"I Became a Witch, but Now Everyone's in Love with Me!"

Chapter 102: The School of Wisdom, the Ambition to Replace the Gods
Once when Jiang Cha was studying under Myrtle, she heard her talk about her original intention of developing a new school.

It’s actually very simple.
It was after visiting many great sages and receiving their guidance that Myrtle realized a problem.
That is—can the six major schools of thought today really constitute a multiverse?

If it is possible, then why does every great sage hesitate before the level leading to omniscience and omnipotence, and only the First Sage barely breaks through one level?
In the research /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ on witch society, it is generally believed that this is because the witches' civilization is still short, and it is normal for the road to omniscience and omnipotence to be longer. The great sages are almost all immortal creatures. It has only been a few hundred years, and the oldest great sage is only two hundred and eighty years old.
After thousands or tens of thousands of years, there will surely be more great sages who will cross the second gate and even the third gate.

But Myrtle doesn't think so.
She always believes that as long as you find the right method, no matter how difficult the task is, there will be a simpler shortcut.
Therefore, the original intention of wanting to develop wisdom magic is just to make it faster and easier for herself to break through levels in the future.
But Jiang Cha is different from her.

She believes that wisdom magic will become another pillar on the road to full omnipotence.
At that time, the six levels will become seven levels. Further subdivision can make the goals clearer and make breakthroughs easier.
"Perhaps this is just a little witch's fantasy, a 'worthwhile attempt'."

"But who knows what will happen in the future?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Jiang Cha took advantage of the dim night and plunged into intensive study again.
With her current knowledge, things like the essence of rules are still too far away from her. That is something that only those at least at the sage level would consider.

Before she became a sage...
"Master, when are you going to be promoted to a sage?"

Looking at this disciple whom she had casually accepted, Myrtle was standing in front of her, with her hands behind her back, tapping her toes with a slightly blushing face, looking like a shy little girl trying to confess her love.

Myrtle, who was washing her mouth, sprayed out the mouthwash.
"What are you talking about!?"
"Master, I want to ask you, when do you plan to be promoted to a sage?"

The girl's expression was still shy. She gently touched her two index fingers together and made a very cute gesture. "The basic framework of the School of Wisdom has been built. I need more data to improve the magic of this school... Master, don't tell me that you haven't developed any magic of wisdom, okay?"
"So you just want me to show you the way, right?"
Now Myrtle understood, and cursed with a smile.

As a master of magic development, she had, of course, developed a lot of wisdom magic. She didn't give it to Jiang Cha before because she was worried that her thinking would affect this talented disciple.
But she never expected that her training would be rewarded in just a few months—and the reward was far beyond her expectations.
Sage level...

Realizing something, Myrtle's eyes became a little dazed.
This mature, beautiful, plump, white-haired woman was only wearing a thin white shirt with all the buttons unbuttoned, revealing her chest.
Two fleshy long legs were naked and exposed to the air, and silvery curly hair was faintly visible between the pure white hems.
How long has it been?

Although she had always been confident that she could be promoted to a sage, it had indeed taken a long time—the time she stayed at the Great Witch level.
"Master, even if you seduce Chacha like this, Chacha will not do anything immoral, okay?"
The girl with black hair and red eyes tapped her lips with her finger and smiled mischievously, deliberately using such 'out-of-line' words to remind Myrtle, who had lost her composure.

"I still despise you, a dirty-hearted little bastard."
The dissolute older sister rolled her eyes, and in an instant, the confusion on her face disappeared.
She put on her clothes and transformed herself into the determined and lazy number one witch again.

"Tell me, what new things have you come up with in the past two months?"

Myrtle sat on the chair, crossed one leg, and looked at Jiang Cha with raised eyebrows.
She was very sure that the list of books she prepared for her was not enough for Jiang Cha to build the skeleton of wisdom magic. The wisdom magic of [Overlapping Thoughts] was indeed very exquisite, but a mere one magic could not support an entire school.

The concepts of magic system and magic school are different.
In layman's terms, the magic system is a skill tree. You can learn it all the way through, in a complete and comprehensive way. When you finish learning it, you will be a combat witch of that school.
But a magic school refers to all the theoretical knowledge of this series of magic. The most important part, and also the most basic part of a school, is the development process of this series of magic.

In fact, it is the distinction between combat witches and research witches.
A combat witch can master this type of magic very skillfully, and come up with thousands of tactics to kill enemies and win on the battlefield.
As for the witches... the best among them can directly make a set of magic trees by themselves. The most important part of the difference between them lies in whether they can learn the magic development theory of that school.

The key to establishing a school, or even advancing to the sage level with that type of magic, is whether that type of magic has a mature magic development theory.
Therefore, combat witches and academic witches are only below the sage level. The difference appears because the little witches do not have enough time to study. After reaching the sage level, the witches can grasp both paths.
"Master, you know everything about development theory. You have gone further than me in this regard."

At this point, Jiang Cha restrained her playful attitude and officially started teaching her master.
"You know what, it’s quite interesting."
But in fact, she and Myrtle's relationship was more like that of a partnership. They were walking on the same path and were like-minded explorers.

"And the path on my side... the root of everything lies in my inherent magic."
Mystical magic [Information Collection].
A low-level second-level magic of the mystical system. The principle of casting is to construct a temporary wise god, use magic power as a sacrifice, steal the power of belief in wisdom in the multiverse, and achieve the purpose of strengthening the wisdom of the caster.

This in itself is nothing surprising.
In the mystical magic school, which has the largest number of magic spells among all factions, this magic itself is not very eye-catching.
Until... Jiang Cha appeared.

Her inherent magic cannot be said to be [Information Collection] at all, but rather an advanced version with stronger effects, more comprehensive functions, and greater development prospects.
And most importantly...
"I can feel the aura of the wise god with the help of this magic."

"It hasn't even built an unconscious divine power server like the Lord of Death. To put it in a more vivid way, it has barely built a throne."
"This is the basic logic of the School of Wisdom that I envision—let yourself replace the Lord of Wisdom!"
