Madison and Sophie also indirectly possessed the system as members of the group.
Although the [Club Components] have not been fully recycled, their data is no longer concise, no longer just their names and the worlds they belong to.
It started to get complicated, much like what Basil had just seen.
So, after reviewing their data, Basil prompted, "You can check your own data. There have been updates."
Madison, riding her unicorn across the green grasslands, and Sophie, barefoot in the icy stream, both opened their interfaces upon hearing this.
Madison finished reading first, and exclaimed excitedly, "The Salem Witch? Good heavens! My ancestors were from Massachusetts? But why didn't I go to Harvard!"
"Spirituality? No wonder I had a headache when I first awakened."
She didn't care that her [Divination Prophecy] ability was disabled; in her view, it was just a normal situation for an ordinary witch, just like her own physical defects.
If all seven are fine, she might become Supreme Witch.
"I have seven talents! Seven is the most magical number, aren't I exceptionally talented!"
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 eight talents: seven of which are shared by all Salem Witch, and one that is unique to her. One of the shared talents is incomplete. The unique talent is the one that was first awakened."
"Your seven talents are all shared by the Salem Witch."
He comforted her, saying, "But it's also possible that it's because your unique talent overlaps with what we all have."
"Perhaps your telekinetic abilities, or your mental powers, are stronger than those of an average witch."
"That must be it." Madison lowered his head in disappointment and tightened his robe.
Madison seems really disappointed.
Since they met, Madison has been trying to expose more of her body to him.
But now, unusually, he tightened his robe, covering his body completely.
Sophie noticed this too, so even though she had finished reading, she waited more than a minute before asking the question softly.
"How come I only have one talent, and it's [Storm Control]? It's obviously transformed from the Hurricane Charm."
"It says above that I am Fairy Tale Mage who uses the power of emotions."
"Could it be that I'll enter a fairy tale world in the movie?"
Who was Agatha's boyfriend? The legendary King Arthur?
Madison perked up instantly when he heard that Sophie had only one talent, and then "inadvertently" showed off his shoulder.
"Aha, you're the only one!"
"However, my Summon Unicorn magic is not listed in my talents."
"Fairy tales do suit you, silly girl."
"King Arthur, perhaps. In the Tales of King Arthur, he chose Guinevere as his bride because of her beauty."
"Guinevere was betrayed by Lancelot. King Arthur lost his throne and died of grief. With such an experience, he might indeed not care about appearance, but rather about inner qualities. It's not impossible that he might fall in love with your black friend. After all, in Basil's story, she seems to be better than you, except for her appearance."
"Speaking of Agatha," Sophie said, taking out a pocket watch and checking the time. "Now I should meet her—in front of the wishing tree."
"Wait, I entered physically today."
She wasn't too surprised; in her view, this was most likely a privilege reserved for the company president.
Just as she, as the vice president, is the one who can initiate club activities.
"I'm leaving," Sophie said, looking at Basil. "You're coming with me."
"Hey! Is it really necessary to be so wary of me?" Madison feigned anger. But in the private chat, it said, "Remember, one hour later."
Basil: "Okay."
He vanished into thin air right before their eyes.
Madison's Basil robe, the grassland where the two were, and the entire space disappeared.
They reappeared in the lounge.
Then the two of them disappeared one after the other.
In the real world, a blood-red hue has unknowingly appeared in the sky.
As soon as Basil appeared, he found Agatha blocking his way with a dark expression.
She was only momentarily stunned by his charm.
She immediately shouted, "Give Sophie back to me!"
Then Sophie actually appeared.
She appeared in Basil's arms, only to be met with her good friend Agatha's angry questioning and spittle flying from her.
She didn't realize what was happening at first. "It's raining?"
Then, "Agatha?"
"Sophie!" Agatha rushed over and hugged Sophie.
Along with Basil.
The three of them became a hamburger, with Sophie as the meat patty in the middle.
Then, the three of them suddenly felt their feet sink into the ground.
It turned out to be a red and blue halo that appeared out of thin air around them.
At the same time, a mournful male voice said, "Sophie, you are destined to be mine."
"Damn it, you're playing dirty tricks on me, aren't you!" Basil knew the culprit the moment he was about to sink.
