Outside the window, the moonlight was bright, spilling over the trees and shrubs, casting faint glimrs of light.
Feeling the steady rhythm of Celestine's breathing on his thigh, Charles quietly covered her with a blanket.
He shifted his gaze to the wound on Celestine's arm, which had already scabbed over. The orange-quality miracle drug had indeed proven to be effective.
"I just wonder if it has scar-removing effects. If not, I'll have to check out the Seven Kingdoms rchant Association or the Alchemist Guild." Charles thought to himself.
No girl would want to have a few extra scars on her body. Charles considered this quite a bit.
He also noticed the change in himself today, the calm and composed deanor he had always maintained was starting to beco more lively.
Thinking of this, Charles lowered his head again to glance at Celestine, who was sleeping soundly.
Earlier, Celestine hadn't asked what had happened.
Charles hadn't explained much either, he hadn't expected Celestine to perceive his change and the unease within him.
That sense of unease stemd from feeling the bonds between himself and others growing deeper, making them inseparable.
Especially at this mont, the arrival of the six [Bodies] was just the beginning.
Charles knew very well that the unknown entity within him would not allow him to grow peacefully.
Whether it was the [Constellation] organization or the monsters, he could not escape them.
"When I get to the Haunted Marsh, I'll check out the [Suspended Mountain] that Lucas ntioned. I need to figure out what exactly is inside ."
Charles took a deep breath. The deepening bonds and the encroaching danger ant he needed greater strength to protect those he cared about.
Whether it was Celestine or anyone else, lacking powerful abilities when danger struck was sothing Charles could never accept!
According to what the mysterious figure wearing the white mask said, tomorrow night or the night after, monsters comparable to a level nine Beast Master would arrive in Genosha.
At that ti, he would see just how powerful that mysterious figure truly was.
"He must possess strength beyond a level nine Beast Master. Dealing with six monsters that can match a level nine Beast Master should be no problem for him." Charles pondered.
In the depths of the night, within a hidden building in Genosha Calivia,
mysterious figures dressed in black robes, their faces obscured, were busily at work.
In the central area of these mysterious figures, there was a black dodecahedral box, about two to three ters tall.
Every black-robed person passing by would stop in their tracks, stand still, and then slowly kneel, pressing their foreheads, faces, and chests completely to the ground.
"Great Master!"
"Great Master!"
"Great Master!"
The fervent and devout shouts echoed and collided in the silent space.
Suddenly, the black box trembled, and all the black-robed figures stopped breathing, their eyes wide open as they watched intently.
After a long, long ti,
when the black box showed no further signs of movent, the group gradually stood back up.
One person strained to lift their head, their neck extending oddly until the back of their head could touch their back, and only then did their lips slightly part as they slowly said:
"To witness the gaze of our Master, to see a part of our Master's body with our own eyes, is the honor of the people of Genosha!"
"Whoever it may be will bow to the greatness of our Master!"
...
The next morning, the morning sun stread in through the window, landing on Celestine's face.
She groggily placed her right hand over her eyes to shield them from the glaring light.
In an instant, Celestine, who had been drowsy just monts before, suddenly opened her eyes wide and beca exceptionally alert.
"Charles?" As soon as Celestine opened her eyes, before she could even sit up, she saw Charles sitting there.
"You're awake, it's about ti. I just finished making breakfast. After you wash up, we can eat." Charles said as he slowly put down his phone.
Celestine's eyes widened as she stared intently at Charles, her mouth moving slowly as she spoke:
"You were in that position before I went to sleep, and now that I'm awake, you're still in that position. Did you not sleep at all last night?"
Charles scratched his head, trying to move his legs as he replied:
"I saw you were sleeping so comfortably, so I couldn't bring myself to move." Charles said.
Celestine looked at Charles's slow movents, and a concerned and guilty expression instinctively appeared on her face.
It was all her fault for sleeping so soundly last night, not waking until dawn. If she had woken up in the middle of the night, Charles could have had a good night's sleep too.
"Don't move yet, you've been in the sa position all night. Are your legs feeling okay?" Celestine imdiately sprang into action.
