[1 Month Later]
A month had passed.
During that ti, various changes had taken place.
After getting discharged from the hospital that day, he had taken the sleeping Lily back ho.
It was late morning so by the ti he arrived, Katherine had already left.
Lily woke up an hour later and though she had fully recovered physically, there was still a large ntal toll on her.
She might have seen the deaths of slaves like the other ones in the past, but such a large massacre and scene was sothing new for her.
She kept shuddering with fear and held close to him, occasionally breaking up in tears. Late night, when Katherine arrived, for so reason she didn't even ask who she was but as soon as she saw her shuddering with fear and crying, she started to calm her down.
As for his disappearance, it seems that she was already filled in by an excuse from Arthur.
She even fed her food and put her to sleep, all the while not asking Amon a single thing. When the latter engaged her about it, she simply said that she trusted him.
"I trust you. It's not like you would bring a little stranger into our house for no reason would you?" She chuckled.
"So? You want to adopt her?" She asked with a smile.
Amon was taken by surprise at that ti.
He couldn't believe how easily she trusted him and figured it all out.
He had expected it to be much more difficult. Nevertheless, he nodded.
After so talk with his sister about where he found her and what her na was, they completed their decision to adopt her.
Though Katherine suggested that Lily could stay in her room and sleep with her, the latter was very clingy to Amon.
It was surprising because she had never seen his real face.
Regardless, Amon safely put her to sleep on his bed before going to slumber as well.
Even though many events happened on the sideline, the classes proceeded very smoothly and normally.
There was only one surprise for the students which was the return of Arthur Milize, a man who wasn't seen for 2 years.
An assembly was held in the auditorium where he gave a speech and lecture to all the students.
But even though he was the strongest, the students never felt that in his presence.
It was because of the way how he spoke.
As a person who declined the position in the Imperial Court because of how much formal work it was, he had a habit to walk and talk casually.
He talked to a person as if he had known them for years and that was what put others at ease around him.
Especially the students, whom Arthur considered as his children.
During this ti, Amon also further settled himself into this new world he had arrived in and imrsed himself in it.
His friendship with Michael and Ren developed further, with the trio taking several trips to the mall or in other casual activities.
This also helped Michael settle into this casual atmosphere by changing his behavior and how he talked.
That formal air in the Imperial Palace was not around him anymore.
All of them could now talk and behave around each other freely, without any restrictions of formality.
There weren't any interactions with the female mbers of the main cast though.
For their low ranks to interact with their high ranks, they needed a special event which didn't happen.
But even then, the biggest surprise for all of his friends and even his sister was his advancent.
Yes. After the quest, a new clover leaf sprouted on his clover mark,
He was now a 2nd order clovist.
The advancent to a new leaf had made him go through a hell of pain as black fluids were excreted from his body.
They were the impurities in his body. They exuded such a foul stench that he quickly disposed of them as soon as he woke up.
After ranking up, he instantly felt the changes in his body.
He had grown stronger and taller physically, with muscle outlines showing on his body now and his height increasing by an inch.
His mana control and output also improved considerably.
Controlling blood and lightning to do nial tasks was now like the back of his hand.
However, even though others were surprised and happy about it, Amon was still unsatisfied.
Though for them it was a quick improvent, for him it was nothing but a simple
achievent.
Except him, everyone was already 2nd order so his reaching it was nothing special.
It was like a man who learned to speak at the age of 5 and people applauded it when others
already learned to do so at the age of 3.
He needed to grow stronger. And fast.
Not just his goals, it was needed to accomplish Arthur's goals as well.
What's more, was that the world also wasn't patient at all.
Since a month had passed, it was ti for it now.
For the second [Void Training] and also the first main arc of the novel.
Personal training sessions were finally introduced into their classes.
Athena inford them that over this last month and the training that they had done, the teachers had taken several notes about students.
Tomorrow, the teachers inform them about their final decision, as to which students to take
in for their training.
Each teacher could take in as many as 3 students.
And Amon already knew the students that Daniel was going to pick.
They were Elizabeth, Michael, and Aina, a random who used the sa type of magic as him.
He needed to ensure this arc proceeded normally before he could reveal his powers.
It was only after this arc that Michael would start making his first interactions with the four ladies at the front.
For his [Void Training], the notification to attempt had already appeared 5 days ago.
According to Zephyra, he had one week to enter the [Void Training] on his own otherwise after
that it would forcibly drag him in whenever he would sleep.
And there were only 2 days left.
However, Amon doubted that he could do any of these 2 things.
Moving back to the present, he made a big yawn, putting his hand over his mouth before
falling to the table in front of him again.
His eyes slowly closed, trying to drift him to sleep.
However, he suddenly woke up again with a jolt, looking next to him at Michael and Ren.
They both were looking at him as well, with worried gazes.
He had deep and dark circles underneath his eyes.
It was true. He couldn't sleep properly for the whole month.
And that was because he was having nightmares.
Nightmares of his trauma.
