Days passed by as Jake learned her spells under Grace's guidance, and with the help of his Light Authority, he was able to master each of her spells within a month. This caused her to look at him as if he were some kind of monster.

"Seriously, Jake," Grace said one evening, shaking her head in disbelief as he flawlessly executed a complex spell she had taught him just a few days earlier. "I've never seen anyone learn so quickly. It's like you were born to wield light magic."

Jake shrugged modestly. "I guess I just have a knack for it. Plus, your teaching methods are excellent."

Grace rolled her eyes but couldn't hide a smile. "Flattery will get you everywhere, but it doesn't change the fact that you're mastering spells in days that took me years to perfect."

Jake grinned. "Well, having a great teacher helps. And let's not forget about the Light Authority—it definitely gives me an edge."

After spending some days with her he exposed he had this Light Authority,though its source, he lied about it and said its from Myne the Ancient Light Spirit, causing all the suspicion of Grace to go to gutter.

Grace sighed, still amazed by his rapid progress. "Maybe, but even with that, your progress is extraordinary. Most people wouldn't be able to handle the power and complexity of these spells so quickly."

Jake's expression turned serious. "I know, and I don't take it for granted. I want to be as prepared as possible for whatever comes next. This world, my world—there's so much at stake."

' Especially my world that would soon get invaded by Infernals' Jake mentally added to himself.

Grace nodded, her admiration for Jake growing. "You're right. And I suppose if anyone is going to master these spells and use them for good, I'm glad it's you."

Jake smiled warmly. "Thanks, Grace. I appreciate your faith in me."

Grace looked at him thoughtfully. "You know, Jake, there's one spell I haven't taught you yet. It's the most powerful one I know, but it's also the most dangerous. It requires absolute control and a deep connection to the light."

Jake's interest was piqued. "Tell me more."

Grace hesitated for a moment before continuing. "It's called 'Celestial Radiance.' It's a Tier 10 spell, capable of banishing darkness and evil from an entire region. But it draws heavily on the caster's life force. If not handled properly, it could be fatal."

Jake's eyes widened. "That sounds intense. But if it's that powerful, it's worth learning. With your guidance, I'm sure I can master it."

Grace studied him for a moment before nodding. "Alright, Jake. We'll start training for it tomorrow. But promise me you'll be careful. This spell is no joke."

Jake nodded solemnly. "I promise, Grace. I'll be careful."

The next day, they began the rigorous training required to master 'Celestial Radiance.' Grace was meticulous in her instruction, emphasizing the importance of balance and control. Jake absorbed every detail, his determination unwavering.

Moreover this spell turned out better than he expected as it literally needs one to tap into their life energy, causing Jake to involuntary learn about controlling Life energy.

As the days turned into weeks, Jake's progress continued to astound Grace. His ability to harness and channel light magic was unparalleled, but its his commitment to mastering the spell that was evident in every practice session, allowed him to uae his talent properly.

One evening, as they took a break from training, Grace couldn't help but express her amazement. "Jake, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with your level of dedication and talent. You're truly remarkable."

Jake smiled, grateful for her praise. "Thank you, Grace. I couldn't have done it without your help. You've been an incredible teacher."

Grace blushed slightly, touched by his words. "Well, you've been an exceptional student. And I have no doubt that you'll be able to master 'Celestial Radiance.'"

Jake nodded, his resolve firm. "I will."

With their bond stronger than ever, Jake and Grace continued their the Task that each of them have thought of.

'I am not making much progress,' Grace thought as she looked at Jake, who was calmly sipping coffee and enjoying snacks.

Her mind wandered to various scenarios where Jake would finally confess his feelings. She imagined him saying, "Grace, you have been a great teacher for the past month, but now I want to take this relationship further." In her fantasy, Jake would then hold her hand and pull her in for a passionate kiss.

In another scenario, she envisioned him sneaking into her room at night, taking her by surprise. He would propose to her while making love, a whirlwind of passion and commitment.

These indecent thoughts made Grace's face turn red like a tomato.

Jake, noticing her flushed face, tilted his head and asked, "Are you sick?"

Startled, Grace quickly answered, "No, I'm not!"

Jake raised an eyebrow but didn't press further. "Alright, if you say so. Just let me know if you need anything."

Grace nodded, trying to steady her racing heart. 'I need to focus,' she thought, determined to push her fantasies aside and concentrate on their training. Yet, the lingering hope for a deeper connection with Jake stayed with her, fueling her motivation and making every moment they spent together even more meaningful.

Nexus and Myne exchanged knowing looks.

"Well, it's not Jake's fault he can't see the love in Grace's eyes. After all, he's bad at relationships. Even all his girlfriends proposed to him, and that's the only reason he's in relationships," Myne said.

[I see lust rather than love in Grace's eyes] Nexus responded. [Anyway, you're right. Jake never went on dates; he directly jumped to the last step of a relationship.]

Both sighed simultaneously. ["When will he get a normal person in his life?"] they both wondered.

Within another month, Jake managed to learn the Tier 10 spell. He used the ruined kingdom as a testing ground, and the result left him staring at Grace incredulously.

"Didn't you say this spell is used to banish darkness in an entire region? Then what is this?" He pointed at the massive crater. Jake had used the spell at its minimum power, yet it resulted in a 50 km-wide crater, obliterating any trace of the previously situated kingdom.

'I am glad I chose a corrupt kingdom whose history is not worth mentioning,' Jake thought as he looked ahead.

"Well, if you destroy every single thing related to darkness, it's similar to removing darkness, right?" Grace replied, unfazed.

Jake looked at her for a moment and then turned his head, thinking, 'Yep, how could I forget she was a light fanatic before? What kind of spells was I even expecting?'

Shaking his head, Jake asked, "Is there anything left for you to teach me?"

Grace shook her head and said, "No."

'I wasn't able to have a forbidden love between us,' Grace thought as she sighed.

If Nexus and Myne could have heard her thoughts, they would have spit out mouthfuls of blood in anger. After all, her methods included scenarios described in children's books, like accidentally bumping into each other, and then just as she was about to fall, Jake would catch her, and they would look into each other's eyes and fall in love.

These nonsensical methods were what she had been using for the past month.

And if she gained anything from this, it was the title "Clutch" from Jake.

"What will you be doing now?" Grace asked, hoping to help him and further develop their relationship.

"I will focus on increasing my realm while maintaining a rock-solid foundation," Jake replied.

During the last two months, Ramis had advanced to the next realm, causing Jake to receive feedback and advance to S rank. Now, he only needed to advance to SS and SSS realm to achieve the quest acceptance condition.

"For the Infernal Invasion quest, I need to be Title Awakened, which means at least Lord rank," he thought.

Grace nodded, processing his words. "Is there any way I can assist you in your training?"

Jake considered this. "Actually, having a sparring partner who can use advanced light magic would be beneficial. It would help me refine my techniques and better integrate what I've learned."

Grace's eyes lit up. "I'd be happy to spar with you. It will be good practice for both of us."

Jake smiled. "Great. Let's start tomorrow morning."

As they settled into this new routine, Grace hoped that through their training sessions, she might finally bridge the gap between them and bring her romantic fantasies closer to reality.@@novelbin@@

Jake's training routine had become more intense and structured. Each day, he woke up early and immediately began using his OriginArt to cultivate. This unknown rank technique allowed him to harness and refine every single energy, laying the foundation for his advancement to higher realms.

After a rigorous morning cultivation session, he would then spar with Grace, testing his skills and learning from her unique light magic techniques.
