An Unexpected Finding at the Follow-Up

Although he had a lot planned for the holiday, Manus took a good rest on his first day back home.

Without visiting anyone, without exercising in the morning, and without even going out, Manus quietly enjoyed a day of the most comfortable blend of research, leisure, and entertainment at home.

Suddenly, I feel that living this kind of life after graduation would be quite pleasant.

Before going to bed, Manus turned his head and glanced at the moon outside the window:

"However... this isn't a place where you can live a leisurely life."

For Manus, the most comfortable state of life is like today. Unfortunately, this world is not the world he came from before, which has a complete magic system built by the Magic God and the Lord of a Plane.

Continuing to live this kind of life, Manus would be completely unable to absorb new magical knowledge from the outside world while conducting his research, and he wouldn't be able to let his inspiration collide and corroborate with the ideas of others...

Moreover, in this world, it's even possible that after decades of research, one might look up to see what others have accomplished, only to discover that the overall level of magical research in the world has regressed by decades.

Because a pioneer in a certain field died within those decades, and no one was able to carry on his research.

If Nicolas were to die, the world's Alchemy would regress by hundreds of years without a problem; very few modern Wizard would know proper Alchemy anymore.

Discontinuity in knowledge transmission, technological monopoly, and lack of systematic teaching and research...

In such a world, it's impossible for a Mage to stay in one place and conduct research alone. The path of magic is visibly barren and narrow, and research done alone without verification can easily go astray...

So even if you don't like it or find it troublesome, you still have to do it. Only by building the system can you do your research with peace of mind.

Just like those Magic God and Lord of a Plane did.

Who knows, maybe I can become one of them someday?

Although Manus aspires to become Magic God, it is merely a verbal ideal. Failure to achieve it will not cause any significant consequences, and it is entirely different from pursuing a life goal of magic.

To become Magic God, one must not only forge a completely new and unique magical path, but also find the opportunity to integrate it into the workings of the world. After completing this step, something that never existed before will become part of the world's common sense and norms.

With the birth of each Magic God, the world will be vastly different from the past.

Therefore, some people say that becoming Magic God is like adding one's own color to a painting called the world.

Besides ability, luck also plays a big role in this kind of thing; not every outstanding Mage can encounter the right opportunity.

Manus's teacher was qualified, but he never had the right opportunity—the chance to become Magic God through the path of Enchantment School magic is the rarest, and the influence after becoming Magic God is the most widespread.

Even without becoming Magic God, it doesn't prevent masters of the Enchantment School from conducting research and achieving their magical accomplishments.

Therefore, Manus did not have a deep obsession with this.

The same applies to the Lord of a Plane; whether it's acquiring ownership of a plane or discovering a completely new, unclaimed plane, it's all too far-fetched for Manus.

Furthermore, compared to Magic God who influences the world through their own power, Lord of a Plane is far more susceptible to external influences. While the path one takes after becoming Lord of a Plane still involves exploring magic, it actually diverges significantly from the traditional understanding of Mage...

Many Mage believe that such effort is worthwhile in comparison to the benefits, as people constantly choose and adjust their path as they move forward. However, Manus declined the offer.

Well, it sounds a bit like the saying "I don't like grapes because I can't have them," but that's really what Manus thinks.

The next morning, Manus woke up according to his biological clock, ate breakfast, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out.

With only a week left before his trip to France, the thing Manus was so eager to do was to have Mrs. Travers's follow-up appointment.

Manus did not choose the Knight Bus for this trip, but instead took Sleipnir to the Travers' mansion.

After speaking with Manus, Bellows couldn't even wait until the next day to take the Hogwarts Express home. That very night, he wrote a letter and had his owl deliver it home to inform his parents.

Now that Manus has just arrived, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Travers brought up the matter, elaborating in more detail on their previous ideas and actions, and seeking Manus's advice.

"At this stage, it's true that not interfering with or controlling it is best for the recovery, but there's no need to worry too much. Actively controlling the duration of drowsiness doesn't have a serious negative impact on the body."

Seeing the father and son looking as if the sky were about to fall, Manus comforted them, explaining that the feeling of having meant well but ending up doing something wrong was indeed unpleasant.

"So if something is very important, it's okay to restrain yourself a little, just don't do it too often."

Then Manus thought for a moment and said:

"But this situation won't last forever. Once Mrs. Travers' condition recovers to a certain extent, we can't let her soul continue to stagnate; appropriate restraint is necessary..."

At this point, Manus felt that this statement was too general and would only confuse Bellows and the others about how to proceed, so he added:

"I will tell you the specifics of how to proceed after the inspection. If there are no abnormalities in the meantime, no adjustments are needed. If any abnormalities occur, just contact me immediately."

That makes it very clear.

"Good!"

Afterwards Manus examined Mrs. Travers's condition and, somewhat to Manus surprise, found that Mrs. Travers recovery was progressing exceptionally well, much better than originally expected...

Mrs. Travers' recovery progressed far beyond the effects of the drugs Manus used, yet her soul was not yet at a point where it could begin to heal itself without medication.

After much thought, Manus reluctantly came to a conclusion: even the self-healing of the soul can be amplified in this world; for example, the long-term and meticulous companionship of a husband and son can help with recovery.

As for why Mrs. Travers in the past did not experience a similar situation despite having Bellows and his father by her side, it was probably because she did not receive effective treatment at the time.
