour seven undead, but it seemed that six of the undead were eventually assimilated by Li Ge's domain and became NPCs within it.

Li Ge couldn't even detect the undead anymore; they seemed to have reverted to other forms and completely blended into this bizarre world.

Suppression, pollution, and assimilation are the core effects of the Red Stone Domain.

In fact, Li Ge had also wondered if his domain was a bit too evil. What kind of good person's ability is to corrupt other people's minds and then assimilate them into a part of the domain?

However, as she thought about it, Li Ge felt relieved. As long as she controlled this power and used it in the right way, it would be fine.

From another perspective, aren't those who are absorbed and assimilated by themselves also essentially reborn and thus begin a new life?

For example, a chaotic night...

Although the inner world is full of little stories about Red Stone, as long as you stay away from Liu Ruyan, it's like a paradise that's mostly in a technologically advanced modern city, and occasionally in an ancient or cultivation world.

Every now and then the world changes again, and for gamers, isn't this a virtual world just like a game?

Perhaps, that's why Li Ge is able to have such a field.

At that moment, Li Ge entered her home on the second floor of the internet cafe.

It wasn't raining outside today, and Li Ge could even see the high school across the street, where boys and girls were training on the playground, and there was even air rifle shooting practice.

Luan Poye seemed to be sleeping on the sofa wrapped in a blanket. After Li Ge walked in, she seemed to sleepily turn over and sit up from under the blanket.

Li Ge seemed to be in a playful mood. Looking at Luan Po Ye, whose hair was messy and who seemed a little dazed, he immediately went over and vigorously rubbed the fine hair that felt so soft, like a cat's fur, until it looked like a bird's nest. Only then did Li Ge sit down on the sofa with a smile.

Luan Poye seemed a little dazed, looking at his messy hair, as if he wanted to get angry, but he quickly held back after seeing Li Ge's profile.

"Don't do that again next time," she said, seemingly a little quiet today, but Li Ge felt even more inclined to tease her.

"I'll definitely do it next time!" he said, giving a thumbs up.

Luan Poye simply rolled his eyes, stopped halfway through his elbow strike, and went into the bathroom as if to fix his hair.

Li Ge was just watching the training on the other side, not knowing if it was a physical education class or something else, and there was also an air gun shooting session. He saw that loser, whose shooting score seemed to be quite good, with every shot being a bullseye.

So that lazy kid who only knows how to play StarCraft actually has other talents. It would be a waste if he didn't train and go to the Olympics with these results.

Soon after, Luan Poye came out of the bathroom, but this time she was wearing the same glasses as Li Ge, and her hair was styled in braids.
