After finishing his classes for the day, Liens returned to his room and entered the instance.

The scene shifted.

It was night, and the bright moonlight outside the window illuminated the darkness within the room.

Liens got up from his bed, left his room, and walked down the corridor towards another room.

He wasn't going to the dean to learn magic; he was going to Atel.

During the sword practice earlier that morning in reality, he noticed that the speed and strength Atel displayed were somewhat beyond the normal human range.

She was considerably stronger than he was before he became a Knight, already quite close to Adonis's level.

One must remember that Atel had not yet become an Extraordinary One.

Therefore, he became a little interested in the modification of that curse and wanted to investigate its principles, hoping to gain some insights into enhancing physical fitness from it.

The teacher's dormitory did not have separate sections for men and women, mainly because there weren't that many teachers at the Knight Academy.

After all, it was just a Knight Academy in a remote town, and the total number of liberal arts and martial arts teachers combined was only about ten.

Moreover, there were also teachers who lived outside, so even this teacher's dormitory wasn't full. How could the Knight Academy possibly spend that extra money to build another large building?

Did they think money grew on trees?

Of course, it was also due to the lack of gender-separated sections that married teachers and most female teachers lived outside.

Liens wasn't lying when he reminded Atel earlier that the Knight Academy's conditions weren't very good.

Leaving aside privacy issues, the fact that the entire Knight Academy shared one bathhouse was truly a bit unfriendly for female teachers.

As for Nimophila, she didn't need to bathe at all; a single divine art could solve her body's cleanliness issues.

Enough of the digression.

Because it was very close, Liens quickly arrived at Atel's door.

Just as he was about to open the door with magic, he accidentally heard a moan coming from inside the room.

The sound was very suppressed, and it was clear that the owner of the voice was trying their best to keep their volume down to prevent the sound from leaving the room.

But his hearing was simply too good.

Liens felt a bit awkward. He didn't expect that he would encounter Atel performing 'water magic' even though he randomly chose the middle of the night.

It made him wonder if he should come back at a different time.

"Sigh."

Liens sighed, suppressing the speechlessness in his heart. Then he changed his mind about directly opening the door with magic and politely stepped forward to knock a few times.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

As the not-so-loud knocks sounded, the noise inside the room immediately ceased. Soon after, hasty footsteps were heard, gradually approaching the door.

"Creak."

The door was ajar, and the light from inside refracted outwards. Atel poked her head out, half her figure visible, and looked at Liens outside the door.

"Heier, is there something you need from me in the middle of the night?"

Atel asked Liens.

Her eyes held a hint of wariness. After all, a single woman living alone being knocked on her door late at night was somewhat terrifying.

Although she was confident in her own strength, her necessary vigilance would not decrease because of it.

What's more, Liens was carrying a sharp weapon, which made her regret not bringing her own weapon due to her haste.

Additionally, she was also somewhat concerned about whether Liens had heard the sounds she had just made.

While a single woman performing 'water magic' alone wasn't a huge deal, it was still a bit embarrassing for such a thing to be known, and if exposed, it could easily leave her with a bad reputation.

"I can remove the y-pattern from you, but I need your cooperation in researching some things."

Liens directly stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Atel looked at Liens in astonishment and said in shock, "How do you know I have a y-pattern?"

"You don't need to know how I know about this; you just need to tell me your choice."

Liens responded calmly.

Although he said this, Liens actually didn't leave Atel any room to refuse. Her choice was merely between active cooperation and passive cooperation.

If Atel refused, he would use Hypnotism to hypnotize her into cooperating with his research.

Although that Hypnotism couldn't affect an Extraordinary One, it was quite effective against ordinary people. While Atel had some strength, she still fell within the category of ordinary people.

Atel's expression constantly changed, showing disbelief and struggle, but thinking of the difficult-to-suppress "desire" her body produced due to the y-pattern, she ultimately chose to give Liens a little trust.

So, she fully opened the door and let Liens into her room.

"Bang."

After Liens entered the room, she immediately closed the door. It was unclear whether she didn't want people to know Liens had entered her room, or if she didn't want people to know she was afflicted by the y-pattern.

The room was bright, with a magic stone lamp diligently performing its work.

Through the bright light, Liens could see a faint flush still lingering on Atel's face from her previous "solo casting."

This added a touch of fragility to her resolute face, giving off a contrasting feeling of wanting to resist but having to accept, making Atel even more alluring at that moment.

"What method will you use to remove the Y-pattern from me?"

Atel asked Liens, a slight frown on her face.

Because her "casting" was interrupted, her desire hadn't been fully vented, leaving her body still very sensitive.

Coupled with the fact that a single man and woman were now alone in the same room, even Liens's simple glance still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It felt as if Liens was caressing her sensitive body with rough hands. Firstseenon*.

Thinking this, Atel's face grew even redder, because a simple fantasy had caused her to leak a little below, which made her feel even more ashamed.

This body was too shameless.

"Hmm? Are you thinking about something? I see more elemental particles flowing into your body."

Liens asked, puzzled.

"Elements?"

Hearing this word, Atel looked at Liens even more intently.

Although she hadn't become an Extraordinary One, that didn't mean she didn't know about the existence of "elements."

If it weren't for her lack of power and influence, and being suppressed by others, with her swordsmanship level, she would have long been cultivated by the Knight Order and promoted to an Extraordinary One.

She once naively thought that it was just because she hadn't performed well enough or her qualifications were too shallow, so she didn't get the opportunity to be promoted to an Extraordinary Knight.

But under the subtle hints and suggestions of certain people, she realized that she had been targeted by the powerful.

This body had brought her excellent swordsmanship talent, making her strong, but it also bestowed upon her beauty, making her coveted.

She was unwilling to become a plaything in exchange for a chance at promotion, so she took on a dangerous mission, hoping to use this Credit to make the upper echelons see her capabilities.

Unfortunately, she failed and ended up being afflicted by the Y-pattern.

She dared not report her affliction with the y-pattern, as that would only incite more people's covetousness.

After all, with this y-pattern, her value as a plaything would only increase.

Therefore, heartbroken and tormented by the y-pattern, she ultimately chose to leave the Knight Order and return to her hometown after many years.

And now, a new hope emerged.

She hadn't expected that after returning to her remote hometown, she would still encounter an Extraordinary One and have hope of lifting the y-pattern.

Atel looked at Liens with expectation, hoping that he could end her suffering.
