Having gone through this several times now, the Lad knew what to expect, and instead of trying to fight against the force bearing down on his entire being, the Lad simply tilted his eyes up to observe his Summons.
Glacia, although trembling immensely and with a wild look in her eyes, stood her ground, fruit in her mouth and poised, ready to rush forward.
Meanwhile, Nyria, who was seeing this for the first time, had retreated practically to the opposite side of the camp and had her back pressed firmly against the wall.
'Br...brother...brother....' She whimpered, terrified at what she was seeing. She had fully believed that after being warned several times and having had things explained to her, she'd be able to stand on guard, just like her sister; however, Nyria was quickly proven wrong.
When the pressure descended, a primal fear coursed through the birb's mind, causing her instincts to scream "FLEE!" because she felt as if there were a giant monster staring directly through her, making her think that if she so much as moved a millimeter, she'd be killed on the spot.
Luckily, and as it always had in the past, the pressure vanished just as quickly as it appeared, and with a loud HUFF, Aoni collapsed forward like a marionette whose strings had been cut.
Catching himself by bracing his hands on his knees, the Lad sat there for about a minute, sweating and panting as if he'd just run a mile.
"That shit never gets easier," thinking aloud and looking down at his hands, Aoni couldn't quite figure out WHAT had changed, but this time, there was something different about his body.
| A small portion of the User's Attribute has been Unlocked, allowing for a partial awakening of 3rd Star Benefits. |
| Current Potential Rank Maximum has been increased by One Stage |
*Blink* *Blink* *Blink* *Blink*
'Abbababa, what now?' blinking several times as he babbled mentally, Aoni's eyes flicked between the words on his AN and his Traveler's display, and the first thing he noticed was that the Arrow, which should have vanished upon upgrading his Attribute's potential, was still there.
'Hold....what in the hell does that even mean? What the heck is a partial awakening of benefits? How is that possible?'

| It shouldn't be; however, it has been determined that the User's Progress will be slowed immensely given the current restrictions presented by the User's Attribute; as such, a one-time allotment has been allowed |
'THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION YOU USELESS, UGHHHHHHHH!' Slapping his thighs with a muted sound thanks to his hide pants, Aoni straightened his back while furiously inhaling through his nose and exhaling out his mouth.
| All will be revealed in time; stop being impatient and continue progressing; only then will you obtain the answers you seek |
'Get that cryptic bullshit out of my face,' swatting at the air as if the window was a bug, Aoni huffed one more time before checking his points and seeing the upgrade had cost him 100 points but yielded 50 in return.
"ooOo, gao Oooo," *oh great, he's doing it again.*
"Clack...." *uh-huh*
"gaoo, gaooo?" *does that mean hes not hungry or hot?'
"Che...eee." *I...think so?*
"Hm? What are you two chattering about over there?" raising an eyebrow since they'd drawn his attention, Aoni asked shamelessly.
'Nothing, brother, we are just wondering if you are alright.' Nyria replied, but the way her eyes darted side to side spoke another story altogether.
