She had refined all her spells on her own. She recognized, without a doubt, that Amon had been instrumental in this process. Without his help, achieving such a result would have been impossible. However, even knowing this, she felt deeply grateful and proud of the man who had assisted her so much, even leading her to a state of enlightenment.
Amon, always a man of few words but with deep emotions, had a special way of expressing himself. He had interrupted his meditation and stood up, walking towards Julia. Seeing him approach and hearing his words, Julia's face lit up with a genuine smile. "Congratulations on your growth!" he said.
The intensity of the training was evident in Julia's clothes, which were damp with sweat. She wore one of Amon's shirts, which due to the moisture, outlined some of her physical features.
"Thank you, Amon," replied Julia, her eyes meeting his. There was a sparkle of happiness and satisfaction in her gaze, though there was also a hint of shyness.
Getting up, Julia asked, "Can I use your bathroom?"
"Of course, go ahead," Amon replied, indicating the direction with a gesture. Julia leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, then swiftly headed to the bathroom.
Amon, with an amused smile, watched her walk away. After a moment of reflection, he decided he needed a shower as well. Not for any 'improper' intent, but because he had commitments and didn't want to be late.
Entering the bathroom, Amon began to undress.
Julia, upon seeing him, seemed momentarily breathless and murmured, "Amon..."
"I decided to take a shower too, is that okay?" Amon responded.
"Yes... Sure~" Julia's voice sounded slightly shaky, and with the steam from the water, it was hard to discern her expression, but it was likely her cheeks were flushed.
With an engaging smile, Amon stepped closer. After some time, both emerged from the bathroom with glowing, rejuvenated skin.

Later that day, Amon found himself in the basement where the facilities for the special class were located. Although he wasn't particularly thrilled about attending this class, he recognized the benefits it would bring him. Otherwise, he would prefer the regular lessons with the other university students.
"Professor Taiga truly has profound knowledge," murmured Lara, seated next to Amon, casting him a brief glance. "That's why everyone is so excited to hear that he'll share a new spell and his perspective on it."
"Mm, I see that," replied Amon, giving her a quick look before focusing back on the professor.
Lara, noticing Amon's indifference, just smiled gently and redirected her attention to Professor Taiga.
Professor Taiga, sensing everyone's attention, began, "Today, I will introduce to you the 'Ascending Lightning Spell'. This spell is not merely a manifestation of electric energy, but a deep understanding of the volatile and powerful nature of lightning."
He paused, allowing his words to settle. "When casting this spell, it's not just about invoking lightning but understanding and channeling its essence. Lightning is swift, unpredictable, and devastating. Thus, when using this spell, it's essential to be in tune with these characteristics, allowing the energy to flow through you, but without letting it overpower you."
"Practicing this spell requires discipline and focus. However, once mastered, its power is unparalleled. Remember, lightning is a force of nature, and by channeling it, you too become a force to be reckoned with."
The way Professor Taiga expressed himself made many students' eyes shine with admiration.
It was evident that the vast majority, if not all, held him in esteem, or at least appreciated his lessons.
The class proceeded for almost an hour. During this time, Amon could perceive the depth of the professor's knowledge. At one point, a significant portion of the students reached a state of enlightenment.
Amon, using the rune [Boundless Heart], also achieved this state.
No one seemed surprised by this; it was as if it was something expected.
"As expected, he's talented..." Lara whispered. She was one of the few who hadn't yet reached the state of enlightenment. However, after a few moments, she closed her eyes, as if being enveloped by the energy emanating from Amon.
