Chapter 84 She discovered it
'An act of betrayal, eh.' She glared at Klaus.
It had never crossed her mind to betray her Clan before, and while she knew the importance of reporting this sort of thing to the Clan, she also knew what it would entail for Klaus if she did so.
He couldn't oppose a Clan as large and powerful as hers when he couldn't even escape her. He would become really easy prey to grab and possibly be imprisoned, perhaps even made a slave.
Naturally, all of this would be done for the benefit of the family, so if she thought about it carefully, it would greatly benefit her family. Still, her heart had a strange heaviness when she thought about the possibility of 'selling' him.
It was as if her body, heart, or her very soul were against such an act. And that's why the idea of not reporting it to her clan popped into her head.
'I need time...' She thought, realizing that it was really more of a time problem than anything else.
Maybe if she trained him carefully and made him stronger, he would eventually have a bargaining chip with her family.
Or...
'Introduce him to the family? To do that would be selling him too...' She suddenly frowned as an idea occurred to her.
'Present him as part of the family?' she thought. Her mind worked quickly to understand what that meant, so her beautiful, delicate, milk-white face turned red as a tomato.
She quickly shook her head from side to side, wanting to clear her mind of such thoughts.
'Phew... Weird thoughts, weird thoughts.' She repeated herself, and with astonishing speed, she was able to control her thoughts and emotions and return to normal.
'Maybe I should tell him to delay sending a report of him to buy some time.' She thought.
While it was true that she could hide some things in reports, it was usually not a good idea to do so because if the Clan found out about something like that, they would be brutally punished, even someone as beloved by the Clan as Jasmine would be no exception to that rule.
That's why it would be best to report everything or at least a significant part of it, and whatever was reported, once the Clan knows that they reported something about someone, the Clan will send people to investigate that and, if necessary, bring that person to the Clan.
That's why she was so concerned and couldn't think of a way to do it.
She didn't even understand why she was so worried. She had barely seen Klaus twice, and they had only interacted for 3 days. But there was worry in her heart, which she was aware of.
"Sigh..." A big sigh came out of her mouth, and she looked up at the sky, trying to clear her mind.
Klaus was so focused on his training that he didn't notice that the duo had been watching and chatting about him just now.
That's because his body was steadily improving, and his energy was increasing. Although he didn't seem to be leveling up himself, the reality was that with each passing second, he was a little stronger, in a steady, progressive improvement that he was finding a little difficult to understand.

He had numerous questions in his head, but he knew that thinking about them was not an option at the moment.
His training was more important, and he devoted himself to it.
At the same time, he tried to accelerate rapidly within himself the process of moving the cursed energy.
'Every moment that passes, I feel that I am close to achieving it, but at the same time, I feel that I have a long time to go. It's a strange and annoying feeling, so I want to finish it soon.' He thought.
Even so, he still had to be patient because, although the process had speeded up enormously now that he managed to grasp Realization and the other Basic Concepts correctly, it was still slow.
So he was patient and slowly tried to move it through his body, although that was complicated.
As he was immersed in his intense training, both physically and mentally, the hours passed, and it wasn't until Jasmine stopped him that he realized the flow of time.
"Has it been that long?" he exclaimed, looking at the sun, which was already close to sunset.
Jasmine smiled at him, "Your friend has already left, and my brother will be here in a little while, as we need to teach you what you need to do to advance to the next level, and he is better at that." She gestured for him to sit next to her before speaking.
"It seems that when you focus on training, nothing can get you out of there."
He smiled and planned to wipe away his sweat, but suddenly, he saw Jasmine point her hand at him, and a strange cold breeze hit his body from top to bottom. Every corner of his body was tucked in by that cold breeze that crossed over, dried him completely, and even wiped him clean.
He was in shock.
"I've given you a strange energy bath. I guess it's the first time you've felt it, although it's not as effective as a bath with water, for when you're doing long missions, it's convenient." She said, smiling a little.
"I didn't think something like this would exist; thank you very much, Miss Jasmine."
"That's fine." She replied casually. "I noticed you were thoughtful during training. Do you have a habit of thinking so much while training? I think today's training you did based on pure muscle memory, that's amazing, as I can see it was very effective."
Klaus was surprised that she knew that but didn't hide it. "That's right. I tend to do it often. Training while meditating is a way to relax the mind. You should try it; it's effective."
She shook her head. "It's effective for avoiding stress and understanding when you don't understand anything, but I have seen it be effective only in you for actual training. Your will seems very powerful, as you can employ it without needing to desire it."
'Ohh... Now I understand why she's quizzical.' Klaus frowned.
He hadn't realized that. If it weren't for her words, he wouldn't have realized that there is no such muscle memory for the will you must put on energy or other mental issues. And if it does exist, it would be so weak that it could not be considered one.
'This is a problem... My secret will be readily apparent. I don't need muscle memory for it because all I need to do is punch.' His heart skipped a beat after realizing that.
