The night of Orion''s return, everything went by without a problem.


    They ate dinner, discussed some things that had happened, and ended up early, as everyone was exhausted.


    As Orion returned to his room, someone followed him inside.


    It was Amelia. She couldn''t hold her desires anymore.


    Naturally, Orion let her in and blocked the sounds from leaving his room.


    ...


    "Nhg..."


    The first one to wake up was Amelia.


    As she opened her eyes, she felt the warmth of the man she loved.


    She was resting on top of his chest, rubbing her cheek on his shirt.


    Orion was still deep in sleep, letting the peace take over his tired mind.


    While Amelia wanted to stay like this, she had to continue her training with her mother.


    Just because Orion had returned, the responsibilities she obtained during the past year still existed.


    Without waking him up, she left his side and stretched her arms.


    Her waist was feeling a bit sore, but compared to the past, it was manageable.


    She was wearing one of Orion''s shirts, with just her underwear underneath. In just a minute, she changed back to her clothes and approached him.


    (See you later.)


    Kissing his cheek, she smiled. As she straightened, she then turned around and left the room, closing the door gently behind her.


    After sighing from happiness, she walked downstairs and went to the kitchen.


    "Good morning, Amelia."


    "Hi."


    Henrietta and Tetra were already awake, alongside her second teacher, Orianne.


    "Good morning."


    With a smile, she greeted them and walked into the kitchen.


    "How was last night?"


    "Pretty relaxing."


    Amelia prepared herself toasts while answering her mother-in-law.


    "Orianne, don''t bring that up this early in the morning."


    With a frown, Henrietta glared at the woman, who simply shrugged.


    "That''s why you''re still single."


    "I said the same thing yesterday."


    Tetra agreed with her and began to mock her lightly.


    "You two..."


    Seemingly fed up with their heckling, she sighed.


    But then she smiled. This was the usual for her, and she felt relieved now that Tetra was also there.


    Then Tetra looked at Amelia.


    "Is he still asleep? Isn''t that rare?"


    When she looked out the window, she noticed that it was past 8 AM. By this time, Orion was supposed to be awake.


    At least she was used to this being a normal occurrence for him.


    "He is. I avoided waking him up as I left."


    "Since we went a bit wild last night, I might have pushed his exhaustion even further."


    Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    "Wow."


    Tetra felt the love overwhelming Amelia''s heart and felt a large spike of jealousy in her own.


    "Sounds nice."


    Transforming this jealousy into love, she began to envy her instead, wishing it would happen to her too.


    "Get your heads out of the gutter, you two. This conversation this early is rather sickening."


    "I don''t mind it. I mean, I also go wild with Reon so knowing that Orion does the same makes me happy."


    "Orianne!"


    Henrietta was completely shocked and disgusted. She was the only one thinking that this entire conversation was inappropriate.


    "Haha~ Alright, we''ll stop. We wouldn''t want to irritate you for the rest of the day."


    The crimson-haired woman chuckled while picking up her cup of coffee and sipping it candidly.


    "Good grief..."


    Feeling dread emanating from the three horny women around her, she hid her face in her hands.


    "So, what are we doing today?"


    Walking to the table with a tray with toasts and a jar of strawberry jam, she placed everything in the middle.


    There was enough for all four of them.


    Leaving behind the weird vibes, they enjoyed breakfast.


    ...


    "As I told you earlier, we''re going to confirm again that everything goes well with your arsenal of Elemental Masteries."


    "Alright."


    Thanks to Tetra''s warping ability, it became easier and faster to move around. They managed to push their breakfast longer because of that.


    With the three older women watching over her, Amelia nodded.


    "First, fire."


    In a blast of fire energy, Amelia''s body and clothes changed.


    A long spear made of intense fire that spun like a cyclone appeared in front of her, and when she grabbed it, its form took hold naturally.


    The bright fire crown over her head flashed a violent and ruthless white, an indicator of the hazardous power wrapping her body.


    "Good. It''s stable. Push it further."


    Henrietta smiled with satisfaction as Amelia followed her advice.


    "Hng!"


    Amelia forced every bit of energy inside her body toward the spear.


    Vesta began to react as flames began to swallow the blade whole.


    After a few minutes of doing that, the flames broke apart, starting from the tip, and opened like a flower.


    Then, they suddenly bent inward, creating two powerful rays of fire to the side in a reverse V-shape.


    "Oh!"


    Feeling the energy stabilize, Amelia exclaimed in joy.


    "..."


    Watching carefully, Orianne approached her.


    "There is still a bit of waste in your usage, but for now, this is the most you can possibly gather."


    "The only way to make it perfect is to battle. There are numerous people who would, so pick your fighter."


    As she looked all over Amelia to find any leakage of magic, she nodded.


    "I''m part of those people, if you were wondering."


    Watching Orianne walk away, Amelia felt an urge to use her spear.


    With just a thrust forward, the full power behind her fire element showed great potential.


    Pushed by the rays of fire, her feet scrapped a hundred meters of grass in a flash.


    The transition to turn around or to the side needed to be carefully calculated, but she already felt a certain ease after using Vesta all this time.


    Once she returned to the group, she looked toward her mother.


    "Now, wind."


    With a nod, Amelia instantly changed the focus on her element.


    Her crown exploded in ember particles before a visible green breeze pushed them away, slowly taking the shape of a windy crown.


