Arthur frowned not because there was anything wrong with the Selena Family Core Mystic Art, much less because it was bad.
On the contrary, the Selena Family Core Mystic Art was simply too good-
[Mystic art detected: Ritual of the Barbarian King (Incomplete). Checking physique and spirituality...] [Check passed!] [Spend 3,000 XP to learn this mystic art? Yes/No]

Who knew how long it would
