Today is the 18th.
"Don't you want to try?" Alissa asks.
Lina stops bobbing her head and offers it to Ciel.
A little nervous, Ciel approaches and stuffs her mouth. Alissa holds her hair back and slowly guides her. The best part about Ciel is how her breast jiggles with every movement.
I was close so I just finish inside Ciel's mouth. She grimaces.
"Drink it," Alissa says sternly.
Ciel looks at her with pleading eyes.
"Come on, swallow," Alissa's tone is even more severe.
Lina smiles at Ciel and nods emphatically.
Ciel sighs and swallows, Alissa gives her a kiss on the cheek and I copy. Ciel blushes and immediately leaves the room.
"Progress," I smile.
I finally learned [Cooking] with 1 point. I wasn't putting that much effort into trying something new so I guess this is why it took so long.
I go to the basement and wait a few minutes until the black circle appears. I enter it and I'm taken to the same room as last time.
"Hello, Mr. Ryder," Kyros is the same as last time, relaxed and calm.
"Hello, teacher."
"Show me your progress."
I sit down and start my circulation.
"Hm... passable."
Ouch.
"Now, give it your all to increase the speed of the circulation, the faster it spins the better."
This isn't as simple as it seems. I still have to reform the vortex little by little, except this time I have to do hundreds of these reforms in a few seconds.
It's an exercise in repetition and patience. Whenever I start to skip too much Kyros stops me and forces me to move the vortex little by little again.
After a while I enter a sort of trance. The movements are repetitive but not physically tiring, it's very cathartic.
"That's enough for today."
I bow and take my leave.
I noticed that I have to put less effort in seasoning food now. Measuring how many pinches of salt was always a bother, I preferred to underseason then test the taste and finally adjust when necessary. Now I barely need to test the seasoning because I have been hitting the right spot on the first try.
The speed that I prepare the ingredients also increased, my dexterity with the knife is noticeably better.
I can also imagine the ingredients and how to prepare then and I get an intuition about how they would taste. Honestly I like cooking but the skill takes some of the effort off, which is not exactly why I cooked. I used it as a method of feeling catharsis, now things are more efficient, reducing the time I had for this relaxation.
Oh well, whatever, more convenience is just more convenient. I won't turn into an old grumpy man that complains about the progress of technology.
Today is [Electric Magic] class. Lyle is back to goofing around so I remind him to take things seriously. He gulps and focuses on casting [
Discharge
] in the largest area possible.
Lina stayed home again to get used to her new switch-axe. I put her extra points for leveling up into [Axe Use] so she has at least some basis to start from. The skill system is so convenient to accelerate growth.
Today I spar with Lina, Hana and Ciel. We are using real weapons and armor so Lina can practice with her switch-axe. Lina's excitement compounds with her inability to take it easy, making my life harder than it should. Her wish to prove herself to me is a bit worrying, she doesn't need to try so hard.
I'm getting annoyed at being pummeled so hard so I try a new tactic. I hunker down behind my shield and keep her at bay. I grab the pommel of my sword and twist it once, it's quite hard.
I strike with my sword and it slides off her shield, she's getting good at blocking. She counters with a chop at my legs and I step back. The axe grazes my shield.
I grab the pommel again and twist it hard, I pull the pommel and it wrenches free. With my sword hand I throw it at Lina. It hits her in her helmet and she gets dizzy.
I rush forward and bash her shield. She falls down like rock. I stab my sword in the grass, right next to her throat.
She looks at me dumbfounded. I heal her head and take off her helmet.
"What... Did you do?" She asks.
I contain my chuckle and kiss her forehead.
"Sorry for that. I threw my pommel at your head."
"What...?"
Hana is laughing while Ciel and Alissa are looking at us in disbelief.
"Wolfy, that was fucking retarded, I can't believe it worked," Hana says, drying the corner of her eyes.
"That was the pommel?" Alissa asks, she looks at the pommel of her own short sword and tries to unscrew it. "This is kinda hard."
