The Devil WithInn 39 I Got The Magic, Magic, Magic 4

In the morning, she now goes out to eat in the dining hall together with Solomon. They talk about various topics like the weather, her thoughts, and interesting things about the world. At first, Inna found it awkward, but as they did it every day, she was able to loosen up and start talking like she did back in the university.

And, although Solomon wasn't able to understand some of her words, he still listened to her actively, feeling amused by her expressions. They used to bicker two months ago but now, they began to act familiarly, like a family.

After breakfast, Solomon would send her to his study. There, he would begin his Spartan training. He would bombard Inna with information and expect her to either memorize or take note of all of it. After his discussions, he would stack book after book for her to read and take note of. Some of these books were handwritten by him, and some were as thick as her forearm. He would then tell her to read them at her 'spare time.'

After giving her the books, he would give her an hour for a break either for her to read the book or do other things. Sometimes Solomon would ask a maid to serve tea and they spend the break leisurely. And then, when an hour had pa.s.sed, he would make her do practical demonstrations of what she just learned from his morning lecture until lunch.

When lunch arrives, they often eat together just like in breakfast. Then, Solomon would leave her be to spend the rest of the day training at her own pace while he does his own work. Sometimes he would visit her to take her to various rooms for tests regarding his research. There was once where she was scanned by a spell that can see through soul strength, also there was a time when she was asked to lay down on a pentagram to see if there are any abnormalities with her, and there were multiple cases of him checking her pulse and her state of mind. Sadly, ever since then, her 'soulless' state never appeared again so he lets Inna train by herself in the afternoon to see if she can accidentally trigger it to appear again.

Because of this, she was able to steadily master enchantments and curses at a fast rate. Now, she can even make some spells on her own after she got a good grasp on the foundations of enhancing, healing, and nullifying magic. Although what she made was just common spells like washing herself, making things dry, or making her voice louder than usual, it was still a superb thing for her! It's because she accidentally found out something amazing from trying to make her own spells!

That is, if she uses some Latin words, that she learned from Bob, in the incantations, she can make a better spell or even modify an existing one!

And what's more amazing is that it makes the spells exclusive only for her since she's the only one who understands Latin!

But although she was able to easily modify simple mage and priestess enchantments, she found curses are a bit complicated to use and modify since their foundations are very delicate. One wrong step and it would go out of control! She tried multiple times to modify them, but it ended up with horrible consequences.

And there was this horrible incident that made her completely give up on curses for the moment.

Usually, when she modifies an enhancement, the duration time would be longer and the effect would usually be a bit stronger. But when she tried cursing a flower in the garden to wilt using Latin words instead of Eridoan, she ended up wilting the whole garden.

Her mouth twitched at the destruction.

She expected the result to be like her enchantments. Longer and a bit stronger.

But it wasn't just 'a bit' stronger.

It was way too strong!

It was the very first time she tried it so when she saw the huge damage it had on the whole wide expanse of the garden, she was shocked and lost control of the magic. As a result, it began spreading like it was alive. In the end, the destruction got worse and after a few minutes it began to spread towards the mansion. So the maids had to call Solomon in the middle of the afternoon to dispel it.

When he dispelled it, he was shocked with the power but he wasn't angry at her. Instead, he wanted her to do it again because he was curious on how it became like that!

But the problem is, the gardeners and maids were the ones harboring hatred for her. They were the ones who worked hard for years to maintain its beauty and to think that it's been ruined by a brat that just moved in, their hearts weren't so easily calmed.

So, in order not to offend more people, she postponed curse-making in the meantime and focused on following the existing curses that she was taught.

After magic training, she goes towards the library to read books about combat. Although she had great power in fighting, she realized had no idea how she was able to strengthen herself since it was the previous owner who trained her body to the fullest. But although her "soulless" state is leagues better than her in fighting, she wasn't really in control of that side of her so she thought that it'll be better for her to actually know a bit of fighting to survive.

She figured to strengthen her foundations first.

So, in order to at least grasp the foundations, she began training from the basics as well. She does stretching, kick-boxing, and sparring with some guards that she befriended. Sometime they would give her tips and sometimes they would give her bruises instead. Also, she used her knowledge of yoga to train for her flexibility, and whenever she's free, she would swing her swords and daggers around wildly just so she can get used to the feel of it in her hands while moving.

Once she got used to the foreign pieces of metal in her hands, her body seemed to flow smoothly in every move she made. And after two months of practice, she finally moved like how an adventurer would.

But after these two months, she noticed that Solomon barely joins her for breakfast and he simply just gives her books to read and learn from before disappearing. There was even a whole day where she was unable to see him at all.

Somehow, she felt a bit lonely so one afternoon, she decided to visit him in his study.

She knocked on the door when she arrived.

"Come in."

A weak voice sounded at the other side of the room.

She entered and saw a weird sight.
