’Oh, Nora’s power value must have increased even more between now and the first time I kissed her.’

Recalling the first day he kissed Nora, Austin recalled how Nora’s power value and mana capacity were at 3,050 and 570 respectively.

So since both had increased by 200, Austin had expected them to have increased to 3,250 and 770 respectively, but seeing that they had increased even more than that, Austin could only arrive at one conclusion.

’I guess Nora’s dungeon diving these past few days must have played a role in her power-up.’

’Well, it’s not much, but I’m happy she’s leveling up in her own little way.’

’As her future husband, it’s only expected of me to rain kisses all over her face for being such an amazing and hardworking wife.’

’Hmm. Come to think of it, I really do need to pick a day to train and see how strong I can be without the help of the system.’

’I’m living in a very dangerous world with kingdoms fighting dangerous wars against each other, so I think it would be wise for me to familiarise myself with how to handle a sword and how to fight.’

’Oh, but I don’t really know anything about sword fighting, so how am I even going to be good at it if I don’t have a trainer or someone like a mentor showing me the ropes.’ Austin muttered seriously in his mind before realising something very important, and his lips widened into a grin.

’Hehehe.... silly me. Why do I need a trainer or mentor when I have the perfect wife right next to me.’

’If anyone is going to teach me, then I want it to be my beautiful wolfkin.’ Austin made up his mind before drifting his gaze back to the screen in front of him.

His eyes swept through the words once again and settled on the part regarding his rewards, which included a healing potion recipe along with three talent cards.

’Hmm, I wonder what these talent cards are.’

’Well, I guess I should have a look at them then.’ Austin made up his mind and a card appeared before him.

The card was small and flat, roughly the size of his palm. It was smooth to the touch and slightly warm, with a plain surface that glowed faintly in a soft blue colour. There was a single symbol etched at its centre and nothing else on it.

Austin stared at the card and it slowly began to dissolve into tiny particles, and the moment it vanished, a new string of words appeared on his screen.

**

[Congratulations to the Host. Your Potion-Making talent and Mana Control talents have increased from Rank F to Rank E.]

[You have now gained even more knowledge on how to properly brew a potion and how to properly control your mana when used for conjuring during combat.]

**

’Woah, woah, woah.’

’So this is what a talent card can do?’

’Damn.’

’I love it!!’

’Alright. Now I’ve got to see what the other two talent cards can do as well.’ Austin hurriedly summoned the remaining two talent cards and they materialised on his palm once again.

**

[Congratulations to the Host. You have acquired a talent called Mana Sensitivity.]

[You have also acquired a new talent called Swordsmanship.]

[With your Mana Sensitivity talent, your ability to sense mana will be a lot more sensitive than any other human imaginable.]

[Also, with your newly acquired Swordsmanship talent, you can now build bonding moments with your future children, allowing them to see how cool and amazing you are as a father and mentor as well.]

[However, the latter talent has a limit the Host won’t be able to move beyond.]

[The same goes for the Potion-Making talent. Once the Host has reached this limit, certain rewards won’t be accessible to the Host, but may be accessible to the Host’s wives or children if their talents in related aspects are higher than yours.]

**

Austin scoffed softly as he stared at the words displayed before him.

He was naturally a Conjurer, and Swordsmanship was basically an enhancer-related talent, so it made sense for him to have a limit to how far he could reach with an enhancer-based talent.

So this simply meant that one of his wives would most likely be the one to continue his children’s training once he had taught them everything he knew.

In a way, Austin didn’t mind this because he saw it as a way for both him and his wives to bond even more with their children, and this way, everyone would have their own strengths and weaknesses to primarily focus on.

For example, his strengths were clearly related to conjuring mana for combat, and Nora’s were related to swordsmanship, so he could only hope that one of his future children would take after his class as well, so that the two of them could use that to bond even more.

’Hmm, speaking of class, I haven’t taken a look at my status in a while.’

’Maybe I should take a look at Nora’s as well.’

Austin lifted his gaze to the screen before him, then requested to see his status and that of Nora’s, and two transparent blue screens hovered before him, displaying his status and attributes right next to hers.
