After seeing Michael leave, Tatsuma did not leave with him.
Taking out the two fruits he had just received, he thought for a moment and threw them into his mouth.
[Detected external energy, convert to Red trait?]
[Detected external energy, convert to Red trait?]
Two notification sounds rang out consecutively, and Tatsuma chose to convert both.
The next second, two brand new red traits appeared before him.
[Life Fruit (Red): Training effect +500%, greatly increases Life Force, greatly increases physical stats.]
[Wisdom Fruit (Red): Training effect +500%, greatly increases Mental Force, greatly increases Soul Strength.]
"Not bad."
The Life Fruit and Wisdom Fruit correspond to the body and soul respectively, and can directly increase combat power. In addition, these two traits come with a training effect increase, benefiting both daily life and combat.
Equipping the two new traits, Tatsuma prepared to go home and continue training.
However, just then, he found that the isolation barrier he had set up outside Kuoh Town had been triggered by someone.
At the same time, a ding sound rang out.
Realizing what had happened, Tatsuma took out his phone and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was a message from Le Fay.
[Le Fay: Are you there?]
[Le Fay: I got the Time Magic, and I also got some other things.]
[Le Fay: I'm waiting for you at the usual spot.]
Outside Kuoh Town, in the magic practice space.
Le Fay tilted her head, looking around with some confusion.
Not a blade of grass grew, it was desolate and ruined. The ground was covered in cracks and craters, and a cold current drifted in the air.
Compared to when she taught magic here a week ago, this place had changed into a different scene.
Releasing her magic power to sense, Le Fay could feel a dense magic residue in the air. This magic was roughly divided into two parts.
One stream of magic was very unfamiliar, while the other came from Tatsuma.
"Tatsuma is working so hard." Le Fay sighed softly.
In her opinion, this should be the trace left behind by Tatsuma practicing magic with someone. Even though he's already so strong, he's still constantly working hard in private.
This spirit is truly moving.
Whoosh!
Just then, a cool breeze carrying a hint of chill blew from not far away.
Le Fay's nose twitched, and she suddenly smelled a special scent.
"...Heather?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Le Fay's eyes.
After being bombarded by magic within the isolation barrier, there were no plants left. Given that, where did this scent of heather come from?
Following the direction the wind came from, Le Fay looked towards a corner not far away.
It was only then that she noticed that in an inconspicuous corner, there was a house built of wood. From the magic fluctuations remaining on it, this exquisitely crafted small wooden house should have been created by someone using magic two hours ago.
Following the principle of curious exploration, Le Fay flew to the front of the small wooden house and peeked inside.
The next moment, a figure with twin ponytails, lying naked on the bed, came into view.
"Huh?" Le Fay's pupils shook wildly, feeling shocked.
Le Fay had received an elite education since she was young. Precisely because of this, she knew very well what the scene before her meant.
Similarly, she also realized that what she had just smelled was not heather, but...
"I-I should have known better than to come and look."
Le Fay shyly withdrew her gaze, preparing to leave before being discovered.
However, just as she turned around, a familiar figure came into view.
"Huh?! Tatsuma?!"
"There's no need to be so shocked, is there? Didn't you call me over?"
Tatsuma came to the front of the small wooden house and pulled open the door. "Want to come in for a visit? My place is quite big."
"Don't joke."
"Your girlfriend seems to be sleeping, let's talk somewhere else."
After stammering out her refusal, Le Fay activated magic and flew into the air.
Seeing Le Fay flee in a panic, Tatsuma shrugged and peeked into the house. "If you're awake, stop pretending to sleep."
Serafall opened her eyes and pouted her lips with some displeasure. "You're so annoying."
"What's going on with her? Could it be a woman you found outside?"
Tatsuma said, "Don't look like a resentful woman, Le Fay and I just have some transactions."
Serafall asked, "A secret space where no one disturbs, a single man and woman meeting in private, a physical transaction?"
"You should be glad her brother didn't follow today, otherwise you two would definitely fight."
Tatsuma rolled his eyes, waved goodbye, and flew into the air, chasing in the direction Le Fay had left.
Seeing both of them leave, the resentful expression on Serafall's face vanished, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.
Actually, her reaction just now was all an act. As soon as Le Fay appeared within this barrier, she had already woken up and noticed her.
"Le Fay Pendragon, I remember she defected from Golden Dawn not long ago and disappeared with her brother. Why would she appear here?"
Staring in the direction Tatsuma and Le Fay left for a while, Serafall withdrew her gaze and lied down again.
Since things have come to this, let's sleep first.
At the same time.
On an open space a thousand meters away, Tatsuma created a new small wooden house using Senjutsu and Magic.
Following Tatsuma into the small wooden house and sitting down, Le Fay took out a book and a stack of materials from her storage space.
"Tatsuma, this is Time Magic and some materials researching Time energy. Read it first, and ask me if there's anything you don't understand."
"No problem, just a moment."
Tatsuma took the book and research materials, opened the first page, and quickly read through them.