Ciel chuckles and goes back inside to look at the food. Roxanne looks over from the window of her room.
"What's so funny?" She asks.
As an apology for hitting her so hard, tonight I give attention to Lina after I appease the wild animal that is Hana.
Today is the 19th.
Triple-treat as 3 tongues entwine in a dance.
This morning we teleport to Spiral Springs to get more moonlight moss. Just yesterday Hana saw a request for the moss. Kind of a cheat to be able to teleport there so fast but we really need more of Roxanne's elixirs.
It nearly takes all of my mana to get everyone there but it's improving. I drink an MP potion and we move on.
There's a considerable amount of Moonlight Moss, Roxanne is quite happy.
Lina puts her axe to the test. Axes are better than swords at killing these bulky monsters like the Moon Turtles. Maybe we should get an axe for Hana too but she would need a level or two to have enough spare skill points for it.
"Careful with the spikes!" Ciel warns Lina.
"Okay!" Lina responds as she dodges a spike.
She strikes with her axe at the blinded Moon Turtle.
We gotta train Lina in [Earth Magic]. [
Spirit of Gaia
] only gives her magical "Strength" and "Endurance", it doesn't give her more mass so she can still be punted like a ball by monsters with enough strength. The dwarven men-of-the-line use [Earth Magic] to embed their feet in the earth, keeping them stuck on the ground.
-I'm concerned about that Moonlight Moss request- I tell Alissa.
"Why?" She responds and fires an arrow.
"Someone is going to come here and see there's less Moonlight Moss than what was known."
"They could assume it was a coincidence that someone was passing through and took the Moss."
"Yes but still, if we do this repeatedly I don't want people to be wary of someone collecting the Moss all for themselves. People might stop posting requests for it at the Guild, which would be rather inconvenient as we wouldn't know when the Moss grew again."
She tilts her head and purses her lips.
"I see. Makes sense. Maybe we shouldn't collect the Moss from every turtle. The moss has a distinct smell and I think it's the spores, so I believe it spreads through the air. If we leave a turtle with Moss near others it could make the Moss spread faster."
"That's a good idea, you are always helpful," I smile warmly at her.
She blushes lightly and continues popping eyes. It makes me happy I can still make her blush.
I spend this morning focusing on my mana circulation. The girls are enough to kill the turtles so there's no need for me to participate.
Today is [Blessing Magic] class. It's always a straightforward class, there's not much theory to learn. It might also be the easiest magic school to learn.
Hatara is getting quite good at singing. Her voice is so soft and sweet. I can just imagine how good of a folk singer she would be on Earth.
This break everyone is at the table. I'm not the kind that goofs around and chit-chats or gossips. If it's not related to magic or work it generally doesn't interests me, because of that I never really had many friends. But it's still quite nice to sit back, relax and hear the others have their conversations. Specially because they don't keep trying to get me involved in the conversation. The older side of the family that would ask "why are you so quiet" was maddening... But I still miss them.
I have to clear my head and focus on something else, these memories aren't helping me right now.
Hana drags Roxanne out of her room and I tie her down with my hug so she doesn't escape. Even though Roxanne stopped working towards the anti-venom that killed her fiancee her obsession with potions still didn't subside.
"Roxanne, you never talked to us about your parents," I say.
She stops struggling and cringes. Well that's a good sign.
"Well..." She smiles wryly, "We kind of parted in not so good terms."
"Go on," Hana says, everyone nods.
Roxanne deliberates for a few seconds but resigns and sighs.
"I ran away from home," we all share a look of surprise. "My parents didn't approve of Mithra, they wanted a child of their blood. After she was gone I just couldn't stand anymore their talks of marriage and such. They wanted to create a family lineage and I just wanted to mourn. I took some money and ran away."
