It was evening, and Jaune was heading to bed, which he was going to tell Nora, Lei, and Pyrrha, but they were occupied, along with Illya.
Nora, Lei, and Pyrrha spent time with the older Arc sisters, while Illya spent time with the younger Arc sisters, which left Jaune with the parents and grandparents, including Epimetheus and Vulcan. They were all enjoying themselves, so Jaune did not want to interrupt. This was a great bonding time for them.
Hence, Jaune headed to his room and entered the Dreamscape. There were things to do in the Dreamscape, such as finding the Zombie Overlord III. He knew that thing was still around. He could feel it. The other thing that he has been doing is experimenting with Magic.
The thing is, Jaune is trying to recreate all the incredible magic that he read in comic books. One of his favorites now is teleporting as he wants to visit the others.
Jaune was looking through the Ultimate Sorcery he got. It gave him knowledge of magic theories. When used correctly, it would be able to challenge Gods. Though, he was not interested in that right now. He still wants to create a teleport spell.
Attempt after attempt was nothing more than failure. Until he succeeded.
Jaune was laughing like a maniac, saying, "Yes! Finally! I was able to create it! This is cool! But there is no time to waste! I still have so many spells I want to recreate. Let's see… when it comes to the basic elemental spells, I don't have any problems. I can cast them easily with a single thought, and with [Adjustment], I can control how powerful it is. Spells outside the elemental spells are the ones I need to focus on."
For spells to create, Jaune was thinking of [Concealment], [Barrier], [Flight], [Telepathy], [Full Heal], and many others that he currently couldn't think of.
Hours later, Jaune was tired of creating magic spells and thought of going out for a walk. He needs to stretch his limbs. The only spells he made were:
[Extreme Concealment: The ability to conceal your presence. Become one with the World itself. However, the moment you attack, concealment would be canceled until reengaged]
[Wings of Wind: Wings made of wind. It can allow the user to accelerate at Mach speeds]
[Telepathy: The power to receive and transmit information with one's mind]
You see, Jaune did not want to walk. He wanted to test out Wings of Wind.
On the 30th floor of the dungeon, which Ruby and the others could not enter yet, Jaune was in the air sniping the monsters. It was too easy. He quickly killed hundreds of monsters with the [Wings of Wind] and [Formless Bow]. There was no stopping him since he was using [Extreme Concealment].
Jaune sighed. He was killing the monster quickly, but picking up all the drop items took him time. It was a hassle. This gave him the idea to create a spell that would grab all the item drops for him.
A few things caught Jaune's eyes, looking through all the drop items. They were a crown and a few crystals.
[Loop of Binding: Sacred objects used primarily by extremely powerful gods and demons to control and seal their powers or those of others. It has also been seen that they have been used by some humans. Equipping would cause all stats to drop to 10, except for Intelligence]
[Beast Soul Crystal: A crystal containing the soul of a Beast. They are as strong as the ones that manifest them. A Special spell is required to use. Soul Contained: Nine-Tails]
Jaune was not excited about the [Loop of Binding]. It did not interest him. However, the Beast Soul Crystal did. A unique spell is required? Then, the Ultimate Sorcery showed Jaune what he needed to use the [Beast Soul Crystal].
Jaune was smiling, saying, "Oh! This is interesting! It's like having a summoned familiar! But to use it, I need to learn [Beast Manifestation. But that's not all. I can take the characteristics of the soul inside the crystal with the [Beast Takeover] spell. This is so cool!"
Jaune sat down where he knew he would be safe. He wanted to study the spell theory for [Beast Manifestation] and [Beast Takeover]. It was then that Jaune heard the voice again.
[Beep! Loop of Binding is detected. This is an excellent opportunity to get stronger. Equip the Loop of Binding and gain immense return]
Jaune raised an eyebrow. He did not want to use the Loop of binding for a reason. He did not want to go back to being a weakling. What could be amazing enough that he would weaken himself?
As if the voice heard his thoughts.
