Basil explained, "Ordinary witches are born with only a few talents, like your telekinesis. But in every generation, there is one witch born with countless talents—some say all talents—and this is the Supreme Witch."
"Fiona is one of the most outstanding among them. She can drain others' life force directly. Control minds, read minds. Resurrect the dead. Telekinesis. Teleportation. Divination. Astral projection. Create fire. Even curse a company into bankruptcy."
"But the Supreme Witch also has a flaw. When the next Supreme Witch appears, the previous one's magic power and vitality will be drained by the successor. Unless she kills the successor."
"Fiona has been searching for ways to extend her life and break this mechanism for years. Letting the Coven rot."
"That's why there are the dangers I mentioned."
"But even so, inside Miss Robichaux's Academy, it is very safe. As long as you are students there. Witch hunters and Voodoo practitioners are nothing to worry about."
"Those witches who were killed were ones the Coven didn't find, or who refused to enroll."
"According to the original plot, after you enroll for a while, another girl named Zoe Benson will enroll. Fiona will return to the academy because her investment in life-extending drugs failed. Determined to find the potential successor among the students and kill her."
"Of course, because your Headmistress Cordelia is her daughter. She won't conduct a massacre. Instead, while finding and killing the successor, she helps her daughter run the school well. She thinks Cordelia's ideas are outdated. Shouldn't just teach students to hide. After all, everyone has a smartphone now, taking pictures and posting them on Twitter and Facebook at the drop of a hat."
"The reason I want you to reveal your heart condition to her is that one of the characteristics of a Supreme Witch is radiant health, immune to all diseases."
"This way, in her eyes, you are a young witch who poses no threat and needs protection."
"Glad I'm not," Madison breathed a sigh of relief.
With Hogwarts magic, why would she need to be a Supreme Witch?
If she really were, what would she do when the next one appeared?
If the next one kept hiding and didn't appear, wouldn't she die inexplicably?
"By the way, since my world is a TV series, who is the main character? What's the plot?"
"And me!" Sophie shook Basil's arm. "What about me? I must be the main character, right!"
Basil pulled the two to sit on the sofa.
Who was Hermione right now?
He forgot completely.
"Let's sit down and talk."
"Madison, American Horror Story is an ensemble drama. I can only say you are the most brilliant character in it."
After all, he couldn't say Madison was drugged and gang-raped, killed by Fiona, violated by the old butler as a corpse, resurrected, died again, and resurrected again, could he?
Later, there would be a stupid cult worshipping the devil trying to destroy the world.
And a duel with the Antichrist pretending to be a warlock.
The Coven saving the world relying on the new generation Supreme Witch who could turn back time.
"That's good." Madison flipped her hair smugly.
"As for you," Basil looked at Sophie.
"You are the heroine, of a movie. To prevent you from entering the Fairy Tale Kingdom, forgive me for not telling you the movie's name."
"What about the male lead?" Sophie was curious first, then laughed, "Of course, he must not be as good as you. I've decided, you are my prince."
Basil looked weird. "There is a male lead, but not in the practical sense. The real 'male lead' is Agatha, your childhood friend. The True Love's Kiss between you and her saved the Fairy Tale Kingdom."
Madison quickly adjusted her robe. "That black girl friend of yours?"
Sophie hesitated. "If it's Agatha, it's not impossible. But in the fairy tale world, no prince likes me? I'm so beautiful."
Basil added insult to injury. "Yes, but that's a big villain who wants to use you for bad things. The prince who likes you actually likes Agatha too."
"It's just that Agatha gave up the prince for you."
"The prince discovered the truth and broke up with you. You blamed Agatha for messing things up."
"Because of this, you were seduced by the villain and turned dark."
"Until the finale, you realized the truth and took a hit for Agatha. Finally, you were resurrected by the power of Agatha's True Love's Kiss."
"Agatha abandoned the prince for you again. And returned with you to Gavaldon, which didn't welcome her."
