The group readily voiced their agreement, smiles and excitement returning swiftly. The previously heavy atmosphere rapidly dissipated, replaced by a renewed sense of camaraderie, anticipation, and shared determination.
As everyone rose from the table, beginning to stretch and mentally prepare for training, Edgar and Lucan exchanged quiet, approving smiles nearby.
They had witnessed the entire moment, silently proud of Orion’s maturity and bravery, as well as the friends who accepted and stood by him unconditionally.
As the friends dispersed from the table, laughter and renewed excitement filling the previously tense garden air, Edgar and Lucan approached Orion, their expressions warm yet still slightly concerned.
Edgar stepped forward first, placing a hand gently upon Orion’s shoulder.
"Young Master, do you wish for us to remain here and continue sparring with the group? Perhaps we could help you train everyone better," Edgar suggested calmly, his voice filled with sincere readiness to assist Orion in every possible way.
Lucan nodded alongside him, grinning cheerfully yet eagerly, clearly excited at the prospect of sparring further. "Yeah, Young Master, Sir Edgar and I can certainly help beat up everyone if you’d like."
Orion’s lips twitched at Lucan’s words. However, he shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "No, Uncle Edgar, Brother Lucan. Today I want to spar directly with each of my friends, one-on-one, so I can properly see how their abilities and mine compare. It’ll help me understand our strengths and weaknesses better before we start exploring together."
Edgar and Lucan exchanged a quick glance, silent approval and understanding passing between them. Both men clearly respected Orion’s decision and his desire to personally measure his friends’ capabilities. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Lucan chuckled lightly, playfully patting Orion’s shoulder. "Alright, Young Master, we understand. Don’t hold back on your friends though. Make sure you teach them properly today."
Edgar smiled warmly, nodding respectfully. "Very well, Young Master. We’ll leave you to it, then."
With another appreciative nod, Orion watched Edgar and Lucan depart toward the mansion, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance. A moment later, he calmly strode to the center of the spacious training courtyard, turning around to face his gathered friends.
Sunlight filtered softly through the leaves, casting gentle shadows across the pristine stone tiles beneath their feet.
A fresh, cool breeze rustled softly through the garden trees, carrying faint floral scents that lent the atmosphere a peaceful serenity despite the anticipation lingering in the air.
"Everyone, before we start, I have another small surprise," Orion announced lightly, drawing curious gazes and intrigued murmurs from his friends.
Arya tilted her head curiously, her violet eyes sparkling with interest. "Another surprise? I don’t think we can handle more shocks today, Brother Orion."
Orion chuckled softly, raising his hand in reassurance. "Don’t worry, Arya, this one’s pleasant. I have a treasure that significantly boosts perception, comprehension, and skill acquisition speed. It’ll greatly amplify our training session."
Without waiting for further reactions, Orion softly instructed, ’Lumi, activate the Limitless Ascension Field.’
[Right away, Master! (≧◡≦)]
Lumi’s cheerful response echoed within his mind as Orion felt a subtle ripple emanate outward from his body.
Instantly, a gentle, invisible wave of profound clarity and sharpness spread out, enveloping a radius of exactly ten meters around Orion.
His friends immediately reacted in visible surprise, their eyes widening as they experienced a sudden heightening of their senses and a sharp increase in mental clarity.
Emilia glanced around in wonder, her expression filled with awe. "This is incredible! I can sense everything so clearly right now."
Felira nodded eagerly, clearly excited by the unexpected benefit. "Yes, my perception is far sharper. Orion, this treasure is amazing."
Kale’s usually reserved demeanor briefly broke into open admiration. "Truly extraordinary. Training under these conditions will vastly improve our capabilities."
Seeing his friends’ excitement, Orion smiled meaningfully and said, "Remember to keep this secret to yourself, lest none of us can enjoy its benefits."
