Madison and Sophie could also be considered indirect system users as club members.
Although the [Club Component] wasn't fully recovered, their data was no longer simple, not just names and world affiliations.
It started to become complex, similar to what Basil had just seen.
So, after checking their data, Basil hinted, "You can check your own data. It has been updated."
Madison, riding a unicorn across the green grassland and revealing much of her body, and Sophie, cooling her bare feet in the icy stream, both opened their panels upon hearing this.
Madison finished reading first and exclaimed excitedly, "Salem Witch? Oh my god! My ancestors are from Massachusetts? But why didn't I go to Harvard!"
"Spirituality? No wonder I had headaches when I first awakened."
She didn't care that her [Divination] ability was incomplete; in her view, it was just a normal situation for an ordinary witch like her with physical defects.
If all seven were fine, she might be a Supreme Witch.
"I have seven talents! Seven is the most magical number, am I particularly gifted!"
She looked at Basil with hopeful eyes.
Basil sighed. "In the Harry Potter world, seven is the most magical number. And that's just Voldemort's opinion."
"Based on your data and the situation in the TV series."
"The limit for a normal witch is 8 talents: 7 shared by Salem witches, and one unique to oneself. One of the shared ones is incomplete. The unique one is the talent awakened at the very beginning."
"Your seven talents are all shared by Salem witches."
He comforted her, "But it's also possible that your unique talent overlaps with the shared ones."
"Maybe your telekinesis is stronger than the average witch."
"Must be." Madison lowered her head in disappointment and tightened her robe.
It seemed Madison was really disappointed.
Since they met, Madison had been trying to expose more parts of her body in front of him.
But now she rarely tightened her robe, covering her body tightly.
Sophie also noticed this, so although she had finished reading, she waited more than a minute before asking softly.
"Why do I only have one talent, [Storm Manipulation], which obviously comes from the Hurricane Charm?"
"It says I'm a Fairy Tale Magician, using the power of emotion."
"Will I enter the fairy tale world in the movie?"
"Who is Agatha's boyfriend? The legendary King Arthur?"
Hearing Sophie only had one talent, Madison instantly perked up and "inadvertently" exposed her shoulder again.
"Aha, you only have one!"
"But why didn't my unicorn summoning magic appear in the talents?"
"Fairy tales, indeed suit a foolish girl like you."
"King Arthur... it's possible. In the Legend of King Arthur, he chose his bride Guinevere for beauty."
"And Guinevere betrayed him for Lancelot. King Arthur lost his throne and died of a broken heart. With such an experience, he might indeed not care about looks and care more about the heart. Falling in love with your black friend isn't impossible. After all, in Basil's story, she seems better than you, except for looks."
"Speaking of Agatha," Sophie took out a pocket watch and checked the time, "I should meet her now—in front of the Wishing Tree."
"Wait, I entered physically today."
She wasn't overly surprised; in her view, this was likely a privilege of the President.
Just like she, as Vice-President, could start club activities.
"I'm leaving," Sophie looked at Basil, "you come too."
"Hey! Is it necessary to guard against me?" Madison pretended to be angry. But in the private chat interface: "Remember, in an hour."
Basil: "Okay."
He vanished into thin air in front of them.
Basil's robe on Madison, the grassland they were on, and the entire space disappeared.
They reappeared in the common room.
Then both disappeared one after another.
In the real world, a touch of blood red had unknowingly appeared in the sky.
As soon as Basil appeared, he found Agatha blocking his way with a dark face.
Facing his charm, she was only briefly stunned for a moment.
She then shouted: "Give Sophie back to me!"
Then Sophie really appeared.
Appeared in Basil's arms, greeting her best friend Agatha's angry questioning and accompanying spittle.
She didn't realize anything at first. "Is it raining?"
Then, "Agatha?"
"Sophie!" Agatha lunged forward and hugged Sophie.
Along with Basil.
The three became a hamburger, with Sophie as the meat patty in the middle.
Then, the three felt empty under their feet.
It turned out a red and blue ring of light appeared out of thin air around them.