"Sounds like I'm a jerk." Sophie's expression fell.
"Well," Madison forced an awkward smile, "you're not a jerk. You're a good person. Willing to be friends with a black girl considered a witch in a village that rejects witches, to the point of being rejected yourself."
"You just easily lose your head over men. This is probably why you gave up men and chose to be a lesbian later."
"So, you... why not sooner? Basil is all mine. You've done it with that Agatha, right?"
Madison pressed herself against Basil.
"No," Sophie hugged Basil's arm tighter, "I can't be selfish. Agatha should be with the prince."
"How about we ask the prince's opinion?" Madison leaned into Basil's ear, licked it lightly, and said, "I don't mind if you want both."
This was not a lie. Madison really didn't mind sharing men.
Even without the lie detection ability from [Veritaserum Connoisseur], in the original show, she was willing to share Kyle with Zoe.
She wouldn't be jealous because of this, provided she wasn't abandoned.
"Girls, the priority now is that I need to stay in Sophie's world for a month before I can return to my world," Basil replied.
But in the private chat with Madison on the chat panel, he replied: "As you wish."
Madison's hand quietly brushed Basil's thigh, crept up, touched gold, and retracted.
Also replying in private chat: "Then let me handle this little girl."
In reality, Sophie knew nothing.
She was both surprised and worried. "A month? I have some savings. But I don't know if it's enough for you to stay in a hotel."
She hadn't considered other options. In her mind, for a prince-like figure like this, only the luxurious hotel in town was worthy of him.
"You idiot!" Madison said grumpily. "If I were you, I would definitely let him stay at my house."
"But I haven't moved out yet." Sophie hesitated.
But... she suddenly realized Basil was a wizard. A prince who knew magic.
Dodging her family's sight would be a piece of cake for him.
Two little figures began to argue in her heart.
An angel Sophie with a halo put her hands on her hips and said, "Right, you can't bring a boy home without mom and dad's permission."
Bang! A bat-winged Sophie knocked the angel Sophie down with a stick. "I think, as a member of our world, as the heroine, it's necessary for me to make Basil, a guest from another world, feel the warmth of home."
While she hesitated, Madison started chatting privately again: "Remember to come in after 1 hour. Just say you're taking a nap. Sophie and her friend Agatha meet at this time every day and play until dinner before going home."
"She definitely won't introduce you to Agatha right now."
"OK." Basil replied.
Madison: "By the way, I'm a little curious. How pretty is that Agatha? Sophie has problems in her head but looks not bad. Is she as pretty as Iman Bowie (black beauty, Michael Jackson's MV heroine)?"
"Regular features. Skin isn't very dark, probably mixed. Considered decent in her racial group. Just that the styling in the movie wasn't great." Basil replied after thinking for a moment.
At this time, Sophie also finished thinking.
She blinked her big eyes and said shyly, "Basil. Why don't you stay in my room? I can sleep in the closet."
What a Rukia move!
And this is bad luck. In Bleach, Ichigo and Rukia didn't end up together.
Basil was shocked for a moment.
And Sophie thought Basil was hesitating, adding, "No one enters my room. None of them, including my brothers."
"Okay," Basil said (Sophie woo-hooed and jumped up), "but you don't have to sleep in the closet."
"Ah, isn't that too fast... one bed or something." Sophie lowered her head shyly, her eyes full of desire.
"Aren't you curious about what's inside here?" Basil shook the black leather suitcase in his hand.
"Let me see," Madison bent down exaggeratedly, her movements revealing key points, "Hmm, what's there? A thick and long wand? I guess oak, dragon heartstring?"
Smack!
"Alright!" Basil patted the butt that was almost in his face.
A bit wet.
"Hiss!" Madison sat up straight again.
Sophie's mouth opened and closed; she wanted to curse. But she controlled herself. She was also very curious about the contents of the suitcase. During the time answering questions in the club, she learned the names of many magical items: Extendable Ears, Ton-Tongue Toffee, Foe-Glass, Pensieve...
