Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

That's why the banquet hall is a bit far from here.

Following the original owner's memories, Qiu Tong walked to the banquet hall and hid in the shadows to observe the development of the banquet.

Qiu Tong remembered that tonight was not only the first time Matthew and Catherine met, but also the time Catherine showed off her skills to make a splash at the banquet.

According to the original owner's later investigation, Catherine had long coveted the Gale family's wealth and status, and she deliberately piqued Matthew's interest in her.

Given Catherine's status and background, she would never have had the opportunity to appear here.

She managed to get here through some means.

Aside from being cunning, Catherine was indeed a talented magician, and could even be considered a genius.

But she doesn't use her magic for good; instead, she often uses it for unorthodox methods, which is what makes her most unpleasant.

After reading the original owner's memories, this was Qiu Tong's only feeling towards her.

In fact, when Qiu Tong heard the original owner express her wish, she felt that the original owner was truly kind.

Even though this woman caused her death, she didn't seek revenge. Instead, she aspired to become a famous magician.

I just want to achieve what I couldn't do in my past life with her.

It's clear how much she longed for her family's approval in her past life, but unfortunately, she was born at the wrong time and into such a suffocating family.

If she had been born into an ordinary family, she probably wouldn't have encountered these terrible things.

Qiu Tong didn't think too much about it; the plot was about to unfold, and she needed to find a way to get out.

The banquet has moved from indoors to the garden, where they will compete in a magical contest—an event organized by the banquet organizers to liven up the atmosphere.

If you don't show off your magic in the magical world, when will you ever use it?

The people invited were either people of high status or talents in various fields.

That's why Catherine went to great lengths to come here – all to hook up with a rich guy.

Her family background shaped her personality.

Her mother was a mistress in a small, somewhat well-known family, who was competing with other women for her husband.

Having witnessed her mother's despicable methods since childhood, Catherine naturally learned about seven or eight parts of them.

She didn't think her mother had done anything wrong; instead, she complained about the injustice God had done to her.

She has both looks and talent, so why was she born into such a family?

As a child, she and her mother moved into her father's home with his first wife without any pretense, which led to frequent arguments in the household.

Catherine learned from her mother and often pretended to be wronged and bullied so that her father would stand up for her.

Mrs. Francis, the first wife, was an indecisive person. One day, her husband suddenly returned home with another woman and their daughter, and she didn't dare to say anything.

His first wife had two sons, both a few years older than Catherine. The eldest son, Geraldine, was a short-tempered and impulsive man.

The second son, Fitz, was taciturn and indifferent to everything; his first wife once thought he was autistic.

But when we took him to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said he was normal, just relatively quiet.

While Mrs. Francis was relieved, she was also worried about his future.

Such silence and inaction are not a good thing; how can one gain respect in a magic academy like this?

Mrs. Francis was extremely worried about this son.

Then the mistress brought her daughter into the house.

Mrs. Francis was thunderstruck; she had always thought her steady and kind husband had been keeping a mistress and daughter on the side.

She felt like the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. She couldn't care less about her two sons, as she was busy dealing with the mistress and Catherine every day.

If she had been braver and divorced him, taking her two sons with her, she wouldn't be living such a suffocating life.

The eldest son, Geraldine, disapproved of the mistress and Catherine, and often clashed with them.

Then when her father, Heda, returns, they will frame her, saying that he beat and scolded her.

The mistress even cruelly pinched her and her daughter's arms, making Heda believe that her son had actually done it.

No matter how Mrs. Francis explained, Hedda did not believe him, and she spent her days in tears, unable to stand up for her son.

He could only step forward to shield his son from Heda's attacks when Heda punished him.

Fetz saw all of this, but he didn't care at all, as if he wasn't part of the family.

Whenever these upsetting things happen, he closes the door to keep the noise out.

Amy and Catherine, the mistresses, felt that Fitz posed no threat, so they ignored him.

They were determined to first bring down Mrs. Francis and Geraldine, so that they could have whatever they wanted at home.

Young Catherine was thus corrupted by her mother. She learned nothing good, but she mastered the intrigues and power struggles within the inner quarters of the household.

They even surpassed their predecessors, and their eyes began to be drawn to several prodigies from prominent families.

Matthew and John were among her targets, but they weren't the ones she initially set her sights on.

She was able to attend the banquet because the person she initially set her sights on brought her there.

Her ambitions grew, and she felt that the status and position she had chosen were not commensurate with her.

So she decided to choose a new target from this banquet.

The competition over there had already begun.

The competition held by the Gale family this time was simply to neutralize the incoming magic with their own magic.

Simply put, it's a clash between two types of magic that continues until both types of magic are neutralized.

One of the mages was a level three mage sent by the Gale family to attack the challenger.

The challengers on the other side are any one of the guests tonight.

They can issue challenges by jumping onto the platform in front and sparring with the magicians sent by the Gale family.

It's called a friendly competition, but that's just a gimmick; it's actually just a game of pretend.

Otherwise, why would this competition use magic to cancel each other out, instead of other competitive methods?

But this kind of competitive event is a good opportunity for Qiu Tong to show her talent.

This competition may seem like child's play, but it actually requires a high degree of control over magic.

If you lose even a fraction of your strength, you'll be knocked down by the opponent's magic; if you gain even a fraction, you'll injure the opponent.

This competition was sufficient for the banquet organizers' purpose of enlivening the atmosphere.

Catherine naturally wouldn't miss such a chance to show off. When no one else was going up to take the challenge, she took advantage of her male companion's inattention and jumped onto the platform to accept the challenge herself.

The Gale family is also very wealthy; they built a platform for confrontation in the garden, specifically for tonight.

Typically, these kinds of competition stands are only available at academies or specific locations.

To demonstrate their family's capabilities, the Gale family naturally needed to build a battle arena in their home.

Just to clarify, the mages in this plane are divided into different levels.

The lowest level is level one, and so on, increasing upwards.

However, the highest level of magicians in the Magic City is currently only level five, and there are only a handful of ten of them.

The ten are ranked equally; as long as the magical energy exceeds a certain limit, the Magic Association can determine the magician's level.

The Magic Association exists only in this city. It is the place where outstanding magicians from all generations gather, and it is also the one who establishes the system for assessing magician levels.

The association was initially established as a seminar, but it gradually grew into the Magic Association it is today.

Moreover, the initial magic levels were not as high as they are now; they were developed step by step based on the research of predecessors.

Whether there will be another level 5 mage in the future, or whether any mage will break through to level 6, is unknown.

The younger you are, the higher your chances of advancing in magic, but as you get older, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance in magic level.

So even in university, magic still couldn't break through its limits, and after entering society, they had even less time to practice magic.

The levels of magicians are basically fixed.

If you want to achieve something in magic, you have to work hard to cultivate it before university.

People who live in magical cities generally possess magic.

However, there are also ordinary people living in the magical city, and some special talents must be recruited from outside.

Magic City is an independent city, unlike other cities, it is a city dedicated to the development of magic.

Magic academies are everywhere here, and most of the people on the streets are students in school uniforms, but there are only a few that are the most famous.

Those who awaken magic outside of the Magic City will try every means to be sent to the Magic City by their families to study.

Once it is discovered that one does not possess magic, they will be expelled from the magic city.

Although the original owner was known as a good-for-nothing, the Gale family did not tell the outside world that their youngest daughter had no magic in order to save face for the family.

Therefore, the outside world only considered Gale's youngest daughter to be a good-for-nothing.