She bent down, reached out her hands, and slowly began to massage Charles's legs. However, because her injuries hadn't fully healed, there was so unavoidable pain.
To keep Charles from noticing, Celestine bit down hard on her teeth, tensing the muscles in her face, pretending that nothing was wrong.
Before she could massage for long, Charles reached out, placing his hand over hers, shaking his head.
"It's fine, I can move on my own. You should rest well right now, after you wash up, we can eat."
After saying this, Charles propped himself up on the edge of the bed, using his arms to shift his legs to the floor.
After a whole night, his legs had been in a state where blood circulation was poor, if he were an ordinary person, he would have already been unable to move.
After adjusting a bit, Charles found he was mostly fine.
He went to the bathroom in the dical room, prepared his toiletries, and also brought a basin and a cup of water, placing them beside Celestine.
"You can wash up first." Charles said before heading back to the bathroom to quickly wash himself.
Celestine stared at the prepared toothpaste and toothbrush, along with the water at just the right temperature, in a bit of daze.
She slowly reached out her hand, took the items, and began to wash up.
As she washed, Celestine perked up her ears to listen to the sounds from the bathroom, feeling an unusual sense of satisfaction, safety, and happiness.
"If only it could stay like this forever." Celestine thought to herself.
Her movents slightly paused as she reflected on the future, realizing there might not be another chance like this, and she couldn't help but feel a bit forlorn.
However, upon hearing Charles's footsteps, Celestine quickly pushed her thoughts aside and focused on washing up.

She didn't want to think about anything else, just enjoying her ti with Charles was enough.
Holding onto that thought, an undeniable smile remained on Celestine's face, and she felt exceptionally happy as she started having breakfast with Charles.
Once Charles had tidied up the al containers, Celestine took a deep breath.
"Charles, it's about ti, we should head to the competition venue and make sure to perform well today!" Celestine said.
Charles nodded and advised, "If you feel tired later, take a break. Your body is still weak, so don't think too much about the competition."
"You can drink this bottle of miracle drug now, it should help speed up your recovery, and by noon you should be able to move around."
Celestine reached out to take the miracle drug that Charles handed her, carefully setting it aside.
As Charles walked to the door, it seed he suddenly rembered sothing and spoke up:
"I've already bought you a ticket back to Lsengard. I haven't been back in a while, and I thought you could visit Uncle Qin and see how everyone else is doing."
Upon hearing this, Celestine didn't think much, she knew Charles had always been busy, and it was normal for him not to have ti to go back.
"Could you wait a little? I want to see you win the championship before I leave." Celestine said hesitantly.
Charles chuckled and reassured her, "It's just a competition between the three academies, what's there to see? There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future."
Celestine thought about it carefully. She felt that sothing about Charles was a bit strange, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Considering this was sothing Charles wanted her to do, she didn't want to refuse. She loved the feeling of being able to help him.
"Alright, I'll go back to Lsengard at noon." Celestine said.
Charles took a deep breath, his smile remained unchanged. However, as he reached the door, he instinctively turned back and glanced at Celestine once more.
Once Charles had completely left, Celestine looked at the already closed door of the dical room and slowly said:
"Is Calivia in danger, and you have to stay behind to face it?"
"I still can't help you with anything, it's so frustrating."
Celestine felt a deep sense of helplessness in her heart. She didn't want Charles to face danger alone, but her strength was too weak.
In the stadium, in the audience section, a mysterious figure wearing a mask, seemingly ignored by everyone, slowly put down the ga console in his hands.
"How boring, this ga is just too dull." he complained, then stood up and stretched.
The mysterious figure turned around, gazing into the distance, and slowly spoke,
"You've finally arrived. After dealing with you, I'll need to visit other realms before I can take on any disciples."
"I hope Charles thinks this through, after all, I have no interest in any other talents besides him."
At this point, the mysterious figure silently sighed and then sat back down.
He shifted his gaze to the Cyber Academy area, where Charles sat calmly, waiting for the competition roster to appear.
