Chapter 20: Vera Lucas Is Smug, But I'm 3rd Circle? by Harem-Fan

     Yesterday, Wednesday evening, Rebeca came home, and provided me with love, and her wifely duties. And now, with Friday coming upon us tomorrow, I am now solidifying another breakthrough.

     Why am I making another breakthrough in only 2 and a half weeks? Because the first 3 Circles are the beginner levels, and the smoothest to advance, but Circles 4-6 are  much longer, and Circles 7-9 are the hardest to overcome all by huge magnitudes.

     That is why Freya, a genius is only circle 7 after a hundred years. So when I reach Circle 4, it will take much longer to advance, etc etc...

     And yes, Milly Grove is average in talent, and that is why I will be equal to an average 3rd year student of Rosecrans. rebeca is a genius, and sometime this year, she will become a 6th Circle Dark Healer.

     Hell, that pretty guy, George Lion, the 3rd year in Royal Knight Academy, just reached 6th Circle Knight, according to Rebeca who saw him during their joint exercise. Granted, Knights advance a smidge faster than spellcasters...@@novelbin@@

     So, with the elements of Water and Electricity, flowing in thicker amounts than before, I rotated all of the energy into my body, like a vortex, eating all of those Elements from the air, draining all of the low level Beast Cores in the receptacles...

     Thud Thud Thud, Buzz! At that moment, the elements in the air solidified in my heart, and I could feel the Magic Core became denser, and a hair strand-thicker again, successfully becoming a 3rd Circle Summoner!

     "Phew, Dammit, that was much harder than I thought. Well, it will take me a few months to reach Circle 4, and then I will gain a second Summoned Monster. I hope I get something bad-ass, and not that damn Circle 9, Evil Loli warned me about..."

     While I was daydreaming about summoning a badass Dragon, I pulled out the 3rd Circle Summoner books, and did my work of mentally engraving the 3 spells onto my blank Magic Core 3rd layer...

-

     And after 2 hours of hard work, I successfully learned my 3rd Circle spells...

     [Cure Mental Fatigue], Well, I mentioned this one before, it is what Rebeca uses to keep our minds refreshed from long and mentally taxing stress. This is mainly used to restore our Summons to peak mental health. Though, your body is unaffected, it just clears your brain of mental stress.

     [Swap Positions], This was the one I most wanted, the ability to instantly swap positions with Freya. As long as I can see her, even at long range, we can trade spots, this is a life saver.

     [Buff Summons], This is the strongest Buff Spell of all of the Spellcasting classes, because it raises the strength of the Summoned Monster by 1 Circle for a few minutes, roughly 1-minute per Summoner's Circle level. So for example... Freya is a 7th Circle Mage, and would not gain new spells, but her Magic would hit as hard as an 8th Circle Mage would. Now imagine how insane Falbium the Dracolich, already a 9th Circle Undead Dragon, would be as a Quasi-10th Circle!

     I shuddered at imagining Evelina standing on the head of a giant Skeletal Dragon, razing a country to the ground while laughing with her backhand covering her mouth!

-

     Leaving my training room, I realized it was very late, so I quietly made my way into bed with Rebeca, and kissed her goodnight.

     She only smiled gently, and the two of us fell asleep...

-

     Friday morning, while in my [Physical Training] class, we were running a 10 mile jog, but as Humans with Magic Cores, this was no issue at all. I could easily sprint and clear this run, but...

     My lewd-eyes are gazing upon the 20 or so bouncing beauties running ahead of me.

     What?! My wives told me to not sleep around, but looking is no harm at all. I can still appreciate the form of cute women, bouncing, hehe!

     "Soooo Disgusting! You are a real pervert..."

     Okay, I deserved this criticism from Vera, sigh...

     "Hello dear Princess, how is your run today?"

     "Well, I am impressed you did not lie about your scoundrel ways. My run is very easy, as is yours. I see you have not even broken a sweat..."

     I shrugged and told her.

     "Elementary Knight school had us do this every day, regardless of the Path we trained in. So I only take this class for warming up."

     "And to lick us with your eyes?"

     When I looked sideways, I saw her with a smug smile on her face, daring me to lie. I shrugged, because sadly, she is right. She then got confident and said to me,

     "Just so you know, in a few days when the Tournament starts, I have already reached the middle stage of 2nd Circle, and now can heal Doll of his injuries. So do not think I will be easy to beat."

     I asked my burning question, and also just realized, are we friends now?!

     "Ever since we first met, you have been really irritated with me, do you see me as a rival or something? I had not noticed till now, that you always challenge me?"

