After hearing Arnold's answer, Samuel nodded and then said, "Let's go to your temporary residence."
They were all confused by Samuel's remarks and looked at each other. A trace of pity flashed by their eyes for a moment.
Everyone wanted to see Samuel beating up Arnold.
After all, they all knew how much Samuel doted on his family members. But now Amelia has been 'kidnapped' and Arnold was let off easily?
Only Arnold smiled faintly, understanding what Samuel meant.
They had a conversation many years ago when he had returned from his work and found that Amelia's liking for him had instead increased. It would be impossible for Samuel to separate them and he had seen that Amelia's liking was more like a crush.
Even though Amelia was a bit naive, she also knew that it was not suitable for her to charge forward like an idiot.
So the two of them could maintain that good state.
And the most important thing was his own decision and determination to let Amelia enter his world.
Even if it's dangerous… he will protect her. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⦿fire.net
'But he will definitely beat me in private later.'
Arnold rubbed his neck and sighed deeply. Well, he just had to be prepared for later.
"I'll check your training progress later… before that, is there anything that you want to ask?" Samuel asked straightforwardly after they sat down in the living room.
"Why do you have to be so serious? This is not a meeting room," Ruben complained.
"Relax, Samuel." Stephen patted Samuel's shoulder helplessly.
Seeing his friends , Samuel showed a wry smile and slapped Stephen's hand away. He leaned against the sofa and sighed. "Fine, I have made the report about the crack and Riya's advancement…."
"Riya! Are you really rank 7?" Amelia interrupted when she heard her friend's name.
Riya smiled. "Of course~."
"Then, can you make a more convenient magic scroll for me?"
"Tsk, you only want to get close to me for the magic scroll."
"Hehe~, please Riya~." Amelia had moved to the back of Riya and rubbed the other party's shoulder playfully.
Seeing Amelia acting , Riya laughed and then said, "I'll give you a better defense formation plate later. But considering that I don't have many materials in hand, you will have to wait for a bit."
"It's ok! Riya is the best!" With that Amelia snuggled close to Riya.
"Wait, I still want to ask for advice for my next magic pet!" Sophia also said.
"Hmm? I'll give advice after seeing your current strength and your pet's improvement later," Riya said.
They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year and Riya didn't know how much they have improved. There was no way she could give accurate judgement of which magic beast would be the best for Sophia.
Sophia nodded with a grin. "Great~."
With that, Sophia also snuggled from the other side.
Samuel who was pushed away by his own sister: "…"
He silently glanced at Arnold but saw the other party also had a helpless look on his face.
Their minds were rarely synchronized: My status is far lower than Riya (Amelia) in Riya (Amelia)'s heart.
Stephen, who watched this from the side also looked at his sister helplessly. He felt that his sister had to be brought out to meet with other people more often.
Right now, he was worried that if Sophia stayed with Riya all the time, her orientation will suddenly change one day.
Though, Stephen knew that the chance was slim.
These girls were more like sisters to each other and didn't have any other thoughts.
Only Sean rolled his eyes when he saw this scene.
"Brother, can I talk to you alone?" Sean finally asked.
"Hmm?" Samuel nodded and then glanced at Arnold, Ruben, and Stephen.
"I only want to learn some magic skills from Riya since we have reached rank 4," Stephen said while raising his hand.
"I want to learn more runes from her," Ruben added.
Arnold shrugged. "I'll wait next door."
Samuel looked at his friends and then at his sister. For some reason, he had the feeling that Riya is the most popular in their group while he was at the bottom. But he didn't dis feeling and only felt helpless.
"Alright, you can go with Riya while I talk with Sean."
"Uhm, can Amelia and Riya stay?"
Amelia rubbed her forehead and then glanced at Riya.
"I don't mind, but…" Riya arched her eyebrows as she looked at Sean up and down. "Aren't you going to talk about your future paths? This is not something that can be easily talked in front of outsiders."
She herself should be considered an outsider in front of Sean. After all, she could still remember that Sean didn't seem to like her that much when they met for the first time in front of the villa back then.
Before that, they barely have any interaction with each other because there was no need for that.
Sean has his own circle of friend.
And Riya is Amelia's friend, not his.
"How did you….?" Sean was stunned.
How did Riya knew what he wanted to talk about?
Riya looked at Sean's body and her eyes deepened. She could sense that Sean's mana was a bit disordered.
"Once you reach rank 7, your mana sensitivity will reach the level where you can even sense other people's emotion through their mana's movement," Riya explained briefly. "Of course, if you don't have enough experience, you will not be able to guess correctly."
"What kind of emotion?" Sophia asked curiously.
"Anger, happiness, panic, uneasy," Riya said slowly and after a moment, she added, "The perceptive one can even tell when you're lying or not through the movement of your mana."
When the others heard this, they were stunned and turned to look at Samuel.
"It's true." Samuel nodded. "Both magicians and magic warriors have heightened senses and sensitivity towards mana. They will be able to do this, especially if they trained themselves."