"I assume that they didn't try to brand you as a thief otherwise it would have been difficult for you to pass through Goldport unimpeded," Ciel says, she frowns in empathy to Roxanne's plight. "Your problem is quite common among the nobles. Greedy parents that want a better position to the extent that they trample over the wishes of their children. I didn't know you were part of the higher society, though."
"We are not considered part of the upper class of our Holy Land, I came from a small fishing village after all. What happened was that my parents ended up acquiring quite a bit of money, they found a wreckage and unearthed quite a lot of treasure. That happened when I was still a baby."
"So that's how they paid for your tuition at the Holy Academy, yes?" Hana asks.
Similar to a knights academy, the one on the demon race's territory is made to create servants and leaders to serve the Council of Elders.
"Yes. They wanted me to follow the path and reach a seat at the Council of Elders. But I couldn't, I couldn't handle the pressure. Then I met Mithra and..." Her voice fades and she curls into a ball.
I pull her down on the sofa and spoon her. Sometimes there's no need to talk, we already said our vows, all I have to do is assure her I'm here and I heard her.
With warm eyes Hana rubs her thigh and I hug her tighter.
I don't have parents to come back to so I will make sure you go back to yours.
Each of the girls give her a kind hand squeeze to assure her, Aoi gives her a lick that elicits a chuckle and Gify rubs his forehead on hers. After a while Hana carries her to their bed, tonight she gets the best treatment for sadness, aggressive cuddling.
Today is the 20th.
With the help of Alissa, Lina succeeds, or rather, half-succeeds. I wake up to Alissa licking Lina's face, a perfect way to start a morning. Ciel decides to smother me with her pillows.
I grab Ciel and reverse our positions while I use [
Clean
] on my mouth. I hold her head and kiss her deeply.
"You are always the jealous one aren't you?" I say.
She pouts and looks away.
"But I will always love you just they way you are."
She fails a poker face and her pout turns into a smile. I have to remember to regularly tell her I love her.
"I love you too, my cute little old man."
"Wow, what was that? What a horrible flirt. Do people of Rupegia flirt like this?"
She huffs in annoyance but ends up chuckling.
"Let me try that again," her tone turns to mockery, "I love you too, my little hero."
"Oh no that was too far. I will show you what a virtuous hero I am by ravaging you."
"Oh noo" -she slaps her forehead dramatically with the back of her hand- "the hero has turned into a depraved man that steals women's innocence."
"Ei, that's a good setting. I want that the next time you tie me up," Alissa says.
Ciel rolls her eyes and shakes her head. I insert a finger on Ciel, she gasps and squeezes me to her chest. I pull it out and my finger comes glistening.
"You look disapprovingly but you are getting wet," I say, showing her the finger.
Ciel squirms and blushes.
Itadakimasu.
My [Blessing Magic] increased by 1 (now 4+18).
Roxanne was looking downcast this morning. Hana kept her company and made sure she ate and talked to her. Tonight is her turn so I will do my best to keep her mood up.
"Today we are going to take a step further," Kyros says, "Do you know how sound works?"
"Vibrations on the air. You can visually see the vibrations if you look closely to the wave form of a string of a harp, the longer the string is the easier it is to see."
Kyros blinks blankly in surprise. I could possibly have more knowledge on sound and music than the natives, I even know some sheet music.
"That makes things simpler then," he mutters and cleans his throat, "The next step is to tremble your vortex so much you can produce sound."
Oooooh! Now I get it how [Godly Language] works.
Kyros starts a demonstration. I hear a low pitched rumbling, it sends me shivers like when someone scratches a blackboard, but the pitch of the sound is so low it shouldn't provoke this reaction. The mana-tainted sound waves are interacting with me.
"Wait," I lift my hand and Kyros opens his eyes, "Sound propagates through the air. Is this sound that mana creates also propagating through the air? I thought mana didn't interact directly with matter."
"Hooh. You are surprisingly well-read..."
"What you mean by 'surprisingly'?" I interrupt with a frown.
"Well..." He cringes and looks away.
