Wyatt summoned his grimoire, placing the Royal Teleportation card in the cardholder he immediately equipped the A-rank teleportation card and activated it. Then vanishing from his spot he appeared about a meter away. Soon he tried to use the card again only to learn that he had to wait for 2 seconds before using it again.
"2 seconds cool down for a meter-long teleportation, that is 33.4 minutes cool down for a kilometer-long teleportation," Wyatt complained, as the card failed to satisfy his requirements.
"Wyatt, it is not easy to make a low-rank long-distance teleportation card," The Field Marshal responded, hearing Wyatt complain.
"Yes, thank you for the cards," Wyatt thanked the Field Marshal for her cards. Even though they were not to his taste, it was better than nothing.
"Look at it, it's morning already. Wyatt, when do you plan to get some sleep?" the Field Marshal asked as enjoyed the first daybreak.
"Too many things I need to get done, not enough time," Wyatt continued to complain letting out a helpless sigh.
In her space wedge, the Field Marshal rolled her eyes listening to Wyatt complain. However, if she knew how many problems he was multitasking alone, she would feel sorry for him.
"Enough about me, I heard that you are training Anna. How are you doing that when you are looking after me?" Wyatt enquired the Field Marshal about Anna under the pretense of a doubt.
It might seem sudden to the Field Marshal, but Wyatt has been planning to enquire her about Anna since their first meeting. But he did not know how to ask her about Anna without causing any misunderstanding. In the end, his heart's foolishness trumped his mind's reasoning.
After all, it has been a while since Wyatt saw Anna. The last time he saw her was right before Colleen brought him to the Southern Capital city, the same as in Susan's case. But at least with Susan, he was able to talk to her over grimoire but he has had zero contact with Anna since then.
"Fine," Anna shouted that she would behave. Only then did the echo of the word 'Behave' die.
"Anna, complete your training fast. I am waiting for you," Wyatt decided to keep his talk with Anna short, getting a feeling that his face time with Anna was not a part of the Field Marshal's plans for her training.
"What, hey, we just met—" Anna was shocked to see that the space window closed even before she got to talk to Wyatt.
"Grandaunt, open the space window. Grandaunt!" Anna yelled unable to process what just happened. She continued to plead with her grandaunt, "Grandaunt, let me talk to Wyatt. I promise I will behave."
"Grandaunt, bring Wyatt back. I promise to train harder."
...
"Boy, what was that about?" The Field Marshal asked Wyatt wondering why he texted her to close the space window.
"I don't want to hinder Anna's training. I miss Anna, but I also do not want to see her getting beaten to death, unable to struggle or resist. Do what you need to do. I can wait a few years for her," Wyatt understood how important it was for Anna to shape up. Especially, with the demon invasion on the brink. So, he steeled his heart, and cheering for Anna he kept his message short. Not wanting to keep her from her training.
"Why can't that girl be as sensible as you? Since you don't mind. I will use you to motivate her. Hopely, she will take her training more seriously after this," The Field Marshal has tried numerous ways to motivate Anna except using Wyatt. But now that she heard Wyatt ask her to do what she must, she understood that Wyatt was subtly hinting at her how to motivate Anna with his actions. Anna's reaction and promises to train harder were the evidence that Wyatt's proposal to use him to motivate Anna toward her training was effective.
...
"Girl, train harder if I see faster progress in your training. I will arrange the meeting with Wyatt again," the Field Marshal finally answered Anna's calls and proposed that if she took her train seriously and made progress then she did not mind letting her meet Wyatt again.
"Okay, I will train harder," Anna said resolutely. She immediately understood why her grandaunt let her meet Wyatt in the middle of her training, it was to use him to motivate her.
Anna did not hate this, however she regretted not telling Wyatt that she missed him when she had the opportunity. But she got over it quickly remembering that Wyatt said, 'Anna, complete your training fast. I am waiting for you.'
"Wyatt is waiting for me," Anna uttered as she stared at the big archaic seal below. Feeling that it was the obstacle between her and Wyatt, she flew at it at high speed and smashed her fist into it.
"Wyatt is waiting for me," Anna chanted every time she punched the seal. After repeating the process a few times an unknown energy began to form around Anna's fist every time she chanted Wyatt's name and punched at the seal. With her punch, the cracks on the seal spread wider and became more visible.
Sensing this unknown energy in her mystic dimension, the Field Marshal who was bidding goodbye to Wyatt paused and peeked into her mystic dimension, to check on Anna. Then seeing the traces of unknown energy on the seal where Anna punched, she watched Anna's form as she punched the seal chanting, "Wyatt is waiting for me."
