Tatsuma raised his hand and placed it on Le Fay's head, muttering a few incantations whose meaning he didn't even know himself, then shouted loudly.
"Super-tier Magic: Potential Activate!"
Buzz!
A magic circle the size of a palm appeared, stirring up a gentle breeze.
At the same time, Tatsuma, who had set the mood, stuffed the trait in.
[Trait granted successfully, click to view target panel.]
Boom!
A deafening roar sounded.
Under Tatsuma's gaze, a vast and terrifying magic power surged from Le Fay's body.
[Le Fay Pendragon]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Level 3]
[Traits: Extraordinary Magic (Green), King Arthur's Bloodline (Purple), Magic Source (Red), Genius Magician (Red)]
[Extraordinary Magic (Green): Slightly increases total magic power, slightly increases magic quality.]
[King Arthur's Bloodline (Purple): Training effect +300%, moderately increases physical attributes and total magic power.]
[Magic Source (Red): Greatly increases total magic power, greatly increases magic power recovery speed.]
[Genius Magician (Red): Magic talent greatly increased, magic casting speed greatly increased.]
One purple, two red, plus the Extraordinary Magic granted by Tatsuma, all four traits were related to Magic and Magic power.
Looking at the two girls with stunned and shocked expressions, Tatsuma picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee.
"Le Fay, how do you feel?"
"My total magic power has increased by nearly three times, and my understanding of magic has also improved a lot." Le Fay recovered, her expression complex.
Although she didn't think Tatsuma was bragging at first, she didn't expect the effect to be so good.
"Tatsuma, I owe you a favor."
"We're all acquaintances, no need to be so polite."
Tatsuma chuckled lightly and looked at Meredith, who was a beat slower in recovering.
"How about it? Do you still think my compensation isn't enough?"
"I'm sorry. I retract my rude remarks just now."
Meredith took a deep breath and said, "For a one-year contract, this compensation is perfect."
"By the way, if I exercise the renewal option in the second year, can I get another chance to activate potential?"
Of course not.
Tatsuma smiled profoundly. "My compensation won't disappoint you, no matter when."
"I understand."
Meredith wrote her name on the contract.
"Pleasure working with you, Tatsuma."
"Pleasure working with you."
Tatsuma put away the contract and chose a green trait to help Meredith awaken her traits.
Although the increase wasn't as high as Le Fay's, Meredith still showed a happy expression.
After that, he pretended to chat with Meredith about some management issues. After temporarily fooling her, he winked at Le Fay and then took the initiative to stand up.
"Let's end this discussion for now. I have another guest to see."
"Meredith, once you've finished handling your matters, come find me in Kuoh Town."
Meredith nodded in reply. "I'll get it done as soon as possible."
"I look forward to your arrival."
Tatsuma turned and left the restaurant, stopping in an alley several hundred meters away.
Half an hour later, a magic circle appeared on the ground, and Le Fay, who had changed back into her Magician attire and was holding a staff, walked out of it.
"I'm here."
"Did you say goodbye to Meredith?"
"No, I didn't really dare."
Le Fay lowered her head and replied, "I'm afraid Meredith won't accept me leaving to join Khaos Brigade."
"If you don't tell her, she'll be even less able to accept it."
Tatsuma looked at the panel in front of him that only he could see.
[Meredith Ordinton]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: Level 3]
[Traits: Manager (White), Dark Side (Green), Desire for Control (Purple), Magician's Bloodline (Purple), Justice (Red), Oath of Eternal Loyalty (Red)]
[Dark side (Green): Darkening progress +30%, Training effect +200%. The quality of this trait increases every time the holder encounters unfair treatment.]
[Desire for Control (Purple): Sealing Magic talent +300%, possesses a strong desire to control surrounding things.]
[Magician's Bloodline (Purple): Training effect +300%, Total Magic power moderately increased, Magic talent moderately increased.]
[Justice (Red): When encountering unequal treatment, Magic talent +1000%, Training effect +1000%, and gains the special trait Dark Side.]
[Oath of Eternal Loyalty (Red): Sealing Magic talent +1000%, always trusts those she recognizes.]
One green, two purple, and two red. Just looking at the initial traits, she was even more luxurious than Le Fay.
However, as the holder of Alphecca Tyrant, it was normal for Meredith to have high-quality traits. More than the trait quality, Tatsuma was more concerned about the effects of these traits.
His gaze lingered on [Dark Side] and [Justice] for a moment, then he looked at the hesitant blonde girl in front of him.
"Le Fay, you probably don't know about Meredith's true identity yet."
Le Fay was confused. "True identity?"
Tatsuma explained, "Meredith's current parents are not her real parents. She is actually the descendant of a member of the English royal family and a Magician guard."
"It's just that the royal member didn't want to acknowledge this illegitimate daughter, so they sent Meredith to be fostered in a Magician family."
"Perhaps out of a mother's love, Meredith's mother violated orders and met Meredith in private, telling her the truth. It is precisely because of this experience that Meredith is very sensitive to things like status and betrayal."
"If you leave without saying goodbye, the harm you cause her will be more serious than you imagine."
Le Fay: "..."
Le Fay fell silent after listening.
Recalling carefully, ever since Meredith knew she was the eldest daughter of the Pendragon family, she often privately consulted her about noble etiquette.
Le Fay hadn't paid attention to these things before, but after listening to Tatsuma's narration, she finally realized Meredith's thoughts.
Meredith was longing for status.
Being born into the royal family but unable to enjoy equal rights was a torment for her.
If, at this moment, her only friend disappeared without saying goodbye...
Le Fay subconsciously tightened her grip on her staff. "Tatsuma, I owe you another favor."
Tatsuma smiled. "No need to thank me, hurry up and say goodbye to Meredith."
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Le Fay summoned a teleportation Magic circle, and her figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
After seeing her off, Tatsuma turned his head to look at the empty space not far away.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
"When did you find me?"
A crack appeared out of thin air, and Arthur walked out of it, asking.
Tatsuma shrugged, "Actually, I didn't notice at first either, but when your sister greeted me in the restaurant, your emotions were a little agitated."
Although it was only for a moment, Tatsuma still felt a faint killing intent.
Originally, Tatsuma thought he was ambushed. However, after investigating with Senjutsu, he realized that it was just a certain siscon who had lost control of his emotions a bit.
"Want to fight?"
Noticing the hostility in Arthur's eyes, Tatsuma raised his hand and drew Gram from his waist.
"It just so happens that my swordsmanship has hit a bottleneck recently, and I want to find someone to spar with."
