------------------------------------
The moment I saw the panel appearing beside me, a smile bloomed on my face.
'She has finally awakened.'
I thought while looking at the smiling girl behind me.
'To think that the missing piece was that tiny bit of push for her to accept herself.'
Though I don't know what kind of thoughts passed through her head, the hesitation she felt while killing looked different.
It was as if she was first repulsed by the idea of killing; she was now repulsed by herself.
It was just a feeling, but I decided to try it.
And in the end, it paid off.
"Let's go home now. It is pretty late, and we made a quiet commotion."
Saying that I jumped from the roof I was standing onto another one.
"Okay."
And Lirienne was following behind me.
Before she could even realize that, her physical strength got already stronger than before.
'Even though I am limiting my speed to a three-star rank, she is still able to follow me. Good.'
I thought.
If killing a bunch of low-leveled thugs would give a prize to such a thing, then I will gladly take it.
Reaching home, I turned my face to her.
"Do you feel any difference in yourself?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Difference? I don't know."
"Is that so? Let's go to sleep then, we will talk again tomorrow."
Saying that I went to my room.
After taking a shower, I went to sleep.
'Tomorrow, I should focus on training finally.'
That was what I had in my mind.

After Callius went to his room, Lirienne went to her own as well.
After getting rid of her bloody clothes, she went to take a bath.
Different from Callius, she was pretty tired after all that fighting she had done since her strength was lower than his.
Because of that, a warm bath came suited well.
"Do you feel any difference in yourself?"
Remembering what he asked her, she was convinced.
'He knows. He always knew.'
The moment after she killed the man, her mind returned to normal.
And she was able to see the changes inside her body and inside her blessing status window shown to others.
She felt she got stronger a lot.
Though she didn't know much about what her class was going to do and what kind of strengths it had, she was convinced that Callius knew all about this.
'All of his actions make sense now.'
She thought, entering the bathtub.
'Because nobody would take someone like me out of nowhere.'
After living and traveling with him for the past few days, she learned quite a lot about him.
'He is not someone that would bring a girl or any other person with him if it doesn't benefit him.'
Though he had already said that before, in her mind, his actions were quite a mystery.
Since there was no foundation for his actions, and he didn't give her much reasoning either.
But, now, she was truly able to understand.
'Though it doesn't matter.'
However, for her, who hadn't felt someone's warmth for a long amount of time, it was something that didn't matter at all.
'It feels good when I hear his praises.'
She thought while burying today's feelings deeper into her mind while also burying her head into a warm bath.

Waking up early in the morning, I checked on Lirienne and saw she was still sleeping.
'I guess I should train with my sword for a bit.'
With that thought, I started training my body.
Though I will be focusing mainly on my mage class, I don't want to slack off with my body training, either.
Just like that, I started training my body while repeating the same things I had done in the past.
After training with my body for a while, I felt Lirienne watching me, though I didn't pay any attention to her for the time being, and she also didn't have any intentions of alerting me either.
Though in the end, we need work to do.
"Awake, now?"
I asked after deeming my training enough.
"Yes."
"Are you ready to get stronger then?"
"Get stronger?"
"Yes. Let me ask you one thing."
"….."
"Do you trust me?"
"What?"
"By now, you should already have gotten your thoughts straight, right?"
"….Yes."
"Then, what do you think? Will you keep following me? Since you have already seen the changes in yourself, you should know that I know a lot about you, right?"
"I know. It is your eyes, isn't it?"
"Heh…. It seems you are not that stupid."
"…."
"…."
Throwing me a quick glare, she asked:
"Will you give me more strength?"
"I will."
"….."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough she was silent, I could already see the trust she had in me.
'Don't play it hard to get.'
"I trust you."
In the end, the answer came not long after.
"Then, grab these."
Grabbing the two daggers I had thrown at her; she looked into my eyes.
"What?"
"You are way talented at using daggers rather than using swords. You should have felt that too."
Though I didn't know much about this, I thought her using daggers in the game was also related to her class.
"You are right again…."
"I am."
Looking at the daggers in her hand, she looked at me.
"How will we train?"
And asked.
"We will spar."
"Spar."
"Yes. If you felt the thing I am thinking right now, then you will eventually get better at it. Though I haven't used daggers too much, I will do my best to guide you."
"I see."
She mumbled.
/SWOOSH/ /CLANK/
Though just as she was thinking about that, I reappeared beside her, attacking.
"Wa-"
Before she could say anything more, the sword in my hand started attacking her again and again.
'This is also good for me. I can use these spars to train my magic as well.'
Thinking like that, we started sparring.
Which would be our routine for the remaining time until the academy started….
-----------------A/N------------------
Lirienne has completed her awakening arc, which was a crucial journey for her given her future role and evolving relationship with Callius. The length of the arc was necessary to ensure she was fully prepared for what's to come.
So I hope you weren't that bored.
Now, it will be a short time skip then the academy arc will start.