     Her eyes opened, like I insulted her.

     "Rival?! Who is your rival? No, I just don't like that my Father is always talking about you to me, it pisses me off... He is comparing the two of us all the time... My Mother told me I am not allowed to let you beat me, okay..."

     Sam Roland: ????????

     Did she just not say we are Rivals indirectly?!

     And now, she is glaring at me while running, and all of a sudden, I just realized, she is cute in an angry-hamster kind of way!

     Oops, my smile just pissed her off, whatever. She then changed the subject and said what she wanted.

     "Sam Roland, you are my only obstacle to my happiness... Please let me win 1st place..."

     Ah, What the fuck? Why would the proud Princess try and rig the fight? Seeing my confusion, Vera said quietly to me.

     "At the Fall Festival Tournament, the 1st place overall winner, will receive a request from the King. As long as the request is not out of line, the kingdom will grant it. I want to use this agreement to make it so I do not have to be married off politically. My Mother has chosen a few men I am not satisfied with."

     Oh! Maybe this is why Evil Loli wants me to win first place, probably to get some gold or something? I said to Vera.

     "Well, that is a bit of a problem, because my life was threatened by a very scary person, if I do not win 1st, she will make my life a living hell."

     Vera hearing me say I would fight her hard for 1st place, made her almost tear up, but when I said my next words, she stopped running.

     "But... Even though I cannot let you win 1st place, I can use my request to cancel your arranged marriages. I do not need anything from the King anyway. I only need to win 1st place-?"

     I had just noticed Vera was missing from my side, so I turned to look, and she stood there in a daze, just wide-eyed looking at me. I ran back and asked.

     "What is wrong Princess? Are you alright?"

     She started to run again, because others were looking, and she asked me.

     "You can gain wealth, noble status, magic items of great power, land, and many more things with that promise, why use it on me?"

     I shrug and said honestly.

     "What do I need? I have everything I could ever want. And you seem to need this very much, so... I will feel less guilty for taking 1st place. Like I said, I only need to win this. But you, you will be unhappy for the rest of your life if I do not help you, right?"

     Vera Lucas looks sideways at me funny, not able to understand me, and she sighs.

     "Sigh, Thank you Sam Roland, but... I still want to win on my own, or I may feel indebted to you."

     "Meh, If you win, I am screwed, but if I win, just be a bit nicer to me, okay?"

     She looks pissed and argues.

     "What do you mean, be nicer, I am very nice to you, jerk?!"

     I grin and ask her.

     "Really, kiting a Demonic Beast to my group when we first met? All your comments, well, the pervert comment I deserved."

     Her face stiffened remembering our first meeting, and she said with a softer tone.

     "I was just using that to meet you, and see why my Father liked you... I brought that knight to kill it if you were really in danger, sorry... Okay, if you win, then, I will be nicer."

     "Then, we have an agreement, may the best Summoner win."

     "Humph, pervert..."

     And soon, our school-day ended, and the portal down would be opened to visit home, to see our family...

-

     Outside the portal center, near the gates of the Royal Knight Academy, Rebeca, Freya, and I are waiting for Nevin.

     Nevin, Frank, Chuck, and Rando all walked out together, and the boys all waved.

     Nevin ran to hug rebeca, because he had not seen her in a while, and she also missed her little Brother.

     Rando nodded to Freya, and then remembered.

     "I had told the others, but do not forget, go to The Tipsy Gentlewoman, at sunset, that is where I am treating everyone. If you don't come, everyone will feel a bit sad, haha."

     The Tipsy Gentlewoman, despite its name, is a very luxurious and expensive bar and grill. Many noble families make reservations to meet and entertain others. it was opened by a wealthy Mage lady in the past, hence the name, but no one actually knows who owns it.

     "Sure, but may I bring Freya with me? I promised to accompany her tonight, and if gold is an issue, I can pay?"

     His and Frank's eyes opened a bit hearing my request, and Rando with a knowing smile pats my shoulder, and says proudly. (Frank still does not know he is having dinner on Sunday with them, cough)

     "Miss Starling was part of our group, unofficially, so of course, bring her, and no worries about gold, my family is rich, haha. I look like this, but I already have 3 wives at home."

     I nodded to the others, and we finally parted, because we will all see one another later, but for now, we hail a carriage, because we miss our parents.

     Ugh, I forgot, I need to greet Rebeca's mother as Mother-in-law... She likes me to much, so I expect some embarrassing teasing coming, damn...

     Then our group headed to my small home...
