Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 248: Awakening Second Bloodline

Eleanor regained consciousness shortly after she had been brought to the healer’s pavilion. The healer on night

duty examined her and found nothing amiss. Her body bore no visible injuries.

Hearing that, Professor Sylpha finally allowed herself a breath of relief, though her voice carried a trace of

annoyance.

"| told you not to reach for powers beyond your limit. But you never learn to keep your greed in check. Well then,

what happened? Did you receive your item?"

Eleanor managed a faint smile. "Believe me, Professor, | wasn’t tempted by power. | chose what seemed like a

rather ordinary one. But | was sent into a trial with a very difficult riddle. | becso invested in solving it that |

overexerted myself."

The professor regarded her impassively. "Fine, fine. At least you succeeded in receiving your gift. Stay here for

the night. The healers will examine you again in the morning, and you'll go directly to homeroom after that."

"Thank you, Professor," Eleanor said sincerely.

Once the professor had left, Eleanor lay back on the bed, her thoughts drifting towards what had happened.

"I didn’t receive a weapon or tool," she mused silently, "but the power | gained might be far more useful. Nora, |

remember seeing skind of system window. Can you bring it up for me?"

"No, Master," Nora replied gently. "It was an information window that appeared only at that moment. | did not

see it directly... | found it through your memory. But | can recreate a copy for you. | also examined your third eye.

There really is an eye hidden beneath the skin of your forehead. It lacks lashes or any outer features... it is only

an eye. But | cannot probe it further; an energy field surrounding it blocks my scan."

Eleanor took the revelation in stride. "Alright, then. Showthe window."

A translucent panel shimmered into view before her mind's eye:

[Eye of Wisdom / Odin’s Eye]

Level 1: When opened, it eliminates ignorance, illusion, and desire, leading to complete freedom from worldly

attachment.

Level 2: Locked.

Level 3: Locked.

Level 4: Locked.

Level 5: Locked.

Level 6: Locked.

Level 7: Locked.

Level 8: Locked.

Level 9: Locked.

[To unlock the next level, master the previous one.]

Eleanor read the words carefully. "When opened, it eliminates ignorance, illusion, and desire, leading to complete

freedom from worldly attachment. That's an incredible power, even for level one. I'm not sure what complete

freedom means yet, but | suppose it must relate to detachment from desires and illusions. I'll need practice to

truly understand it."

"Yes," Nora agreed. "Only by practice can you master the first level, and only through mastery will the second

reveal itself."

Eleanor nodded to herself. "Then I'll practise in my spare time. I'm eager to see what awaits at level two. But for

now... I need rest. I'm exhausted."

Eleanor’s routine settled into a steady rhythm over the next few days. Each morning began with mandatory

physical training for the cadets, followed by breakfast. After that ceither Basics of Cultivation or Introduction

to Supernatural Ethics & Law... the two subjects alternating every other day. Then she would attend either

Fundamentals of Psionics or Wilderness Survival, before heading to the School of Mixed Martial Arts for training

under Instructor Arrichion until she was utterly exhausted.

Only then was she granted a rare period of rest before mandatory outdoor play, during which she always joined

the basketball games, as Arrichion had advised. After the evening tea session, she would spend twith her

friends, either discussing lessons or gossiping in the dormitory commons. Dinner was compulsory, and only after

that could she finally retreat to her room for private study.

Nora, ever efficient, had combed through the academy's central server and compiled a treasure trove of books.

When Eleanor finally examined what her companion had gathered, the sheer scale of it left her dizzy. She had

not stumbled upon a mere collection of reading materials... she had opened the gates to the entire intellectual

heartbeat of the Ascendance Academy of Midgard.

There were thousands of volumes, each one a doorway into a power she had barely dared to dream of. The

subjects spanned countless disciplines, and she would have been a fool to ignore them. The only drawback was

Nora's limited storage capacity when disconnected from the central server. Eleanor could not simply hoard the

texts... she had to absorb them. Fortunately, her eidetic memory meant that once read, a book was hers forever.