Accompanied by a plaintive male voice: "Sophie, you are destined to be mine."
"Damn, playing dirty with me!" Basil knew the culprit the moment he was about to sink.
That suspected homosexual Rafal.
Probably because the story of his "true love" Sophie originally set in the [Storian] was about to disappear.
So he skipped the process and played dirty.
Pulling them into the school without meeting one of the three requirements: knowing about the School for Good and Evil.
Just as Basil was about to Apparate away with the two, Riddle's voice sounded: "Stop."
Basil stopped.
The next second, passing through the light ring.
The three appeared in the grasp of a huge feathered skeleton bird.
Flying among high mountains and clouds.
"Where is this!" Agatha screamed in breakdown.
"Is this the fairy tale world! My original plot?" Sophie asked Basil behind her.
"Yes, this is the School for Good and Evil," Basil replied.
But on the other side, he was talking to Riddle.
"You told me to stop because?"
Riddle replied: "You can feel your body. Under the condition of magnetic field rotation."
Basil's magnetic field began to rotate.
With mental power pouring into the magnetic field, enhancing his perception, he found a power similar to emotion beginning to pour into his body.
It had no taste, like monotonous, tasteless mineral water.
Riddle explained simultaneously: "My Lord, this is the magic of this world—after negative and positive emotions cancel out and merge. It allows you to awaken an extra talent. Qualify to master finger magic and become a Fairy Tale Magician."
"Every blade of grass, tree, sunlight, and air in this world is composed of this special emotional power."
"In the original plot, the reason students attend classes for nearly a week before participating in the piercing ceremony to grant magic..."
"Is because their bodies need to adapt to the transformation brought by the paradise of the School for Good and Evil."
"Only then can they obtain the power closest to the essence in the Fairy Tale Kingdom—emotion."
"This is probably why King Arthur, Prince Charming, Captain Hook, and others are willing to let their next generation attend school here. Even if they might fail courses and turn into animals."
"I see." Basil felt the rhythm in his heart. "In this case... maybe the negative emotions absorbed by the [Inspire] talent, and the [Source of Negative Emotions] merged with me, will turn into real power like magic. Instead of just being attached to spells as bullets."
"By the way, what about my mana?"
Riddle: "My master, you are an adult now."
Basil: "What?"
Riddle explained: "When I was trapped in the diary before, I kept looping my memories. One loop is a year."
"Until now, I have maintained this habit."
"And just now experienced 7 loops."
"Traversing the world consumed a total of 7 years of your time. You are now 18 years old."
"So—"
"So I'm not a kid anymore? This dog system steals my lifespan too! Good thing I have the Philosopher's Stone." Basil went crazy.
Riddle said: "No, although your body experienced the passage of time. Under the system's protection, your lifespan did not pass. Your body has also been maintained at its peak. The thirty thousand Gems, besides carving out the eternal passage, were also consumed in the maintenance of your body."
Basil: "Then why hasn't my height changed? And when I return to Hogwarts, won't—"
Riddle: "No, in the eyes of others, you are still a child. The only downside is that the magic of the Trace, limited to minors, probably won't work on you."
"As for your height, this is because your body state is constant by the system. It will continue to grow later."
"That's good." Basil breathed a sigh of relief.
His attention began to return to reality.
The three of them were also nearing the School for Good and Evil.
Currently, before him was a building of extreme symmetrical beauty; two nearly identical fortresses connected by an arch bridge.
In the middle of the arch bridge stood a high tower.
But this was only in Basil's eyes.
The magical magnetic field stopped rotating.
The scene identical to what the two girls saw began to appear.
The left side began to be shrouded in dark clouds, blocking the sun. The right side gradually showed holy sunlight and overflowing fragrance of flowers.
The lake water was also turbid and yellowish on the left, and crystal clear on the right.
"This is the School for Good and Evil."
The three, still maintaining the hamburger position, said in different tones.
Sophie with longing, Agatha with rejection, Basil with indifference.
Basil wasn't just thinking just now; he also introduced the situation of the School for Good and Evil to the two.
