[Animal Bloodline Upgrade!]
[You can choose an animal to merge with its bloodline and randomly gain one skill.]
[Currently integrated into the bloodline: Three-Headed Dog, Norwegian Ridgeback.]
[After acquiring the bloodline and learning Animagus, you can transform into an animal whose bloodline has been integrated into yours. Please choose your Animal Bloodline carefully.]
Silan glanced at the virtual screen in front of her, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
The hard work I've put in recently has finally paid off.
All we need to do now is extract the skills from Fawkes.
Both Nirvana Rebirth and teleportation are excellent skills, enough for him to save his life.
"Take these seeds back with you." Silan gave Fawkes another handful of Tonguefire Grass seeds.
Summer vacation is almost here, and we probably won't be able to see each other for a while.
"Thank you, Silan." Fawkes touched foreheads with him, not refusing.
After learning about Dudu's story last time, Fawkes completely let down his guard against Silan.
The two had been in frequent contact during this period, and had become much more familiar with each other, no longer being as polite as before.
"With the exam just around the corner, how's your preparation going?" Fawkes asked.
"To be honest, I'm a little worried." Silan gave an embarrassed smile. "I always get a little worried at times like this."
"I'm always worried that I won't get first place." He kept this half-sentence to himself, without saying it aloud.
"You'll have good luck, my friend."
"Thank you for your kind words."
After saying that, Silan reached out to Fawkes, grasped the tip of its wing, and gently shook it.
Goodbye, Fawkes.
The instant Silan's fingers touched Fawkes's wing, a virtual screen appeared before his eyes.
[Should I integrate with the Phoenix Bloodline and extract skills?]
Silan chose "yes" without hesitation.
The notification box flashed.
[Draw successful!]
[Skill: Nirvana Rebirth]
[Description: The raging wildfire will illuminate the dark sky, and those magnificent and noble souls will be reborn in the sunlight, immortalized.]
[Effect: Enhances your soul power. When you suffer a fatal attack, your body and soul will be transformed into flames, reborn at your chosen respawn point.]
[Note: This can only be triggered once every 30 days. If no respawn point is set, the character will be reborn on the spot.]
Fawkes gently shook its wings, as if shaking hands with Silan in farewell.
Goodbye, Silan.
"I look forward to seeing you again." Silan nodded gently.
After Fawkes left, Silan suppressed her excitement and calmly exhaled.
Drawing skills is a highly random process, Phoenix, being a Magical Creatures, has many unique characteristics. Before this, Silan was genuinely worried that she might draw some other effects.
While other effects may be decent, Nirvana Rebirth offers a much wider horizon.
To his greatest surprise, the Nirvana Rebirth allowed him to actively set his rebirth point.
This means that when faced with an insurmountable and fatal crisis, Silan's body and soul will disappear from the scene of death and return to the rebirth point he set for himself to be reborn.
"Not bad, this way we won't have to worry about being camped by others..." Silan muttered to herself, stroking her chin.
Nirvana Rebirth is indeed a great skill, but if it only allows you to revive on the spot, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
It would be troublesome if you encountered an enemy who would camp the corpse and finish off the enemy, since you can't trigger it continuously.
Setting a respawn point would be much more convenient.
If you encounter a situation where you can't fight back or run away, just use the "death escape" ability to force yourself back to the respawn point.
Silan suppressed her excitement and brought up the virtual screen to check the attribute entries for Animal Bloodline.
[Animal Bloodline: Level 4 (5/400)]
[Description: Between bestiality and divinity, can you retain your humanity?]
[Effect 1: You will be able to understand animals and communicate with them.]
[Effect 2: For Tough Skin.]
[Effect 3: Blazing Dragonfire.]
[Effect 4: Nirvana Rebirth.]
"Rooster, Felix Felicis, Nirvana Rebirth..." Silan murmured to himself.
"Now we're fully prepared. I'd like to see what that old Slytherin guy left behind."
After mentally calculating the dates, Silan realized that the exam was just around the corner, and he hadn't started studying yet.
"Let's wait until after the exam," Silan thought to herself.
Hermione walked towards the Gryffindor common room.
Every time she saw a glass window on the street, she would stop to look at her reflection and fidget with her hair.
As they returned to the entrance of the lounge, the Fat Lady asked with a curious expression.
Do they bother you?
"No."
Hermione blushed and said shyly, "I just wanted them to look nicer."
"Then I suggest you straighten them," said the Fat Lady.
Hermione remembered that Silan had given her a hair tie before, which would make her messy hair smooth as long as she wore it.
But because she was afraid of damaging it, she only wore it a few times.
Thinking of this, Hermione hurriedly gave the password, entered the lounge, and headed straight for her bedroom.
Pushing open the dormitory door, Hermione found Lavender and Parvati looking at her with pity.
This left her feeling somewhat bewildered.
"You must be strong, Hermione." Lavender came up and hugged her.
Parvati patted her shoulder with a sympathetic look and gently comforted her, "Losing a friend is nothing, you still have us."
Hermione, caught off guard Lavender, asked, somewhat bewildered, "What are you talking about?"
What friends have I lost?
Lavender and Parvati exchanged a puzzled look, wondering if there had been a mistake.
"It's just... uh... uh..."
Before Lavender could finish speaking, Parvati grabbed him and covered his mouth.
"Haha, it's nothing." Parvati winked at Lavender, then smiled at Hermione and said, "We were just kidding."
Hermione nodded, took out the hair tie Silan had given her from her drawer, and put it on.
Her previously messy hair instantly became fluffy and smooth, but Hermione was still somewhat dissatisfied. She patiently fiddled with her hair in front of the mirror on the table.
Perhaps due to a lack of experience, Hermione seemed a little stiff.
Lavender looked at Parvati, his eyes silently asking, "What is she doing?"
"I suspect..." Parvati squinted and whispered, "She's probably trying to tame her own hair."
Lavender gave him an incredulous look.
Hermione?!
Fixing your hair?!
Good heavens, has Merlin been resurrected?
Since first grade, Hermione has been so focused on her studies that she has hardly ever taken care of her hair.
That's why her hair always looks messy.
"What triggered this?" Lavender asked.
Parvati astutely guessed, "It's probably related to Prewett."
After watching for a while, both of them couldn't help but grimace.
Hermione's hair-fixing skills were nothing short of disastrous.
Hermione, who is usually very clever, was adorably clumsy in this matter.
"Let me help you, Hermione." Parvati picked up a comb and walked over to Hermione.
"Me too," Lavender chimed in.
"No..." Hermione stammered, "I just..."
"Alright, alright, if you keep doing it yourself, your hair will get tangled, and that will look awful."
Upon hearing the word "ugly," Hermione immediately gave in, obediently sitting down and letting them do as they pleased.
Parvati and Lavender were no longer worried about their final exams; instead, they were enthusiastically combing Hermione's hair like they were playing with dolls.
"Relax, Hermione."
"I'll make sure you look gorgeous, so that Prewett can't take his eyes off you."
"What does it have to do with him?" Hermione stammered softly.
Though she said that, her eyes involuntarily showed a hint of anticipation.
"Okay, okay, it's none of his business~"
"However, I suggest you practice first, and then surprise him after the exam."
