Chapter 6: Countdown To Awakening (1)
It had already been nearly two weeks since Arthur had successfully bonded with Selena, and the results had exceeded his expectations.
During her stay on the northern border, all Arthur heard were the constant chimes of the system as notifications of mana he received from her filled his core.
Typically, mages and knights possessed two cores.
The storage core—which was located in the abdomen. Mages also had an additional core in their brain for casting, while knights possessed one within their heart for augmenting.
These were sensitive locations, so unawakened individuals were not allowed to undergo the process. Because of this, Arthur was confident his mana wouldn’t leak out.
However, he had a different issue to deal with.
After completing the scenario with Selena, he hadn’t cleared any new ones. Not because the system wasn’t offering them, but because of the absurd nature of the task.

Arthur flinched at Isabella’s voice. "Oh, yeah. I’m alright."
His gaze lingered on Isabella. Without thinking, he yanked a towel from her hand and walked out of the training area.
’Get your head out of the gutter, you virgin bastard!’ he cursed internally.
The mission the system had given him for the third scenario was an 18+ objective involving Isabella—and since refusing a scenario meant death.
