"Although more than ten years is just a blink of an eye for me, it is a tenth or even more of a human life for you humans."

"And if you disappear during this time because the [Return Magic] deadline has passed, then my research will be ruined, so..."

She paused, then gave Galan a smile that was hard to decipher. "I will grant you a spell directly using [the Magic of Transfer Magic], saving you the time of learning magic."

"[The Magic of Transfer Magic]?"

A look of confusion crossed Galan's face.

Transfer?

How to transfer it?

Could it be that I can directly learn a type of magic?

"Given the limited lifespan of humans, it's impossible to learn many advanced spells within a finite lifetime. But through this method, one can instantly learn the spells I've spent countless years honing."

Serie slowly stretched out her hand towards Galan, opening her palm towards the sky. With a flash of light, Grimoire with miracle patterns on its surface appeared in her hand. As her thoughts shifted, the Grimoire in her hand changed its appearance, as if each one recorded the powerful magic she knew.

"So, what kind of magic do you want?"

Looking at the almost dreamlike scene before him, Galan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment. "Can I really learn a kind of magic directly?"

Isn't that similar to choosing your own skills in a game?

"Is it really possible to use any kind of magic?"

He asked excitedly, "I never thought I'd have the chance to become a melee mage one day."

"Of course, who do you take me for? Do you think I'd lie to you?"

However, I must tell you beforehand that although I can directly transfer a spell to you, extremely powerful and complex spells require a considerable amount of Mana.

"A spell like [Magic of Returning Curses] requires about the same amount of Mana as [Full-Deployment Defensive Magic]. With your current Mana, you'll probably only be able to cast it for a little over a second before it runs out."

Serie's addition was like a bucket of cold water poured over Galan's head, extinguishing his dream of becoming a melee mage.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. There's no such thing as a free lunch. The world is ultimately fair; a mage's training is mostly based on hard work and reward. The more you put in, the more you get out.

Even powerful Mana requires sufficient time to build up; this applies to Demons as well.

Therefore, the fact that I can obtain a spell without any effort is something that countless Mage dream of.

"So... are there any spells that require more nuance and manipulation? Like [Magic for Controlling Bacteria]?"

After a moment of deep thought, Galan asked tentatively.

Magic relies on imagination, and is also limited by imagination.

If the magic you learn is outside your understanding, you may not be able to unleash its full power.

Based on this, as an Apothecary, he has a relatively in-depth understanding of pharmacology. In addition, having been exposed to modern medical technology, he has a good understanding of microbial matters. Moreover, if it is to control such a small thing, the Mana required should not be too great, which is more suitable for his current situation.

Furthermore, this magic isn't just for assassination; if developed properly, it might even become a lifesaver... Why choose such a magic...? Don't you think this magic is rather boring?

Serie paused, then looked puzzled. "Even if you don't have enough Mana to support those powerful offensive spells, you don't necessarily have to choose this kind of magic, do you? If you want to learn developmental magic, I also have [Blood Manipulation Magic] that I can give you."

With a slight flick of her fingertips, a crimson-covered Grimoire appeared in her palm. "I guess you're trying to achieve lethality through control of bacteria, right? But that kind of thing is almost impossible to accomplish with magic; current knowledge simply can't support you developing such magic."

"Comparatively speaking, manipulating blood seems like a better option for you."

Serie's words weren't unreasonable. This world didn't have the advanced microscopic instruments of our time, and its understanding of bacteria and other microorganisms was extremely limited. If he wanted to develop such a system, he certainly couldn't just act on impulse. What if his lack of understanding caused the magic to go out of control and result in irreversible consequences? Galan couldn't help but think of the Black Death in medieval Europe.

That's terrifying too...

In comparison, [the Blood Manipulation Magic] seems more suitable for his actual situation and can also save lives.

Furthermore, compared to bacteria, blood seems to be easier to develop and control, and has less impact on the external environment.

If one can manipulate blood to create openings in the opponent's defenses during combat, it's not an undesirable thing.

The only problem is that I'm not Demons, and I don't have enough blood to manipulate. Losing too much blood will cause me to Xiuke and die. Therefore, to truly apply this magic in actual combat, I need a thorough understanding of the enemy's anatomy and blood composition...

But that would still require a lot of effort to research. Perhaps I could prepare some blood on me beforehand, just in case. "So? Have you decided which magic you want?"

Seeing that Galan was lost in his own thoughts and couldn't pull himself out of it, Serie couldn't help but speak up to bring him back to reality.

I've been waiting with my hand raised for so long, can't you give me a definite answer?

"Hmm... I want [the Blood Manipulation Magic]."

After sorting out his thoughts, Galan made his choice without further hesitation.

Then, the halo above Serie's palm dissipated, and the scarlet Grimoire landed firmly in her hand.

"Yes, after you go back and finish reading this book, you'll soon be able to use this magic."

She reached out and handed the book to Galan. The moment Galan touched the book, he felt a torrent of knowledge flooding into his mind.

So this is what it feels like when Nobita eats the Memory Bread...? Won't you feel bad? If you just hand over the magic to me like this, you'll lose all knowledge about this magic.

Do you recognize it?

After recovering from the shock of receiving the knowledge, he looked at Serie and asked.
