"You know what to do so let's finish this quickly."
After going to the same process, Inna looked at the floating words.

******************************************************
Given her current 'stats,' her fighting ability is really better compared to others!
Well, well, well, a stage increase in Ranger and Shadow, and 2 stages in all magic! In just 2 months!
Ain't that neat!
Inna grinned in pride and looked back to see Solomon's reaction. Only to see his eyes almost tearing up in sadness.
He taught her with all his might…
His blood, sweat, and gallons of tears…
His treasures, time, and effort…
He gave her all the precious books he had…
He gave up hours of sleep just to make those handmade books…
In order for her to have an easier translation of difficult topics…
He thought that a miracle would happen as long as he believed!
He wanted to create a heaven-defying growth in her abilities!
Or at least make her reach Intermediate level early stage!
"Ugh, I know it's too good to be true." Solomon inwardly wept.
It's really impossible for her to jump 2 levels in just 2 months!
Most people would take the shortest time of 5 years for 1 level!
But, at least she had half of a level increase…
But, even with that, her power now is still truly sad...
"Just like a ten-year old." Solomon sighed.
"I really hoped it was an error in the crystal last time. But…. After seeing it again…"
Solomon gazed at the floating words sadly.
"I can't help but cry at my bad luck."
He sighed again.
He must have killed millions in his previous life to get this much misfortune!
Hearing his remarks, Inna felt irritated by his sighing.
"Stop sighing or else you'll end up with more white streaks in your hair."
With this, Solomon stopped sighing and instead, grumbled his complaints angrily.
After a moment of venting, he glared at her and spoke.
"Go to the study and get your things. Let's meet at the front door when you're ready. Meanwhile, I'll prepare your carriage. There's a considerable distance between the mansion and the academy's school building so you'll be needing one."
"No teleportation scroll?" Inna asked with hope.
"Are you crazy?! Teleportation scrolls requires hard work and takes a long time to make! I would need 4 days straight to make a single one! Why should I waste it on you?"
"And besides, no one can and should use teleportation inside the academy aside from me and my son."
Inna raised an eyebrow at that.
"He steals the scrolls from the sealed chambers without me knowing. Goes to show how much talent he has so I don't stop him."
Inna snorted.
More like he can't.
"So, if you appear there out of the blue, it's going to be linked towards me as well. And that's basically saying that, either you're my disciple, or you are a thief. "
"But a 'thief' is unlikely since everyone knows that no one can steal from the 'second strongest man.' So they'll surely think you're my disciple."
"And my disciple means that you'll be found out to be 'Inna the fiancé.' And I'll get complaints about favoritism and such which can make me lose my credibility and face."
"And remember what I told you, no Solomon's 'disciple', no 'Inna', and no special treatments. So the answer for those scroll would always be a 'no.'"
Solomon emphasized slowly before leaving the room.
So much for wishing to try teleportation.
Inna sighed in dismay as she followed suit. After Solomon enabled the security seal behind them, they went their separate ways.
Inna went to the study again to get her hobo sack. She looked around to find it but she only saw a small black leather pouch in the long desk.
She tried looking around again for the dirty sack.
But no matter how hard she tried, she wasn't able to see anything.
Seeing the black leather pouch placed in an obvious place, she can't help but sneak a glance at it ever so often.
It's like Pandora's Box!
She's really curious about what's inside but she wondered if she's even allowed to peer through it.
After a few moments of hesitation, Inna started to reason with herself in her mind.
But, he placed it in such an obvious place….
And who wouldn't get curious, right?
He placed it smack dab in the middle of the table…
That place is basically a lighthouse in the study…
So it's his fault if it's accidentally opened.
With this in mind, Inna quickly grabbed the pouch and opened it roughly.
But after a few blinks, she was disappointed because all she saw was darkness.
In disbelief, she tried placing her hands inside it and she gasped in shock when she felt something.
Her hand felt like it was in another space. And a very vast space at that. She dipped her hand deeper, her whole arm now inside the pouch.
She moved her arm around and felt something hard. She poked it and flicked it, sometimes caressing it softly to try and guess what it was. Suddenly, it made a soft 'clang' sound that made her curious so she decided to grab it and took it out.
In her hand, she saw a familiar metallic armor that looked like worn-out arm braces.
Wait, arm braces?
But, this scratches!
Isn't this mine?
And it's actually been cleaned!
She took stuff out, one after another, and saw that her stuff were there along with numerous high class and high quality robes, hair pins, jewelries, and numerous high quality shoes.
It's enough to almost fill the whole study!
The fit and the designs of the clothes, footwear, and accessories were all inclined to her taste and measurement!
It's obviously all for her!
And they were all new!
Suddenly, Inna felt warmth in her heart as she snickered.
"Heh, no special treatment, he said."
