Holding his shoulder, Shane couldn't help but complain

"Couldn't you have held back at least a little bit? I didn't want to use potions that would decrease my mana purity through their impurities, and purified potions are too expensive for me to even consider purchasing them!!"

Frer, who seemed to be her true self when it was just the two of them, sat opposite him, utilizing her mana gathering technique, trying to comprehend what exactly he was doing.

"I couldn't help but use a little bit more force...the thick layer of mana particles around you is trying to protect you from danger… You didn't even annex it yet and it's still guarding you? And what is this suction force??"

Shane had already noticed that something was off with the mana particles around him but hearing the truth was still not easy to digest as he mumbled

"The mana particles are trying to protect me?"
