In the days that followed, congratulatory letters arrived one after another from Anvis's siblings, who were far away in their respective territories.
The relationship between Anvis and his siblings was currently quite good, which was related to the succession rules of the Olivendi Family—
As one of the four Duke families, candidates for the head of the Olivendi Family had no gender restrictions, but their strength must reach the Ninth Rank.
And maliciously harming talented family descendants was an absolutely forbidden act, as it undermined the foundation of the family.
If someone is found to be maliciously harming their kin, they will be severely punished, and both they and their descendants will be forever barred from running for Family Head. This serves as the greatest deterrent for anyone with ill intentions.
The enforcement of this rule is ensured by two Ninth Rank Limit elders within the family.
They have lived since the early days of the Gloria Empire, with their direct bloodline passed down through countless generations, and their affection for their descendants almost completely eroded, leaving only their feelings for the family.
No one dares to guarantee that their means can be concealed from the Ninth Rank Limit.
After that, Anvis continued his daily routine of study—reading—meditation just like always, strictly playing the role of a noble scholar, displaying this to certain eyes in the castle that were watching him in secret.
It must be said, after officially becoming a spellcaster, the speed at which meditation absorbs Magic Power to enhance spiritual power is worlds apart from when at Zero Rank.
If the speed at which an official spellcaster meditates to absorb Magic Power is akin to drawing water with a hose from a pond, then a Zero Rank apprentice is like drawing water with a small straw.
Moreover, the various advantages of top-tier meditation techniques, such as increasing the purity of spiritual power, enhancing magic affinity, and so on, can only be fully realized when one becomes an official spellcaster.
During the apprenticeship period, the only difference between top-tier meditation techniques and other ordinary meditation techniques is that the speed of spiritual power enhancement is somewhat faster.
...…
At night, Anvis returned to his room and sat still with closed eyes, just like usual.
However, tonight he did not enter meditation, but instead carefully planned the development direction after reaching First Rank.
In his previous life, relying on his own bloodline and background, a somewhat arrogant young Anvis chose to develop all branches of the Transformation School.
——A choice usually made by Great Mages of the Eighth or Ninth Rank.
Ultimately, he successfully became an erudite Master Mage, but the vast amount of magical research and experiments also, to some extent, slowed the growth progress of his bloodline.
This led to him reaching only the Seventh Rank level of strength when the family declined later on.
If he had chosen to specialize in a sub-school of the Transformation School, he might have been able to advance to the Eighth Rank before the crisis arrived.
Of course, whether Seventh Rank or Eighth Rank, there was no significant difference in his situation at that time.
But an Eighth Rank professional always dies with more dignity than a Seventh Rank professional.
Having inherited the memories of young Anvis, Anvis gained all the research results from his past life but did not intend to continue down the same path.
Currently, he faced a brand new and better choice:
Prediction School——
Spellcasters proficient in the Prediction School are called Prophets, and in this world, a Prophet is a rare and noble profession.
If spellcasters are the noble professions, then a general mage compared to a Prophet is like comparing a Baron to an Earl.
The vast majority of families that have reached a certain scale will conduct detection for every descendant with their surname.
If possible, Anvis hopes to gain the identity of a Prophet.
This would allow him to openly reveal future information from his memories to the Duke, and significantly increase his influence in the shortest time.
In the memories of his past life, the Duke once invited a Prophet to test whether young Anvis had the Prophecy Talent.
The test took place on the seventh day after young Anvis became First Rank, which should be tomorrow for this life's Anvis.
This type of test must be conducted after reaching First Rank, and the seven-day period is to stabilize his rank.
The specific testing process is simple. The Prophet prepares a specially made crystal ball, and the person being tested connects their spiritual power to it, then closes their eyes and relaxes.
If they can, within half a Magic Time, sense the mysterious power inside the crystal ball and catch a glimpse of some fragmented pieces of the future, then congratulations, you have the talent for learning Prophetic Magic.
Otherwise, hehe.
Expectedly, during the previous life's test, young Anvis did not sense anything and could only declare that he had no affinity with the path of a Prophet.
The Prediction School is just like that; you either feel it or you don't.
Nevertheless, Anvis, who later became a Master Mage, ultimately studied the nature of the so-called 'Prophecy Talent' out of defiance.
He consulted countless books, including some ancient texts from the High Elf period, and manuscripts from some renowned Prophets.
Finally, he concluded that the so-called Prophecy Talent can be subdivided into the following two points.
First, a powerful soul; second, affinity with the Net of Destiny
A powerful soul is easy to understand, referring to the strength of a person's soul. Unlike spiritual power, soul strength only increases with rank advancement.
This is why some High Rank professionals can forcibly use Low Rank Prophetic Magic spells.
Affinity with the Net of Destiny is somewhat abstract.
Simply put, the development trajectory of all existences in the world can be seen as a line, and this line is the destiny of that existence.
Countless such lines interweave and entangle to form a 'net' that covers the entire world. This net is the world's destiny.
Prophetic Magic spells used by Prophets are akin to peeping into this Net of Destiny through some means, and interpreting the future through the obtained information and feedback.
But not everyone can do this; the vast majority of people cannot perceive the existence of the Net of Destiny even when using Prophetic Magic, only a very small number of people can sense it.
This ability to perceive the Net of Destiny is what is known as affinity with the Net of Destiny.
And the conditions for the emergence of this affinity are as elusive as destiny itself. It might appear in the son of a grand duke or in the child of an ordinary peasant woman.
Regardless of the strength of one's parents or whether they possess a bloodline, the chances of this talent appearing seem to be the same. The most extreme situation that has occurred is a pair of twins where the sister gained the Prophecy Talent, but the elder sister did not.
What factors determine the formation of this talent is still an unresolved question in the Magic World.
"Everything is the choice of… cough—destiny."
Touching the family talisman on his chest, Anvis began to contemplate what he should do tomorrow.
As a transmigrator and reincarnator, his soul strength definitely far exceeds that of young Anvis of the same age in the previous life, yet it's uncertain whether the affinity with the Net of Destiny had changed.
Theoretically, becoming a Prophet would greatly aid his goal of saving the Olivendi Family, which aligns with the effective range of the Wish Technique.
However, if he still lacks the talent in this life, then he will shift to studying the Mystical School, using some special mysterious magic as an excuse to maximize the advantage of knowing the historical trajectory.
