She was woken up briefly by the smell of food, a single food tray was on a bedside table near her bed with a small sie that read '[Eli-Eli, not feeling well. I think the mana drain is worse than expected so I used a higher-tier spell that will knock me up till tomorrow m. -Rossie]' and besides that one ara one was added with a more refined writing that added '[I will cheother while she rests Mistress. Please eat and don't worry for Mother, her magic is already solving it.]'

  It seemed as if the problem that Rossie had suffered was bigger than hers, her owh and Mana had recovered almost fully by now... Aress meter was h around 40%...It just didn't go down anymore.

  A quick che her [Library] and some [Idea] infused order "[Update: Rossie]" brought the s for Rossie's Status... She once again de to the bare minimum of health, mana, stamina, and stress. Sure enough, the numbers didn't lie.

  Status(Rossaline Singh):

  Health: 100%

  Stamina: 90%

  Mana: 0%

  Stress: 25%

  Rossie's Health was back at 100%, her stamina was also almost full...And she was better [Stress] wise...The girl had some way to keep her stress low...Maybe she would ask about it ter, perhaps she could teach her?

  But the mana was the problem...Her mana was h at 0% any time the rickled up it went down to 0% again. Something was going on there...

  She remembered some windows had a [dition] status added sometimes, mostly to inform her about the overall dition or attitude of the target of her skill. So she molded her [Will] i with [Mana] and projected the [Idea] "[Identify - dition]" while casting her skill.

  Expanded Identify:dition:

  Target currently uhe effect of several [High Grade pounded Spells]:

  [Divine Soul Mending Ressonance][Divine Life Mending Ressonance][Diminish Pain Sense][Equalize Feel][Ahesia][Funnel Mana In ][Arm][Trigger]As a side effect from the [Life & Soul mending Spells], the target is experieng rapid ge in body and soul, this could lead to huge amounts of pain. The effects of [Equalize Feel] and [Diminish Pain Sense] diminish the feeling of Pain and normalize the overall state, after this ehe effect of [Ahesia] to make sure the target: Rossie. Stays uncious.

  Sihese spells are plex and require stant use, they are being turned On and Off by the use of low-grade [Trigger] spells and fueled by the Mid-Grade Spell [Funnel Mana In]. To make sure the effects end, the caster also tied the miseous-grade spell [Arm] and it has tied it to ara [Trigger] Spell.

  "She what?" Was all Elizabeth could say while staring at the extended information she was given.

  Her friend was or had casted several plex pound spells 'Why is she using pound spells?' wohe blonde girl. But that was beside the point. Rossie had casted several high-css, mid-css, low-css, and a few miseous css Spells oer the other to manage a pseudo cure all plex manda of spells.

  If her Mother could see what this girl was achieving she might even have enough to get a spot as a future member of the [High agical Girls]...

  Nay...If she showed this to the student cil she might even jump to third grade in one go and kieo of the student cil...Perhaps even Selen could be kicked out...

  Of course, she crushed that thought after remembering what Level Selen was. But this made it clear once more that those that were touched by [Gods] and [Molded] by them were different breeds altogether. She might pass as a [Prodigy] for her use in pound spells...Even if some might think she was wasting said [Talent], but the truth was that she wasn't [Using] spellcasting more thaing] it, since her [System] was the one doing all the heavy lifting.

  Even so, it seemed as if the pink-haired girl would be unscious for quite a long time, as her blue s showed a timer that would end somewhere around midnight, probably she wao use the night to recover some mana for tomorrow.

  They didn't have anything pnned for their scouting as magical girls...Mostly to wait for some work sent their way...Or Rossie's way to be precise. Unlike [Vilins] who could do whatever they waheir work as [Magical Girls] was mostly a reactive one. And since she had Rossie as her partner...Their work would be meared toward support or rescue.

  So the blonde girl decided to close the blue s and focus on her food. She wondered if Rossie had a spell to deal with mana-drain, perhaps she did since she was mostly funneling all her mana to keep those pound spells alive... She still had her sport's drink/mana potion/soul of a p in a bottle.

  But she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to give some to Rossie...On one side this thing could try and nudge Rossie's mind into some weird mission to restore the world where her Father and Mot that [Core]...

  Oher hand...It would be an i Kiss...She blushed at the thought of that, not quite sure why. But even so, she started eating to distract herself from that.