Hah, I made the stoic man embarrassed.
"You are an adventurer and there's not many nobles who would be able to ask the same questions as you did..." He smiles apologetically.
"It's fine," I wave my hand dismissively, "Let's go back to my question."
"Yes. Well, mana really does not interact with matter, the sound it creates is a bending of our 'reality'."
"So, like how gravity does it?"
"What?"
Oh yeah, he's not a space mage, his knowledge of physics might be limited.
"Never mind. Continue, please."
"Continuing. This mana wave bends our world, it's easily seen in mana storms, it's how they rip the world apart. The important part is that when you add words, a meaning to that sound, it interacts with our spirit. The words are understood by our spirit, forcing it to change. The power in the mana wave is what fuels this change. It works even when the person does not understand the language, hence the name, only the Gods can speak to us in a language every humanoid would understand."
"But why do I have to move my vortex in a circle?"
"It's to guide the wave. In the future you will need to make two vortexes, one will create the sound and the other will spin around the vortex and absorb the wave to shield you from it. With high enough [Mana Control] you can manually guide the wave so it only affects your targets."
There's a way to create directional sound waves by using ultrasound as a carrier wave. This part of physics isn't my specialty so it will be left for some other time.
The training is now another degree harder. Doing two movements at once is hard, doing it with two individual vortexes will be near impossible. Maybe this could be an introduction to dual casting for me.
The fantasy-cancer also kicked up a notch, I have to focus hard on keeping control over the vortex. It seems that stray mana, uh, "particles" could be the cause of the corruption, mana itself doesn't interact with matter but it disturbs space-time.
The more I focus on control over this vortex the less corruption I feel. The more mana particles that escape, the more the corruption that appears. The faster I spin, even though the same amount of particles is escaping, the more the corruption appears. So it's all about the speed of the particles. The faster they are, the more they disturb space-time, the more corruption that appears.
Could this corruption also be related to how the undead corrupt the world?
When we finish I feel very dizzy. I cast [
Heal
] on myself and the dizziness goes away.
"Wast that [
Heal
]? I didn't hear you chant," Kyros asks.
"I didn't. Keep this private, you can ask Dame Vanea if you want to know more."
"Apologies, if Dame Vanea didn't tell me then I don't need to know," he bows lightly.
"You seem very loyal to her."
He smiles warmly.
"I am."
"Hm..." I stare at him for a few seconds.
Would it be impolite to ask his story?
Almost like he read my mind he speaks again.
"I'm not a criminal, only a victim of injustice," his stoic expression returns.
I nod at him, that's enough for me.
"Until next time," I say and take my leave.
Roxanne is a bit lonely so this time she came downstairs to help with lunch. Even Aoi is trying to help.
Aoi is now the size of a fully grown corgi. She eats more than her stomach could possibly handle. Monsters like her that grow up to impossible sizes are considered partial magical beings. They absorb loads of mana into their own bodies and store it for energy and structural stability. Without mana the square-cube law would make a creature like the ancient Azurite dragon impossible to exist, they would collapse under their own weight.
Aoi has also been developing more of her personality. She has been growing very curious, always watching closely whatever we have been doing. She tried to peel a not-potato but her claws are awkward to handle. If she grows some more she will be able to properly grasp things.
"You need a little more time, my little dragon," Hana says.
"Kweh! Tato, har' to cuut!" Aoi says, her voice is growing less strained.
I run my hand through her sleek spine and she shivers.
"Kihih! Ti-kle!"
Male dragons and dragonkin have rough and pointy scales. Females have more smooth and rounded scales. Even though Aoi's scales are hard I feel like holding her all day and petting her head, just like I did with my dogs.
I grab her and cuddle with her on my lap.
"Ol-fy!" She stretches her head and tries to lick my chin, just a few millimeters short.
"Yes?"
"Lo-ve you!"
Awn, oof, owie, ouch, guh! Critical hit!
