Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 210: Who Is She?

As they bickered playfully, Sonya raised her glass towards Engulite: Congratulations on entering the world of Sorcerers.

Its my honor. Engulite clinked glasses with her and took a sip before admitting, Actually, Im a bit scared.

Scared of what?

Scared of exploring the Virtual Realm alone. Engulite explained, The books all say that when Sorcerers first enter the Virtual Realm, the unfamiliar environment, omnipresent dangers, and the lack of any companions can lead to self-tormenting panic.

Being alone in the ocean, without anyone to rely on, without a goal to pursue, and with the possibility of vicious Knowledge Creatures emerging from the white mist at any moment, plus the deep secrets lurking in the sea that cant be explored Just thinking about it is terrifying.

It is said that some Sorcerers cant handle this fear and would rather stand still than enter the Virtual Realm.

Dont let appearances fool you, I dont have much experience living on my own. Besides killing a brown bear that broke into the yard when I was sixteen, I dont really have any notable battle achievements. I imagine itll take me quite some time to adapt to the combat pace of the Virtual Realm. Engulite looked at Sonya: Speaking of which, you seem completely unaffected, entering the Virtual Realm enthusiastically every night, and youre always in a great mood.

Adelle muttered under her breath, I always feel like Engulite is somehow elevating the average combat power of a sixteen-year-old girl

If it werent for people seeing you come out of the Meditation Tower, wed think you were out on a date, Lois chimed in with her own tease.

Is there any secret you can share? Engulite blinked, Or perhaps you have some advice for newcomers about to enter the Virtual Realm?

Lois and Adelle perked up their ears, hoping Sonya could offer some unwritten cheat code they could use.

Sonya paused, suddenly falling into a long silence.

Engulite exchanged glances with the others, cautiously adding, Sonya, I was just joking

Ah, sorry, Sonya said, swirling her drink. I just got distracted by something else Well, the reason I adapted to the Virtual Realm so quickly is because

She could have told any minor lie here, or even cracked a joke, like Going to the Virtual Realm means not having to listen to Adelle snore back at the dorm. But perhaps it was the slight buzz from the alcohol, or an inexplicable resentment bubbling inside her, that Sonya couldnt help but blurt out the truth: because Ive been going on dates in the Virtual Realm.

Everyone blinked.

Dates in the Virtual Realm?

The rustic girl instantly regretted her words and wanted to clarify, but suddenly she stood up abruptly.

Whats gotten into you now?

My Soul is healed, Sonya clenched her fists firmly.

What? Lois quickly caught on: You mean your Soul has recovered? But its only been seven days

What time is it now? Sonya cut her off urgently.

Adelle glanced at the clock in the hall: Its 10:45 PM.

Then theres still time. Goodbye, Im heading to the Virtual Realm!

Before the others could process her words, Sonya was already rushing out of the Secret Garden, moving so fast one might suspect she had used some spirit magic.

Is the Virtual Realm really that exciting Adelle was astonished: I wasnt even this excited for my first date when I was 15.

What did she mean by going on dates in the Virtual Realm? Lois asked, perplexed. Dates usually involve two people, so who is she meeting?

I understand now.

You do?

Lois and Adelle turned to Engulite, who had an expression of sudden realization.

What Sonya meant is that she has a date with the Slaying Fish-Dragon, the Mud Fish Dragon, the Umbrella Bird-Dragon; in other words, she wants to conquer these Knowledge Creatures, Engulite explained seriously. What drives her to adapt to the Virtual Realm and keep moving forward is the unyielding spirit of a warrior deep within her heart! Truly worthy of being the pride of Swordflower College, her spiritual cultivation has already surpassed that of an ordinary Swordcerer!

Lois felt that Engulites interpretation might be off, but she didnt have a better explanationcould Sonyas comment about a date really be taken at face value?

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Tap tap. Tap tap. Tap tap.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap

It started with a brisk walk, but soon turned into a jog, and before long, she was running down the school path.

The night scenery of the campus flew by swiftly on both sides, the Stars overhead guiding her path. Sonya didnt care about maintaining her image; she ran wildly, the cool breeze gently caressing her face, her shadow urging her to run even faster.

Sometimes, walking was simply too slow.

Her Soul had recovered, so that meant the Observers Soul must have recovered as well.

Since they both perished in the Virtual Realm in the same way, the amount of Soul they lost must be the same.

Yesterday morning, after waking up and combing her hair, Sonya noticed a bottle on her desk that looked like sparkling watera Potion, with a note underneath it stating Pure Radiance Special Drink and explaining that this drink could restore the Soul and accelerate the absorption of arcane energy.

Sonya knew at once that it was a gift from the Observer. While internally complaining about why the Observer didnt show up in person, she gulped down the drink.

As for whether the Observer might have drunk the Potion first and already recovered his Soul, Sonya never considered itnot least because the Observer had no ability to enter the Virtual Realm on his own. His recovery was meaningless without Sonya opening the Gate of Truth for the Exploration in Virtual Realm.

Moreover, she had a strong conviction: If the Observer found something valuable, his first reaction would be to give it to her, not to keep it for himself!

So what worried Sonya was whether the Pure Radiance Special Drink was the only bottle, and whether the Observer had not yet fully recovered his Soul. And whether the Observer had managed to escape from prison, what his current situation was, whether he had a safe haven to enter the Virtual Realm, whether he was well-fed, or if he was hurt

Why wouldnt he come to see me?

He used to bother me so often

Could it be that his current situation was so perilous that he couldnt even spare a moment to visit me?

But no matter what, she had to keep her promise.

Even if the Observer didnt come, she would wait for him in the Virtual Realm.

Meanwhile, Felix, who felt that the atmosphere at home was still not as good as at the Meditation Tower, chose to drive to the Tower to clock in for work tonight.

He had just gotten out of his car when he saw a redhead rushing into the Meditation Tower at an incredible speed, leaving the Noble young master staring in bewilderment.

She was a Silver Full-Wing, wasnt she even for someone of her stature, dying once should require at least half a month to recover. Yet now, not even seven days have passed Even if her Soul had healed, was there such a rush to enter the Virtual Realm?

However, Felix quickly remembered the beating he had suffered at Sonyas hands a few days ago, and a thought suddenly crossed his mindcould it be that Sonya was in a hurry to enter the Virtual Realm to slaughter Knowledge Creatures?

With her temperament, she might just earn the favor of the Lord of a Billion Brilliances

Maybe I should

While Felix was pondering whether to recommend the rustic girl within the Religion, Sonya had already entered the Meditation Room, sat down cross-legged, summoned the Vibration Sword spirit, captured the Gate of Truth, and connected to the world of the Virtual Realm!

Arrival!

When Sonya opened her eyes, she felt the solid ground beneath her feet, surrounded by a lush forest. Plants secreted droplets of radiant golden liquid, flowing upwards towards the brilliant golden sky, transforming into curtains of dazzling rain, bathing everyone fortunate enough to step onto the Time Continent in the Reverse Golden Rain.

But Sonya had no interest in the unique wonders of the Time Continent. The Red-haired Swordswomans gaze was entirely fixed on the man not far away in a deep red gradient coat.

The Observer squinted slightly as he looked at her, the annoying man who hadnt sought her out for days now had the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, his arms spread as if wanting to embrace her.

Her lips parted slightly, but she did not speak, and all the doubts and dissatisfaction in her heart dissipated like smoke.

Her body moved involuntarily towards him, she reached out her hand toward the Observer

And grabbed his throat.

Sonya glanced at the Black-and-White Witch Deya, who was as beautiful as she was, then her eyes fixed directly on Ashe.

Who is she?
