The instant class was dismissed, Grimrose zoomed to his master's place!
"Master, I'm here!" Grimrose announced, bursting through the door with a grin.
"YIPPEE!" A woman shrieked with delight, launching herself into a super-tight hug.
"Woah, what's gotten into you?" Grimrose chuckled, playfully trying to wiggle free.
"I just really, really missed you, you know!" Susan beamed, her smile radiant.
"But we literally just saw each other yesterday!"
"So what? I like you!" Susan declared adoringly.
"Eh?!" Grimrose's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wait, you just st accepted me as a disciple, to be your lover ?!"
"Nope! I want to be your master AND your lover!" Susan exclaimed, reaching for another hug.
"Okay, okay! But let's take things slow, alright? We just met!" Grimrose smiled warmly, returning the hug.
"Yes, yes, YES!" Susan squealed with pure joy.
"But, uh, you know I already have a girl," Grimrose said sheepishly.
"WHO?!" Susan asked, her smile wavering slightly.
"My maid, Lia!" Grimrose chirped happily.
"Okay, but will you love me tooooo?" Susan asked, her voice laced with a hint of worry.
"Yes! If you're good and promise not to do anything crazy!" Grimrose grinned.
"YES!" Susan shouted triumphantly.

After training with Susan, Grimrose went to his private training room.
He wanted to test his new ability there.
As he walked into his training ground and locked the door, he said,

"What?! No way!" Grimrose exclaimed, utterly astonished. "Did I seriously live through countless lifetimes?!"
His eyes darted across the array of past selves, finally landing on his 999th life. "Whoa! This guy is unbelievably strong!"
"So, I can tap into the power of my past lives for a limited time?" He initially thought it was a bit of a letdown, but then he remembered just how incredibly powerful they all were, and a shiver of excitement ran down his spine.
"Okay, only one use per month is a bit of a downer, BUT! The stronger I get, the more I can use them without any limits!" As that thought sparked, he scanned through all his previous lives, a puzzled look forming on his face. "Wait a minute... Where's my first life?"
"Why don't I have any stats for my 1st life?!"
