Chapter 41 – I want to become a person like you
```
[In the seventh year of the simulation, at 21, you continue to advance on the path of an Elite Mage, with both your mental strength and magical power increasing. Your hidden strength is awe-inspiring.]
[On the first day of the new year, you notice the witch seems more "human" than usual.]
[You feel both gratified and regretful.]
[Gratified because the witch's damaged heart still holds the possibility of repair.]

[Regretful because the difficulty of repair is hellish; after two months of effort, you've only managed to cause a slight fluctuation in the witch.]
[Fortunately, you've successfully saved the witch's body, which was on the brink of collapse.]
[Through your treatment and two months of nutritional supplementation, the witch's frail body gradually returns to a normal state, no longer just skin and bones.]
[Spring leaves sprout, and the earth revives.]
[A new spring arrives.]
[Your life follows a routine, cycling between meditating to enhance mental strength, researching new magic, and teaching Krisa.]
[Only on rare occasions do you visit the Mage Association in the city center to purchase Transcendent Materials and gather intelligence. You hear the unsurprising news that the border's foreign races have been repelled by the Church of the Deities.]
[You return home to continue your magical research.]
[You begin to explore and ponder how to further cultivate the witch, so that even if she leaves you, she can survive safely in this world.]
The winter snow melts, and spring bursts forth.
The snow that once buried Allenson City has completely disappeared.
Bright spring light pours freely, with brilliant sunbeams cascading from the sky, touching everything and everyone in need of sunlight, including the withered trees at the edge of the courtyard, which silently sprout new buds.
Xu Xi sits at the courtyard entrance.
The archway above forms a natural shelter.
It shields Xu Xi from the sunlight, casting a cool shadow.
"The first step in cultivating Krisa is to help her gain the ability to protect herself. This goal is almost achieved; in another six months, Krisa will advance to an Official Mage."
"An Official Mage can learn Level 1-3 Magic. Unless a higher-level mage intervenes, with Krisa's talent, she is nearly invincible among her peers."
"Ordinary people are even less of a concern; even now, Krisa can handle them with ease."
"So, it's time to prepare for the second step."
In the shadow beneath the archway.
Xu Xi holds a thick magic book, eyes slightly closed in contemplation.
To give Krisa an independent personality, so she can live strongly on her own after the simulation ends, without being despised or hunted by others, preparations must be made in advance.
Some issues need to be addressed early.
For instance, Krisa's Demon Race bloodline.
Objectively speaking, Krisa is gentle and obedient, never intending to harm others, feeling uneasy even when approaching strangers, let alone causing harm.
But.
This world is irrational.
Deities rule the land, and the Church is their eyes and ears.
In this world where everyone worships the deities and views the Demon Race as enemies, any association with the Demon Race marks one as an enemy.
Krisa's integration into human society is nearly impossible.
Unless—
"Her strength is overwhelming enough to suppress all dissent, or others believe Krisa has no connection to the Demon Race."
Xu Xi murmurs.
The former is too difficult to achieve; even in this smooth life, Xu Xi has no confidence in becoming a deity, let alone overpowering all deities.
As for the latter, there is a certain feasibility.
"This world's method of identifying the Demon Race is surprisingly primitive and simplistic."
"Initially, I thought there would be searches and identifications targeting the soul, bloodline, or even concepts."
"But from the information I've reviewed recently, whether it's the Mage Association or the Church of the Deities, their method of identifying the Demon Race is based on appearance."
"In other words, as long as I can conceal Krisa's Demon Race traits, she can appear openly."
"And previously, there has never been an example of a Demon Race member mastering magic."
"Even if suspected, Krisa can use magic to prove her innocence."
Xu Xi ponders.
He finds this quite feasible.
Of course, he's not foolish enough to think such concealment can deceive the heavens and cross the sea.
Even if it fools humans, it certainly won't fool the lofty deities.
But Xu Xi's requirements aren't high.
He just wants Krisa to be able to move around outside, to interact with more people and things, so her fragile and sensitive heart doesn't become indecisive as soon as she leaves him.
Therefore, as long as Krisa's activity range is limited, the chance of being discovered can be reduced.
"Let's ask the child's opinion."
...
[In the seventh year of the simulation, spring]
[The witch's power grows stronger. To solve the issue of the witch being discovered, you begin to think about how to hide the witch's bloodline traits.]
[You ask Krisa for her opinion. If she insists on not hiding, you will respect her choice, but her answer surprises you.]
["I want to, want to become like the mentor."]
[It's not that she wants to become human herself, but because you are human, the witch wants to become human too.]
[In the seventh year of the simulation, summer]
[Krisa's realm breaks through, enhancing her mental strength through continuous meditation, reaching the standard for an Official Mage.]
[Your witch advances to an Official Mage.]
[In the seventh year of the simulation, autumn]
[Through continuous research of ancient texts and self-study of life-attribute magic, you devise a method to effectively hide Demon Race traits.]
[You call the witch to the Meditation Chamber, in this place where only the two of you are present, to begin the secret operation to hide the Demon Race traits.]
Krisa's Demon Race traits are not many.
She has neither large wings nor a long tail.
From this perspective.
Xu Xi is quite lucky.
Because this means he only needs to deal with the horns on Krisa's head and some scales on the surface of her skin. Once done, Krisa can have a normal human appearance.
"Hope everything goes smoothly."
In the slightly dim Meditation Chamber, it's cool and silent, eerily resembling a place of cult rituals.
"Click."
Xu Xi turns off the underpowered steam lamp, instead using magic to gather light to illuminate the space.
Not far from him.
Lies Krisa, calmly on the stone slab.
"Krisa, it might hurt a bit next."
"I trust the mentor."
Her pale golden eyes show no emotional fluctuation, but through that emptiness, trust can be felt.
The operation begins.
[You use Wind Magic to form a Wind Blade with strong cutting power, meticulously grinding down the remnants of the girl's horns, leaving only the part connected to nerves, hidden within her hair.]
[You use Level 3 Magic: Earth Shaping.]
[You use Level 4 Magic: Water Isolation.]
[You use Level 4 Magic: Fire Isolation.]
[You use Level 5 Magic: Life Mimicry.]
[You exchange for high-quality shapeshifter slime from the Mage Association, molding it to the color of human skin, slowly applying it to the witch's scales, hiding them with exquisite technique.]
[Moreover, you grant the shapeshifter slime water and fire resistance and life properties, so it won't easily fall off and resembles human skin more closely.]
[Your disguise experiment is very successful.]
[From the outside, Krisa no longer has any Demon Race traits.]