Raphael, who was suspected of being gay.
It is estimated that the story of his "true love" Sophie, which was originally planned for the storybook, is about to be removed.
So much so that he bypassed the proper procedures and resorted to underhanded tactics.
They were recruited into the academy without meeting one of the three requirements: knowledge of the School of Good and Evil.
Just as Basil was about to Apparition with the two of them, Riddle's voice rang out. "Stop."
Basil stopped.
The next second, it passed through the aperture.
The three of them appeared in the hands of a giant, feathered skeletal bird.
Soaring through towering mountains and amidst clouds and mist.
"Where am I?!" Agatha screamed in despair.
"Is this the fairy tale world?! My original storyline?" Sophie said to Basil behind her.
"Yes, this is the School of Good and Evil," Basil replied.
But on the other hand, he was talking to Riddle.
"Why are you telling me to stop?"
Riddle replied, "You can feel it in your body. When the Magnetic Field Rotation."
Basil's magnetic field began to rotate.
As his spiritual power flowed into the magnetic field and his perception improved, he noticed a force similar to emotions beginning to surge into his body.
It has no taste, just like bland mineral water.
Riddle explained, "My lord, this is the magic of this world—the fusion of negative and positive emotions. It awakens an additional talent within you, granting you the ability to master Finger Magic and become Fairy Tale Mage."
"Every blade of grass, every tree, every ray of sunshine, and every ray of air in this world is made up of this special emotional power."
"In the original storyline, the students had to attend classes for almost a week before participating in the magical Piercing Ceremony."
"It's because their bodies need to adapt to the physical modifications brought about by the School of Good and Evil, this Cave Heaven Blessed Land."
"Only in this way can one obtain the most essential power in the Fairy Tale Kingdom —emotion."
"That's probably why King Arthur, Prince Charming, and Captain Hook were all willing to send the next generation to school, even if they might fail the course and turn into animals."
"I see." Basil felt the rhythm within his heart. "In that case, perhaps the negative emotions absorbed by the [Encouragement] talent, and the [Source of Negative Emotions] that has become one with me, will transform into a real power like magic, instead of just being attached to spells as bullets."
"By the way, what is my magic?"
Riddle: "My master, you have come of age."
Basil: "What?"
Riddle explained, "When I was trapped in the Diary, I kept looping my memories. One loop was a year."
"I still maintain this habit to this day."
"And it has just gone through 7 cycles."
"Traveling through the world took you a total of 7 years. You are now 18 years old."
"So--"
"So I'm not a child anymore? This damn system is stealing my lifespan, huh?! Luckily I have the Philosopher's Stone." Basil was furious.
Riddle said, "No, although your body has experienced the passage of time, your lifespan has not decreased under the protection of the system. Your body has remained at its peak. The 30,000 gems were not only used to carve out the Eternity Passage, but also to maintain your body."
Basil: "Then why hasn't my height changed? And when I go back to Hogwarts, won't—"
Riddle: "No, in other people's eyes you are still a child. The only downside is that the magic of the Trace that are limited to minors probably won't work on you."
"As for your height, it's because your body has been kept in a constant state by the system. It will continue to grow."
"That's good." Basil breathed a sigh of relief.
His attention began to return to reality.
The three of them were almost at the School of Good and Evil.
Before him stood a building of remarkable symmetry, with two nearly identical fortresses connected by an arched bridge.
In the middle of the arched bridge stands a tall tower.
But that's only in Basil's eyes.
The Magic Field stopped rotating.
The scene that matched the two women's vision began to appear.
On the left, dark clouds began to shroud the sky, obscuring the sun. On the right, holy sunlight gradually emerged, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
The lake water was also murky and yellowish on the left, while it was crystal clear on the right.
"This is the School of Good and Evil."
The three, still in their hamburger poses, spoke in different tones.
Sophie represents longing, Agatha represents rejection, and Basil represents indifference.
Just now, Basil wasn't just thinking; he also introduced the two of them to the Good and Evil Magic School.
Of course, this is only the version released to the public.
In the movie, the key reason why Sophie turned to the dark side was that Raphael used magic to record the conversation between Agatha and Professor Duowei, the head of the Hall of Virtue, and then edited the video out of context.
