Two days had passed since Liam and Ariana kicked off their Mystsense training.
Liam picked it up fast—like scary fast. Now he could use it without closing his eyes or zoning out like some meditation junkie. He could spot the color of someone's core mid-convo or while casually walking down a hallway. His control was still a work in progress, but it was leagues better than when they started.
Ariana, though? She was leveling up like a speedrunner. Her detection range doubled—she could scan twice as many people at once, and her perception got way sharper. Reading someone's mystical level and core felt like blinking—almost effortless.
They'd just wrapped their daily Mystsense grind and were now tucked away in the academy library. Liam had his nose in a dark magic tome, scribbling notes here and there. Across from him, Ariana was fully locked in on a dimensional warping tome and a light magic one, switching between them like it was nothing.
