It had been almost a month since Cassian had opened his domain, and his training to use it in combat had been quite fruitful. He could now maintain it for an hour or two without much strain, though anything beyond that still pushed his limits. Over the past month, aside from the first two leisurely weeks, he had been fully immersed in intense training sessions with Julius.
His friends from work occasionally visited him, sparring with him when they could. Robert and Lumine, however, couldn't hide their jealousy, especially as Cassian proudly gloated about becoming a circle warrior before them—a trait he'd likely picked up from Julius.
Still, they were happy for him, as were Cassandra and Alix, who even secured him a bonus for his contributions to the investigation of Abraham Cronus.
