Not long after,
As she stared the results in front of her, a faint smile appeared on the face of Beatrice, who had just finished testing her Mana and Spiritual power.
Mana : 78.6753
Spiritual Power : 75.4
After becoming a peak mage apprentice, Beatrice's spiritual power, which had temporarily flat lined, had once again grown by over five points, up from just 70.02.
But at this moment, Beatrice did not focus on the spiritual power, rather, she paid much more attention to her mana.
"My mana is a bit higher than the last time," mumbled Beatrice as she looked the numbers on the piece of paper in her hands.
Back at her peak in her previous life, Beatrice's mana was around 76, quite a bit higher than that of normal peak mages, but in this life, it seemed to have grown even further above that.
Beatrice did not doubt the precision of her teacher's machine, as such, she couldn't help but fall into thought.
'Did the fact that I was much more experienced than before help, or was the fact that my spiritual power was much higher the cause of this?' thought Beatrice as she touched her chin.
Based on her intuition, Beatrice immediately darted to these two things as the reason for her change.
Even though she could not know for certain which one of them was the true cause, Beatrice could only shake her head and turn her attention on something else.
'Worrying about things that do me no harm is not something productive,' thought Beatrice as she walked out of the testing machine.
A moment later, Beatrice walked out of the room, now thinking about something completely different.
As she stared at the ant colony entrance in front of her, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face, causing her to turn to Antonia, who was standing next to her.
"It looks as though you followed the design I gave you," said Beatrice, causing Antonia, as well as the Canty, who was sitting on Beatrice's shoulder, to nod.
Even though Antonia was extremely qualified in creating a colony in the ground, she had very little experienced in other directions.
As they were extremely thin, the new type of walls created by the colony, using magically reinforced dirt worked less like dirt and more like concrete, allowing Beatrice, a human who could learn quite a bit faster to help Antonia.
'Yes mistress, though I did make some changes to the design you gave me,' said Antonia as she slightly lowered her antenna, causing Beatrice to shake her head, whilst an enraged look appeared on the face of the little ant sitting on her shoulder.
"You don't have to be worried, I can't be mad that you changed it, after all, you are the one who is most familiar with the habits of your colony," said Beatrice, causing an enraged voice to suddenly emerge from next to her.
'You... you are too shameless, not only did you take the credit for proposing this change, you also stole my design, couldn't you at least credit me in front of mistress??' asked Canty as she stared at the ant queen, which was numerous times larger than her.
As she heard this, a slightly confused look appeared on Beatrice's face, causing her to suddenly turn towards Antonia with an inquisitive gaze.
'Canty, you are my daughter after all, isn't it natural for me to take the credit?' asked Antonia with a confused look on her face, causing Canty's antenna to suddenly twitch.
'And for the record, I was just about to tell mistress about your help,' said Antonia, making Canty's antenna twitch once again.
Even though Beatrice was slightly confused as she heard Antonia's reasoning, she could still feel that the latter was really telling the truth, and did not desire to steal Canty's achievements.
But even so, as she stared at the ant drama in front of her, Beatrice couldn't help but fall into thought.
'It seems as though there are some differences between the line of thinking of an intelligent ant and that of an ant queen,' thought Beatrice as Canty as began arguing with Antonia without even paying attention to Beatrice.
At first, Antonia felt a little bit hesitant to argue with the little ant, but after some time, and after noticing that Beatrice was not paying attention, she began fighting back against the words of the little ant.
But the moment she did so, Canty suddenly sat up and jumped from Beatrice's shoulder onto the ground in front of Antonia, allowing her to stare at the ant queen better.
And then, a moment later, Canty continued her fight.
'Maybe the human soul has influenced those artificial intelligent ants a bit, and that's missing from Antonia,' thought Beatrice as her eyes lit up.
The moment Beatrice thought of this, she instantly knew that this must be the case, as based on her observations, whilst Canty seems to be a little more individualistic, Antonia seems to regard the colony as one whole being.
'Since this is the case, I can research this area a bit later If I have some free time,' thought Beatrice as she committed her thoughts to her memory before taking out the information cube out of her robe.
A moment later, whilst the two ants were still arguing, Beatrice began writing some things down into the information cube.
It only took Beatrice around a minute for her to write down everything that she had thought of, but by then, the two ants, seemingly embarrassed by her, had taken their arguing inside the colony.
But even though Beatrice was no longer physically next to them to see the altercation between the two, using their mental link, she could feel that their argument had not ended in the slightest, rather, it had heated up even more.
...
Two hours later,
As she looked at Canty, who was sitting in a corner of the Queen's chamber, number 5, the ant that had spent over one hour inside a human body, couldn't help but tilt her head as she felt somewhat confused.