"Ha-na, Li-na, Li-sa, Ci-el, Ro-xy. Lo-ve you!"
Area [
Heal
] please!
A crowd of teary-eyed faces stare at Aoi like a hunter stares at its prey. Aoi jumps on the table and a storm of hands pets her whole body. She closes her eyes and sprawls herself, enjoying the free massage.
"Gih!"
Gify pops into existence and jumps into the mosh pit of caressing.
Our lunch schedule gets disrupted due to our impromptu cuddling session. Roxanne's mood improved greatly after this.
During [Reduced Mana Cost] class I focus on Toroo's method of improving the "building" phase of the spell. My "Perception" and [Sense Mana] are high enough that I can observe my own spells in quite a lot of detail, the problem is that the details do not make sense.
I have to look over all my spells one by one. I have to identify the common patterns among them and see which patterns can be simplified. The patterns of a spell are similar to how a soul works, it's "organized" but "nonsensical" information. I can't see them with as much clarity as I can when I'm using [
Infuse
] from [Golemancy] but I can discern
something
.
During this break Silvane and Nononya appear again. Gimbo was nervous for a while, he knows who Silvane is. Eventually he calmed as he saw how others would casually address Silvane.
Silvane seems very interested in our discussions about this skill. Describing what we feel about the patterns is quite a difficult thing. Due to everyone's different levels of perception and intuition the way we sense patterns differs.
For example. Alissa has a very good sense of smell, so when she tried to morph [
Ghost Lights
] to affect only a single target she felt the patterns of the spell as smells. Followed by that she saw abstract images and heard scratching sounds.
For me I have a feeling like spells are "circuits". Like an electrical circuit, every "symbol" represents a "pattern", these patterns are how the spells are modified. The way these patterns are wired also changes their behavior in (what I believe it would be) predictable ways.
Most natives of the world learns how to manipulate spells, though it's very limited. But even people with a small amount of talent for magic can observe the 5 individual steps that form a spell if they put some effort into it. For Alissa that modification was made on an instinct developed by years of contact with magic. Because I don't have the same instincts the way I see magic is very different.
The bell chimes and we move back to class.
"Say, Toroo, do you know who Silvane really is?" I ask.
"Hoh? I'm not sure, she certainly acts like nobility but I don't know of any silver elf house that lives here."
"She's betrothed to the Lord's son."
She chokes on her spit.
"W-what!?" She turns at me, she frowns so deeply her eyebrows make her look like a very angry owl. "Hoooh, you didn't deem it important to tell me!? I didn't even call her 'Miss'!"
I chuckle and lift my hands in surrender.
"I'm sorry. But you should have seen she doesn't care about these things. She was specially friendly to you."
"Hoh!" She turns in a huff and marches on.
"Miss Toroo," Gimbo scurries forward and interjects, "I had heard about the silver elf. She's a lovely woman who doesn't really hold nobility in high esteem. She's a Blood Slave, her parents were Lords that were executed for their incompetence."
Toroo stops and her expression turns into surprise.
"Huhm," She rubs the feathers on her head, "Tragic, I understand her position. But still, do not play me like this, Wolf."
"I'm sorry," I smile in a way that tells that I am not sorry.
Roxanne was feeling quite happy. Me and Hana tied her down and double teamed on her until she could barely breathe. She slept with a stupid smile on her face.
Today is the 21st.
Today Alissa had to wake me up the normal way because I came and kept sleeping.
"A new challenge," Hana says, her eyes glimmer.
"Love, I think you shouldn't have much hope on this one," Roxanne says.
"You are a storm while Alissa is as soft as a snowflake. Your styles are too different," I say.
This deflates Hana's ego. Alissa grabs her head and stares deeply at her eyes.
"You shouldn't be sad, only you can make him cum in a few seconds."
"That... Is true," Hana says, she gets up from the bed with a silly smile.
My [Reduced Mana Cost] increased by 1 (now 6+4).
