Year 5009 after the system day 5 of the sun season inside the dojo.

'Two days ago I had a visit from Ming and Momo, by now they should have probably arrived near sister. I wonder if they'll test her too...'

'Just hope they won't get themselves killed, knowing Aurora...' I gulp reminding me of certain aspects of her.

'Since I approved of them, and made sure they'd tell her about it, they should be alright.'

'Even though I wasn't expecting Momo's words, her skill sure says the strangest things, I wonder if he works like appraisal or what's behind it.'

'Once I awaken... she said I might bring a catastrophe into this world if I became a bad witch, didn't specify my class, meaning it has to do with something or someone else.'

'Perhaps a being who went through a similar way as I did with my classes, but it doesn't matter, my path is my own to take and I shall do what I desire for the best of everyone. Well, at least those whom I feel are worthy.'

As I spend a while practicing my swordsmanship once more increase the bases someone gets my attention.

"Iris? Are you here?" A man walks inside the dojo looking around meeting me shortly.

"Hello Omar, it's been a while," I smile happily at him while waving my sword downwards.

"That movement... feels a bit better than last time."

"Really? I've been trying really hard!"

"That's great Iris, become strong, one step at a time."

"Did you need anything, coming all the way here after so long?"

"I went into some of the dark forces hideouts looking at different artifacts and I found something peculiar, but unsure if it'll be of help."

"An item? What is it?" I place the wooden sword on the ground softly and then walk to him who is a few steps further away close to the door.

He places his hand inside the magic bag and pulls out what looks like a string with a black jewel, and then extends it towards me.

"Have a look for yourself, though be careful as the necklace is very old, one of the ancient equipment pieces we have in our possession."

"Surprised they even let you bring it," I stare at him without touching.

"Well, the majority of the five leaders decided to vote in favor to keep you alive, and seeing where you'd lead us. For that reason, despite the ones who hold the treasures being the ones who voted no, they still allowed me to bring you this. Supposedly it should help against corruption, but I'm not entirely sure of its effects."

I consent with a nod and extend my left hand at it," appraise it," upon hearing my words Omar's eyebrow raises making a confused expression as he sees mana flowing on my hand.

Notice: 300 mana has been deducted.

[Obsidian Necklace: 10 magic defense. Brainwash Effect may change the user's mind or protect it. Durability 200/200 Rank Unique Accessory.]

"This!?" I make a surprised expression startling Omar who wasn't expecting me to raise my voice.

"What is wrong kid?"

"The necklace can both change the wearer's mind or keep it safe, in other words, it has two effects to it."

"Sounds like a no-go then, guess I'll keep looking into some other items."

"Not at all Omar, this item is just perfect for me."

"How so? Won't it just bring more corruption?"

"Generally it would, but... I need to develop myself further and I believe this is a good chance, behold Omar, skill cursing objects," I aim at the necklace in front of me.

As soon as my usual blue aura starts becoming pitch-black Omar lets go of the necklace making it float in the air with my aura that surrounds it.

I then close my eyes and start imagining a certain effect it could have instead.

After a while passes my aura returns blue and the necklace falls into Omar's hands who grabbed it no longer feeling fear, as the ominous part of me was gone.

"Let's see if it worked, appraise it once more."

Notice: 300 mana has been deducted.

[Obsidian Necklace: Brainwash Effect increases the resistance against mental attacks, and while equipped brainwashing effect on others will be stronger by 1%. Durability 150/150 Rank Cursed Accessory.]

"Seems like I'll have to improve this skill, but it worked, now it gives brainwash effect and a little boost to one of my skills."

"You were able to change the item effect!?" He looks at me like I did something impossible.

"Yes, the item was unique grade so I changed it to cursed, by adding a type of curse which had a similar effect to the original one, though it lost the magic defense and one-fourth of the durability, at least like this, it becomes useful for me."

"To you and any other, having such a resistance... you have no clue how expensive this item could be sold for, even a king would want to buy it. Though the royal family has absurdly good items to protect themselves, as well as the selected guards who sense the magic being used by others."

"Since they sense it, they can kill the caster, so brainwashing them or something wouldn't work, though what about a ritual done from far away? Perhaps... hitting the entire castle."

"Something like that would take who knows how long and an absurd amount of mana, it's just not practical Iris."

"Even if you joined a lot of witches under the same circle?"

"Circle? Witches act alone, be it in their curses or their rituals, it is known different levels of rituals would cause confusion between two different witches."

'Oh my goodness...' I start remembering about the adorable witch status, and how everything was equal to my own making me place a hand in front of my mouth.

'It's not that the ritual can't work, but the witches need to be completely aligned, in other words, if it were me... maybe I could make such a catastrophe. I would still need large quantities of mana which by no means I have, but maybe I can find some rituals that need less or other options...'

"Well Iris, feel free to take the necklace, shall I put it around you? You've already changed it and all so..."

"Yes please do," I turn around facing the opposite side of Omar, and then feel the cold obsidian touch the warmth of my skin in the front giving me the chills, eventually I hear some sort of click sound, and I stop feeling the fingers of Omar, instead my hair waves downwards naturally.

"Your hair seems to grow pretty fast now that I'm taking a closer look at it... in fact... come here and put your back on the wall."

I do as Omar says and then with a knife that he takes from one of the sheaths in the belt around his waist, raising it a bit above my head level and making a cut on the wooden wall.

"Like this, your height has been marked, for a nine-year-old, you're tall enough, but from the last time... well never mind, I'll know soon enough if I'm right or not."

'Could he be talking about my cursed skill endless growth? I do believe it said a faster growth of the body would happen. I guess it'll make me mature faster? How fast? Probably not at a speed my body cannot keep, so it should be fine, and I'll be able to have my hair length back in no time.'

I smile brightly taking a few steps forward creating some distance from Omar who remains staring silently.

'My mind is fully clear now, the necklace sustained some permanent damage, however, is proving useful. I should still be careful and keep maximizing the brainwash resistance, status how much level do I have currently?'

Brainwash Resistance level 110(?)

'It already increased ten levels since I increased it? I hope at some point the corruption will reduce and disappear.'

"I'll be around, if you need anything just shout, also where is the old man? Shouldn't he be teaching you?"

"He's either at home drinking or outside doing it. The only way Ray will teach me anything is after my base grows enough, whatever that implies."

"In that case, I'm pretty sure it won't take long, after all, by some reason you seem to be growing nicely. Just take your time increasing your skills levels, once you start maximizing them, you'll be able to focus on other ones. Eventually or at least ideally you'll have everything maxed in no time."

"I suppose so..." I face him watching as he leaves closing the dojo door.

'Unless you can increase the level of all the skills, in other words, I can't really max anything. Kind of like my mirror skill that just goes to random levels as it pleases. Does it even have a max level? The last time I appraised it didn't work so well... cursed skills truly are nasty. I'll have to be careful about how I handle them. For now, I'll do my best to increase every skill to at least 100, status.'
