Ron's academic achievements gained recognition, securing him research funding. He later visited Princess Eve, whose health had improved but who clearly held deeper feelings for him than a mere student. Eve expressed disappointment when Ron revealed he had purchased a permanent residence, wishing he would stay at her pavilion instead. Ron agreed to visit more frequently to continue their knowledge exchange and help with her 'Demon Devouring' issue.

Eve’s eyes lit up immediately when the subject was brought up.

"Oh, Master, it's so much better now! You can't even imagine what this change signifies for me!"

She gracefully stood and took a few steps around the chamber, her renewed health evident:

"Not even a year ago, despite being in the most secluded magical zones, I endured a constant, agonizing tearing sensation.

Every breath felt like inhaling embers, and each beat of my heart brought fresh waves of torment."

Her voice began to waver, not from pain, but from overwhelming emotion:

"But now... in this environment with such minimal magic, I can actually live like a regular person!"

Turning back to Ron, Eve's amethyst eyes welled with tears:

"While I still cannot perform Meditation Cultivation, and attempting to channel even a wisp of Magic Power causes acute agony, simply existing normally is a miracle I hadn't dared to dream of for the past fourteen years!"

A complex mixture of emotions washed over Ron.

He was starting to grasp the roots of Eve's profound dependence on him.

For someone afflicted by illness since childhood, even the slightest alleviation is an immeasurable blessing.

"And all of this is thanks to your Favor..."

Eve settled back into her seat, her gaze becoming intensely focused, almost fervent:

"I can perceive it clearly: every time you impart knowledge or guidance, that pure Favor permeates my being, actively counteracting the Demon Devouring's insidious effects."

She delicately extended a slender hand, resting it over her chest:

"At times, I can even visualize your Favor manifesting as a faint, golden web of light within me, steadily pushing back the encroaching chaos."

"However..."

Eve's expression suddenly clouded over, a shadow crossing her features:

"This relief is still so limited. I remain unable to truly cultivate, to ascend to the ranks of an Official Wizard. And what if... what if one day you no longer require my assistance..."

Her words trailed off, but the implication hung heavy in the air.

Should the constant influx of Ron's Favor cease, her precarious condition could very well regress.

This stark realization fueled an even deeper, almost unhealthy, level of dependency.

"Eve."

Ron's tone grew serious.

"I need you to understand something crucial. My assistance isn't born from pity or a sense of obligation; it stems from my firm belief in your inherent value."

His words ignited a spark of hope anew in Eve's eyes.

"Your intellect, your profound knowledge, your unparalleled Insight – therein lies your true worth. Even without the burden of the Demon Devouring, you are undeniably a brilliant prodigy."

Upon hearing his encouraging words, Eve slightly lowered her head, concealing her reaction.

Her heart swelled with gratitude and comfort, accompanied by an indescribable sense of contentment.

Yet, beneath it all simmered an almost possessive desire.

She felt an urgent need to ensure that the one person capable of saving her would never depart.

"Thank you for saying that, Master."

Her voice softened to an exquisite gentleness, though a steely resolve glinted in her eyes:

"I will dedicate myself to becoming even more valuable, ensuring I am worthy of both your attention and your aid."

Seeking to dispel the palpable tension, Ron smoothly steered the conversation toward a different topic:

"Speaking of research, my primary reason for visiting today relates to your insights on advanced applications of Spiritual Diversion techniques."

The mention of this subject brought a flush of excitement to Eve's cheeks.

The feeling of being needed served, to a significant degree, as a balm for her earlier anxieties.

"Of course! I've actually made several recent discoveries in that field."

The Black-haired Princess gracefully guided him toward an elegant bookshelf tucked away in a corner of the room.

"The fundamental diversion methods I previously shared primarily focused on enabling Spiritual Power to switch seamlessly between different tasks.

However, truly High Tier applications necessitate the realization of parallel processing and synergistic advancement of Spiritual Power."

Retrieving a weighty notebook from the shelf, Eve's demeanor shifted, becoming imbued with professional confidence.

She indicated a complex diagram illustrating Spiritual Power flow within the notebook:

"Conventional diversion techniques merely facilitate the redirection of Spiritual Power among various conduits, akin to water flowing through separate channels.

But I've discovered that, with precise construction, Spiritual Power can actually operate concurrently across multiple pathways, forming a self-reinforcing network."

Her finger lightly traced the diagram, causing the corresponding lines to illuminate with each subtle movement:

"The cornerstone of this approach lies in establishing 'resonance nodes' for the Spiritual Power.

When multiple streams of Spiritual Power synchronize at a particular frequency, their collective efficacy escalates exponentially."

Ron meticulously studied the intricate theoretical diagrams, a sense of profound wonder blooming within him.

Eve's research had clearly attained an astonishing level of sophistication.

"Could this concept of multi-resonance be what's required at the Moon Level to master 'Combined Magic circuits'?"

He inquired, his interest visibly piqued.“Precisely!” Eve’s voice was filled with undeniable pride. “One of the defining traits of the Moon Level is the capacity to keep multiple magic circuits functioning stably at the same time. When you’ve grasped sufficiently sophisticated diversion techniques,” she continued, flipping to a page revealing more intricate technical diagrams, “you’ll be able to execute supplementary operations using your residual Spiritual Power while simultaneously casting your main spell." The black-haired girl moved towards a circular table in the room’s center, beginning to straighten its surface. “Advanced instruction in Spiritual Diversion demands direct consciousness linkage. I must imbue you with my Spiritual Power to guide you, allowing you to personally feel the operational flow of those interconnected circuits.”
