Why Are My Skills So Weird 96

Later that night, I was lying on the bed with Mary beside me.

She lay her head on my chest and used her fingers to draw circles on my abdomen. Occasionally, she kissed my collarbone while her naked body wriggled below the blanket.

I stroke her auburn hair gently while savoring the aftertaste of sex.

“We should do this more often.” Mary suddenly said.

I rolled my eyes.

“We have sex thrice every week, and every time, we spend several hours in bed. Is it not enough for you?”

“Not enough. Sigh, it would be nice if we can be together every day. Hey, Jane, why don’t you become my gigolo? Your only job will be to make me happy, and I will take care of the rest.”

I looked at Mary speechless.

“Okay, okay, I’m just joking. But frankly, I really enjoy my time with you. Unfortunately, my husband will be back in a few days. We won’t be able to meet that often anymore.”

I fell silent with a complicated expression.

“Are you jealous?” Mary asked.

“A bit,” I said. “However, I’m aware of the nature of our relationship. Don’t worry.”

Mary’s pitch-black eyes stared deeply at mine. She then stood up and straddled my body, looking at me with a serious expression.

“Jane, sometimes, I wish I could have met you sooner. I kind of would have liked to have a proper relationship with you.”

“I think I would have liked it too. However, I like our relationship now. Not lovers, but more than friends… Confidants, perhaps?” I chuckled, making Mary chuckle as well.

“Yeah, I like it too. It’s already late, are you going to spend the night here?”

“I’d like to, but I can’t. I told my sister that I would return by night. Plus, I need to finish preparing for the entrance examination.”

“A shame. Then, before you leave, should we go for one last round?” After saying that, Mary grabbed my dick and put it just below her slit.

I did not speak and just grabbed her waist. In the next second, I felt my penis entering a warm and comfortable place.

Mary and I moaned, then, the two of us started to move our bodies, losing ourselves in the passion of sex.

In the end, we went for three rounds more before getting satisfied.

 

…

 

When I returned home, the clock had just marked ten o’clock.

I was afraid of my mother or Ley seeing my tattoo, so I bought a long-sleeve shirt on the way to hide it.

Fortunately, both my mother and Ley were busy with something when I reached home and they did not pay much attention to me, so they did not notice anything wrong. I just greeted them half-heartedly and went to my room to take a shower.

While I was showering, I was thinking about everything that happened today.

Firstly, I went from the second tier of mana to the late stage of the third tier, and the mana inside my body almost doubled.

Before, my mana was equivalent to 2.2 GSU (Garcia Scale Units),  but now, I estimate it’s around 4.0 or 4.1 GSU.

This mana is the equivalent of an average fifth-tier Awakened.

Of course, the mana of strong fifth-tier Awakened is often above this number. Mary’s mana, for example, is at 4.9 GSU.

But the fact that my mana reached the standard of the fifth tier means that my combat strength got a great room for improvement. After I get used to my new abilities, my strength will definitely see a big spike.

That is good news. The entrance examinations for Sanctuary’s First will be four days later, so if my strength can improve before that, I will have better chances of getting in.

Secondly, I got a new skill and a familiar.

Compared to my increase in mana, this one is much more important. The potential of this skill is astonishing.

I looked at the tattoo on my right arm and sensed the contract inside my soul space.

As soon as my consciousness touched the contract, I felt Saphire’s consciousness jumping in joy. Her consciousness rushed toward me intimately, like a pet happy to see her owner.

I noticed that even though Saphire had spent several hours here, she did not seem tired, bored, hungry, or thirsty. Curious, I tried to ask her the reason, but she did not seem to understand me.

After trying a couple of times more, Saphire finally understood what I was asking and used her consciousness to transmit her feelings to me.

It was a bit hard to understand what she was trying to say, but the gist of it was that being inside the contract seemed to be very comfortable, and she did not feel hungry or thirsty inside.

However, she asked if she could come out. Apparently, she still preferred to be outside.

I hesitated briefly before telling her that not yet. First, I needed to find a way to explain Saphire’s existence to my mother.

It’s impossible to hide Saphire’s existence forever. After all, the tattoo on my arm is very conspicuous, plus, her existence will be revealed when I summon her.

But I should think of a good excuse before revealing her.

‘Well, I can worry about that tomorrow.’

Today had been a hectic day, so now I only wanted to rest.

Unfortunately, as soon as I fell asleep, I was summoned by the demon to the dreamland.

[Let’s start the training boy. You need to get used to your new abilities as soon as possible.]

“I guess I can forget about resting, huh.” I smiled wryly, but suddenly, Saphire appeared beside me, looking around curiously.

I was stunned, and the demon put on a surprised expression.

“This…” How did she appear here!?

[… This is unexpected.]

Saphire looked at the demon and tilted her head, but quickly, she stopped paying attention to him and rushed towards me, rubbing her body against mine.

I did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

“Okay, okay. Stop that, I need to train now.”

The lamia tilted her head with a curious expression.

“… Tra… in…?”

Both the demon and I were surprised again.

“… Did she speak?”

[Well, well, it looks like your new pet is full of surprises.]
