Chapter 24: Mother's Jealously.

"Haa... Haa..." After a few minutes of constantly swinging her limbs without even being able to touch Lumine, Alicia was also getting a little tired.

"Okay, we can stop now." With Lumine's words, Alicia stopped using her moves and panted heavily.

Alicia was flabbergasted, thinking, 'I have practiced martial arts for way longer than this. How can I get tired so fast?'

As if reading her thoughts, Lumine said, "You were using Mana coating while doing martial arts. So you needed to focus more than before. Which mentally exhausted you."

Alicia nodded in understanding. When Luis came near them, he gave Alicia a bottle of mana potion and a towel to wipe her sweat.

"Thank you," Alicia whispered. Luis just gave a charming smile and said, "No problem."

*Clap*

"Okay, it's your turn, Luis." Lumine disturbed their little flirting without hesitation. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Alicia was a little distance far from them as they stood in front of each other.

"Mom, are you angry about something?" Luis asked carefully, as he saw the annoyed look on his mother's face.

Lumine gave a fake smile and said, "Why would I be angry when my unfilial son brought a towel and drinks for his fiancee when he didn't even care about his mother?"

Luis looked at her weirdly and retorted, "But you didn't even break a sweat."

That was true. With her rank, there was no way she would break a sweat over something like this.

"Does it matter?" Lumine pouted.

'Isn't it?' Luis felt a headache coming, so he instantly changed his words. "I will remember next time."

"Can..."

"Can?"

Luis suddenly raised his head. His eyes looked teary and full of pleading. It could make anyone's heartbreak seeing his expression. "Can you let me off once?"

Lumine felt her chest tighten and thought she was a bad mother who was abusing her little child. 'How could I be so cruel? Even if he was pretending, he still worked hard.'

Lumine's eyes became moist as she looked at Luis lovingly. "Don't worry my son, it's alright. I know there must be a reason behind this."

Luis nodded his head as he said in a solemn expression, "Yes Mom, but I can't tell you yet." Lumine nodded her head in understanding. "It's fine. You can tell me when you are ready."

'I'm saved.' Luis thought inwardly and smiled. "Thank you, Mom."

Lumine looked at him with a smile. As she wiped the tears from her eyes, she said, "I won't punish you, but I'll make you work hard."

Luis nodded his head seriously. Hence, he once again started attacking Lumine.

"Don't just put powers behind your punches."

"You are leaving a lot of openings."

Soon after, Alicia also joined them as she also started fighting Lumine.

This time, whenever there was a flaw in their movements, Lumine would point it out. Fighting one of the Overlord (S) rank powerhouse, their combat sense was improving rapidly.

After the combat training, Lumine taught them muscle-strengthening techniques using mana. Both Luis and Alicia had been taught Human Anatomy since childhood, so it was easy for them to grasp it. Now they just needed to practice it while applying it in battle.

Muscle strengthening, as the name suggests, is the strengthening of a body's muscle by using mana. It can give a boost in strength or agility based on the type of muscle that is strengthened.

For this, a lot of practice is needed, otherwise the muscles will tear apart if they can't handle the input of mana. That's why with practice, the muscles can get slowly used to it.