    "..."


    Tetra was silent. For her, seeing Amelia''s prowess was a discovery, as she missed everything alongside Orion.


    "Good."


    Amelia confirmed that the magic took hold. The spear gradually morphed into another shape, while Amelia watched her clothes also change.


    When she grabbed Aura, it had turned into karambit knives, which she began to skillfully play around with, spinning them around her fingers.


    As she grabbed them tightly, the crown above her head stabilized, a miniature storm at the center of it.


    "It''s stable."


    This Elemental Mastery once happened with Ruminona, the wind dragon. It happened once, when both reacted to the scale bathing in its respective element inside her core.


    Before her mother could tell her what to do, she focused every bit of energy into the knives.


    "..."


    They began to glow light green before Amelia slashed forward once.


    A tornado the size of a building ripped the air in front of her and devastated everything in a straight line. But it only took hold for a few seconds before vanishing.


    "If we''re talking magic, that''s what I can do. But if it''s close combat, it''s another thing."


    Spinning the karambit knives wildly, she took an offensive stance. She crouched lightly and, with swift and precise movement, began to fend the air itself with every swipe.


    *Fwoosh*


    Her movements began to gain momentum, fending the air more than once per second.


    After a minute, she stopped.


    "I''m not even tired anymore."


    With a caring smile, she looked at Aura.


    "It''s better than when you started using it. The control is fine, too, but not perfect."


    Amelia turned to Orianne.


    "I think most of my Elemental Masteries are like that. There''s something I quite don''t understand yet, but I can''t seem to put my finger on it."


    Orianne nodded.


    "That''s normal. If it were simple, everyone would be capable of doing it. You, especially, might find this even more difficult, as you possess the five elements plus the void element."


    From the entire Agathion faction, those who possessed the ability to control their power were the Remnants, Elliott, Nylon, and Deveralna.


    Since their training wasn''t focused on controlling the output, they were lacking compared to Deveralna, who trained under Elliott specifically for that reason.


    But out of everyone else, Amelia was the closest to this breakthrough.


    Even Orion had found the fundamental rule of ''Control''. All he needed was to understand the laws of both powers to gain total command over them.


    "Next one, Amelia. Water"


    As Henrietta asked, she changed her Elemental Mastery again.


    The crown of wind dissipated in the air as water began to condense over her head. Then, as the large droplets of water accumulated into a beautiful crown of water, it froze almost instantly.


    An icy, sharp crown of ice with water flowing inside its frozen edges formed, and the karambit knives shattered in her hands.


    Turning into shards of ice, they began to gather in a single spot, changing into a dual-bladed scythe.


    Dana, the water elemental, turned Amelia into the coldest, deadliest reaper this world had known.


    Her snow-white skin glistened with particles of ice.


    "..."


    Spinning the scythe skillfully with both hands, Amelia took a step forward.


    *Slash*


    With a swift movement, she leaned forward and slashed forward. Wherever she attacked, blades of grass frozen and shattered.


    "That is spectacular. I think this element is total under her control."


    "I think so, too. There''s no mistake about it."


    Simply looking at Amelia''s expression and skillful manipulation of the scythe, they knew that she wasn''t moving on instinct anymore.


    Every single movement, every breath, every muscle twitch—everything was under her total control.


    Her thoughts were manifesting through her actions, which created the frozen landscape in front of them.


    To prove the perfection of this element, Henrietta, Tetra, and Orianne were unaffected by her magic, feeling completely fine around this incredible cold.


    As Amelia continued to display her devastating power, Henrietta recalled the carnage she wrought by herself on the battlefield against the invasion caused by Miasma.


    ''Five corrupted giants... She''s terrifying.''


    An in a fraction of a moment, no less. She was already powerful enough to kill a dragon that grew past its limits.


    "So, that''s how she trains."


    Suddenly, a man walked up next to them.


    "You''re awake. I thought you would stay in bed for the day."


    Tetra jokingly snuggled up to Orion, who placed his hand on her head in return.


    "I came to pick you up. After hearing that you were actually fine using your power yesterday, I decided that it was time for us to bring Procyon back."


    "Geh! Work..."


    She faked a distasteful groan and looked at him with puppy eyes.


    "No can do. The sooner it''s finished, the better."


    Turning around and leaning back against his chest, she sighed.


    "I guess so."


    He smiled briefly before turning to Henrietta.


    "Henrietta, I won''t bother Amelia during training. You can tell her that I encourage her if you''d like."


    "Sure."


    With a nod, she returned to focus on her daughter''s training.


    "Can I come?"


    Orianne lifted her hand in the air while hopping toward him.


    "..."


    For an instant, Orion and Tetra looked at each other.


    "Why not?"


    Tetra was the first to accept.


    "It''s a good opportunity to do something together. I don''t mind."


    "Yes!"


    His mother grabbed his right arm and hugged his shoulder.


    "Hey!"


    Tetra did the same and grabbed his left arm.


    "Calm down, you two. I''m not going anywhere."


    With that said, Orion opened a portal and walked through it, leaving Henrietta by herself.


    ''These women, I swear. Are Titania and I the only responsible ones around here?''


    With a faint smile, she closed her eyes.


    "Amelia, this time, use the lightning element."


    "Yes!"


    As they kept training, it took a long time before Amelia realized only her mother remained.
