Over the past three days, Idan, Arabel, Nemo and Eulalia have experienced many new experiences and discovered a lot about their abilities.
Idan, being limited in the use of his bloodline, focused on practicing the "Sun Sword Style" throughout this ti. In three days, he managed to raise the level of "Sun Sword Slash" by one, reaching the second level.
Unlike Idan, Arabel did not devote all her attention to swordsmanship. With a lot of experience and talent with the sword, she transford into her Valkyrie form from ti to ti in order to get used to the new sensations and fight in this unusual guise.
Fighting as a Valkyrie was a completely new experience for her. Arabel body reacted differently to what was happening, and she had to gradually adapt to it. Because of the constant change in Arabel's appearance, it was difficult to distinguish and get used to such drastic changes in her body.
Not only have Idan and Arabel improved their swordsmanship, but they've also noticeably improved their basic movents and thinking. Now they didn't just swing their swords, but sought to attack the weak points of the beasts, minimizing their movents and using tily rushes and retreats.
The experience gained while butchering the carcass helped them accurately find the most vulnerable points of the beasts, which greatly increased their effectiveness in battle.
The couple tried to use their "Eye of Identification" ability on each new beast as often as possible. During their first attempts, the System gave them the task again — to use this ability and identify the weaknesses of 50 beasts. The reward for completing the task was to raise the level of the "Eye of Identification".
Over the past three days, the couple has not yet been able to perform even half of the required number of beast analyses — only 17. Most of the random information they received was unnecessary, and only occasionally they were able to determine the true weakness of the beast, which replenished their piggy bank of successful analyses.
"Belle, you were great in your Valkyrie form!" Idan suddenly said, speaking to Arabel through a ntal link as they sat around the campfire enjoying dinner.
The dinner was prepared in advance, before their arrival, and thanks to special storage facilities, it could be stored longer and not spoil.
Arabel almost choked on these unexpected words and, having mastered herself, cast a slightly reproachful glance at Idan. He averted his eyes and pretended not to notice it.
"My bloodline is undoubtedly powerful, but the drastic change in body sensation and rank has a strong effect, and it's hard for to get used to it," Arabel sighed and shared her thoughts about her Valkyrie bloodline.
"Heh, you have the advantage now, so don't let it go! When I take control of my bloodline, I will quickly catch up with you!" Idan suddenly challenged, and Arabel reacted imdiately.
"Only in your dreams!" she replied confidently.
"Heh, let's see!"— Idan did not doubt his words.
"Do you want to bet?" Arabel couldn't resist offering to make a bet.
"For what?" Idan was imdiately interested.
"Well..." — Arabel began to think about what they could bet on, and imdiately ca up with a wonderful idea.
"Since our bet is who will be the first to fully master his bloodline, I suggest the following: whoever loses will serve the winner in the form of his bloodline for a whole day as a servant. Well how? Are you ready?"
Arabel felt her cheeks flush as she offered this. She imagined Idan, in the form of the Alpha of Fire, following her orders, and her heart began to beat faster.
When Idan heard Arabel's proposal, he also imagined her in the form of a beautiful white-haired Ice Valkyrie fulfilling all his desires. His blood rushed to his head from these thoughts, and he felt his temples pounding.
"It's a deal," Idan quickly agreed, fearing Arabel might change her mind.
"Great!" said Arabel, accepting the terms.
[Ding! The first bet between Hosts has been discovered!]
[Ding! This System takes on the role of a judge!]
[Ding! The content of the bet: "Which of the Hosts will be the first to master his first bloodline"]
[At the ti of the start of the bet, the percentage of synchronization with the bloodline of the Fire Alpha Host Idan Fein is 57%! Synchronization with the bloodline of the Ice Valkyrie Host Arabel Morgan is 71%].
[The winner is the Host who brings the synchronization to 100 percent!]
[The result of the bet: The loser will serve in the form of his bloodline for 1 day as a servant and fulfill all the requirents of the winner!]
[Due to the fact that this is the first bet between the Hosts, the System will give the winner a choice of one personal reward. The list of awards will be given out personally and will not be shown to the other party!]
Idan and Arabel stared, srized, at the notifications that appeared in front of them one by one.
Their usual conversation and bet suddenly turned into sothing more.
The tension in the bet was growing. None of them wanted to give in.
The system then offered each of them a choice of possible rewards to receive if they won. This was another incentive to make every effort and win this bet.
The Reward for Idan Fein:
[A set of custom-made evening suits from the Supre Tailor System, a Candlelit Dinner certificate from the Supre Chef System, and a set of clothes from the Supre Lust System]
Seeing the three rewards offered, especially the third one, Idan's right eye twitched. He couldn't understand why such an award appeared on the list for him.
An award for Arabel Morgan:
[A Beauty pill from the Supre Alchemist System, a Candlelit Dinner certificate from the Supre Chef System, and a set of clothes from the Supre Lust System]
Arabel was also amazed by the awards on offer, and two of them particularly interested her. She had already failed to get the Beauty Pill twice, and now she was sure that if she won the bet, she would definitely get it this ti. But she was also attracted to the "Candlelit Dinner"! She couldn't decide which reward to choose if she won.
Arabel did not pay attention to the third award and did not decide whether she would choose it anyway. Although the thought flashed through her mind that if she had the opportunity in the future and if everything went well for her and Idan, then maybe…
Due to the dispute, the slightly oppressive atmosphere around the couple changed dramatically. They both looked at each other with enthusiasm, challenging each other, which did not escape the gaze of others.
No one knew what had happened between the couple, and they could only guess.
