“I’ll be teaching you two things.”Wyndia raised two fingers.“The first is my movement technique.”She looked at Rhys and continued,“It’s considerably more advanced than what you’ve learned at the academy.”“I originally developed it by studying the elves’ footwork before modifying it to suit humans.”Rhys listened attentively.“You may not know this, but elves possess exceptional footwork.”“They spend most of their lives moving through forests.”She began demonstrating as she spoke.“They have to cross uneven ground without losing their balance.”“They leap from branch to branch.”“They weave through dense trees where a single mistake could cost them their lives.”She took a few light steps across the yard.“Because of that…”“Their movements emphasize flexibility, agility, and stability all at once.”She looked back at Rhys.“Your fighting style relies heavily on firearms.”“You spend a lot of time creating distance while shooting.”“So if your footwork remains stable even while

“…This…”Rhys stared at his hands in astonishment.He instinctively circulated the Mana flowing through his body.The difference became obvious almost immediately.The current that had once felt restricted now rushed through his body with remarkable ease. Every pathway felt wider, smoother, and far more responsive than before. He didn’t even need to measure it to realize the improvement. Compared to before, the amount of Mana he could circulate at once had increased by at least half.Wyndia smiled faintly.“Normally, people don’t notice this change.”“It happens little by little over many months.”“So your body gradually adapts to it.”She looked at him.“But what we did today skipped that entire process.”Her expression became serious again.“To be honest…”“If Anubis hadn’t been here…”“I don’t think there would’ve been any way for you to reach this stage within the next two months.”Rhys lowered his head.“…Sorry.”“I know I was being reckless.”Wyndia snorted.“You’re apologizing

“Are you certain about this?” Wyndia asked one last time.Rhys met her eyes and nodded.“I am.”Wyndia folded her arms.She wanted to talk him out of it.She wanted to list every possible danger and convince him to wait until he grew stronger naturally.But the determination on his face told her everything she needed to know.No matter what she said…He had already made his decision.She let out a long sigh.“Fine.”“If you’re determined to go through with this…”“I’ll prepare a much stronger medicinal bath.”Her expression turned serious.“The herbs I’ll be using are far more potent than the ones you’ve taken before.”“They’ll forcibly stretch your Mana veins from the inside.”She looked directly at him.“The pain won’t even compare to what you’ve experienced so far.”“If the pressure becomes too great…”“Your Mana veins may rupture in several places.”“And when that happens…”“The pain will be beyond anything you’ve ever felt.”She glanced at Anubis.“Then his treatment will begin.”

Rhys fell silent for a while before finally asking,“…So even with the herbs you’ve been giving me…”“It’s still impossible?”Wyndia shook her head without hesitation.“No.”“The gap is simply too large.”She drew another line across the diagram on the ground.“Think of it this way.”“If someone can safely absorb twelve Elite-Class cores over time…”“That’s already considered an excellent standard.”“We’ve used that benchmark for years.”She glanced at Rhys.“And even when someone wants to push themselves to the absolute limit…”“Ten cores at once is usually where we draw the line.”She smiled faintly.“Do you remember the first time you absorbed an Elite-Class core?”Rhys nodded.“I do.”“You were right at your limit.”“That’s why the pain was so unbearable.”She folded her arms.“Of course…”“Passing out isn’t necessarily dangerous.”“Your body doesn’t stop functioning just because you’ve lost consciousness.”“As long as your Mana veins are strong enough to contain the flow…”“They’
Chapter 596
In the end, Rhys decided not to interrupt Grace and Ivory.He gave the two women one last glance before turning away.Grace was intelligent enough to know what she wanted. Even if Ivory’s personality was… unconventional, Rhys trusted Grace not to be influenced by the stranger aspects of her mentor’s lifestyle.Right now, he had something far more important to deal with.He still needed a massive amount of Mana before Sleeping Garden’s operation began.If he wanted to prepare properly, he first had to answer one question.Could he absorb an Alpha-Class core?It didn’t take long to find Wyndia.She was standing near the cloud-repelling device in the fields, carefully checking its condition and recording a few observations.Rhys walked over and greeted her.“Master.”Wyndia looked up.“Oh?”She tilted her head slightly.“It’s rare for you to come looking for me.”“What happened?”Rhys scratched his cheek with an awkward smile.“I wanted to ask you something.”She waited patiently.“Do yo

“What do you want to do now?” Anubis asked as he walked beside Rhys. “Gaelion and Syrax should still be sparring nearby.”Rhys thought for a moment.“I’m considering preparing my body to absorb the cores.”He paused almost immediately.“…Actually, no.”A frown slowly appeared on his face.“Can I even absorb Alpha-Class cores yet?”He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.“Now that I think about it…”“I never actually learned how to judge whether a body is strong enough to withstand the power contained inside a single core.”Anubis blinked before letting out a small laugh.“Oh.”“We were so focused on your innate ability and the summoning research that we completely forgot to ask Charlotte about that.”“Yeah.”Rhys nodded.“Still…”“I think I’d rather ask my teacher directly.”He glanced at Anubis.“You don’t have to come with me.”Anubis shook his head.“I don’t mind.”“If the discussion is about how the body works…”“I’d like to hear it too.”He smirked.“Who knows?”“I might even discover s