  The food wasn't as good as those prepared by Rossie, it seemed that the little girl was worried for her [Mother], and she could feel her in the room of the pink-haired girl. She also got the feeling that a little nudge of her [Will] would allow her to [See] through the eyes of the little maid.

  But refrained from doing so, mostly to respect the privacy of Rossie...And the sanctity of a [Daughter] looking after her sick [Mother]. She wouldn't have liked it if someone could spy through her eyes while she was taking care of her Mother...

  Not that she ever o, she was half sure her Mother had already shed her mortal body and used permaly [Body Of Mana]...Thinking about that made her do a whole re-examination of that spell.

  It was supposed to ge the physical body into one of mana while saving the position aurning it to normal after ending the spell. It was expeo use for long amounts of time, she khat from experience, as she had used it for like ten seds and had emptied most of her mana reservoir.

  So that put the use of that spell to deal with her situation out...Actually how bad was it really? She didn't feel that different even though Alexanders had made a show of how he was [Fixing the bugs] and [Patg the errors] live.

  So she once again sharpened her [Will] a it into the [Idea] "[Identify - dition]" and she felt the skill suffuse her body and focus in her heart... and abdomen for some reason?

  Identify - dition:The user is currently stable ahy (Physically), there are several effects active on the user, such as:

  [Soul Ward][Mind Ward][Soulscape Isotion][Soulscape Sanctuary][Shadow Guardian][Saintsworth's Firewall]

  [M??????????????????a??????????d?????????????????????n?????????????????????????e????????????????s??????????????????????????????s??????????????????][Δ??????????????????κ???????????????????τ????????υ??????????????????????????ο???????????????? ??????????????????????Π???????????????????ρ?????????????ο?????????τ??????????????????????????????????σ??????????????ε???????????????????????????ω????????????????ν????????????]

  While some effects came from outside (Soul & Mind Ward) and have settled quite deeply in the [Soulscape] from the time they have been around, others e from tampering from the inside (Soulscape Isotion & Sanctuary). The user is advised to not mind the st ones as they have been shown to be beneficial to the user.

  The [Shadow Guardian] es from an [Artifact] the user acquired retly and seems to be w to ehe poor trol of emotions is kept at bay. And the [Saintsworth's Firewall] was created to deal with the influence designated [Madness].

  Further information oher effects requires higher [Authority] or [Research] from part of the user.

  As usual, there were a few that she couldn't get through thanks to the blurbed text, She could make up some letters that may imply the word [Madness], but that robably because she had heard about it from others and firmed some stuff in the library.

  She worried about the st one which was mostly weird characters blurred, it felt ominous not knowing what was going on. But sihe blue s spoke as if she would be able to rid herself of some of those effects...It meant that everything was removable...

  That gave her hope, if nothing else, sihat implied that she indeed could remove the influence from the [Taint]...She wouldn't be tied up by [The Madness] from a dead person. She just o find the owner of the [Shadow Guardian] that was keeping the brunt of the [Madness] away from her [Soulscape]. And maybe get a sample from said [Shadow Guardian] for Alexanders.

  She still remembered that look and smile the blonde man had given when suggestio get a sample...That was the look of a madman...Not [Madness] but the start of what [Tinkers] referred to as [The Itch]. A pseudo trahat stuck them in a loop of thinking that wouldill they finished whatever had got into their heads. It isn't something that be stopped, but it seemed that the blonde could at least dey it...

  She would o get that stupid sample, if nothing else just so that he didn't start making a tantrum inside her [Soulscape], he had implied that he could destroy parts of it... She didn't want to see what would happen if he decided to hold [Hostage] parts of her soulscape.

  Especially if that meant some of her skills would stop w as intended...She just got that [Wardrobe]!... SHE FOT TO PLAIN ABOUT THE STUPID WARDROBE!

  Ugh...

  "Might as well check that out again..." Mumbled the blonde while finishing her meal and standing from the bed. She didn't evehe ce to say anything else before a single shadon came from below the bed and took the dishes.

  He scuttled away towards the kit, presumably to it. She felt with her shadow sense how it stopped for half a sed in front of Rossie's room before carrying on.

  That was weird.

