?Chapter 1225:


    The crowd stirred, eyes wide, faces glowing with awe. It wasn’t just good. It was legendary. How could she be this good?


    They finally understood. The gap between Christina and any of them was massive.


    Suddenly, Magnus calling her his mentor didn’t seem crazy at all—it made perfect sense.


    If they could, they’d all be lining up to be her students too. Her technique was wless. Refined. Everything they had ever dreamed of mastering was right there in front of them.


    The same people who had doubted her for her age just moments ago now stood frozen in ce—silent, stunned, and watching her every move like it was sacred, hoping to learn anything they could.

    The three elders stood there, jaws dropped, frozen.


    They couldn’t tear their eyes away from Christina as she worked her magic on the mural. Was this some kind of trick?


    How could a trick feel so vivid, so real?


    They could hardly wrap their heads around it—a young woman’s restoration skills leaving them in the dust, miles behind. For a fleeting moment, it felt as if their decades of work were all for naught, like they had been chasing shadows their whole lives.


    They had always prided themselves on being the cream of the restoration crop, but next to Christina, they were nothing.


    They weren’t even ying in the same ballpark.


    Magnus couldn’t help but grin, soaking in their stunned expressions.


    ???????????????? ?????????????? ????????: g??????????????﹒??????


    Hadn’t those three just been throwing shade at Christina? Now they were eating their words.


    One minute they were sneering at her, the next they were realizing she was light-years ahead.


    “So?” Magnus cocked an eyebrow at the trio, practically bursting with pride. “Still think she’s full of hot air?”


    The elders snapped out of their daze, faces red as beets, wishing the ground would swallow them whole. One of them muttered, “I was dead wrong to doubt her.”


    Magnus smirked and pressed on. “Still think it’s ridiculous?”


    The elder shook his head fast. “Not at all. We’re the ones who’ve been blind.”


    Magnus wasn’t done. “Still think I’m just talking her up for her career?”


    The elder sighed. “We were fools. If anything, it would have to be the other way around.”


    Seeing the elders squirm with regret, Magnus felt like he’d won the lottery.
