Chapter 417 : Law Advancement
"Rumble rumbleーー"Just as Janna was still observing, a sound different from thunder reverberated throughout the entire 【Bonsai Secret Realm】 once again.
"Is it finally coming to an end—"
The torrent of elements swept across the entire 【Bonsai Secret Realm】 once more. Along with the violent turbulence of magical particles, the 【Endless Sea】 surrounding Janna rapidly faded away, until it dissolved into dreamlike distorted bubbles, vanishing completely in an instant.
"Clap clap clap clapーー"
Light shifted, the scene collapsed, and when she opened her eyes again, the familiar scenery of the 【Glory Arena】 reappeared before Janna. Besides the complex gazes around her, the overwhelming applause made her feel a bit dazed.
"Janna! Janna!! Janna!!!"
With the disappearance of the 【Bonsai Secret Realm】, fifty-five contestants appeared all at once in the center of the 【Glory Arena】.
Yet, regardless of the other fifty-four contestants or all the spectators in the stands, their gazes at this moment were unanimously fixed upon Janna, who stood at the very center of the crowd.
Not only that, the massive 360-degree floating screen projected Janna’s image from every angle, without a single blind spot.
The tens of thousands of spectators present were like barrels of gunpowder ignited, nearly frenzied as they cried out Janna’s name.
Excitement, fervor, reverence, longing—emotions intertwined into a roaring flood, releasing all at once from the audience who had been holding their breath for nearly two hours.
Of course, among them were also those who had bet wrongly and lost everything, venting their anger furiously at Marquell-Storm and Louisto-Tulan—
"Please, everyone, quiet down—"
Feeling the abnormally heated atmosphere, John-Jones, whose own emotions were surging, had no choice but to restrain his excitement in order not to delay what came next. As the host, he continuously urged the audience to calm down.
However, at this moment, John-Jones’s efforts were clearly in vain. Instead of quieting, the scene only grew even more frenzied.
As someone who had rich experience in receiving applause on stage, Janna swiftly separated her emotions from the 【Transfiguration Trial】 within just a few seconds and returned to reality.
With the quick adjustment of her 【Muscle Control】 talent, she restored her expression to the most appropriate state.
Still, no matter how composed her face appeared, it could not conceal the strange gleam in Janna’s eyes.
"Again, it’s the power of the 【Law】—"
Although she was the focus of everyone’s attention, Janna’s mind was not on the cheers and applause.
Just like the last time, when she had been awarded by Teresa-Mensa, the guildmaster of the Mercenary Guild, in the central plaza of Turin City—beyond the cheers of the crowd, a cloud of smoke in red, orange, and yellow once again appeared before Janna’s eyes.
As before, it did not take long before the tri-colored smoke quickly converged above the 【Glory Arena】 and turned into a pink mist, enveloping all the spectators present.
From the reactions of the crowd, it was clear that this constantly flowing pink smoke among the people could only be seen by Janna herself.
Moreover, Janna could distinctly sense that the energy fluctuations emanating from this pink mist came from the same source power as the 【Law of Beauty】.
"Is this also the power of 【Emotion】—"
As a concept encompassing an extremely broad range, the 【Law of Beauty】 extended into thousands of other 【Secondary Laws】 apart from the 【Beauty of Appearance】 Janna had already grasped.
Among them, 【Emotion】 was one of the most significant 【Secondary Laws】 derived from the 【Law of Beauty】 on a broad conceptual level.
Or rather, Janna’s grasp of 【Beauty of Appearance】—a relatively pure 【Secondary Law】—had already moved beyond simply giving others a sense of extraordinary astonishment. It had begun to touch deeper, stronger levels of 【emotional】 influence.
"Swish—"
While Janna was still in thought, the smoke suddenly surged. Just like before, the vast pink mist seemed to have found its home and poured madly toward Janna.
At that instant, light flickered. The radiant fruit representing the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 on the Witch Tree reappeared before Janna. Using the sea of blooming flowers as a medium, it absorbed all of the pink smoke completely—
"Please, everyone, quiet down—" Along with John-Jones’s helpless shout once more, everything before Janna’s eyes vanished, replaced by the Character Panel projected by the System.
【Name: Janna Roland
Profession: Third-Tier Wizard Apprentice
Level: 18
Wizard Talents: Spirit Traverse (A-rank – temporarily unable to advance), Nature Affinity (A-rank – temporarily unable to advance)
Character Talents: ——
Authority Laws: Fragment of the Law of Growth (Comprehension Progress 10%), Fragment of the Law of Purification (Comprehension Progress 3%), Fragment of the Law of Beauty (Comprehension Progress 6%), Fragment of the Law of Withering (Comprehension Progress 0%)
Attributes: ——】
"It really improved."
Looking at the Character Panel, seeing the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】 comprehension progress grow from 2% last time to 6% now, Janna’s eyes flashed with joy as she gradually understood the advancement pattern of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.
Under extremely high prestige, the truest feedback of 【Emotion】 was the advancement method Janna had just captured for the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】.
"At present, aside from the 【Fragment of the Law of Withering】, the comprehension of the other 【Fragments of Laws】 has all progressed by varying degrees."
From the last time she used the “Angel’s Feather” to summon the Seraph 【Lucifer】, Janna’s 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】 had gained new insight while observing 【Lucifer】’s display of the 【Law of Light】.
At the same time, her practice of the 【Symphony of Life】 had also allowed her comprehension of the 【Fragment of the Law of Purification】 to advance, rising gradually from 0% to its current 3%.
"Next, the judge of this 【Andrew-Gamp Transfiguration Trial】—Daniel Jones—will announce the results of all contestants."
Thanks to John-Jones’s persistent efforts, the atmosphere finally settled down to normal. It was no longer so overwhelming that even the microphone’s voice was drowned out.
"Hello everyone, I am Daniel Jones, the judge of the 【Transfiguration Trial】. Now, on behalf of the other three examiners, I will formally announce today’s results."