Of course, only the external version.
In the movie, the key to Sophie turning dark was actually Rafal using magic to record the conversation between Agatha and the Dean of Good, Professor Dovey, taking it out of context and editing it.
Clearly, this ugly Rafal, like that old geezer Dumbledore, could monitor everything in the school in real-time.
So, he left a message on the club public screen, hinting at this.
And indicated he would tell the detailed version in the public screen later.
And now that feathered skeleton bird carried them under the arch bridge, past the luxurious grounds of the School for Good filled with greenery and fresh flowers, flying towards the School for Evil shrouded in black smoke, surrounded by water on all sides like a vampire castle.
"No, Sophie, you should go to the School for Good. You are a princess!" Getting closer, Agatha acted more excited than Sophie herself.
"Just switch schools later." Sophie acted calm and breezy.
Basil was the same.
For Basil, the only advantage of the School for Good was being close to the true beauty of this movie, Beatrix.
Everything else was a trap.
Failing exams meant turning into small animals.
Beautification and Etiquette classes, Basil wasn't afraid with his face.
But Archery... in this damn world, only those with pure hearts could hit the bullseye.
In the original plot, Sophie relied on Agatha's help to cheat and hit the bullseye, making King Arthur's son Tedros think she was a good person and start loving her.
Basil would definitely fail this course.
The School for Evil was much better.
Survival of the fittest; people here weren't completely bad, and killing was only allowed after graduation.
Not to mention there was Uglification class here; one could become stronger by becoming ugly.
He could use this to reduce his excessive charm.
Sophie thought the same; she thought this was the work of that big villain.
In this atmosphere, Agatha also quieted down.
Then the three were thrown into the muddy water.
However, at this moment.
In the School for Good, Tedros, who was rehearsing his entrance with other princes, suddenly noticed Excalibur at his waist starting to glow.
No, this light had never been so brilliant.
Even the hilt lit up.
Its form disappeared into the light.
Holy, majestic light began to envelop the entire School for Good.
The evil lurking inside was expelled.
The evil chapters in fairy tales—the old woman roasted in the oven, the mermaid whose tongue was cut off, the woman dancing in red-hot iron shoes—were deleted.
Wishing fish, skeleton birds, teacups, rats, cockroaches, and other creatures turned back into human forms, turned into light, broke free from the school's shackles, and went home.
Professor Anemone of Beautification (played by Michelle Yeoh), instantly shed her gaudy attire and became the History of Magic teacher again.
Professor Dovey, wearing a golden gown and decorations, lost her dignified elegance, slumped on the ground, muttering incessantly: "Finally, finally, true Good has descended! Descended! The era of self-centered perfectionism is over! Over forever!"
In the School for Evil, Dean Lesso, sensing the evil magic stimulated by the pillar of light, also kept murmuring: "Rafal, my love."
Having been chosen by Rafal but abandoned for not being bad enough, she always thought her lover Rafal couldn't appear because Good suppressed Evil.
Bent on cultivating powerful villains to suppress Good, she became the Dean of Evil.
Not knowing at all that Rafal could always appear and didn't need her help.
Ah!
In the high tower, beside the [Storian], an old black man wearing a gorgeous blue and red robe screamed.
"Damn it! Arthur!"
He fell to the ground; the expulsion of evil in the School for Good broke his disguise.
Centuries of effort turned into flying smoke.
"No, I still have Sophie, still have hope!"
The loose skin on his face tightened, red eyeshadow appeared, and the blue robe turned scarlet.
The embodiment of Evil in the fairy tale world—Rafal reappeared.
At the same time, Basil falling into the muddy water.
The dragon fire in his heart instantly ignited, and golden vertical pupils appeared.
He instantly sensed a call from a long-lost partner on the opposite side.
"Excalibur." This name inexplicably surfaced in his heart.
A golden pillar of light enveloped the three.
"No! Sophie!" The muddy water instantly filled with blood red, condensing into Rafal's form.
His hand passed through the pillar of light, making a sizzling sound of roasting meat, and grabbed Sophie's ankle.
