[Simulation Year 7, you are 21 years old, and you are advancing further on the path of an Elite Mage. Both your spiritual energy and magical power have improved, and your hidden strength is astonishing.]
[On the first day of the new year, you notice that the Witch has a bit more “human” aura compared to usual.]
[You feel both relieved and regretful.]
[Relieved because the Witch’s broken and damaged heart still has the possibility of being repaired.]
[Regretful because the difficulty of repairing it is hellish. Despite your efforts over two months, you’ve only managed to stir a tiny ripple in the Witch’s emotions.]
[Fortunately, the Witch’s body, which was on the verge of collapse, has been successfully saved by you.]
[After your treatment and two months of nutritional supplementation, the Witch’s frail body has gradually returned to a normal state, no longer just skin and bones.]
[Spring leaves emerge, and the earth revives.]
[The new year’s spring has arrived.]
[Your life follows a three-point routine, cycling between meditating on spiritual energy, researching new magic, and teaching Cressa.]
[Only on rare occasions do you visit the Mage Association in the city center to purchase some supernatural materials and gather information. You hear a predictable piece of news: the borderlands’ foreign races have been repelled by the Divine Church.]
[You return home and continue your magical research.]
[You begin to explore and think about how to further cultivate the Witch, so that even if she leaves you, she can survive safely in this world.]
The winter snow melts, and spring bursts forth.
The heavy snow that once buried the City of Allenson has completely disappeared.
The bright spring sunlight pours down freely, and the radiant sunbeams fall from the sky, landing on all people and things that need sunlight, including the withered tree in the corner of the courtyard, which silently sprouts new buds.
Xu Xi sits at the entrance of the courtyard.
The bridge above his head naturally forms a shelter.
It blocks the sunlight for Xu Xi, casting a cool shadow.
“The first step in cultivating Cressa is to help her gain the ability to protect herself. This goal is almost achieved. In another half a year, Cressa will advance to an Official Mage.”
“An Official Mage can learn Level 1-3 magic. Unless a higher-level mage intervenes, with Cressa’s talent, she is almost invincible among her peers.”
“Ordinary people are even less of a challenge. Even now, Cressa can handle them easily.”
“Then, it’s time to prepare for the second step.”
In the shadow under the bridge.
Xu Xi holds a thick magic book, his eyes closed in deep thought.
To make Cressa have an independent personality, so that she can live strongly on her own after the simulation ends, without being ostracized and hunted by others, preparations must be made in advance.
Some problems need to be solved early.
For example, Cressa’s demon bloodline.
Objectively speaking, Cressa’s personality is obedient and well-behaved. She has never thought of harming others, and even feels uneasy around strangers, let alone causing harm.
But.
This world is unreasonable.
The gods rule the earth, and the churches are their eyes and ears.
In this world where everyone worships the gods and sees demons as enemies, even the slightest connection to demons will make one an enemy.
It is almost impossible for Cressa to integrate into human society.
Unless—
“Either become strong enough to suppress all opposition, or make others believe that Cressa has no connection to demons.”
Xu Xi mutters to himself.
The former is too difficult to achieve. Even if this life goes smoothly, Xu Xi is not confident in becoming a god, let alone overpowering all the gods.
As for the latter, there is some feasibility.
“This world’s method of identifying demons is surprisingly primitive and crude.”
“At first, I thought there would be methods targeting the soul, bloodline, or even conceptual searches and identifications.”
“But from the materials I’ve read recently, whether it’s the Mage Association or the Divine Church, their methods of identifying demons are based on appearance.”
“In other words, as long as I can conceal Cressa’s demon features, she can appear openly.”
“Moreover, there has never been a case of a demon mastering magic before.”
“Even if suspected, Cressa can use magic to prove her innocence.”
Xu Xi ponders.
He finds this quite feasible.
Of course, he is not naive enough to think that such concealment can deceive everyone.
Even if it deceives humans, it certainly won’t deceive the lofty gods.
But Xu Xi’s requirements are not high.
He just wants Cressa to be able to move around outside, interact with people and things, so that her fragile and sensitive heart won’t become indecisive the moment she leaves him.
Therefore, as long as Cressa’s range of activities is limited, the possibility of being discovered can be reduced.
“Let’s ask the child for her opinion.”
…
[Simulation Year 7, Spring]
[The Witch’s strength grows stronger. To solve the possibility of the Witch being discovered, you begin to think about how to conceal her demon bloodline features.]
[You ask Cressa for her opinion. If she insists on not hiding, you will respect her choice, but her answer surprises you.]
[“I want… I want to become like the Mentor.”]
[It’s not that she wants to become human, but because you are human, the Witch also wants to become human.]
[Simulation Year 7, Summer]
[Cressa’s realm breaks through. Through continuous meditation, her spiritual energy reaches the standard line of an Official Mage.]
[Your Witch has been promoted to an Official Mage.]
[Simulation Year 7, Autumn]
[Through continuous research of ancient texts and self-study of life-attribute magic, you develop a method to effectively conceal demon features.]
[You call the Witch to the meditation room, and in this place where only the two of you exist, you begin the secret surgery to conceal the demon features.]
Cressa’s demon features are not many.
She doesn’t have large wings or a long tail.
From this perspective.
Xu Xi’s luck is good.
Because this means he only needs to deal with the horns on Cressa’s head and some of the scales on her skin. After that, Cressa will have a normal human appearance.
“Hope everything goes well.”
The slightly dim meditation room is cool and quiet, deep and silent, resembling some kind of cult sacrificial site.
“Click.”
Xu Xi turns off the insufficiently powered steam lamp and instead uses magic to gather light and illuminate the space.
Not far from him.
Cressa lies calmly on the stone slab.
“Cressa, this might hurt a bit.”
“I trust the Mentor.”
Her pale golden eyes show no emotional fluctuations, but through that emptiness, one can sense the presence of trust.
The surgery begins.
[You use Wind Magic to form sharp wind blades, meticulously grinding away the remnants of the girl’s horns, leaving only the roots connected to the nerves, hidden beneath her hair.]
[You use Level 3 Magic: Earth Shaping.]
[You use Level 4 Magic: Water Isolation.]
[You use Level 4 Magic: Fire Isolation.]
[You use Level 5 Magic: Life Mimicry.]
[You exchange high-quality Shape-shifter Slime from the Mage Association, shaping it into the color of human skin and slowly applying it to the scales on the Witch’s body, hiding them with exquisite technique.]
[Moreover, you imbue the Shape-shifter Slime with water and fire resistance and life characteristics, making it less likely to fall off and more like human skin.]
[Your disguise experiment is successful.]
[From the outside, Cressa no longer has any demon features.]
