This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

the next morning.

After breakfast, sitting around the table, Thor told Julia about his plan to advance to the extraordinary level.

Yulia's little head showed great surprise.

"Eh, me?"

She hadn't expected Thor to elevate her to the extraordinary realm so quickly.

"A superhuman..."

Yulia murmured to herself, looking down and imagining what she would look like when she ascended to the extraordinary realm.

Although Thor had mentioned this to her before, she always felt that it was something so far out of reach.

Thor patted her on the shoulder and led her to his usual training room.

Inside the room, a huge wooden bathtub had been prepared, filled with all sorts of rare medicinal herbs.

Beside the bathtub, a real magic circle was engraved on the ground.

"Go into the bathtub first and soak for an hour."

Thor's voice rang out, leaving no room for argument.

With her back to her, Yulia blushed and said shyly:

"Young Master, if you really want to see it, I can't refuse..."

She felt dizzy at the thought of what might happen.

After waiting for a while, Thor still did not respond.

Perhaps he was also hesitant.

As time passed, Yulia grew increasingly nervous.

Still no one responded.

"Young Master?"

Confused, Yulia turned around shyly.

The room was empty.

There was no one in sight.

Thor had already left.

He never planned to stay here in the first place.

They even thoughtfully closed the door.

Yulia is the only one in the house now.

Realizing this, Yulia pouted somewhat unhappily and said angrily:

"Really..."

Yulia felt somewhat disappointed.

Being alone doesn't make me nervous, but it also lacks that sense of excitement.

With a hint of temper, she took off her clothes and stepped into the tub, feeling the scalding water.

Yulia bent her knees and sat in the basin, the water just up to her chin.

A pure and beautiful face was reflected on the clear water.

A face as round as an egg, bright and sparkling eyes, a high and straight nose, and delicate, rosy lips.

The reflection in the water was so calm.

Then, a pair of slender, fair hands rose from beneath the water, disrupting the beautiful face in the water, splashing water droplets, and rippling the surface.

Yulia rested her head against the wooden tub, tilted her head back, and looked up, refusing to look at her reflection in the water.

"He did say that he prefers me to Miss Saintess."

Perhaps due to the steam from the hot water, she felt a wave of heat.

"That doesn't prove anything; it might just mean he dislikes Miss Saint even more."

She thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Instead, she felt a little irritable.

Yulia was getting a little frustrated, so she started playing in the water, gently patting the surface with her little hands, splashing water everywhere.

"Aaaaaah!"

After playing for a while, she finally calmed down, and the gloom in her heart disappeared.

Once she calmed down, Yulia stretched out her hands, which had gotten wet from playing in the water, and held them in front of her to examine them closely.

Her skin was fair and smooth, without any scars.

Not long ago, these were hands covered in scars and ravaged.

The wounds on her hands have healed, and perhaps the wounds in her heart have begun to heal as well.

For some reason, whenever I'm with Thor, I always feel happy, and time always seems to fly by.

Thor has all sorts of clever ideas.

Yulia also enjoyed seeing others being tortured to the point of disbelief.

She thought it was a lot of fun, and besides, no one got hurt.

"That's wonderful," Yulia said sincerely.

The present moment is undoubtedly one of happiness and joy.

She has never met her parents.

Perhaps this is what family feels like now.

However, Yulia did not understand.

What exactly is my identity in this family?

......

......

In another room, Thor was engrossed in reading and studying magical knowledge.

He had just advanced to the third rank and still had a lot to learn and adapt to, so of course he didn't have time to watch others take a bath.

The system panel lit up, and he squinted.

[Yulia: Affection increased by 8]

Current favorability rating: 50/100

Thor looked at the sudden increase of 8 points in favorability, his heart filled with a mixture of doubt and relief.

The puzzle is that taking a shower can increase favorability by 8 points, even when you're not even there.

The relief was that Yulia seemed even better than he had imagined...

