Before waking up, Violet had an unusually long dream.

It's a dream about her past.

The girl was once a member of the Edward family, a wizarding family known as the "Angel Family" and famous for their spiritism.

Of course, she didn't inherit the spiritism of the Edwards family from the beginning, but was just a baby born from a branch of the family.

It was a remote city, and the ancestors did not own a fief. Despite this, the girl's life is already superior to that of the average commoner, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

In the new generation born from this branch of the family, Willett, like every child, underwent a magic test at the beginning of her birth, and was determined to be the one with the most talent to become a wizard. As a result, the girl was expected by her family from an early age.

The reason for this is a tradition that has existed since the birth of the Edwards: every once in a while, the elders of the ruling family would send invitations to the various branches of the family, asking them to send the most qualified members under the age of twelve to the location of the family's main line in the Luoxia Mountains.

This group of selected children is the candidates for the new generation of core people, and after a period of training and study, as long as they can persevere and accept the final "inheritance ceremony", they can officially become a member of the main line.

Like almost all the rest of the Crown family that rules the wizarding world of Maya, the main members of the Edward family all grew up from young wizards who could only stand out after countless selections and can be called "geniuses". They have great power in the family, and the division of the family that gets the quota will also benefit greatly from it.

However, despite the fact that they are mainly based on blood and family, wizarding families are different from ordinary nobles: the members of the main lineage will be selected equally among all the branches, and they will not even mind absorbing members from the outside world, constantly absorbing new blood to maintain their due vitality.

If you rest on your laurels, protect each other, and allow status to be passed unconditionally between family members, the glorious and excellent bloodline of the crown family will one day be covered with dust and eliminated by the times.

Taking history as a guide, wizards are well aware of this, and the upper echelons of the Edward family are sane and sober enough not to make such mistakes.

This is naturally a good thing for the relatively lowly members of the family, which means that everyone has a chance to climb up; But at the same time, it is precisely because it is relatively fair that the competition between the children becomes extremely fierce - especially what all the members go through when they come together: they will face round after round of brutal elimination when they are still young, and there will be no one in ten who can stay and get the inheritance status.

The so-called "legacy" is the source of the special magic that the members of the Edward family rely on to become famous.

They use spiritism to summon powerful and intelligent spirits from the spirit world and attach them to them, a process known as "séance rituals", and does not require the host to master any psychic abilities.

In this way, the wizards of this family will have a powerful companion and assistant to grow with them, no matter what field they choose to delve into. Although there is a virtual and real separation between human beings and spirits, their relationship will be closer than that of relatives, friends, and lovers.

Compared to the average psychic wizard, the spiritism of the "Angel Family" has a unique secret, which makes the connection based on ordinary contracts deeper......

Of course, there is nothing that is generally known to outsiders, and it is only a few rumors that circulate outside: it is said that members of the Edward family can completely merge their bodies and souls with the spirit body after their arrival; Or even go one step further, so that the contract spirits can get physical bodies like humans—

This undoubtedly violates the taboo of the mysterious world, and ordinary wizards may not even dare to think about it.

……

It was a scattered fragment that she had only vaguely heard about later. As a child, Welllit didn't know anything about all this.

But the witch remembers very well that at that time, she did not want to leave her family, did not expect to become a member of the "main line", nor did she want to become a so-called powerful psychic wizard, she felt that life in the original family was very good, both warm and reassuring.

However, everyone around the girl was encouraging her, and her relatives and elders had deep expectations for her...... Villerit didn't want to disappoint them, that's all.

So at the age of twelve, the witch, who was just a child, finally embarked on a journey to the Luoxia Mountains.

As mentioned before, Villerite has a reputation as a "child prodigy" in her family and in the wizarding academy of the city where she once lived, and she is far better than her peers.

But this excellence and self-esteem are overshadowed in front of a group of talented people who also come from all over the world and are carefully selected by dozens of families.

It turns out that she is not really outstanding, and she is actually mediocre compared to a real genius. Among the dozens of successor candidates, Willett's qualifications can only be considered in the middle and low. In the past, she had been living in a remote place, which gave her this illusion as a frog at the bottom of a well.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the girl will soon be eliminated.

At that time, Villerett was just a child, and he had not suffered much since he was a child, and his willpower was far from firm. When she lived alone thousands of miles away from her hometown and had to endure extremely difficult training sessions every day, she could not find anyone to talk to, and she could only cry silently in the dark night.

However, when I think of the faces of my family and the expectant expressions on my face when I saw him off...... I don't know why, every time she gives up on herself, she can always grit her teeth and persevere.

If the initial talent is not outstanding enough, it will take ten times more time and energy than others, so that the talent will blossom one day-

Yes, it's not the first time that Willett has experienced life like that in the Grimm School.

And just as she won the wizard duel that elected the chief student, the girl at that time also held out miraculously to the end......

Wellett had thought it was all going to end there. Even if there are more difficult and painful things to encounter in the future, that is what you need to consider when you grow up. Now, she just needs to enjoy the bitter time that has lasted for several years, and finally pick the fruits of victory.

However, the heavens may never have favored this girl - an accident happened.

An accident that no one expected, including herself, her teachers, and her peers.

At the last step of the advent ceremony, the possession process that should have been foolproof occurred in a hundred years, and an unknown spirit showed signs of rampage after coming to reality, involving everyone in it......

Memories were blurry, as unreal as the reflection on the water. At the end of the dream, Violet sees herself wrapped in flames.

It was the fire that burned everything, like the hell of the Red Lotus.

And in the endless flames, she seemed to see a vague silhouette of a human figure.

She also heard a voice, a cry from the depths of the fire.

Someone asked in her ear—

"All things come from fire, and where did the first fire in the world come from?"

……

"Hah...... Ha...! ”

The blonde girl lying on the bed opened her eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, her fair forehead was covered with cold sweat,

She woke up.
