The Witcher Master and the Succubus's One Thousand and One Nights

"The Quen Sign is quite simple, did you all learn it?"

Vesemir asked, waving his right hand and casually dispelling the light barrier around his body.

As soon as Vesemir finished speaking.

Complaints from the apprentices began to rise one after another.

Huus complained, "How could it be so fast? I haven't even found my mutated organ yet."

Fred and Bont echoed him in agreement.

Although they were slightly better than Huus, they had only just found their mutated organs.

How could anyone master a sign so quickly?

"Hahaha, then you'll have to work harder."

"Among the apprentices I've taught, many can learn a sign within a day."

"If you can learn Quen within a day, I will..."

Vesemir was about to make a promise when he suddenly remembered that one apprentice hadn't spoken yet.

He quickly interrupted, pretending to be casual, and asked, "Ailin, did you learn it?"

Ailin replied without hesitation, "I learned it."

He didn't plan to hide his abilities.

Last night, he had thought for a long time about how to leave the castle and hunt drowners.

In the end, he could only think of one way – Vesemir.

Tomorrow was another day for "Monster Economics" and practical combat class, and Vesemir would definitely be leaving Kaer Morhen today.

"Did you really learn it?" Vesemir asked, incredulously adjusting his hat.

Ailin remained silent.

Following the knowledge in his mind, he bent his thumb and little finger, brought his middle and ring fingers together to form the sign, and drew a triangle in front of him.

A barely visible yellow light flashed.

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

Huus subconsciously mimicked Ailin's movements, bending his fingers to form the sign.

Nothing happened.

He awkwardly retracted his right hand, glanced to his sides, and let out a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone's attention was not on him.

Relief, envy, sadness...

Various emotions flooded his young mind.

"The movements are so simple, why can't I do it?" Huus thought.

Finally, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Ailin, you're amazing!!!"

The others also snapped out of their stupor at Huus's voice.

"Ailin, how did you do it? Teach me quickly," Fred asked eagerly.

Bont echoed him, looking at Ailin with anticipation.

Ailin felt a bit speechless.

The teacher is right here, and you want me to teach you like this?

Isn't this undermining Vesemir?

Vesemir didn't think that far.

After observing for a moment, he extended his index finger and poked Ailin's almost transparent Quen shield.

With a "pop," the semi-transparent shield lasted only a moment before shattering.

"Although the shield's strength is still weak, the mana distribution is even, and the casting speed is not slow," Vesemir judged. "This Quen Sign is acceptable."

If it weren't for the fact that Vesemir had taken over these apprentices after the Trial of Grasses, He would truly suspect that Ailin had learned it beforehand.

Who could learn something instantly after the lesson was just finished, without even needing to practice?

It was utterly preposterous.

He glanced at Ailin, who stood expressionless, awaiting his evaluation.

Vesemir couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"How many times has this happened now? Losing composure due to an apprentice's unbelievable talent."

"It's time to go to the library and find that experimental record. Are all apprentices with the Witcher's Eye like Ailin?"

"How could such a Witcher disappear without a trace?"

Vesemir gestured, pushing the leaning apprentice back into place, and said with admiration, "Ailin, your Quen Sign is now up to standard."

"It's up to standard just like this? What's the use of learning a shield that breaks with a poke," Bont couldn't help but question.

"Superficial!"

Vesemir's smile vanished.

"Being able to cast Signs is just the first step; physical fitness is the key that ultimately determines the strength of the Sign."

"You've just undergone the Trial of Grasses, and the mutated tissues created by the process haven't fully integrated yet."

"Once the potions are balanced, the strength of all Signs will increase dramatically. The Quen Sign will be strong enough to withstand two to three attacks from a Drowner."

After explaining, Vesemir looked kindly at Ailin and said, "Ailin, today's Sign lesson is only on Quen. You are free to do as you please now."

"Wow!"

The apprentices looked at Ailin with envy, thinking he was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ailin shook his head and requested, "Master Vesemir, I'd like to ask for a favor."

"What is it?" Vesemir asked.

Ailin organized his thoughts.

"Yesterday morning, I heard you and Leto were going out to hunt Drowners."

"I'd like to go with you."

Vesemir asked curiously, "Why?"

"I want to hunt more Drowners to familiarize myself with their attack patterns," Ailin paused, then truthfully said, "The Trial of the Mountains is coming soon, and I'm afraid I won't even pass the first stage."

Upon hearing about the Trial of the Mountains, Vesemir subconsciously glanced at the other apprentices.

The three apprentices who had been chatting quietly became somewhat dejected upon hearing Ailin's words.

The Trial of the Mountains was the last mountain pressing down on them.

Which apprentice hadn't had nightmares of dying during the trial?

Finally, Vesemir sighed inwardly and agreed to Ailin's request.

"Leto and I originally planned to hunt Drowners this afternoon."

"However, since you're coming, we can change the time to evening."

"After your classes this afternoon, come straight here, and we'll set off once we meet."

Ailin immediately responded, "Okay, Master Vesemir."

Seeing that everything was proceeding as he had envisioned, Ailin breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to stay and help Vesemir teach the apprentices.

But he hadn't been teaching for long before he was sent away.

The reason given was that he was disrupting the other apprentices' classes.

Ailin accepted this reason and left obediently.

However, that evening, Huus told Ailin.

He, Bont, and Fred all agreed that Ailin's teaching skills were far superior to Vesemir's.

After leaving the apprentice training grounds, Ailin hesitated for a moment between the library and the alchemy room, ultimately choosing the library.

The agreed-upon time with the Sorceress hadn't arrived yet.

Moreover, it wasn't just Vesemir who was curious about what the Witcher's Eye was like.

Ailin was also very curious.

He also needed to use this information to figure out how to disguise himself in the future.

Both the library and the alchemy room were located in Kaer Morhen's inner area, in separate towers on the sides of the main keep.

One was in the north tower, and the other was in the east tower.

When Ailin arrived at the library, the door was open.

Ailin looked inside.

Big.

This was Ailin's first impression of the School of the Wolf's library.

Although it couldn't compare to the libraries of his previous life, looking in from the doorway, the rows upon rows of dark solid wood bookshelves seemed to stretch endlessly.

Before coming here, Ailin had assumed the library would be the same size as the alchemy room.

There was only one young man wearing a black robe inside the library.

He wore glasses and held a book in his hands, sitting by the entrance and reading with great interest.

He didn't even notice Ailin approaching him.

"Hello," Ailin greeted softly.

The man remained engrossed in his book, not looking up.

Ailin had no choice but to tap his desk, raise his voice, and call out again.

"Hello, I'm here to find the experiment re—"

Bang!

Startled by Ailin's reminder, the man flung his book upwards.

If Ailin's perception hadn't been greatly enhanced this morning, the book would have nearly hit his face.

Swiftly catching the book, Ailin couldn't help but think to himself:

I didn't expect the first time I'd benefit from my enhanced perception would be outside of combat.

As he put the book down, Ailin glanced at the title:

The Witcher Master and the Succubus's One Thousand and One Nights

Ailin: "?"
