The fights continued.

Amon displayed a notable interest in the contests. His understanding transcended that of most, which led him to assimilate the sophisticated technique with which each combatant employed the ‘Ascending Lightning Spell’.

“Amon, are you really just a Grandmaster?” Lara, who was by his side, could no longer hold back her curiosity.

With a glance at her, Amon’s eyes twinkled in confusion at the question, considering that until now he had only demonstrated the skills of a Grandmaster, not even possessing the strength of a Star Rank Ascendant…

And as for Lara’s dismissive manner when mentioning the Grandmaster Rank… Well, being a Star Rank herself, she had some authority to do so.

“Yes, I am a Grandmaster.” He confirmed, and in silence reflected: ‘Although my Grandmaster level is 3,000…’

If Lara had any notion of Amon’s thoughts, she would probably fall over and go back to sleep, for she surely hadn’t fully assimilated the reality!

“Impressive…” She murmured to herself.

What was even more unbelievable to her was the way Amon watched the other students’ duels, commenting his own perceptions in real-time, saying things like ‘No, not like that, you need more speed and less power…’ or ‘That was good, but if she had slightly amplified the electromagnetic pulse, it would have been perfect…’

To Lara, these whispered comments were more disturbing than watching Amon defeat Cleiton, who, like her, held a Star Rank.

A Grandmaster beating a Star without a single scratch, demonstrating a profound understanding of a spell after just one day of practice, and on top of that developing eleven variations of that spell in a single day!

By the stars! She didn’t even know how to articulate what she felt at that moment, but one thing was certain: her interest in him had increased exponentially…

Hours later…

“That’s great for today, folks,” declared Professor Taiga. “Let’s end here. Reflect on what was learned and we will continue the discussion next week.”

Barbara felt as if an eternity had passed since she last saw her boyfriend.

The moment Amon invited her out, she could barely contain her excitement and promptly accepted upon receiving his message.

She prepared in her dormitory with special care for the date.

In front of her full-length mirror, Barbara observed herself.

She presented herself as the embodiment of daring and contemporary style. Her lips, painted a bold red, offered a stark contrast to her delicate and nearly translucent skin, accentuating a confident and mysterious emerald gaze. Her hair, in a deep ruby tone, lay in wild and sensual curls over her shoulders, echoing the vibrant colors of the lit ambiance.

With a carefree style, she wore a short black top that hinted at her defined stomach and a casual wine-colored jacket over her elbows, exuding a youthful and effervescent rebellion. The strategically ripped gray pants gave a sophisticated nonchalance to her ensemble.

“Perfect, I look stunning…” she whispered to herself with conviction: “Knock it out of the park, girl, today you will completely conquer your boyfriend’s world…!”

A light blush tinted her cheeks in anticipation of the moments she wished to spend with Amon… ?????Ξ?М?Υ?

She stepped out, and each stride was a testament to her resolve.

The confident cadence of her heels echoed through the dormitory corridor.

She had to acknowledge, her heart was beating faster. There was something in the air that reminded her of the excitement of a first date.

“It’s been a while…” She thought intimately.

Absorbed in her reflections, Barbara barely noticed the looks that began to follow her path, drawing attention even before she left the building, where other students couldn’t help but observe her.

As she expected, she became the center of attention, the embodiment of passion and feminine power.

The confidence Barbara naturally exuded made her stand out, provoking in others the desire to look not just once, but twice.

As she made her way to the elevator, Barbara pressed the button for the university exit.

A brief span of time passed before she reached her destination.

Stepping out, she tried to remain composed, but upon spotting her boyfriend at a distance, leaning near the university exit with his hands casually placed in his pockets, Barbara’s heart thrummed with the innocence of youthful passion, and her steps quickened involuntarily, the echo of her heels filling the surrounding space.

With lips pursed in a vain attempt to contain her smile, Barbara’s internal excitement could not be contained as she realized just how attractive Amon looked.

Amon was the very image of relaxed sophistication in Barbara’s eyes. He wore a white shirt that highlighted his defined physique, with the top buttons undone, revealing a hint of his tanned skin. His deep blue trousers molded to his legs, conveying a secure stance. White sneakers brought a casual touch to the smart ensemble.

Sunglasses covered his honey-colored eyes, and his neatly arranged black hair added to his unassuming charm.

In a glance, Barbara took in these details, each one intensifying the attraction she felt for him.

“Amon~!” She greeted him, waving her hand with moderate enthusiasm and a surprisingly delicate voice.

In response, Amon took his left hand out of his pocket and lifted his sunglasses, revealing his beautiful honey-colored eyes as he walked towards her while placing the glasses in the collar of his white button-up shirt.

“Did I make you wait long?” She murmured with subtle flirtation.

As the distance between them closed, Barbara placed her hands on Amon’s chest, lifting her gaze to meet his, her emerald eyes gleaming with an enchanting and love-filled luster.

“I just arrived,” he replied with a gentle lie. It didn’t take long for him to add, “Wow! You look stunning. For a moment, I didn’t even recognize you, you’re that breathtaking.”

Inflated by his sweet words, she felt a wave of joy and, even more seductively, whispered his name: “Amon…” Then, she slid her hands from his chest to encircle his neck and, gently, drew his head down until her crimson lips met his in a passionate kiss.
