Char's fingers trembled with anticipation as he reached toward the mature Piranha Algae. The moment his skin made contact, thirteen brilliant reward light balls surged into his body like liquid starlight.
The system panel blazed to life with cascading notifications:
**[You have cultivated the Piranha Algae to maturity (Mutation).]**
**[You get the reward: Water Increase (Silver Level)]**
**[You get a reward: Cutting spell blessing (Bronze level)]**
Char's pulse quickened. This was his first direct encounter with a silver-level reward light ball. Before Hogwarts, even glimpsing a Black Iron-level reward had been rare. Now, standing on the precipice of a legendary transformation born from sheer persistence, curiosity consumed him.
What power would silver-level rewards unleash?
As the luminous energy flowed through his veins, an extraordinary sensation awakened within him. His magic power shifted, transforming from something ordinary into something razor-sharp. The change was immediate and profound—his very essence now carried the keen edge of a blade.
"This is..." Char's breathing steadied as understanding dawned. "The cutting spell blessing."
The planting system hadn't just enhanced his spells; it had fundamentally altered his magical core. His power now possessed an inherent sharpness that would amplify every cutting spell he cast. Even his comprehension of such magic would accelerate beyond normal limits.
During his first harvest of immature Piranha Algae, this transformation had been too subtle to notice. His magical perception then was nowhere near its current acuity. But now, with crystal clarity, he felt every nuance of the change.
This blessing had essentially granted him superior talent for cutting magic.
Char's attention returned to the system panel, where something remarkable was unfolding. The **[Cutting Magic Blessing]** entry, which had glowed with black iron's modest sheen, now pulsed with bronze luminescence. Within seconds, the bronze deepened and intensified until silver light completely consumed it.
**[Cutting spell blessing (Silver level)]** — promoted!
From Iron to Silver in a single moment. While other abilities required extensive cultivation to achieve such advancement, thirteen Piranha Algae had accomplished what would normally take months of dedicated effort.
High-level plants were truly in a league of their own.
But the system panel held even greater surprises. With the cutting spell blessing now at silver level, both of Char's mastered cutting spells—the Pruning Charm and the Shadowless Charm—began to blur and shift.
The Pruning Charm's golden luster suddenly brightened with platinum undertones, indicating significantly accelerated progress toward the next tier. What would have required weeks of intensive practice had been compressed into this single moment.
However, it was the Divine Edge Shadowless Spell that truly stole Char's breath.
Originally progressing slowly from Black Iron to Bronze, the spell now radiated rich bronze light embedded with tiny silver sparkles. The transformation was so dramatic that Char clenched his fist in triumph.
The cutting spell blessing had exceeded every expectation. Once he strengthened his magical power sufficiently, he could wield bronze-level, even silver-level versions of the Divine Sword Shadowless Spell. The power differential would be staggering.
As the sharp-edged sensation gradually faded, a new feeling emerged—one of oceanic depth and fluidity. It was as if tides were surging through Char's body, calling him toward water with an almost magnetic pull.
"The Water Enhancement ability," Char realized, watching the system panel transform once more.
This silver-level reward proved even more dramatic than the cutting spell enhancement. The bronze-level **[Water Enhancement]** flickered with silver light, then blazed with golden radiance before finally settling into a brilliant platinum glow that consumed half the golden luminescence.
**[Water Enhancement (Gold Level)]** — promoted with significant platinum progression!
Char drew a deep breath, overwhelmed by the silver-level reward's potency. A single ball of this caliber equaled nearly a hundred black iron rewards, but more importantly, it maintained its effectiveness at higher levels where lesser rewards would falter.
"I need to focus on plants that yield silver-level rewards," he decided, already planning his next cultivation projects.
To truly test the Water Enhancement's effects, Char approached the nearest water tank and slowly submerged his head. The cold liquid enveloped him, and his eyes widened in amazement.
He opened his mouth experimentally—no choking occurred. The breath he'd taken seemed unnecessary. The water embraced him like a natural habitat, freely offering oxygen that flowed directly into his lungs. His movements became more fluid and graceful than they'd ever been on land.
Closing his eyes, Char discovered he could sense movements throughout the water through vibrations and currents. The aquatic environment had truly become his domain—a realm where he possessed every advantage.
This gold-level qualitative change was revolutionary, but even more exciting was the comprehensive blessing it provided to all his abilities.
Submerged, Char watched the system panel undergo another dramatic transformation. Golden and platinum lights danced across every entry as the water enhancement amplified his entire skill set.
**[Magic Perception Enhancement]** advanced further into gold level with strengthened platinum undertones. The fluorescent spell and night vision abilities blazed brighter. His Pruning Charm and Divine Edge Shadowless Spell climbed higher still.
But Char's focus remained fixed on one critical ability: **[Magic Power Enhancement (Black Iron Level)]**. This had been his greatest limitation. Despite his improved magical perception, insufficient power had prevented him from fully utilizing advanced spells.
Now, under his intense gaze, the black iron luster suddenly flashed with silver light.
The amplification had temporarily elevated his magic power to silver level.
Even Char's composure cracked at this revelation. Underwater, he couldn't contain his exhilarated laughter. The shackles that had bound his potential had finally shattered.
Gripping his wand tightly, Char swung it in a swift, sword-like motion. His magic power had reached the required threshold. The water enhancement was active. The cutting spell blessing was primed.
"Sectumsempra!" he called out, his voice carrying clearly through the water.
"Divine sword—invisible shadow!"
The spell erupted from his wand with unprecedented force, its power magnified by every enhancement now coursing through his magical core. This was no longer the tentative magic of a student, but the confident casting of someone who had transcended his former limitations.
Char had broken free.__________________________
