I decided to keep wearing the bracelet so I could check it as soon as it was finished. Just as we were nearly done sorting everything out, Geonil came by.

"Look at this, Brother!"

Two more translucent hands had sprouted from Geonil's back. They were made of martial aura.

Each hand looked as if it were clad in a hard, pangolin-like shell, and held a sword and shield. He looked like a general straight out of mythology.

"This younger brother has finally grasped martial aura!"

"Already?"

It hadn't been long since I returned from the auction. Even more surprising was how much the Hunters who'd stayed in the Empire had progressed with their training while I was away.

"How are the first batch doing?"

"Most of them have awakened martial aura."

"Really?"...
