472 Newton's Position

After hearing Nina's answer, Newton smiled at her, pleased to meet such an intelligent young girl. "You really are smart. To become a scholar, you don't need to be talented or powerful. You just have to be smart and to like studying."

The profession of scholar or theorist was less dependent on Awakening, something Nina couldn't count on given her circumstances.

Newton imagined that she had made this choice with her possibilities in mind, something remarkable. Not everyone had what it took to do what they could.

Her wanting to help her brother was also amazing because it could give her opportunities since he would certainly help her. As remarkable as it was to grow up alone, it was also tough, and there was nothing wrong with taking advantage of the available opportunities.

Some stubborn young people would be reluctant to take advantage of the opportunities given to them by their families, but Nina didn't have that personality and knew how to choose, even though she was so young.

Newton asked her another question. "Would you follow this path even if you awakened a powerful magical form?"

"Of course." She said as she stood up. "I already have my brother to protect me and deal with our family's problems. Trying to go the same way as him wouldn't add anything to the family. But things could be different if I can help him with spells and other things."

Vicente and Eve listened to Nina's answers as they watched her, both smiling at how determined this girl was.

Newton liked what he heard. "Very well, I came here to evaluate you and consider accepting you as my pupil. I've heard enough to make a decision.

Nina, do you want to become my student? Accompanying me means that you'll have to stay away from your brother at some point. But that's a path you'll have to take sooner or later."

Nina opened her mouth as she stared at Newton in silence, not expecting that the greatest genius in the province would come to her house and offer to become her master.

Vicente said to her. "Newton will soon be working at the Royal Academy in Saltstar City, but don't worry, Nina, we will move to that city when you finish your term at the local academy."

"Is that true? But Professor Newton will wait for me for another year?" Nina asked and looked at Vicente and Newton.

Newton smiled when he saw that she didn't want to leave. "Don't worry. When you go to Saltstar City, we'll begin our journey as master and student, Nina. However, from that moment on, you won't be able to turn back. So be sure of your decision by then. Think it over and talk to your brother."

"Okay, Profes... Master!" Nina said with a big smile while Vicente and Eve smiled.

Nina's situation was still worrying, but at least she could live an everyday life and still learn from the best professional in the province. They obviously wanted the best for her, but they were willing to give her a good life even as a mortal unable to cultivate mana.

After talking with Nina for a while, Newton followed Vicente into the young man's office, leaving the two of them behind.

"Professor, I have a question I'd like to know if you can answer," Vicente said as he sat down in his office and thought about Torne.

"There are many things I don't know yet, but please tell me what you have in mind." Newton was curious.

"It's about slavery contracts with ghosts. Specifically, how do you help a ghost recover after a long ordeal?" Vicente came right to the point.

"Ghosts? Let me see if I understand your question. You want to know how to restore a ghost that is connected to a master?" Newton asked.

"Yes. I recently encountered this situation while traveling. I was fighting a man who had a ghost as his slave. In the middle of the battle, he and the ghost merge their powers and become many times stronger. But soon after, the effects of this union wore off, and I could feel the ghost 'disappearing.'

Unfortunately, I couldn't eliminate the two, so now I'm worried about the ghost recovering and that guy coming after me."

"Oh?" Newton didn't doubt Vicente, having heard and studied situations like the one the young man described.

He said. "Such a thing is seldom witnessed. You were lucky to escape. But don't worry. What you've just described has a name. It's called Primary Realization.

Primary Realization is very hard on both sides, but especially on the slave. Not only that, but when you feel the slave's side disappearing, it means that it has given up a part of itself to help the master.

In this case, the master should be fine after some rest, but the ghost will be in a special state that won't change easily.

Except for some very rare resources, only the master's ascension can help it in any way. So this person will hardly be able to use the Primary Realization again in a short time."

"Is that so? Then I'm relieved." Vicente smiled, but that only worried him.

He and Torne had plans to go after the Cataclysm Order, but now that would have to be postponed.

Since he wouldn't be able to use magical resources again until he had solidified his foundation, only advancing to the 4th stage could help him recover Torne in the slightest.

"Don't worry about that. But what about Cesar? Have you heard from him? I'd like to meet him and see how he's doing." Newton commented; that was his main interest in coming to Millfall.

Vicente smiled and said. "You should find the Mazzanti family. They'll be able to tell you when you can see him. But I can tell you that he was successful in his hunt."

"Is that so?" A gleam appeared in Newton's eyes.

He had probed Vicente's body and felt the young man's magical foundation. But since this young man was hiding a large part of his power, Newton could only see the most obvious: this young man's foundation and mana density. But as for the special aura of the magical form or the pentagrams of Vice, this professor felt nothing at all.

"Well, I'll be on my way. I want to meet Cesar and go to Saltstar City." Newton stood up, smiling in anticipation of seeing Cesar.

Vicente would soon see the man leave his residence. He still had many worries on his mind after this meeting, but talking to Newton gave him new things to think about and do.

'I must find time to see him with Cesar's identity, but I must also order my men to look for resources compatible with Nina.' He thought as he returned to his office, with many things to do later today.