  "Okay, asshole...Hope you didn't leave another nasty surprise..." Elizabeth said mostly towards her shadow and with a flick of her will she summohe blue s again. It showed a refle of herself dressed exactly like she left it, a flick with her fingers allowed her to move the proje of her body to let her see herself in a 360°

  "Hello pretty girl ?~" Mumbled the blonde while marveling at that little feature. It showed how she looked from behind too, a point she shouldn't be able to see by herself. She tried to take a picture of her behind to pare it with the proje and sure enough...It was exactly the same.

  Was this thing using the [Shadow Seo feed it the information?

  Either way, she focused on the skill and found that the different slots represented different parts of her body, for example, she could put her obsidian bracelet near her right hand and it would create a slot for it. Move it up her arm and the slot would move with it.

  She found that she could also personalize [Loadouts], pick a few things from her wardrobe, and put them there and there would look as if she was dressed like that. She tried putting one of her school uniforms in one of them and sure enough, the picture looked like herself.

  She only o hit the [Load] button and while looking at her refle she noticed how her whole body got surrounded by that weird holographic static followed by being dressed in her school uniform...

  "Yes, this is my school uniform alright..." Said the blonde while admiring her refle, she would feel quite happy at this finding if not for a little detail that she couldn't quite ignore. "I will still kill that blonde asshole one of these days." [Decred] Elizabeth with a small flush on her face.

  While updating the loadout in the s, she had only put her outerwear and had fotten to add underwear in the s, after all...She was using underwear right now, why in the four pnes of hell would she o update that part too?

  "[Loadout 1 - Update]" Mumbled Elizabeth and sure enough she felt the feeling of wearing underwear...Like a normal person. Why would anyone want to dress in school uniform without it anyway? Only a psycho would, and of course, the stupid [Skill] made by an asshole would make her life difficult.

  Under any other circumstances she would sing praises for the iy of the skill, the versatile use, the ability to ge clothing on the go was a marvel of mana engineering... But any skill that would make her suffer this kind of social faux passes...Would be better irash!

  Or would do with some updates to be more useful.

  "Time to return to a more fortable setting..." Said the blonde while she went ahead and prepared to cli [Undress]...Only to stop a timeter short and think again. She instead made another [Loadout] a it pre-programmed to cycle several different pajamas and clicked on that.

  She wouldn't allow herself to be naked by a stupid skill!

  She would, however, test that fun ihroom befoing to shower at the night. For now, she would instead go bad search where the skill would send the used clothing, she still o see if it would categorize the used clothes as dirty or if she would o go and search them one by one.

  Funny how some would think she was zy by using a skill to dress...Only to not know how much preparation was needed, and how much maintenance was needed just to be able to afford this kind of luxury. Trully...No one could ever uand how much work was o allow the lifestyle she wanted. Now with that out of the way and some [Loadouts] made up with some clothes, she went back to the bed.

  She hadn't done mu the end...Besides sleeping and preparing some [Loadouts], her clothes were now mostly in the [Wardrobe] and they all had the setting to adjust to her body ges...But only to dramatic body ges, the clothes would not ge if these ges were slow.

  She hat warning if she started to gai, so with that out of the way she looked at her skill list.

  The warning of the blonde asshole had hit close to home, it reminded her that some of the skills she was taking franted were [Borrowed] just like how some people used [Artifacts] to have access to...She did the same but from her [Soulscape]. Did that mean that inside her [Soulscape] was an [Artifact]?

  Now the important question was...What of here was [Borrowed] at the very least [Identify] and [Status] was on that list... Perhaps some of her [Mana Attuned] was on it too?

  She liked to think that she had awakeo the [Mana] since she looked more like her Mother than her Father. But the way she used [Spells] and the way her Mother did...Wasn't the same, she relied too mu her [System]...

  She would o try and see if there was a way to find out what [Skills] were truly hers, and what was [Loaned]. Would Alexanders even answer if she asked him about it?

  She wasn't sure...But now that she had done everything that o be done she would go bad sleep. How many times had she thought about just doing that today? Four? Five?

  It felt as if she was going in a circle trying to do something and failing at it. Maybe it was the mana drain...Maybe it was the stamina drain...Maybe was it her [Stress]?

  Somehoressing feeling bleed over to her, where was that ing from? She would think about that tomorrow. If nothing else, tomorrow would be moved enough that she would have no time to feel depressed about whatever it was that was bleeding to her.
