Academy’s Curse Champion 46

Chapter 46 – 45. Creak, Creak.

A private training room provided to the academy’s top students.

There, Aris was telling Arthur various things to help him.

“Now that it’s vacation, let’s increase our mana as much as possible before the next semester starts.”

“Yes!”

Arthur responded to Aris’ words with an expectant expression, and Aris started talking about her from the basics.

“First of all, let’s talk about the amount of mana…”

“In the case of ordinary people, they grow to a certain extent even without doing anything special… In your case, you have been weak since you were young, right? So the mana amount is very low.”

Arthur, who had a complex about having a low mana amount, quickly became sullen after Aris’ explanation.

“You don’t have to make that face, there are two ways to increase your mana!”

“Really?”

In her heart, Arthur was worried that it was too late, but when Aris spoke with a confident expression, her eyes brightened again.

“Let’s start with the first method… You know that mana gathers in the heart, right? That’s why they say she is a mana heart.”

“Yes, I know that.”

“Then what do you think I should do to store a lot of mana in the heart?”

“Hmm. Shouldn’t I have a strong heart?”

When Arthur thought about it again, she thought that her answer was too simple, so she felt embarrassed and her face turned red, but contrary to her expectations, Aris looked satisfied with Arthur’s answer.

“That’s correct! So what do you think I should do to make my heart stronger?”

“It’s ‘exercise.’ In other words, if you exercise and train your body, your heart will become stronger, right? Then, you can see the effect of increasing your mana amount to some extent even without separate mana training.”

Arthur seemed to have come to her understanding after hearing Aris’ explanation.

“Ah.! That’s why you said earlier that ordinary people’s mana increases to a certain extent. Normally, physical abilities would naturally increase as one becomes an adult.”

“On the other hand, my body was very weak since I was young, so my mana amount was very low.”

“Well. You don’t have to worry about that anymore. Now you will feel your mana well, and if you exercise, your physical strength will grow quickly.”

“And in the past, taking potions didn’t work, right? Now that that has been fixed, you will be able to see the effects properly in the future.”

The last thing Aris said about potions was something Arthur had just heard for the first time, so her eyes widened.

“Really? So now, when you get hurt, you can get better just by taking a recovery potion like everyone else?”

When Arthur asked again with an expression of disbelief, Aris nodded her head as a sign of approval.

“I see… So I’ve become normal to some extent like everyone else?”

A weak body that is insensitive to mana, does not increase stamina, and does not even receive the effects of potions properly.

The three things I just mentioned were the shackles that had tormented Arthur all his life, and Arthur, who thought he would never be able to escape, looked at Aris with an emotional expression on his face at the thought that he was now free.

“It’s all thanks to you, Aris.”

Aris also turned her gaze to see Arthur looking at her with his lovely face.

“Hey. It’s nothing? And stop saying thank you! From now on, it’s really important, so focus!”

Aris looked embarrassed for a moment, but then her expression became serious, and she continued explaining about Mana.

“Anyway! The first method I mentioned earlier is not very efficient for you to use right now. Because although your body was weak, your mana was not as low as your body was weak.”

“To put it simply, your mana amount right now is much less than your body is weak. “If the difference in body and mana levels were expressed in numbers, I think it would be about 10 times.”

Well… If you look at Arthur’s status window, his magic power is 1 and other abilities are 10, so you can say it’s for sure.

But Aris says of her own, what does it matter to Arthur? She felt the same look on her face, and she added an explanation.

“I told you earlier that if your heart gets stronger, your mana will increase, right? To elaborate on this part… When you train, your heart becomes stronger, and the mana flowing from that heart strengthens your body. As these three things are repeated, a synergistic effect is enjoyed.”

“Arthur, even if you train, your muscles won’t grow properly because the mana in your heart is too low. Actually, normal people don’t need to worry about this, but you’re not in an ordinary situation right now, are you?”

“Then what should I do?”

Seeing Arthur asking very nervously, Aris smiled and answered.

“So I’m going to tell you the second method!”

“The way is… That’s right…! It’s mana training!!”

“…?”

“It’s so sudden that I don’t understand. Can you explain in detail?”

“Oh, sorry. The problem now is that the body and mana level do not match, right? So, all you have to do is train your mana and increase the amount of mana until the amount of mana and your body are in balance. How is it simple?”

“I see!! Then how do you practice mana?”

At Arthur’s words, Aris extended her hand to Arthur, and at the same time began sending blue mana into the air from her hand.

“Just pull out all the mana from your heart and send it out like this. Then, you will fall into mana exhaustion, but as you recover, your mana amount will increase significantly unlike before. Of course, this method can only be used in the beginning. “I have to increase it in other ways later.”

“Isn’t mana exhaustion dangerous?”

“It’s dangerous to do it while fighting an enemy, but usually, if you get mana exhaustion, all you do is faint for half a day and then wake up, so it’s okay if you do it in a safe place. And in the past, your body was so weak that it was dangerous, but now that your constitution has changed to normal, you will be fine. If the situation arises, I will be by your side.”

