CH 48.2

The Sharp-Tongued Teacher (2)

Rothgarr’s mood suddenly turned around, and he nodded very readily: “Okay.”

Although Anna had expected this, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when the demon really agreed, and said in return, “Thank you, Mage Raymond. By the way, I just saw you have a piece of down feather stuck behind you, do you want me to help you remove it?”

There were still down feathers on his back? Rothgarr was startled. He remembered that Anna had been walking behind him all along, and would have seen it earlier. She didn’t mention it before but spoke up just now most likely because she had been frightened by his sudden fire before.

Seeing Anna looking at him sincerely now, he suddenly wanted to laugh.

Of course Rothgarr didn’t smile. He stretched out his hand casually and touched his back, and listened to Anna’s directions: “Not here, the other side… Yes, go down a little bit, just… that… a little bit below the waist.”

With the “help” of Anna, Rothgarr “caught” the down feather. As soon as he loosened his hand, the weightless feather floated to the ground, but at this moment, a gust of wind rose, and the down feather instantly floated back up, sticking onto his chest.

Anna couldn’t help but laugh. When Rothgarr glared over, she quickly stopped her smile and said solemnly: “It turns out that Mage Raymond nailed the down feather to the tree trunk earlier with purpose, to prevent this from happening, I understand. Thank you Mage Master for your advice.”

Rothgarr felt that Anna was taunting him. Although he was a two-star mage, almost a three-star mage, now on the surface, and she was just a mage’s disciple, he had long discovered that she was bold in this regard and had no sense of inferiority.

He glanced at Anna warningly, telling her not to be too presumptuous, and with a move of his finger, the down feather followed in the footsteps of its predecessors and was also firmly nailed to the tree.

Rothgarr looked for an open space and walked over. Seeing Anna still standing there, he couldn’t help but frown and say, “Don’t you want me to guide you? Show me your skills.”

“Yes, Mage Raymond!” Anna quickly pulled her gaze back from the down feather that was almost one with the trunk, and beckoned Natalie to come over.

This place was clear and not far away. Natalie heard the conversation between Anna and Rothgarr clearly. She was dumbfounded almost the entire time. Seeing Anna beckoning to herself, she snapped out of it and hurried over, not daring to say anything, afraid of being heard by Mage Raymond. She only could give Anna a hidden thumbs up.

How amazing; she found them such a powerful practical instructor in a few words, thank the goddess for letting her meet Anna!

During this period of time, Anna and Natalie were practicing their own spells. Every day they practiced until they were exhausted, and then rested. They continued to practice after a recovery meditation. They tried to practice spell circuits so that they could be used without thinking too much, but they had no experience in actual combat.

On the flat ground, the two stood about ten feet apart, looking at each other, not doing anything.

Rothgarr’s patience had been used up in getting Anna to agree to his marriage proposal. Now that he wasn’t seeing the two of them move after waiting for a while, he asked impatiently, “What are you waiting for?”

Anna looked at Rothgarr, and said with some embarrassment: “What if we get hurt? I haven’t learned Holy Healing yet.”

She hadn’t actually fought before, and she froze face to face with Natalie.

Rothgarr thought to himself, she was very timid in this respect, afraid of pain and death. Why didn’t she think that she might die if she offended a nobleman like him?

He mocked Anna in his heart, but what he actually said seemed very calm: “I know how to heal.”

In reality, Raymond did not have light element affinity; he lied to Anna.

“That’s great, if we get hurt in a while, it’s all on you!” Anna didn’t suspect that the demon would lie about this trivial matter. She looked at Natalie, who was also nervous, and encouraged, “Bring it on, Natalie!”

Natalie replied with a shaking voice: “Okay!”

Skilled use of spell circuits to cast spells and in actual combat were two different things. Anna was well aware of the importance of body movement and spell coordination, but she was a master in theory and came up short in actual combat. At the moment of the fight, her legs were still firmly planted on the ground. Moreover, she was afraid of injuring Natalie. Before she casted her spell, she reminded her: “Natalie, be careful, I’m gonna hit you with a ‘Heaven’s Punishment’!”

Natalie: “Huh?” Wait wait wait wait, what spell is ‘Heaven’s punishment’?

Anna spread out her right hand, and purple light condensed in her palm. Suddenly, a flash of thunder seemed to fall from the sky to her palm, entangled with lavender electric light, and under Anna’s control, she attacked Natalie.

It turned out that her so-called “Heaven’s Punishment” was the “Thunder Falling Technique”!

After Natalie understood, she saw the thunder and lightning rushing towards her and panicked. She subconsciously hugged her head and squatted down.

This really scared Anna. Fortunately, she had been using mental power to control the thunder and lightning she released. Seeing this, she hurriedly “flicked” her mental power, and the lightning pierced the ground. The thunder bolt quickly buried itself into the ground through the earth, a good conductor of electricity.

Natalie raised her head cautiously, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no electricity in front of her.

Then she hurriedly stood up and apologized again and again: “I’m sorry, Anna! As soon as I saw the lightning coming, I was so panicked that I didn’t know what to do, I’m sorry!”

Anna herself was panicked in the face of actual combat, so she didn’t have the right to blame Natalie, but comforted: “It’s okay, once we practice more and get used to it, it’ll be alright.”

“It’s okay? Just you two’s courage, forget about demonic creatures, newborn demonic creatures who can’t even walk straight could easily kill you.” Rothgarr had been watching the two “play house” with cold eyes, and he could not help but say this sarcastically.

Anna: “…”

In the case of spells, they were still just babies, did he have to put it so negatively? Did he forget that he was trying to trick her into agreeing to his marriage proposal in order to harvest her soul!

What woman would agree to marry someone who was so irritable! A masochist?!

After all, this poisoned-tongue teacher was invited by herself, so Anna had no choice but to speak softly: “I’m sorry, Mage Raymond, we’ll get more courageous as soon as possible.”

As soon as Anna finished speaking, she saw the demon stride over. He stood in front of her, and said coldly: “Do your best to hit me.”

Anna was taken aback. She looked at the demon who was only a meter away, and asked hesitantly: “You want me to use spells to hit you?”

Rothgarr sneered coldly: “If you can touch me.”

There was a burst of ecstasy in Anna’s heart.

She wanted to fight this demon a long time ago, but she didn’t expect such a good thing to happen now! Not being able to hit him was not a problem at all. If she did manage to hurt him, it’d be icing on the cake!
