Chapter 50: Pande's Special Treatment and the White Notebook

Faced with Kaios's question, Chief Judge Pande pondered for a moment before speaking. "Did you think of Soul Magic while you were painting?"

"Yes. Oh, and also when looking at the works of others," Kaios said. "I always feel that creating art is like a form of soul Cultivation. When I look at truly great works, it feels like a baptism of the soul. So, I started to wonder if cultivating Soul Magic would be beneficial to my artistic creation."

Pande nodded. "Good. It's impressive that you've realized this. You truly are an artist with great insight."

He paused briefly, then rose and walked to his massive desk. While searching for something in the bookshelf behind it, he said, "But you're mistaken about one thing. Don't think about cultivating Soul Magic. That's putting the cart before the horse. You only need to focus on the soul itself."