She wanted to see them in person.
Basil opened the suitcase.
"Jesus Christ! Did you steal Newt Scamander's suitcase?" Ten minutes later, walking down the stairs, out of the supply-filled cabin, and drinking a Coke, Madison couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Having read the novels and movies, she knew about the Undetectable Extension Charm.
But Basil's suitcase was too big.
It could rival Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 1, which she saw in the cinema last year.
Sophie also ate chocolate, eyes wide open.
And Basil was also shocked.
At first, he was a bit curious. These two girls could be considered protagonists of their respective worlds, high-weight characters.
Given their attitude towards him, there should have been a system sound [Ding dong! Your friend [XXX] sent a friend request].
But there wasn't.
Until he opened the Friends List and found their names already inside.
Club members directly considered friends?
Ridiculous.
Madison coveted Basil's body more.
Echo quality, White, Blue, Gold, Holy or Fallen—four levels representing the level of intimacy. Madison's pre-made Echo was only Blue, with a hint of Gold.
Simple Sophie was just short of full Gold.
In this case, his Knights would have one more member.
Maybe he could use this to peek into the finger magic of this world.
In this world, emotion seemed to be magic itself.
Similar to the Harry Potter world, but different.
This world leaned more towards fairy tales; the power of True Love's Kiss could transcend life and death, bringing the dead back to life.
Also, in the brief ten minutes just now, he learned some information from the two.
The purchased cards manifested completely differently on the two of them, which was one thing.
Madison seemed to use stamina, but considering the witches' frail bodies, combined with their worldview—Satan, the afterlife, ghosts in horror movies that can freely manifest and touch humans or even impregnate them, Voodoo gods like Papa Legba willing to grant immortality for pure souls, etc.
Their power, called Mana/Magic, came more from the soul level.
And related to bloodline.
Sophie's glowing finger, or finger magic. Combined with needing a brooch to activate it in the movie, it looked more like piercing the barrier between body and mind, allowing the power of emotion to burst forth.
This was probably why Sophie was so frantic just now, and his [Inspire] talent couldn't drain [Shadow] from her.
The power of emotion was converted into the magic of their world.
Their data panels also proved Basil's conjecture.
> [Name: Sophie]
> [Race: Fairy Tale Magician]
> [Health: 10]
> [Emotional Power: 23]
> [Luck: 5~9]
> [Talent: Storm Manipulation]
Clearly, the inheritance of talents for magicians in the Fairy Tale Kingdom wasn't as stable as in Harry Potter, so it wasn't a Family Trait, but a Talent.
Raising Emotional Power was also far easier than Mana.
They also had an advantage: they could increase magical power by becoming beautiful or ugly.
For this, the School for Good and the School for Evil offered Beautification and Uglification classes respectively.
> [Name: Madison Montgomery]
> [Race: Salem Witch]
> [Health: 9]
> [Spirituality: 17]
> [Luck: 4~5]
> [Family Traits: Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis (Unawakened), Vitalum Vitalis (Unawakened), Concilium (Unawakened), Transmutation (Unawakened), Descensum (Unawakened), Divination (Incomplete)]
Salem witches inherently inherited the Seven Wonders in their bloodline. No incantations needed; just a thought to use these high-level magics.
These were the seven talents in the Family Traits.
Passing the test of these seven abilities completely made one a Supreme Witch.
Ordinary witches, besides their naturally awakened ability, could also discover and master up to 6 abilities through practice.
This referred to abilities; spells could still be learned.
Madison was an ordinary witch; the lack of Divination ability meant she wasn't a Supreme Witch.
Among ordinary witches, she had average talent, or was the unlucky kind; her naturally awakened ability was Telekinesis.
So, only 5 ability slots left to discover.
The reason she was so unlucky, dying and living again, was probably because her Luck cap was low.
Among a bunch of high-luck people, if she wasn't unlucky, who would be?
