The Human Giant

When Yoze examined the other two people inside the room, his smile grew as he felt he would have a large harvest in the next few days. The first person to draw his eyes was the supposed talented elder student that had caused so much worry for Lucien. 

Yet in Yoze\'s eyes, he only saw that he was a charming young man dressed like an experienced merchant. His clothes were extremely fancy and made it clear that he was wealthy. Still, he also tried his best to make himself as approachable as possible.

To sell as many goods as possible, one needed to have the desired products and reasonable pricing, and a good merchant would make his customers feel as comfortable as possible. The more comfortable people were, the more likely they would feel more comfortable buying things they didn\'t necessarily need but wanted.

This young man fits that description perfectly. He had long brown hair tied up into a ponytail and soft hazel-colored eyes. His body wasn\'t the stereotypical fat merchant that most people were familiar with. Instead, he was lean and slightly on the skinny side.

This might have been due to the need to travel far distances and tough terrains that kept his body fit. Regardless of how Yoze looked at him, the young man was only a charming merchant and didn\'t fit the description of what a witch should be in his mind.

Yet, when he saw the young man\'s information panel, he realized that he truly had the talent to become a great witch.

[Name: Devi Marrin]

[Age: 30 Years Old]

[Talents: Dead Crystal Nerves (Grade 8), Witchcraft (Grade 9), Rapid Calculation (Grade 10), Emotion Control (Grade 9), Crystal Energy Manipulation (Grade 7), Curse of Remembrance (Grade 5), Trap Arts (Grade 4), Value Identification (Grade 7), Finger Arts (Grade 3)]

"I can understand why he is the elder student even though he is obviously younger than Lucien. He has the most talents related to the art of being a witch I have ever seen. He is basically the better version of Blood Master Scarlett." Yoze thought to himself as he copied Devi Marrin\'s grade 8 Dead Crystal Nerves talent without hesitation.

As soon as Yoze saw that his talent had been upgraded, he felt a calming sensation flowing through his body as he sensed his mind quickly becoming faster. While at the same time, the crystal dust that was on the outer edges of his dead crystal nerves was no longer on the verge of being sucked away from his crystal nerves.

Every single particle of crystal dust grew closer together as his Dead Crystal Nerves tried to absorb the crystal dust but failed. As Yoze was enjoying the sensation of his talent improving, he didn\'t waste his time tossing his last talent mark to the young boy standing beside Devi Marrin.

Compared to Devi, who looked like a professional merchant, the young boy dressed like a typical commoner. His clothes were not expensive but also not the cheapest ones that could be bought in the market.

Whether it was his shirt, pants, or shoes, they were all slightly too big for him now, but in a year or two, they would be the perfect size. When Yoze noticed that the young boy had purple hair that had been recently cut short and purple eyes that looked around the room with curiosity, he was partially convinced that the young boy was a child.I think you should take a look at

However, once he saw the young boy\'s information panel, he realized that everyone in this world liked to hide their age.

[Name: Luxy GoldenEye]

[Age: 10 Years Old]

[Talents: Witchcraft (Grade 9), Dead Crystal Nerves (Grade 8), Rapid Calculation (Grade 6), Crystal Energy Manipulation (Grade 6), Curse of Youth (Grade 7), Investigation (Grade 8), Acting (Grade 10), Running (Grade 8), Accounting (Grade 5)]

Seeing that the young boy who looked like he was in middle school was only ten years old, Yoze\'s eyes twitched. After finding out that it was common for immortals and immortal cultivators to make themselves appear younger than their actual age, he had already developed a somewhat distrust for people\'s surface age.

Yet this was his first time seeing someone make themselves look older. Even though he was interested in the reason behind Luxy\'s choice, that didn\'t stop him from copying his talent for witchcraft.

[Grade 9 talent Witchcraft has been selected. Your witchcraft talent has been upgraded to grade 8.]

"Senior Devi, before we begin with my check-in, can you inform me about the situation with our teacher? How is his health?" Lucien calmly asked after regaining his composure.

"It\'s the same as when you left; his condition isn\'t very good. With his age, most people would have died a long time ago. He is only barely staying alive by putting a curse on himself that is eating at him." Devi slowly said without any infections in his voice, not allowing anyone to know his true emotions.

"I see. Is he getting any closer to becoming a Grand Witch? Before I left, I heard he planned on visiting the Grand Witch of Fog Mountain; how did that go?"

Hearing that his teacher\'s health wasn\'t improving and was declining, Luciem couldn\'t help but show some worry on his face as he asked a few more questions. Unfortunately, with every answer Devi answered, his hope that his teacher would survive this year continued to decline.

Just as Lucien was about to lose all hope, he suddenly heard something that immediately attracted his and Yoze\'s attention.

"Teacher has already accepted that he is going to die, so he plans on ending his life by creating a cursed book with all his knowledge. He wants you and me to visit him one last time so he can decide who will inherit the book."

Even someone extremely talented in controlling their emotions, like Devi, felt his desires surge when he thought about the cursed book his teacher was about to create. For a titled witch to pass down all their knowledge in such a way, it almost guarantees a smooth path for the user to become a Titled Witch.