“Then shall we get started right away? Since the vacation is about two months, it would be a good idea to be diligent from now on.”

“Yes. I understand!”

“Then, even if you fall, I will be by your side to catch you, so let’s try releasing the mana first.”

As Aris spoke, Arthur closed his eyes and began to concentrate, and a very small amount of mana was seen coming out of Arthur’s hands.

Normally, it takes quite a long time just to recognize mana… After all, a genius is a genius… Did it take me a week? I think it took a month including moving the mana…

After a while, Arthur’s entire body was covered in sweat, as if he had lost all his mana, and he closed his eyes and collapsed into Aris’ arms.

“Luckily, my breathing isn’t a problem, and I think I’ll be fine as long as I sleep well.”

After checking on her condition, Aris lifted Arthur into her princess arms, then went to Arthur’s dormitory and laid him on her bed.

“… “

Now that I think about it, if I do this in the morning, Arthur won’t be able to wake up until the evening, so we will spend less time together… I don’t know how long I have left, and if I want to spend a lot of time with Arthur, I should have him practice mana in the evening so that it overlaps with his sleep time.

ㅡPage.

Aris kissed the sleeping Arthur’s forehead and then left her room.

“From now on, she will have to continue to build memories with Arthur… Because even if I am gone, Arthur will have to continue living.”

Aris felt bitter, but she only thought positively. Because she’s already spilled the water.

…

A few days passed, and since there were no classes, Aris and Arthur, who live in the dormitory, ended up living similar daily lives.

We woke up in the morning, had a meal together, and in the morning, we left the academy and spent time on a regular date, wandering around the streets of the capital, going to delicious restaurants and seeing famous places.

In the evening, even though Arthur could not increase her mana significantly, her basic physical strength was important, so she steadily trained and practiced swordsmanship, and before going to sleep, she practiced her mana next to Aris.

Arthur felt the greatest happiness in this ordinary life, but recently she thought that Aris was strange.

Because these days, Aris never leaves her side. Of course, she didn’t like it, she actually liked it, but she often felt the same feeling of nervousness from Arthur whenever she saw her.

There was a time when she asked if something was wrong because she seemed to be trying to increase the time he spent with her as much as possible, but Aris just brushed it off, saying it was just her mood.

There was one part of her that pricked Arthur as well as her. Ever since those women attacked her, she has never had a night out with Aris. It wasn’t that she didn’t like Aris or anything, but because trying to do it made her feel uncomfortable, and her anxiety symptoms got worse. She also apologized to Aris and said she didn’t mind if she didn’t do it, but…

“That can’t be possible. Aris has such a strong sex drive.”

She could only guess that perhaps he was not able to satisfy her sexual desires and instead, he continued to be by her side to make up for it with his emotional side.

…

“Haa…”

It’s nice that she spends a lot of time with Arthur. But what if it becomes more unbearable every day.

In the past, Aris didn’t have to stress because she used Arthur periodically to release him, but recently, it’s been a while since she hasn’t done so, and she feels like she’s about to explode.

“Huh? Aris, what’s wrong?”

“Ah. Arthur, perhaps.”

No… Let’s not make it difficult for no reason. It must be traumatic for Arthur, but there’s no need to bring up painful memories for her.

“It’s nothing, let’s start now?”

“Yes.”

With her answer, Arthur began to train her, and as usual, she lost her senses and collapsed in Aris’s arms.

Since the mana training was done in Arthur’s room, Aris immediately laid Arthur down on the bed.

ㅡGlance.

Aris’ gaze was directed to a part of Arthur who was lying down.

“Am I crazy.?”

I’m going to sleep in my room today. If I sleep next to Arthur, I think I’ll have a big accident.

You just have to endure it a little longer anyway.

Just a little more.

Wait a minute.?

How much more.?

1 week? 2 weeks?

Or a month?

Maybe it could be a year?

But I might die tomorrow…?

When I die, won’t Arthur regret not being able to do it for me?

Yes. You will definitely regret it.

And even though I spent so much of my life, I can do this much.

I should be compensated too… I get it cheaply, so even Arthur can’t say anything.

Aris turned her body and went next to Arthur, who was lying down.

“Arthur, are you sleeping?”

She called quite loudly, but Arthur was fast asleep, and she didn’t wake up.

ㅡShake, shake.

Aris grabbed Arthur’s shoulders with both of her hands and started shaking her roughly.

“… Arthur.! It’s very urgent, wake up quickly!!”

But of course, Arthur, who was suffering from mana exhaustion, ‘could not’ wake up from her sleep.

-Gulp.

Anyway, if Arthur doesn’t notice, it doesn’t matter, right? As long as you take care of it properly…

“This is the last time, Arthur. “I don’t know what will happen if I don’t wake up now, right?”

After confirming that Arthur would never wake up, Aris could not hold back any longer, and the sound of her undressing and undressing could be heard in her room.

“… “

ㅡSqueak, creak, creak, creak.

That day, the sound of the bed creaking echoed in Arthur’s room all morning.
