"Ouw!"

Floriana Sabina smacked her fan on Veia's head once more. She then looked at Veia coldly.

"Stop seducing him."

Veia dropped down her shoulders after hearing Floriana Sabina's words. Her lust quickly died down after knowing that she won't be able to achieve anything right now.

"So, what happened to you, Disciple?"

Floriana Sabina asked Rant Valo. She wanted to know why he suddenly suffered a Mana Backlash.

"Uh… I tried out my cultivation technique against you, Master Floriana, and you said that it didn't work. But I still felt my mana being drained. Then I suddenly coughed out blood. I felt like my insides were rammed by a bull."

Rant Valo raised his head in thought as he explained to them.

"Hmmm… that is odd. The only thing I can think of is that your magic technique actually worked on me and the restrictive feeling I felt on my core was the effect of the magic technique."

Floriana Sabina held her chin in thought. She could still remember the restrictive feeling on her core just a few minutes ago.

"Ah! It was my fault…"

Floriana Sabina suddenly realized. When she broke that feeling of restraint on her mana, it was when Rant Valo coughed out blood. Knowing this, her heart felt heavy.

"..."

Rant Valo's cheeks twitched. He sighed and looked away. Good thing that she managed to heal his core, otherwise he would have become a cripple for life.

"I'm sorry, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina apologized with a downcast expression. She felt like a failure as Rant Valo's master.

"It's okay, Master Floriana. I'm already healed."

Rant Valo stood up and comforted her with a smile. He was already healed and it would only be a waste of time if they continued dwelling on it.

"Disciple…"

Floriana Sabina's heart warmed after hearing Rant Valo's words. She was glad to have such an understanding disciple.

"I'll try out the other magic techniques then."

Rant Valo informed her before he sat down and closed his eyes. After all, he still needed to learn all of the magic techniques so that he could use them in the competition.

"Mm."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head. Her disciple is really hard working. Even when he just suffered an accident, he immediately went back to cultivating.

Rant Valo did a breathing cycle to relax his body. He was glad that his cultivation was still intact. If he truly lost it earlier, he didn't know what he would do.

Listed for the 3rd Mana Condensation stage, Fortune Boost. It boosts the luck of someone it was bestowed to.

Rant Valo circulated his mana in a circle inside his body before pushing it all into his right hand. It stayed there, waiting for him to touch someone and bestow the Fortune Boost.

"Veia, come here."

Rant Valo opened his eyes and beckoned Veia. Veia moved closer to Rant Valo, and she sat in front of him.

"What is it, Master?"

Veia tilted her head in puzzlement.

"I'll try out my magic technique on you, okay?"

Rant Valo informed her.

"Yes! Do as you please, Master. This servant of yours will do anything for you!"

Veia replied and straightened her back. She was proud to do this for her master. Her life and heart are already his, after all.

"Alright, here I go."

Rant Valo nodded his head solemnly. He brought his hand closer and grasped Veia's arm.

"Fortune Boost!"

Rant Valo shouted briefly. His hands glowed with white light before the mana entered Veia's body.

"Ah~!"

Veia felt a warm energy enter her arm and into her body. It was a pleasurable sensation and she couldn't hold back her moan.

"Stop making weird noises."

Rant Valo smiled wryly as he felt his little brother stand in attention after hearing Veia's moan.

"It just felt good, Master…"

Veia's eyes were starting to change the way she looked at Rant Valo. Her inner succubus was starting to surface once again.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you guys doing?"

Floriana Sabina opened her eyes and stood up. She approached them and looked at both of them.

"I tried my new magic technique on her."

Rant Valo replied to her.

"Huh, 'magic technique' you say. Hmph! Lewd demon!"

Floriana Sabina looked at them suspiciously. But since she couldn't really see them doing anything weird, she could only snort before leaving them alone.

This time, when Floriana Sabina closed her eyes to cultivate, she used her Divine Sense to watch them. It was not like she was worried that they would do something lewd or anything!

Rant Valo observed Veia. There was nothing different about her even when he used his magic technique on her.

"Veia, do you feel anything weird?"

Rant Valo asked her in curiosity. He wanted to know if she felt something weird from the magic technique he used on her.

"Y-Yes…"

Veia fidgeted her arms together as she shyly responded to him.

"Wait, you do!? Where?"

Rant Valo asked in excitement. He was curious how this 'Fortune Boost' actually works.

"I-Inside…"

Veia pointed at her crotch shyly. She clamped her legs in shyness.

"..."

Rant Valo didn't know why but he had the urge to smack her on the head with Floriana Sabina's fan.

"M-Master?"

Veia raised her head and looked at Rant Valo with provocative eyes.

"So you don't feel anything? Okay."

Rant Valo ignored her and closed his eyes once more. She was not gonna be of help to him at this point.

"Master closed his eyes on me..."

Veia pouted after seeing Rant Valo ignore her. She stood up, but just as she stood up, she tripped on her legs.

"Ahh!"

Veia fell towards Rant Valo and she pushed him down before her lips accidentally touched his. Veia was frozen as she widened her eyes in shock.

Rant Valo opened his eyes and looked at her in shock. She just kissed him so suddenly. Rant Valo pushed her away before opening his mouth.

"W-What are you doing, Veia?"

Rant Valo's heart beat fast as he asked Veia. He thought that she did it on purpose, and she even stole his first kiss!
