Everyone transformed into intense food enthusiasts, rapidly consuming their meals.

In no time, everyone had finished eating and left the cafeteria.

“You lot head to the lab and do your respective tasks, remember to be disciplined,”

Link glanced at the Brotherhood Group and the Social Phobia Group, awaiting instructions, and gave out his arrangements.

“Understood, boss.”

The Brotherhood Group and the Social Phobia Group reacted as if pardoned, quickly dashing off.

“Just the two of us now, do you have anything you want to say?”

Link looked at Jasmine, who kept kicking a rock, her head bowed as if shy to meet his gaze.

“Yes.”

Jasmine closed her eyes, mentally prepared herself, and quietly said, “I don’t want to fall too far behind, so I primarily sought out the Serene Wizard, pleading for the experiment to increase my Wizard Qualifications. The experiment was completed successfully, and the results were good.”

“Did she?”

Link didn’t comment but merely asked, “Then did the Serene Wizard tell you that there’s an issue of dissonance between your soul and your physical body?”

Jasmine shook her head, “After the experiment, I haven’t had a chance to meet the Serene Wizard.”

“I see.”

Link breathed a sigh of relief.

From what he knew of the Serene Wizard, if she had discovered this issue, she would definitely have informed Jasmine, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

This explanation implied that the Serene Wizard bore no malicious intent towards Jasmine.

She merely failed to spot the issue in time.

Link then voiced another doubt, “How did you find out that the Serene Wizard was conducting an experiment to boost Wizard Qualifications? I wasn’t even aware of it.”

Between the two of them, Link indeed had a closer relationship with the Serene Wizard.

It made no sense that Jasmine would be aware of something that he didn’t know.

More importantly, the experiment was to enhance Wizard Qualifications, not just a technical skill.

Any experiment carried significant risks.

Even if the Serene Wizard needed test subjects, there was no reason for her to pick Jasmine.

With the abundance of resources in the Southern District and the numerous lower-ranking wizards in the West District, a single call for volunteers would have had countless people vying to be her test subjects.

The Serene Wizard couldn’t possibly have approached Jasmine with this information of her own accord.

There must’ve been someone with an ulterior motive.

Jasmine didn’t hesitate, she said directly, “It was the Lokan Wizard who told me.”

“The Lokan Wizard?”

Link heard a name that was not really unexpected.

After contemplating for a while, Link decided not to pursue this matter that he could not deal with for now.

He would leave it for later.

After all, what’s done was done, and it hadn’t caused any adverse effects so far.

His focus now should be on how to resolve Jasmine’s soul-body dissonance issue.

After thinking for a moment, Link said:

“Going back to the fact that everyone must take responsibility for their own decisions.

I don’t know why you suddenly became so reckless and readily agreed to this body modification experiment.

But, I hope you didn’t just rush into it without careful consideration because of a momentary impulse.

I hope even more that you will be able to take responsibility for this and not regret your decisions in the future!”

Jasmine was taken aback, then she raised her head and looked at Link’s solemn face with those moist, doe-eyed eyes.

She stuttered a few times, but said nothing.

What good was there to say?

There was nothing to say.

It was her choice after all.

She had to face the consequences herself.

That was a fact.

That was reality.

Even though her heart felt an emptiness and a certain sadness.

She sniffled, cleared her throat, and said, “Yeah, I understand. I will take responsibility for my own choices and decisions.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Link nodded and changed the subject, “Now, let’s try and figure out how to solve your issue and bring your soul and body back in harmony.”

Upon finishing, Link took no notice of Jasmine, whose face had contorted from the sudden twist, and headed towards the laboratory.

He intended to review the information related to the experiment and techniques used in enhancing Wizard Qualifications, to get an understanding of the situation;

Then notify the Serene Wizard about the changes in Jasmine;

And finally, attempt to find a solution to the problem.

Jasmine gazed at Link’s tall figure, clenched her fists, and waved at him a few times.

This blockhead! Listening to his previous words, she thought he did not want to help her anymore.

He had given her such a fright!

How annoying!
