An Extra’s POV

Lucielle was a genius since birth.

Her entire childhood had been nothing but Magic, and even now—as an adult—it was all she could think about.

Due to her innate Skills, as well as her incredible pool of Mana, she was always bound to excel greatly in the field. However, rather than simply relying on her exceptional talent, Lucielle made sure to diligently study and understand Magic.

There was no pressure whatsoever. Every single ounce of Mana flowed seamlessly through her body, conducted perfectly by her staff.

Not a single drop was wasted.