[Beep! If the [Loop of Binding] were equipped, one could slowly absorb the Divine power left within it. Once the [Loop of Binding] is used, the user cannot remove it for a year as the Divine Energy is absorbed. However, the level of sealing can be changed. There are 8 Levels of sealing]
Jaune was thinking about it. He was shocked that the [Loop of Binding] had Divine Energy inside it. This is astonishing. However, he cannot remove the [Loop of Binding] for a year. But he could control the level of how much his stats are sealed.
Jaune asked, "Can you elaborate more on the level of sealing?"
[Beep!
Level 1: Initial Sealing. Ten stats points on all sealed stats.
Level 2: 10% of all sealed stats are released.
Level 3: 15% of all sealed stats are released.
Level 4: 20% of all sealed stats are released.
Level 5: 25% of all sealed stats are released.
Level 6: 27% of all sealed stats are released.
Level 7: 29% of all sealed stats are released.
Level 8: 30% of all sealed stats are released.]
Jaune was shocked that he would only be able to release a maximum of 30% stats for a year! But he remained calm. He asked, "Will I be able to continue leveling up and adding BP to my stats?"
[Beep! Stats and Level increase will not be affected]
Jaune nodded. That was good, but he had an important question, "What exactly is Divine Energy capable of?"
[Beep! Divine Energy is energy belonging to a God. 1 unit of Divine Energy is equivalent to a million Mana units. But its true purpose is different. Divine Energy could be used to perform miracles. For example, using ten units of Divine Energy could be used to create Extreme Magic Circuits for your friends]
'Wow! Thought Jaune. He had no words for that. But he couldn't help but ask, "How big is the difference between Extreme Magic Circuit and Supreme Magic Circuit?"
[Beep! The order of Magic Circuit Qualities are [Scrap], [Common], [Uncommon], [Rare], [Epic], [Extreme], [Legendary], [Transcendent], [Mythical], [Demi-God], [God/Supreme]. [Extreme Magic Circuits] is in the middle of the fray]
Jaune thought the [Extreme Magic Circuit] might not be that high on the list, but he was wrong. It might not be quite the top quality, but it was amazing! However, Jaune asked the voice, "Will there be a chance for me to get Magic Circuits as a drop?"
[Beep! Magic Circuits cannot be obtained as a drop]
Jaune sighed. He did say he would help the others gain magic. This is the only way if he could not get it as a drop. Only 30% of stats in the next year? It wasn't that bad. Plus, the more he levels up, the more stats he will gain, increasing what the 30% could do. Also, he has incredible weapons that could help him when needed.
Jaune then realized something, "Hold on. If you can't get Magic Circuits as a drop, how did I get it?"
[Beep! One, you got your Magic Circuit as a reward for your evolution. Two, Supreme Magic Circuit is in a league of its own. While other Magic Circuits would evaporate after leaving the body after some time, Supreme Magic Circuits do not. It is the reason higher beings highly covet it]
Enough thinking, Jaune decided to don the [Loop of Binding]. The moment he did, he left all the strength in his body disappear. It was like he was back to square one. To see what he was capable of, he tested Ultra Instinct. He thought he would be strained, but that was not the case.
Jaune looked over his body and smiled, "Okay! [Ultra Instinct] seems to ignore the [Loop of Binding]. This would be my current trump card."
Before finishing the day, Jaune decided to allocate all his BP.
[Jaune Arc
Occupation: None, Level: 100, Race: Human I (Transcendent Species)
Mana: 15500(10), Attack: 20500(10), Defense: 15500(10),

In Menagerie, Blake was facepalming. She was watching as her Dad chased Sun around. There was a massive misunderstanding. Ghira Belladonna thought Sun was Blake's boyfriend.
As Sun got hit by Ghira, Blake shouted, "Dad! Sun is not my boyfriend! Not in a million years!"
Sun, who was being pummeled, said, "Ouch! Blake. That hurts more than your Dad's punches."
Ghira stopped hitting Sun, but his anger at whomever his daughter's boyfriend was did not wane. He said, "If this guy is not your boyfriend, why did he come home with you?"
Blake sighed and replied, "He followed me here."
Ghira did not like that. He pummeled Sun for being his daughter's stalker. This is worse than a boyfriend.
On the rooftop, the other figure following Blake was watching the entire thing.
