The commotion outside marked the beginning of the enlistnt process. There was so ti from then until the enlistnt competition began.
“Dahli, I have a very important task to entrust to you,” Vaan ntioned while hugging Dahlia’s head close to his chest before he asked, “Do you think you can do it for ?”
“Anything for you, Vahn. If it’s sothing I can do, I will do it,” Dahlia firmly replied after a brief pause.
“Anything? Even though I haven’t told you what I needed you to do for ?” Vaan further inquired with a calm smile.
“You said it was sothing very important to you, Vahn. In that case, I will definitely do it even if it might put my life in danger,” Dahlia said with determination.
“You have done so much for soone like , Vahn. Since you ca to , the library has never been ssy, even if it’s only been a few days. All of my problems were solved one by one, and my magic circle has grown at an alarming speed.”
“I can feel that I am getting close to becoming a Mid-stage Senior Witch, even though it hasn’t been long since I’ve risen to the ranks of Senior Witches. I’ve always felt indebted to you these past few days. I’m glad you finally gave an opportunity to repay you,” Dahlia stated.
“I see. So I an that much to you, Dahli,” Vaan calmly uttered with a slight smile despite knowing full well about her feelings. “However, it’s nothing serious as risking your life for . I need you to cover for . Pretend I’ve been with you the whole ti and turn away anyone looking for .”
“Just that? That is definitely sothing I can do,” Dahlia agreed first before she asked with surprise, “But what are you planning to do, Vahn?”
“I will be joining the punitive expedition to the Red Goblin Mountains under a different identity since there is no way Lord Helia will allow to join, given my importance.”
“What? But that’s too dangerous! You can’t go, Vahn.”
Without surprise, Dahlia quickly expressed her strong objection to Vaan joining the punitive expedition.
However, Vaan persuaded her with his eloquent tongue, reassuring her that it was not as dangerous as she thought. With the Grand Inquisitor, Headmaster Astoria, and Lord Helia being part of the expedition, not to ntion hundreds of troops, the danger was relatively small and controllable.
Furthermore, Vaan partly boasted so of his strength, reminding Dahlia of his duel with Bram Krauss.
“Fine. Since you are so sure, I won’t stop you. However, how can you join without being recognized by Lord Helia and the others?”
“That’s… a secret,” Vaan replied with a sly smile.
Dahlia pouted with an unhappy look, but she chose not to pry into Vaan’s secrets. She feared that doing so would make him unhappy with her. She wouldn’t want sothing like that to happen.
Soti later, Dahlia got dressed and left under Vaan’s request.
Right after Vaan confird Dahlia was gone and that no one was spying on his room, he shut the windows. Then, he waved his hand over his items, storing all his clothes and weapons in his storage space.
‘Before joining the enlistnt competition and competing for a spot, I need to do sothing.’
Right after having that thought, Vaan took out a low-rank spirit stone and directly popped it into his mouth.

‘As expected, I can use the pure mana from mana stones to increase my aura cultivation like this,’ Vaan mused.
With the system’s help, his cultivation speed could be considered monstrous.
Other aura users needed months of extre physical exercise and specific martial movents to guide their blood flow through the sa circulation path.
However, Vaan could skip all that by simply using the system.
Nevertheless, The Way of the White Tiger was just a temporary aura circulation thod.
As long as he obtained more aura circulation thods of the sa rank or higher, he was confident in formulating a better aura circulation thod.
Aura circulation thods weren’t fixed. Thus, he didn’t have to worry about backlashes from changing aura circulation thods mid-way.
‘Aura will be able to disguise my sturdy body and strength, but this amount is too lacking. I still need more,’ Vaan mused.
