1. "Just leave. It''s over between us, Elvynna, you cold woman."


    2. "Hesitant. Pixie, three hundred Elemental Stones? Isn’t that a bit too low?"


    3. "Sincerely devoted. Apologies, Miss Ravenshadow, but I only wish to stand by Queen Elvynna!"


    Which option should he choose?


    Eirik rubbed his chin, deep in thought. Although this junior sister was indeed quite charming, he couldn’t be fickle! He had already chosen to support Elvynna, investing so much time to deepen their bond. To suddenly give that up? Absolutely not!


    It had to be option 3!


    Moreover, Eirik keenly noticed a subtle expression on Elvynna’s face in the illustration. She smiled warmly at him, yet her posture was slightly stiff; it was clear she didn’t want him to leave.


    Putting feelings aside, just the fact that he could accelerate her training was reason enough for her to keep him close.


    Her generous words about respecting Eirik''s wishes were merely for show; she had no intention of letting him go. After all, junior sister Pixie had once done her a favor. How could she refuse a benefactor’s request?


    So, she feigned a magnanimous attitude while secretly passing the ball back to Eirik. Even sneaking a glance at him when Pixie wasn’t looking, her eyes betrayed a hint of anxiety.


    If Eirik really did leave with the junior sister, by nightfall, Elvynna might regret it, clutching her blanket and unable to sleep.


    "Miss Ravenshadow, you jest! I am already devoted to Queen Elvynna!"


    Eirik stepped forward, speaking calmly.


    *Ding! Your bond with Elvynna has deepened.*


    The system''s notification chimed in just in time.


    He hadn’t made the wrong choice after all! For Eirik, who had played countless games in his past life, this decision was a piece of cake!


    Elvynna sighed in relief, quickly turning to Pixie with an apologetic smile.


    "Haha, look at you taking it so seriously! I was just joking. It’s clear this lad has won your favor, Junior. Why would Pip try to steal him away?"


    The junior sister giggled, her eyes tinged with envy.


    Elvynna’s magical prowess had recently skyrocketed; it must be thanks to him!


    Meanwhile, in a small courtyard in Aelsryel, Elvynna observed Eirik’s choice in the game, feeling quite pleased.


    "This lad is quite loyal. I’ll have to reward him later…"


    Elvynna smiled brightly, whispering to herself.


    *Elvynna is very satisfied with your response and has decided to reward you once the junior sister leaves.*


    ?


    Could it be the kind of reward I’m hoping for?!


    Does this game really have R18 content?!


    Now that’s something to look forward to.


    After a wait, the quirky junior sister finally took her leave.


    Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.Elvynna''s expression grew serious as she turned to Eirik and said slowly,


    "Actually, even without talent, one can still learn magic. Yesterday, I purchased a special grimoire from Master J..."


    No talent, yet still able to learn magic?!


    Eirik instantly became excited.


    Though it wasn’t the kind of reward he’d initially expected, it was still fantastic!


    In this alternate world, not being able to learn magic felt unacceptable.


    Moreover, the game demanded that Eirik assist the heroine in becoming the strongest queen; it was said that once a magic scholar reached the pinnacle, their lifespan could rival that of the gods!


    To help someone become the strongest magical queen was far beyond the lifespan of an ordinary person, making it impossible to accomplish in just a few short decades.


    At that moment, Elvynna retrieved a silver coin from her magical storage, handing it to Eirik.


    This wasn’t just any ordinary silver coin; it was a special magical item capable of storing information!


    Contained within was the very grimoire she had mentioned earlier!


    Elvynna clearly understood this, so upon hearing about Master J''s methods, she quickly bought it.


    Today, Eirik had made the right choice; otherwise, he would have missed the chance to learn magic!


    As he took the coin in hand, Eirik noticed a line of tiny letters appearing on its surface.


    *Grimoire of Arcane Mastery*


    That name sounded quite impressive.


    ...


    *Congratulations! Your patron Eirik has gained a new talent. Would you like to check it?*


    On the other side, Elvynna noticed a new system notification appearing before her.


    She quickly opened Eirik’s panel and saw a new line of blue text in his talent section.


    *Magic Apprentice: By relying on a special magical tome, can barely learn magic. Normally, one would be deemed mediocre, but due to his unique physique, he can attract elemental energy, potentially comparable to an ordinary magic scholar.*


    This talent was rated white.


    *Talent: Able to absorb surrounding elemental energy... Elemental Absorption level +1*


    Elvynna keenly observed that Eirik’s golden Elemental Absorption talent had gained an additional "+1."


    "According to the system’s explanation, this number represents enhancement levels. The stronger he becomes, the more this talent will grow... Does this mean that as long as I continue to nurture him, my training speed will accelerate even more?!"


    Elvynna’s eyes sparkled; she was beginning to discover the joys of nurturing!


    "I don''t need these Elemental Stones; keep them all! Focus on learning magic and don’t let this Grimoire of Arcane Mastery go to waste!"


    Elvynna spoke coldly to Eirik.


    "Wow, this wife is too generous! Giving me so many Elemental Stones—she’s really investing in me..."


    Eirik felt a surge of emotions.


    Despite Elvynna’s usual icy demeanor, she truly was kind to him!


    Elemental Stones were essentially currency, and with the ability to absorb them, he could speed up his learning of magic. How could he possibly pass that up?


    Her flimsy excuse sounded laughably absurd...


    *With your assistance, patron Eirik’s progress has been swift, surpassing that of a typical newcomer. Today, he finally broke through barriers, reaching the rank of Magic Practitioner!*


    Elvynna was sparing no expense, foregoing her own Elemental Stones just to help Eirik level up.


    Under her diligent care, within about two years of game time, Eirik leaped nine small levels of Stalwart, directly advancing to Magic Practitioner!


    Upon reaching Magic Practitioner, Eirik discovered he had unlocked a new skin.


    *Eirik: Master of Arcane Power*


    In the image, he radiated with elemental energy, his hair and beard flowing dramatically; he looked breathtakingly handsome, so much so that he felt shy to even look at himself.


    "Not bad, very not bad!"


    On the other side, Elvynna gazed at Eirik’s new appearance with admiration, observing him for quite some time.


    And indeed, Eirik’s Elemental Absorption talent had progressed, now reaching +15.


    Elvynna could feel that if she studied magic alongside Eirik, the speed of their learning would undergo a significant leap!


    Before long, she reached Magic Practitioner level 5!


    Level 5


    At level 5, it felt as though she could converse with the world; the elemental power she could wield was no longer limited to her own body but could draw from the elemental energies present in the air, rendering her incredibly powerful—


    Even the many tutors at the academy paled in comparison!


    This exhilarating sensation was simply incredible!


    "I wonder if there’s a citizen named Eirik in Aelsryel..."


    In reality, Elvynna pondered, resting her chin in thought.
