[Congratulations, Host, you've received 100 Magic Coins] 

[Congratulations, Host, you've received the item: Magic Necklace]

[Congratulations, Host, you've received: A Basic Magic Book]

[Congratulations, Host, you've received the skill: Business Mastery (Max Level)]

[Congratulations, Host, you've received the skill: Magic Devour (Beginner)]

[Congratulations, Host, Master, you've received the special skill: Charisma]

'So many things!'

He felt a surge of joy in his heart. 

This was so hard to get, and he had been waiting for this day for seven years.

He didn't worry about the magic coins for now and first took out the Magic Necklace.

It was an exquisite necklace, entirely blue in color. He wasn't sure what material it was made of, but a diamond-shaped crystal was in the center. 

He didn't know what it was for, but the texture felt quite good.

Looking at the necklace, a line of text suddenly appeared before El's eyes.

[Magic Necklace: This restores four magical energy per minute.]

He nodded in understanding after seeing it. He had already had a guess when he first saw the name, and sure enough, it was an item that restored magic power. 

After securing and hiding the necklace, El didn't pay attention to the remaining rewards. 

Elsa was still in danger. 

Even though his conversation with Joi seemed to take a long time, it had only been a few seconds in real life, but he was still worried.

'Joi! Do you have any ideas?' 

He didn't know what to do. 

He hadn't even started recovering magic energy yet and wasn't sure what to do.

[Host, are you silly? I already gave you the solution earlier.]

"Huh?" 

Hearing Joi, El quickly checked the items that had just been opened. 

''Mm? Magic Devour? Could it be this?'

He took a closer look and discovered this skill. He quickly checked the description of the skill and soon broke into a smile. 

'This would work.'

[Magic Devour (Beginner) – The host can absorb the opponent's magic power for a short period of time and store it, which the host can use that magic for themselves. However, it cannot absorb magic from an opponent that is significantly stronger than the host. ]

[Cooldown: 1 day.]

Afterward, El slowly approached Elsa, and the uncontrollable magic surged toward him immediately.

'Magic Devour!'

He shouted in his mind, and his face turned slightly pale. 

Since his magic power hadn't recovered yet, the uncontrollable energy was still a bit too much for him. 

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint blue light suddenly enveloped him, and the discomfort disappeared completely.

Then, the surge of energy charged straight at him, but the faint blue light around him blocked it and gradually faded away. 

He only felt like something had been added inside him. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was probably the energy from just now.

"Phew~ It's finally somewhat useful!" 

He breathed a sigh of relief and could finally relax.

"Luckily, nothing serious, just a huge energy drain." 

El picked her up and examined her condition. He found that she was just really tired, but she'd be okay.

"Little El, how is it? Elsa is okay, right?"

At this moment, Queen Iduna rushed over, holding Anna in her arms. She looked at him, who was carrying Elsa, and spoke.

"It's fine. She just fainted from excessive magic consumption. A good sleep will fix it." 

El explained the situation to Queen Iduna, not wanting her to worry too much.

"That's good to hear. You three little troublemakers! If the night guards hadn't found you, who knows what could have happened! There's not gonna be a next time, okay?!" 

Queen Iduna said to him. She had been really scared tonight, but luckily, everything turned out fine.

"Mm, I understand." 

El nodded to show he understood. 

...

"Ha~"

"Finally back." 

El returned to his room and let out a breath. 

Just now, Queen Iduna had asked him to help carry Elsa and Anna back to Elsa's room. 

Since it was his first time in Elsa's room, El curiously took a few extra glances and immediately returned to his own room. 

El, exhausted, collapsed onto his bed. 

The little white cat, Ellie, was sleeping soundly. 

King Agnarr was still dealing with related matters, and the two little girls were still unconscious, with Queen Iduna staying behind to take care of them.

Finally, El could rest for a while after everything that had happened tonight.

A book suddenly appeared in El's hand. It looked simple, with the words "Basic Magic" written on the cover.

[Host, would you like to learn from this book?]

Joi's voice echoed in his mind again.

"Obviously, yes!" 

He answered without hesitation. He thought he would have to study it himself, but wouldn't it be great to learn it directly?

[Alright!]

In an instant, a vast amount of basic magical knowledge flooded his mind, allowing him to instantly understand various magical principles.

"So this is basic magic? The five basic elements?" 

After absorbing the knowledge, El muttered to himself.

He originally only knew ice magic, but now, everything had been filled with the other types at once.

He tried out the methods he had learned and found that his ice magic was slightly more powerful now. 

As for the other four elements? He'd take it slow.

[Business Mastery (Max Level) – The host can become extremely wealthy very quickly and easily and perform feats such as always developing ideas to generate profits, making the right choice when it comes to making money]

'This is good. I could instantly rich with this one.'

After reading the explanation, El realized that his body hadn't changed.

Then, he turned his attention to the last skill.

[Charisma (Passive): The host has unnaturally high charisma, or charm, enabling them to lead, charm, persuade, inspire, or influence people.]

After seeing the skill, El grabbed the mirror from the nightstand and looked at himself. 

He looked just the same as before, but somehow, his face had a little extra charm.

It felt like his presence was more pleasant, as if it made people feel good and instantly like him.

'Ugh! This darn… charm I can't do anything about!'

El touched his face and suddenly laughed.

[Tch! So full of yourself.] 

Joi couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.
