Chapter 1954 Promise

After a two-week separation, Klea returned with her own share of accomplishments. "It may not be as impressive as the master of apothecary... but look at this," she exclaimed, proudly displaying a bronze badge adorned with the insignia of the Formation Institute, indicating that she had achieved the rank 5, junior artisan among formation experts.

Klea demonstrated a new skill, taking out a small piece of paper and deftly engraving symbols with her [Lotus pen]. To Emery amazement, the paper transformed into a miniature paper man, capable of speech and carrying out her commands. Emery couldn't help but feel proud of Klea's remarkable talents.

With a warm smile, she remarked, "Well, after all, my man is a genius master; I really need to keep up." Klea went on to explain that she had received several offers from Formation Masters to serve as their assistant. In the quest to further enhance her skills, she planned to dedicate at least a few weeks to this endeavor.

Emery considered that Klea's plan to learn from another master would be beneficial for her growth, and he was fully supportive of her decision.

"I will mostly spend a few weeks in this city anyway, and also don't worry about Earth," With VIA on standby, overseeing the new base, Emery assured her that they wouldn't encounter any surprises.

"Alright, then, do inform me if there is anything important," Klea responded, her excitement palpable as she prepared to embark on her learning journey. Before she could make her exit, Emery halted her with a mysterious tone, "Well, don't leave yet," inviting her to join him.

Intrigued, Klea's curiosity got the better of her, and she inquired, "A surprise? I love a surprise."

Emery guided Klea to his newly established workshop at the apothecary center. Despite the place being fully operational, it presented an unusual sight – it was empty.

Klea, always quick-witted, remarked, "Great place, but you're not asking me here just to show off, are you?"

Emery's response caught her off guard, "Take off your clothes."

With a playful chuckle, Klea replied, "Really... wow, you are so direct." She began to undress, teasingly revealing her graceful curves, anticipating a moment of seduction. However, her expectation turned into bewilderment when Emery presented her with a suit, stating matter-of-factly, "You can wear this."

[Battle power has increased by 2]

[....]

[Battle power 475 (495)]

Emery eagerly awaited the culmination of the enhancement process, and after half an hour, the notifications ceased. To his delight, he had gained an additional 20 points, a testament to the effectiveness of the pill. Given his existing attributes as a dual halfmoon magus with a rank 9 bloodline, this outcome exceeded his expectations.

However, the real surprise came with Klea's results. Bursting with vitality, she exclaimed,

"I can't believe it!! 44 points!"

[Battle Power 322 (366)]

The unexpected outcome for Klea's enhanced Battle Power left Emery both surprised and intrigued. While the common belief was that a halfmoon magus could gain a maximum of 30 points, even with the bath's effects, Emery had initially set his expectations at 35 points. Pondering the reason for this remarkable result, he couldn't help but recall Master Dulin's earlier remarks about Emery's body—a physique inherited from a lower realm planet, known for its inherent limitations.

The revelation only fueled Emery's excitement, motivating him to replicate the same treatment for his friends.

As the process concluded, Emery prepared to leave the cauldron, but Klea halted him. "You're going to leave just like that?" she questioned.

Emery, taken aback, was met with an unexpected response. Klea forcefully pulled him close and whispered, "Because of you... there is too much energy in me... you need to take responsibility..."

The night unfolded in a fervent display of passion, they cauldron apart, and continue indulging in their desires until all the excess energy was consumed. The intimate connection between them deepened, intertwining their beings in a shared moment of intense affection. Unbeknownst to them, the passage of time escaped their awareness, and a new day had dawned.

Emery's realization struck—he hadn't allocated any time to create the pills he intended. While still enveloped in the warmth of their shared experiences, Klea, with a playful giggle and a radiant smile, remarked, "Thank you for the surprise." She gracefully departed, leaving for the formation study.