This morning I spend with Hana and Alissa. I'm mainly training my footwork and how to use [
Telekinesis
] for short flights and to aid jumps, I want to use falling attacks like how Hana does. People think that I have little mass due to my size but if I can use [
Telekinesis
] to increase gravity on myself (and not break my legs after hitting the ground) then I can do some really savage overhead strikes.
So far my style with the sword is catching them unaware with a super heavy attack. But this won't last, sometime, somewhere, I will find someone that can resist it.
I have been trying to use [
Rush
] for lighting-fast strikes but it's dangerous. I can easily lose my weapon or over-swing, leaving me open to a counter.
Roxanne finishes another batch of her strength elixir.
As we prepare lunch Ciel barges in.
"I learned it!" She yells with pride.
"That was fast," Roxanne says.
"Yeah well. [
Judgment
] is a really simple spell so it's easy to learn but mine is really weak. It does enough damage that I can threaten an undead but I would need time. If we meet a group like the dragonoids we should be able to keep them occupied long enough for me to kill at least one of them."
"That's reassuring. Good job," I kiss her cheek.
Ciel beams with a smile.
Today is [Space Magic] class. I'm not that focused this time, my mind has been swimming with too much information. Magic manipulation, dealing with my women, Darean and Vanea, the problems with Ankara, the reoccurring situations where I have to kill people. I need a vacation.
"Feeling tired, Wolf?" Lyle asks.
Can't really hide things from that one.
"I
am
tired," I sigh, "Next half-cycle break I wanna stay at home. Been fighting and training too much."
"Sometimes we put too much on his shoulders," Alissa says.
She pulls me closer, I lay my head on her chest and close my eyes.
"It is impressive how you are the leader of your fellowship," Lyle says.
"And you are famous in town," Hatara continues.
"It is not unexpected for you to sometimes feel the weight."
"Some of the weight is self-imposed. I spend too much money... Indulging on my women," I smile wryly.
Someone grabs my hand. I open my eyes and see a smiling Lina holding my hand close to her fast beating heart. Her other hand is on her leather choker.
"But it is worth it," I say.
I smile to Lina and return to rest on Alissa's chest. Gify turns on his special touch and I feel like my shoulder is being massaged by running water.
Today is the 22nd.
My member has disappeared inside muffins. Every motion a small pink tip appears just to be covered by a tongue. Milk splashes on chocolate, a delicious meal for Alissa that licks and sucks on the lips of a very red and embarrassed Ciel.
"You almost did it," Lina says with an innocent smile, "It was way better than my first time."
"Yes, that was amazing, Ciel," Alissa says.
"I will never be able to do such a thing," Lina hunches forward and squeezes her little mounds.
"You have other things you have an advantage on," Alissa pinches Lina's bum.
Lina jumps and her eyes dart about, absorbing the implication.
Ciel is still frozen in embarrassment, the praise didn't seem to help.
Now there is only one last piece of purity remaining on the priestess. Soon she will be completely mine.
"Good morning, Mr. Ryder."
"Good morning, Mr. Kyros."
"Show me your progress."
"Not much to show, I wasn't feeling like training the circulation yesterday."
Kyros narrows his blue eyes in disapproval. I sigh with tiredness.
"You wouldn't know but I have been fighting quite a lot lately. I'm getting very tired."
"Not of my concern," he answers immediately.
"It is if you want to properly teach me. You can't just look things in a vacuum."
"In a what?"
I massage my forehead.
"It's an expression. You can't ignore the rest of my life, it has influence over my performance. Teaching is more than just what you say during class."
His face frowns in annoyance.
"You are far too young to be giving
me
a lesson."
If only you knew the truth.
"Whatever. Let's continue," I wave my hand dismissively.
He huffs.
I continue where we stopped last time, but I increase the intensity.
Now I have to regularly heal myself. The dizziness is getting really strong, headaches hit me like flashes, my skin starts to grow red and inflamed. Is this radiation poisoning?
