[Phantom Veil: A mysterious Knight technique from another world. Use your energy to mask your or your surroundings' presence making it temporarily invisible.]

'Jackpot.' Ian thought looking at all the rewards he got. 

'However, why is there nothing related to Wizard?' 

Then he found that there was no reward directly related to wizardry which he urgently needed. Only the Arcanium Shell might be near to this. 

'Sigh... I think maybe because this is a Knight Competition.' 

However, he still got a magical thing as a Bronze Starwell Token, so there was still hope.

Although he didn't know what Starwell was, he didn't know many things, didn't he? Ian was getting used to it. 

'I didn't know there were such things as Etherial Crystal in this world.' 

A condensed essence of Tier 3 High Knight, enough for him to increase his realm or to practice the Ehterial Disguise Technique. 

'With Phantom Veil on the outside and Ehterial Disguise on the inside, my surviving ability as a Knight has increased considerably.'

By now, he understood the pattern of how the Quest System works. Basically, it gave rewards based on the type of quest he completed unless it was the first-time reward. 

'However, it would have been better if I was given at least a few mana crystals.' 

Ian thought dreamily. Although he still had the mana nectar from Honeyfang butterfly, it could only help him reach Second Class Wizard Apprentice - or not, he wasn't even sure.

'Let's increase the Kinight Realm then.' 

For now, Etherial Disguise at the Initiation realm was enough for him; especially since he now had another technique Phantom Veil at perfection, possibly.

Just when his thought was drifting, he had already arrived near Lyra outside the venue, who immediately trotted over him in small steps full of smiles.

"Congratulations! I didn't know you fought so well. When did you learn?" 

Lyra asked, genuinely confused.

As much as she knew, Ian hadn't left her shadow from childhood. Besides sleeping, eating, and other activities, they were inseparable. 

So, when did he become so good at fighting? 

'Did he learn recently?'

She thought because he had disappeared from her sight frequently this month, didn't know what he did or where he went.

'Then, isn't the progress too fast?' 

She looked at Ian who appeared more and more mysterious to her recently. 

In fact, after the day when she met him at the restaurant, Ian had begun to completely changed. Although those changes drew them closer to each other, it was full of mystery in her opinion. 

How could a person change so suddenly and unexpectedly?

It was as if he was hiding all his life just to wait for this moment to show off. Although, that sounds ridiculous no matter how she thought. 

Looking at Lyra's blue eyes scanning his face in pure curiosity, Ian was amused. 

"Heh! Of course, I know how to fight. I was just acting like I don't to not dampen your and that little brat spirit." 

Ian laughed and hugged Lyra in public without a care.

When it came to Lyra, he always couldn't resist her look, so he placed her body close to his, savoring the warmth they shared. 

If Carl was to see them getting so intimate, he would probably die from anger. 

"What... What are you doing?"

Lyra flustered, scolded him softly for fear that others might hear it, then pushed him away while distancing herself from Ian.

She then looked at the crowd and heaved a sigh of relief seeing that nobody saw their brief intimacy. 

"Why are you so perverted recently? You... don't have any shame." 

She said with reproach while straightening her crumpled clothes. 

"I don't know. When I'm with you, I just can't control."

Ian genuinely confessed as he keenly found that his obsession was getting ignited again.

His heart was beating wildly again, especially when he hugged her; his emotions were stronger than ever before. 

'This is weird.' 

Now that his mental power had increased multiple times than that of before, he found out that he was weirdly attracted to her. Of course, not a simple attraction between the opposite sex but enamored.

If he had to find an analogy, it was like he was charmed unconsciously. 

Ian found it very intriguing and actively let go of his passive mental defense while looking at Lyra intently.

"You again... Why are you..."

Lyra was once again shocked by his crazy remark and was about to sigh in exasperation when she saw Ian looking at her intently as if a beast looking at a beauty, ready to eat. 

"Um... Ian... Why are you looking at me like that?" 

Lyra was scared as she saw the same look she saw before on Ian when he was obsessed with her. This look was what made her always feel uncomfortable and insecure. 

As Ian looked at her face and figure intently, the same obsessive feeling began to ignite in his heart making him restless. 

Before he lost control of himself, he quickly used his mental power to subside this feeling.

'This is really weird.'
