When the night arrived, Emery once again took advantage of his time to practice. As usual, he concentrated on his [Nature Grasp], the skill he always depended on when he cultivated.
The skill allowed him to better sense the energy of living things around him. Ever since he arrived on this planet, he did cultivate with it a few times before.
He found a place with such high nature like Ouroboros to give him better results, however, at this moment when he used the skill, as it turned out, Emery was able to absorb the natural force at a more rapid pace than previously.
Not only that, when he channeled those energies from his nature core toward the dark core through the bridge, he found it much more soothing than before.
Within just a few hours Emery felt refreshed and all those painful tests were being flushed out of his system.
Suddenly a notification came to mind.
[Spirit force increased]
The message made him very happy after all this only mean that he finally reach the final step to his breakthrough
[Spirit force 999]
At this unexpected change, he began to believe if this had something to do with his Fey bloodline upgrade.
Emery gave a slight smile for all the surprises he received with his upgrade. He could only hope it wouldn't be too hard to upgrade himself to rank 9 acolytes.
Either way, there was only a little more than a month until the mid-test of the Magus Academy were to take place. Due to the fact that the date was approaching, Emery attempted to make the most of his remaining free time and hoped to reach rank 9 by then.
The test was supposed to be a very important event. Emery had to give it his all on the day of the test since it would have a significant impact on his overall performance at the academy.
He could only hope that the matter with the 12 bloodlines would have been settled by that time.
Come to think about it. It had been more than three weeks since the queen had promised that the matter would be solved, but up to this point, it seems to still have not been resolved.
Emery had been too busy with his training and the gene treatment that he had nearly completely forgotten about this matter.
Maybe he should inquire about this matter first thing in the morning tomorrow and ask if there were any updates.
If it was not possible, he needed to at least pay a visit to the White Fang clan and check if there was anything he could do to help.
Emery was also curious as to what the chief would think, if he found out that now he had already risen to the eighth rank.
He could not keep a smile off his face thinking how the Wolf Clan would be incredibly surprised.
On the other hand, realizing he was stronger than he had been before, he could only hope that he would be able to help in the restoration of the White Fang Clan's prestige.
However, right now he should return to his training.
Emery was so focused on his practice and thoughts that he didn't realize how many hours had passed and the morning had come. A split second after that, someone knocked on the door.
The one who knocked on the door was Genette. She had arrived in Emery's room, with a few of the servants accompanying her.
"What is it, Gennette?"
"Master, I came to bring some clean clothes for your occasion today," she explained.
"Occasion?" In fact, Emery was a little perplexed because, as far as he could recall, he had never instructed her to prepare anything specifically for him.
In response to Emery's query, the young servant replied, "Yes master, I am sorry I overheard your conversation yesterday. I know you have a plan to go out with the princess today, so I took the liberty to prepare some stuff for you."
When he heard what the girl had just said, Emery could only be stunned. Afterwards, he shifted his attention to the servants, who were standing close to the beautiful servant and holding a lot of stuff in their hands.
It was only at this moment he noticed the servants had brought more than just clothes. They had also brought a pair of boots, gloves and many different kinds of grooming products.
"No, no, Gennette. These won't be necessary," Emery quickly said and refused to use all the stuff in a polite manner.
The beautiful servant, on the other hand, only smiled at him and said, "Please master, believe me, you will need them."
"No, I won't. We are just going to buy stuff."
The beautiful servant gave a sincere smile and continued, "Master, I assure you it's more than that to the princess…"
This kind of thought just served to make Emery think that it's better to go in the way he was right now. He didn't want Silva to be misunderstood, but Gennette came close to him and whispered,
"I am a sorry master, but you… stink."
This word quickly made Emery start smelling himself. It was true that all the gene testing did major changes in his garments.
Gennette added with an apologetic smile.
"Also… master… I am just worried that the princess would be properly dressed and fully prepared. If you go like this, it will only make her sad or make others think badly of her, thinking her going with such… hmm… lowlifes."
"..."
Genette once again apologizes for her harsh word, the girl really tries hard to help him, but seems unsure if what she did was proper.
Emery reconsider and thought what she said does make sense. Gennette was finally able to convince him.
In the end, everything was done with care, from a special bath, grooming his hair, to special clothes and perfume.
Emery found it strange seeing the servant was taking out perfume for him. He looked at the male servant with a skeptical expression, as if he were refusing to use it. The servant, on the other hand, responded,
"Yes master, this is necessary. Although the serpent makes the best potions, our trading specialty was actually perfume."
Emery could only resign himself to the fact that he would have to rely on the servant to take care of him at the time being. He didn't realize it actually took the whole hour to finish the preparations. By the time he was ready, there was a commotion and a servant notified Emery to go outside.
A beautiful young lady with white hair and a stunning silver dress was waiting for him in the garden when he got there. Just like what Gennette had said earlier, Silva was well prepared and her appearance was absolutely stunning.