He didn't know how to describe it.

Perhaps it should be said that I trust myself more.

He had a feeling:

Yulia's favorability progression is noticeably different from others.

With the same level of affection, Yulia's emotions are much stronger.

It might be because of Yulia's special environment.

To her, he was everything.

[Congratulations! Your favorability rating has surpassed 50, and the "Initial Trust" milestone has been achieved.]

You've finally crossed the threshold of friendship, and a unique feeling has begun to blossom. However, this emotion still needs time to develop. Different people cope with this period differently.

So, deal with this period in the way you prefer.

[Bond Level Achieved: 2]

Please select the reward for Bond Level 2.

【1.陪伴LV.2：尤莉娅的得到经验时候会按照比例共享给你（不影响尤莉娅本人获得的经验），共享比例额外提升20%（当前为10%，选择后变化为30%）。】

[2. Cooperation LV.1: When attacking the same target as Yulia, damage is increased by 10%.]

[3. Assist LV.1: Increases the effectiveness of buffs related to you and Julia by 10%.]

Thor looked at it and saw that it was still the same three choices as when the favorability rating was 25.

It seems that the choices on a single option are exponentially cumulative.

This means that taking a certain route yields higher returns.

Without much hesitation, he chose Level 2 companionship.

[Selected: Companionship LV.2]

[Companionship LV.2: When Yulia gains experience, it will be shared with you proportionally (this will not affect the experience Yulia herself gains), with a sharing ratio of 30%.]

[Next milestone: Affection level 75]

Thor waited a moment, expecting the quest to reach 50 favor points to refresh, but the system did not respond.

It seems I need to finish the tasks at hand first before I can refresh the task that requires 50 favorability points.

......

An hour and a half later, Thor entered the room and saw Julia, who had finished bathing and was dressed.

At this moment, Yulia was wearing a large pink bathrobe, revealing her fair and slender legs. Her hair was wet, and her face was flushed.

She stood beside the magic circle, head bowed, and whispered:

"Let's begin, young master."

She was ready to rise to the top.

"Stand in the center of the magic circle."

Thor began to give instructions, and Julia obediently followed them, walking to the very center of the magic circle.

The library book mentioned earlier that the steps for Yulia to ascend to the extraordinary were very simple.

The previous mission description mentioned that Yulia reached Tier 4 after her second awakening.

So, this should only be the first awakening.

Thor began to chant the incantation, and the magic circle beneath Julia's feet slowly brightened.

Pale blue magical particles appeared in the surrounding air, becoming increasingly conspicuous, and countless shimmering starlight slowly rotated around Yulia.

Soon, the starlight stopped and began to converge on Julia.

Yulia looked at the points of light around her, her heart filled with curiosity, and stared at these novel little gadgets from all sides.

Countless starlight composed of magic touched Yulia's body and melted into her skin.

A powerful energy gradually flowed into the body from the limbs.

The energy grew stronger and stronger, even causing a distinct burning sensation on the skin.

At a certain moment, the external energy suddenly disappeared, and the energy within the body also subsided.

Yulia gently exhaled her orchid-scented breath.

She felt changes in her body.

Sight, hearing, and an already keen sense of smell—everything became even more acute.

She could even sense the lingering magic in the air.

It seems that her physical fitness has also been further enhanced.

The promotion ceremony was over, and Thor took out the tools and gloves he had prepared beforehand to peel off the newly formed slime from Yulia's tail.

This is a secretion that occurs only once in a lifetime, when one ascends to the extraordinary realm; it is also the raw material for Dragon's Tears.

"Eek~"

Yulia, whose tail was being held, shuddered and straightened up instantly, trembling slightly.

Thor ignored him and quickly collected the slime into a basin.

That leaves only the other materials to purify Dragon's Tears.

At that moment, a system notification suddenly appeared in Thor's field of vision.

Congratulations on completing the hidden quest!
