Julian's body twitched the mont he noticed the change in the atmosphere. Since he wanted to spend more ti getting used to the new unit. He couldn't forget about the fact his spells could hit Sena if he cast them recklessly.
"Sena, be careful." He called her back in a calm voice and she imdiately followed with a snort, smirking at him as she stood just ahead of him.
Rustle
Then rembered that his commands wouldn't directly control her like Umbra, but thanks to the capsule, Sena would react faster than another person would.
"Rember, we can hit each other because of the lover's capsule."
"Y-You, don't keep saying it, are you not embarrassed?"
Julian enjoyed pushing Sena's buttons, small reactions from things he never dared to do in his past life.
This Julian wasn't the sa one, after all.
"One mont, Sena there are monsters in the forest, let's practise our teamwork. Can you please show your status panel?"
Julian stepped closer and pulled Sena back with his arm touching her waist. He enjoyed the warmth and springy sensation of her curves while she stepped out of the forest area.
'That's good, the monsters in the dream cannot leave their sections.'
"Ah… Y-Yeah."
Sena's cheeks turned red when his arm wrapped around her hips and pulled her back, and she leaned against his chest, able to feel the sensation of his body and the beating of his heart.
The two didn't realise, but in the capsule, their bodies were currently in a similar position, causing the sensory information to be so precise and vivid.

• HP: 30

"Hmm…"
Julian muttered to himself, while his fingers hugged Sena closer.
The warmth, and scent of her body were almost addictive, sothing he did instinctively, as if to push away the negative and dark mories that lingered in the back of his mind.
"Is sothing wrong?" Sena's voice wavered, her hands trembled while placing one atop Julian's hand. She then stroked his knuckles with a faint smile on her lips.
"No, it appears that our experience levels were synchronised. I just saw the ssage."
[Lover's Capsule Detected: Experience values normalised]
Before entering with Sena, Julian only received enough to be at 10 experience points into level two.
"Ah! I was at 100 out of 200 before, why has it changed to 50?"
"Yeah, it appears that the one who is higher level will lose so experience to help the one who is lower, but the amount of experience we gain is increased, so it's a fair trade."
Julian's mind started working to see if he could use this system to their advantage.
Higher levels needed more experience and if he only switched to play with Sena when one of them just levelled and the other was above halfway. It seed the higher level lost 10% of their experience, but both would have the sa experience.
"See, look at my screen, I was at 10 out of 200 before."
When he leaned forward, his screen appeared and showed what he ant, but when his body pushed against her. Julian could feel Sena's heart racing. He couldn't help but wonder if this was a smart idea because the sensation of her back against his chest was too vivid.
Julian Pendragon • Shadow Mancer (SSSR)
• Level: 2 (90/200)
• HP: 20
• MP: 50
• Attack: 1
• Defence: 3
• Speed: 2
• Magic: 6
• Total: 12 ( 2)
• Command Points: 10
Julian's experience increased by 80 points all because he entered the world in a capsule with Sena, causing him to wonder if he could use this system to level faster.
"Wow, your magic is so high." Sena gasped, pointing at his attributes.
"Your attack is pretty good too, please protect well, princess."
"Hmph, well, if you behave, I will."
The pair spent a few monts showing each other their skills, and Julian told Sena about his abilities and how he would support her from behind and give commands.
He noticed the panther lingering at the edge of the forest and couldn't help but smile.
"Let show you what I can do."
Julian's staff appeared from his inventory, hidden temporarily as it pointed towards the night prowler and a dark aura started to crackle from the staff.
Sena turned around to see Julian's figure while casting his spell, a black and purple aura wrapped around his body and the staff collecting into a volatile orb at the tip of his staff.
"Shadow Bolt!"
He didn't know why, maybe because he could sense the movent of Mana now, which allowed him to control the speed his magic gathered a little faster.
Vwoom
Unaware of the attack, the orb burst from the staff and shot through the air and struck the creature in the chest for 40 damage. The force flung into a tree with a loud thud. Then it faded into a black mist, leaving two small boxes hovering above the ground.
"Wow!"
[◊ Night Prowler—Slain ◊]
• Gained 10 Experience Points
• Gained Panther Pelt
• Gained Panther Fang
Sena looked at Julian, her eyes filled with awe as she walked towards the items left behind.
"Only 10 Experience points?"
Julian wasn't sure what happened. He wondered why it died so easily. Then he realised this monster was much weaker than the nightmare panther.
Night prowlers only gave 10 experience per level and being so low level its HP would have been much lower too.
"I can't believe you can move so well… Maria, who tried to heal and attack, struggled because she needed to dance, haha."
"Hm?"
Julian's eyes focused on Sena, who stood a few tres away.
When he heard Maria could heal, his chest fluttered, and he realised that having a healer would be important in the future.
"Dance?"
"Yeah, she told that she needed to chant the spell na while performing a dance routine. Maria struggled at first but, seems to have started practising on the dance machine we bought at the start of college and never used, haha."
'I wonder if her evolution is a special type of healing class.'
"It would be good to play with her sotis, you have to invite her in the future."
"Eh, why?"
Sena's face seed to beco a little sullen, but Julian couldn't help but tease her a little, as he stepped closer, and showed a faint smile.
"I guess you prefer being naked in the sa capsule, right?"
"Y-You!"
Suddenly, her eyes shifted, and she lowered her hips, grasping her blade and placing it at her waist.
Though she used a two-handed sword, it was thin and lighter than the heavy types.
"W-What are you doing?"
A mont passed.
The rustle of leaves. The faint hum of an unsheathed blade.
A brilliant blue aura flared to life, swirling around Sena's body like flowing water, coiling along the blade.
"Kang School Style – Flowing Swallow Strike!"
Her sword flashed. The first slash ripped across the air in a deadly arc, left to right—a line of blue light that cut as cleanly as it shimred.
Before the glow could fade, her wrist flicked. The blade reversed, sweeping upward in a diagonal slash. The twin arcs ford the shape of a soaring swallow, the aura trailing her strikes like wings in motion, dealing a total of 20 damage.
Swift. Lethal. Beautiful.
Thud!
The next mont, a black panther dropped beside Julian, who remained captivated by the mont Sena perford her family swordsmanship.

Sena took a shallow breath before sheathing her sword and wiping the sweat from her cheek.