It's obvious that Raphael, that ugly bastard, is just like Dumbledore, that old scoundrel, able to monitor everything in the House in real time.
So he left a message in the community chat to remind them of this.
They also indicated that a more detailed version would be provided in the public chat later.
Now, the skeletal bird with only feathers carried them under the arched bridge, across the luxurious grounds of the Hall of Virtue filled with green plants and flowers, and flew towards the Evil House, which was surrounded by black smoke and water, resembling a vampire castle.
"No, Sophie, you should go to the Hall of Virtue. You are a princess!" As they got closer, Agatha became even more excited than Sophie herself.
"We can just switch colleges when the time comes," Sophie said nonchalantly.
The same applies to Basil.
For Basil, the only advantage of the Hall of Virtue was its proximity to Beatrix, the real beauty in the film.
The rest were all rip-offs.
If you fail the exam, you'll turn into a small animal.
Beauty treatments, etiquette lessons— Basil isn't afraid of anything thanks to his handsome face.
But in archery, only those with pure Mind Stone can hit the bullseye.
In the original story, Sophie cheated by hitting the bullseye with Agatha's help, which made King Arthur's son Tedros think she was a good person and thus began to fall in love with her.
Basil would definitely fail this course.
The bad hospital is much better.
The strong rule, and the people here aren't entirely evil; even killing is only permitted after graduation.
Not to mention, there's Uglyology here, where you can become stronger by becoming ugly.
He can also use this to reduce excessive charm.
Sophie thought the same thing; she believed it was the villain's doing.
In this atmosphere, Agatha also quieted down.
Then the three were thrown into the murky mud.
However, at this moment.
In the Hall of Virtue, Tedros, who was rehearsing his performance with the other princes, suddenly noticed that the Excalibur at his waist had started to glow.
No, this light has never been so dazzling.
Even the hilt of the sword lit up.
Its form vanished into the light.
A holy and majestic light began to envelop the entire Hall of Virtue.
The evil that lurked within was expelled.
Evil chapters in fairy tales, such as the old woman being roasted in an oven, the Merpeople with her tongue cut out, and the woman dancing in red-hot iron shoes, have been removed.
The wishing fish, the skeleton bird, the teacup, the mouse, the cockroach, and other creatures transformed into human form, turned into light, and broke free from the academy's constraints to go home.
Anemone, Michelle Yeoh's beauty professor, suddenly shed her gaudy attire and returned to being the head of the magical history department.
The Professor Duowei, dressed in a golden robe and adorned with gold ornaments, lost all his poise and elegance, slumping to the ground, muttering repeatedly, "Finally, finally, true goodness has arrived! Arrived! The era of self-centered perfectionism is over! It's over forever!"
Even the abhorrent academy's Dean Lessie, who sensed the evil magic amplified by the pillar of light, kept murmuring, "Raphael, my love."
She was once chosen by Raphael but was abandoned because she wasn't bad enough. She always believed that her lover Raphael couldn't appear because good had prevailed over evil.
He was determined to cultivate a powerful villain to overwhelm evil, and thus became the headmaster of the evil academy.
They had no idea that Raphael could always show himself and didn't need her help at all.
Ah!
Inside the tower, beside the storybook, an elderly black man dressed in a magnificent blue and red robe let out a scream.
"Damn it! Arthur!"
He fell to the ground, the evil in the Hall of Virtue was expelled, and his disguise was shattered.
Centuries of effort have all vanished into thin air.
"No, I still have Sophie, I still have hope!"
The loose skin on her face became firm, red eyeshadow appeared, and the blue robe turned scarlet.
Raphael, the embodiment of evil in the fairy tale world, reappears.
Meanwhile, Basil was falling into the mud and water.
The dragon fire in his heart ignited instantly, and golden vertical pupils appeared.
He instantly sensed the call from the other side, from a long-lost companion.
The name "Excalibur" inexplicably surfaced in my mind.
A golden beam of light enveloped the three of them.
"No! Sophie!" The muddy water instantly turned blood red, condensing into Raphael's likeness.
His hand sizzled through the beam of light, making a crackling sound like roasting meat, and grabbed Sophie's ankle.