"Pay attention to your symptoms boy, they show you are being sloppy with your control," Kyros says.
I open my eyes to look at him and see small colored spots of light all over my vision. Yeah, it's fantasy-radiation poisoning.
With time I slowly manage to create a low-pitched humming. I'm quickly developing a sort of auto-pilot mode. I just have to wish and "let go" and I can recreate the vortex at the same level of control as I have already achieved.
"Boy, your level of precision and speed is good enough for some basic vocalization. But you have to improve on your control, you are leaking too much mana. Lucky for you that your [
Heal
] is so good."
"I understand. I will keep it in mind."
"That's enough for today."
Today is [Nature Magic] class. The professor is teaching us proper vine manipulation by combining [
Entangling Vines
] with [
Vine Weapon
], it's the basics of natural materials manipulation.
The spell [
Grow
] is used to harden the materials at specific points. You bend it, grow the two parts together, shave off the excess and repeat. This creates a material harder than normal.
The elves have a more advanced version of it using wood. They bury it in fertilized earth and use [
Grow
] on it. The wood then absorbs nutrients from the earth and changes its composition depending on how the earth was fertilized.
Lina is back at home sparring so it's only me and Alissa during break.
"Gih."
And Gify.
Now that I can properly relax I notice that there's a considerable number of people glancing at us. Not the usual envy or lecherous glance, it's a neutral glance with a hint of curiosity.
My time hugging Lina is growing short, she learned [
Manipulate Metal
]. As expected, it is weak, but it means that I don't need to show it to her anymore, she can improve the spell on her own. Not that I need a reason to spend hours cuddling with her cute ass rubbing on my crotch while I slowly bend a sheet of metal, but it was still a cathartic moment.
I spend the rest of the night compiling Morse code for the girls. They don't need to learn it immediately, just a sheet with all the words and a small explanation is enough for an emergency.
Today is the 23rd.
I wake up in desperation as I have to claw my soul back from the black hole that's sucking the life out of me. I grab upon a red mane to stabilize myself on this world but this only makes the enemy pull harder.
Like a horror move I slip little by little. I cannot maintain my hold and my strength slowly chips away. When I'm about to collapse I cum again and the storm abates.
"That's a new record," Roxanne says.
"Don't do this everyday, I think you might actually kill him if you do," Alissa says.
I collapse back on the bed and try to calm my breath. Hana lifts her head and savors the sauce with delight. She finally swallows and nearly prances out of the room in happiness.
"Wow..." I mutter.
I came multiple times in quick succession. It takes me a few minutes before I can manage to stand.
I increased my [Mana Control] by 1 (now 0+12).
Alissa increased her "Strength" by 1 (now 12). I can see her already athletic body get even more defined. So delicious, I want to lick her abs and biceps.
I spend the morning casually training. I focus on control, I need to reduce the amount of stray mana that escapes. I won't be able to increase the intensity of the circulation if I receive terminal radiation poisoning every time I train.
Ciel has some interest in copying my circulation. Hana is also practicing with me, she will pass down my lessons to Lina when she comes back home. Roxanne has only a passing interest, she will keep to her potions until Kyros passes me the "Magic Power" training regimen.
On [Electric Magic] class the professor talks about the level 30 spell [
Charge
]. It basically turns objects into a time bomb, when the time runs out it's like casting [
Discharge
] in every direction. Kind of underwhelming but the interesting part of it is that people have been modifying it to work like a battery.
If modified further it could even be used to enchant weapons with electricity, though great care has to be taken so the wielder doesn't get shocked too.
Lyle has taken an interest on this spell when I started telling him about how electrical actuators could be built. I don't have that in depth knowledge about it but I think Lyle could build it if he puts some effort on it.
The class was about to end when I feel my pocket get warm. I take out Vanea's lithograph and my heart sinks.
"EMERGENCY OPERATION. 9PM Baalfire's Tavern".
