The First Training (3)

“Anna, go and kill that thing.” Rothgarr pointed.

“What?” Anna didn’t see anything even after looking for a long time.

Rothgarr: “Do you see that piece of dead wood?”

Anna looked hard, and finally saw that the dead wood with a height half the size of a human was a little off putting.

“The Deadwood?” she said in surprise.

Rothgarr glanced at her. “It’s a mimic of it.”

“Oh…then what does the original look like?” Anna asked curiously.

Rothgarr sneered: “Won’t you know once you kill it?”

Anna didn’t want to talk to the demon anymore. She was a little nervous to fight demonic creatures alone, but with the demon covering her from behind, she knew she would be fine.

She slowly walked towards the “dead wood”.

“It’s called the Woodland Mimic; it can mimic different looks. It is very weak and can be easily killed by a mage‘s disciple, but it carries a paralyzing toxin. When the enemy approaches, it will suddenly use its tail, which contains the poison, to inject the toxin into the enemy’s body, paralyzing the enemy for three seconds. After which it can safely kill its enemy for food.”

Leon was not far away. After the three of them stopped walking, he followed over, and when Anna walked towards the demonic creature, he explained this aloud.

Hearing Leon’s introduction, Anna’s heart was instantly calm. Now that she knew the attack method of this woodland mimetic insect, she was not afraid at all.

Anna didn’t have the need to prepare a staff yet, and of course her gold coins were not enough for her to do so. After cautiously stopping ten meters away from the woodland mimic, she spread out her right palm, and the thunder element formed in her palm, instantly transforming into lightning and, under her command, headed straight for the insect.

In a flash of purple lightning, there was a snap, the woodland mimetic insect that mimicked the appearance of dead wood didn’t even put up a fight. It exploded into a pool of juice.

Anna: “…” How disgusting!

Anna was glad for a while that she was far enough away. She then glanced at her palm again and clenched it, as if she could feel the power contained in it.

She was no longer a weakling that could only be slaughtered by others.

She was on her way to becoming strong.

“Anna, that was amazing!”

Natalie couldn’t help applauding. She had no idea how powerful demonic creatures were. Seeing that Anna ended a demonic creature in an instant, she couldn’t help but admire it very much.

“That one was very weak, you can kill it too!” Anna smiled and encouraged Natalie.

Then she noticed that the demon’s face did not look very good.

Obviously, his hostility was directed at Leon.

Anna hesitated for a while, but still smiled at Leon: “Thank you for your reminder, Mage Leon.” She paused, she had already offended the demon anyway, so she simply continued to ask, “I’m here to find some rabbit head grass. Do you know where they grow?”

Leon didn’t care about Rothgarr’s hostility, he said somewhat surprised: “Did you want to concoct ‘Burning’ and ‘Intoxication’?”

“Yes!” Anna nodded quickly.

Leon asked again: “You already know how to make the rest of the potions of the one-star mage level?”

“Yes, I’m only missing these two now.” Anna nodded.

Leon smiled slightly, with undisguised appreciation in his smile: “Your progress is enough to make any genius feel ashamed. If you can keep up with the other subjects, you may be able to directly apply for the two-star promotion test after completing the one-star promotion test.”

Anna was startled. Although she knew that the two-star promotion test was just a month after the one-star assessment, she never thought that she could be promoted to the second level in one go.

Although it was indeed easier to upgrade at a lower level than at a high level, if she was promoted to two-star mage within three months of becoming a mage’s disciple, she feared it would cause a sensation, right?

Would it even attract the attention of the five-star mage in the capital to accept her as a student? That way at least she could try to see if the demon dared to possess others under the eyes of a five-star mage.

Anna’s thoughts flashed through her mind, and she smiled happily: “Mage Leon, you flatter me, I will try it!”

Leon smiled, pointed in a certain direction and said, “There is a piece of rabbit head grass about a mile south from here, you can pick it before returning to the city.”

“Okay, thank you Mage Leon!” Anna quickly thanked him, she knew that the rabbit head grass should be handled as soon as possible after it was picked, which was within 24 hours. Otherwise it would be “deteriorated” and not easy to use. Therefore, it was more appropriate to pick the plant right before heading back to the city.

Rothgarr watched coldly as the two of them spoke as if no one else was there, and the urge to kill Leon became stronger and stronger.

Then he saw Anna walking quickly back to his side, looking up at him with a bright and beautiful smile: “Raymond, I killed a woodland mimetic in one fell swoop. I don’t get a compliment? ”

Rothgarr：“……”

Rothgarr: “…”

He then glanced at Leon with a little interest, Anna called him by his name, but addressed Leon as Mage Leon, which showed the difference between her relationship with the two of them.

She ran to talk to Leon just now, only to take advantage of Leon’s knowledge. She still had him in her heart.

“Not bad.” Rothgarr reluctantly gave a positive comment, with a cheerful smile on his face. He then walked ahead.

Anna quickly pulled Natalie to follow, then turned her head and smiled apologetically at Leon.

She didn’t know how those courageous ones who had spare tires** managed to get both sides under their beck and call. She felt that it was too difficult, and these weren’t even her spare tires.

[T/N: Spare tire refers to a third party in the relationship, like a side chick.]

Leon didn’t care about Rothgarr’s little victory either. He followed the three of them while observing their surroundings and using a detection spell from time to time.

After walking less than a hundred meters, Anna saw an insect larger than a python appear in front of her. It looked like a centipede magnified dozens of times.

Rothgarr had just suffered a loss, so this time, without waiting for Leon to speak, he said to Anna: “A giant centipede, its speed is relatively fast for you, the venom it spews can poison ten of you, and it is good at earth spells. If you can’t strike heavy damage in one blow, it can swallow you once it burrows into the ground. Its weakness is the fifth limb, if you can hit it.”

Tsk, in terms of knowledge, how could a human like Leon who has lived for less than 20 years compare to a demon who has lived for thousands of years?

Anna: “…”

Why did this explanation of the demon’s sound so unpleasant to the ears? Does he know how to speak properly!
