The night passed, and Valeela woke up in the morning.
She propped herself up and sat on the head of the bed, rubbing her eyebrows that were still slightly swollen while trying to recall the vaguely remembered dream from last night.
This was the first time in more than a year since she woke up from another life memory in her dream that she had a dream with the impression of a lake——
Of course, lucid dreams in which someone invades do not count.
Valeela tried her best to think back, but last night's dream was like elusive smoke and dust, and she couldn't really grasp it.
The only thing she could recall clearly was the severe pain in her heart that finally woke her up.
The phantom pain was quite real, as if someone had really stabbed her through the chest...
After a while, Valeera's mood calmed down a bit, she got rid of the lingering emotions caused by the dream, and felt that her physical condition had recovered a lot.
Although the feeling of being oppressed mentally by excessive characteristics in her body was still there, at least she was no longer so weak and unable to even move independently like she had been when she was promoted last night.
She got up and went to the bathroom, pondered for a while, then opened her mouth and spat out a pool of smelly black blood——
This was the "disease" that had not been completely purified by the "secret contract ritual" and still remained in her body. It was also the reason why she was so weak last night.
Valeera guessed that the reason for this problem was either because no one controlled the power of the "Secret Contract Ritual" and was not smart enough; or the "Secret Contract Ritual" was interrupted by the power of the potion, resulting in insufficient purification.
She actually sensed this problem last night.
But because she was in such bad condition at the time, she did not dare to immediately control and adjust her body to eliminate the "disease".
After dealing with the hidden dangers in her body, Valeela washed away the blood, returned to the bedroom, and put the "Bottom Line" pocket watch and the "Winner" pendant into the safe.
She no longer dares to carry these two magical items with her for the time being.
After closing the safe again, she sprinkled the fragrance, raised a "spiritual wall" to isolate the inside and outside, and then took out the ebony "substitute wand" that she had always carried with her, which was as long as her forearm, and raised her palm A puff of substantial black flame completely enveloped the "Stand-in Wand".
Under the burning of the black flames, black ash continued to fall, and the wand became smaller and smaller.
Finally, Valeela was given a new wand the size of a hairpin.
This is also the embodiment of the improvement of the "pain" witch's ability:
"Curse Black Flame" has the effect and temperature that real flames should have, and is no longer completely illusory;
The wands required for "Wand Stands" have also become more refined and compact, and the upper limit of damage sharing has also been increased to a certain extent.
After doing this, Valeera broke the "spiritual wall" and lay back on the bed. When the smell of the fragrance dissipated, she pulled the rope beside the bed and summoned her personal maid Liya to come in.
As a university lecturer who has classes today, it's time for her to get up.
Soon, Liya, who had been prepared for a long time, entered the room with two first-class maids to help Valeera dress and make the bed——
This is not because Valeela lives a luxurious life, but because decent women's dresses are very complicated in design, and ordinary women really need help when dressing.
In fact, in comparison, the number of Valeela's servants has been reduced to the extreme.
For a truly wealthy aristocratic family, such as the Hall family, Audrey's team of servants is the ideal standard. Just dressing up, long skirts, jewelry, shoes and socks, gauze hats, makeup and hairstyle, etc., are all There is a dedicated person in charge, so you don’t even have to move your hands.
"Liya, you should arrange for someone to clear out the studio this morning," Valeela sat in front of the dressing mirror and said to the maid who was fixing her hair. "After trying sketching, I still plan to try it. Try oil painting."
Valeela's new ability is best used with oil painting as a medium, so a studio is obviously necessary.
As for tidying up, in fact, the studio that was put away was not very messy, but the easels and other equipment may be lacking, and the placement was messy, making it difficult to use.
"Okay, miss." While agreeing, Liya kept her hands on her.
Valeera looked at the changes in her hairstyle in the mirror, and suddenly discovered many details that she had not noticed before. With a few adjustments, she would look even more beautiful.
Alas, useless knowledge has increased...
She didn't point out these details, acquiescing to Liya's normal level of grooming.
After breakfast, Valeera took a bus to school to continue her duties as a formal lecturer in the history department.
Speaking of which, her job should be coming to an end soon.
In about a month's time, the students of Backlund University will have their winter vacation, and without the students, the lecturers will naturally have a simultaneous vacation.
In Valeera's plan, this vacation was equivalent to leaving her job.
Her original idea was to wait until the end of December, when the "Desperate Nightingale" spread the plague in the East District, to use her own abilities to reduce the number of infections and casualties as much as possible——
This idea is one of the reasons why she is eager to advance.
However, with this promotion, Valeela has awakened a rather powerful method, so she plans to slightly modify the original plan, take more risks, and further reduce the level of casualties.
Regardless of the original plan or the current plan, she would leave Backlund like Klein after the incident.
Therefore, for him, this vacation is tantamount to resignation.
If everything goes as she wishes, she will complete the ceremony at sea, be promoted to the "Iron-Blooded Knight", and return with a completely different appearance.
In class, Valeera still wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her nose that were only for decoration.
Not surprisingly, she saw her cousin Reyes in class again.
Ever since he walked into the wrong class a few months ago, this guy has been coming to sit in on her classes from time to time, which makes people wonder if he has some thoughts.
Valeela's way of dealing with this was to let it go.
She has become farther and farther away from her previous identity. If she had to compare, I am afraid that Benson and Melissa are closer to her than her cousin, and it is really not suitable for her to have more contact with him.
…
After completing her teaching mission, Valeela quickly returned home.
After lunch, she came to the already packed studio and drove Liya and Habi out of the door on the grounds of concentrating on creation.
Looking at the sketch clipped on the drawing board that had been refined for half a month, Valila, who was already a master of painting, couldn't help but shake her head... Was I at this level before?
Of course, she didn't revise it right away. Instead, she spread the fragrance first and raised a "spiritual wall."
Next, she plans to do an experiment first.

Attachment: I have the same feeling as before that I have a plot but I don’t know how to write it.
Maybe part of the reason is that the ability to awaken this time is a bit complicated, and so far I have only given a rough outline... I can only say that I will try my best to adjust it.