The catalogue was staggering. Foundational texts included The Primer on Energy Manipulation and Pathways to

Awakening: A Guide for the Uninitiated, alongside dense theoretical works on cultivation such as The Stabilised

Core and Meditations on the Saint Threshold.

The largest section was dedicated to elemental abilities. Scrolls and manuals for every conceivable force of

nature drifted through her reach... Fire Weaving: From Ember to Inferno, The Fluid Mind: Advanced Hydromancy,

Speaking to the Stone: Earth Affinity for Beginners... alongside treatises on shadow-walking, light-forging, and

the perilous art of lightning channelling.

Another vast category was practical crafts. There were intricate alchemical guides, like The Celestial Pill:

Formulas for Core Purification and Venom & Antidote: The Naga’s Apothecary. Next cshelves of works on

artifice, from Tempering Spiritual-Alloys to Rune Engraving for Sentient Weaponry.

Combat manuals abounded as well, each tailored for different races and body types: The Whirling Spear: A

Merfolk’s Guide, Claw and Fang: Close-Quarters Combat for Shifters, and Sonic Disruption: Banshee Battle

Cantos.

Then there were the hidden files. Nora, persistent as ever, had cracked several layers of encryption to reveal

them. The titles alone chilled Eleanor’s blood: Project Chimera: Hybrid Core Viability, The Culling: Efficiency

Metrics, and one ominously sparse entry named simply The Celestial Mandate.

Twas short, and Eleanor knew she could not count on always having access to the academy's server. So, she

abandoned all distractions. She stopped joining her peers on excursions around the campus, skipped

opportunities to socialise, and even forsook trips to the library itself. Every spare moment was dedicated to

study, entire Fridays... official rest days at the academy included.

She had already read the books directly connected to her chosen courses for the term. Now, her restless mind

wandered into other fields, hungering for more.

Fifteen days passed in this manner. Eleanor followed her routine diligently, and all her professors and instructors

were pleased with her progress. She had studied her courses thoroughly and could even shatter an iron dummy

with a single strike.

On her sixteenth day at the academy, as Instructor Arrichion had foretold, the cadets were scheduled to visit the

Bloodline Institute. They were summoned according to their cadet numbers, ten at a time, while the others

remained in the dormitories.

When Eleanor’s turn came, she was led into a small room furnished with a medical bed. It resembled a modern

hospital cabin, complete with softly beeping machines and gleaming equipment. A white-robed official, a fairy

woman, awaited her inside.

After scanning her device, the

Eleanor had been prepared for this question. Instructor Arrichion had already briefed her.

"I have commissioned a bloodline enhancement potion from the Faculty of Arcane Herbalism and Potioncraft...

specifically from Professor Charles Scott Sherrington. | haven't had tto ask about its progress. Could you

Eleanor understood immediately. So, it had not been negligence on the professor's part. She nodded. "In that

case, | will awaken my dormant bloodline now, and enhance it later."

"Good choice. But remember... sometimes having multiple bloodlines creates conflict if you cannot control them

properly. One strong bloodline is better than several weak ones."

"I understand," Eleanor replied with confidence. "But | still wish to awaken it."

"Very well. Lie down on the bed," said the woman.

Eleanor obeyed. As she lay back, straps secured her wrists and ankles to the bed. The sudden restraint made her

feel vulnerable, yet she held her tongue, allowing the official to proceed.

The woman drew a cord from one of the machines and fixed it to Eleanor’s wrist. It pierced her artery with a

sharp sting. She then took a syringe, drew a vial of Eleanor’s blood, and stored it in another machine.

Finally, she lifted a helmet from the side table and fitted it over Eleanor’s head. Wires linked it to another

apparatus, which hummed faintly with power.

She screamed despite controlling herself... and then the world went dark.
