Chapter 37 Distraction

"You guys seriously lack something, element of surprise, more hand to hand combat, you still have a long way to go, Alix," she said as she looked around then placed her feet firmly on the snow and spun around kicking Alix into the others and all of them fell to the ground in a pile of snow.

"Damn... you guys are going to give me a hell of a time," she said as they got up.

"Tell me what's important during a huge fight," she said.

"I just noticed, I am fast but I can't seem to gather my..." Ayden said and the princess smiled.

"You can't focus your lighting Ayden, I saw, now I will tell you what to do, that much I can do, this can be done however you please, if you condense your lighting in one direction it will have a higher blast range and it will also increase your speed," she replied and he smiled as she walked up to him and lifted his right arm up.

"You can't train all of us at once, I think it will need to be done separately then we train together to improve our teamwork," Alix said.

"As much as I hate to admit it you are right," she replied as she looked at Eliza who was doing nothing but staring at Alix.

"I don't bring people who are useless with me you lewd wolf," Adora said as she grabbed the girl by her tail and pulled her.

"Ouch that hurts, you are so mean," Eliza replied.

"Help train Sarah, don't waste my time too or I will chop your tail off," she said and the girl trembled then ran over to Sarah.

"Sarah, when you are fighting you are a little too open, learn to fight with different types of blades not only the single-edged blade, they move differently giving yourself options is a good thing with that you will have a lot more avenues for attacks, your moves won't be read that easily, there are a lot who can train you but I have a good opponent for you right here, Eliza, I suggest you take charge," Adora said.

"Elijah, take Alix and Aerav, hand to hand combat, you are great at that and surprise attacks," she said.

"Got it, your highness, now bring it on boys," he said and Alix smiled as they started practicing.

"Aerav, aim at me," she said as his hands shook.

'I can't, what if I hurt you?" he asked.

"You won't hurt me, you have to believe that you will be able to take the shot, direct your fire at me, believe me, it won't hurt me," she said and he sighed then closed his eyes as a ball of fire formed in the palm of his right hand.

"Shoot," she said and he released the ball.

"Your highness," he called out as it was heading straight to her and she brought forth her right hand and placed her index along with her middle finger together, before touching her the fire split in half going around her body then disappeared.

"Woah how did you do that?" Aerav asked.

"I can control fire with these two fingers, you need to learn more," she responded as they all sat down exhausted.

"I am hungry," Alix said and she scoffed.

"You guys tired already really?" she asked.

"I am not tired I am just hungry, I tend to eat a lot these days but don't seem to be putting on weight, that's good though," Alix said with a smile and she threw him a bag.

'What's this?" he asked and opened it only to see a cheeseburger.

'Go on eat, you seem to have a lot of stamina, but lose energy that's why you are eating so much," she responded as the mage appeared before them and they all jumped.

'What are you doing here?" she asked.

'It's after lunchtime, are you going to kill them with training?" he asked.

"I can do what I want with them, they all want to get stronger, you guys want to complain?" she asked.

"No," Alix responded and the mage smiled.

"She is not going hard on you guys yet, also I got news from your master, he says sorry for being late, he will be home soon, seems like they are on another mission, given to them by your father, Nina is attending the meeting for you but your father wants to talk to you personally when you get home along with your team, soon enough he will send you guys on missions," he said.

"You seem to be misinformed, I am not going on any mission, not until after this tournament is done, tell my father that and until he decided whether I am good enough or not then he can talk to me otherwise I don't give a damn and if he asks how I came out to be this way, tell him he should know who is at fault for that too," she mumbled.

"You are good enough, you know you are," he said as she looked at her team.

"I... they have potential," she said and Alix along with the others looked at her with appreciation.

"Thye seem to have taken a liking to you, you shouldn't let it get to your head, you will have to leave them," he replied and she downed her head as Eliza and Alix were talking she wrapped her arm around his and her tail was wagging while her ears twitched.

"I must be seeing double," she said as she picked up snow and formed it into a ball then threw it to the girl which sent her tumbling.

"You okay?" Alix asked as he helped the girl up then brushed the snow off of her and she smiled.

"Thank you," she said while blushing.

"I feel like puking," Adora mumbled and the mage laughed.

"Pack it up we are going home, that's enough training for today, also I brought you here to help then train, not to be a distraction and I will break something for you, Eliza," she said and the girl smiled nervously.
