CH 41

The three days of training were over, and tomorrow would finally be the last day.

I had bruises all over my body from the training.

At  times like this, I wished Farren was around.

Most wounds can be healed in an instant.

Farren’s recovery magic was amazing.

So that’s how we trained, and Monet was strong.

I thought it would be more correct to say Thor rather than Monet.

“Owen. You can’t beat Thor if you do it right. So you must endure. You just have to endure and endure and wait for your chance.”

I did as she said and put all my energy into defense.

But even so, Monet was still getting the better of me.

“Put the magic power in your eyes. Of course, with your body strengthened. You need to be able to track your opponent’s movements with your eyes first.”

The circulation of magic power in the eye area would improve your dynamic vision.

However, it was very difficult to put magic power into the eyes while using the overall body strengthening.

“Yes, yes. Good. You’re getting pretty good at keeping up with my movements.”

The day before the last day, I was able to withstand Monet’s attacks for a little while.

‘I did it.’

It was great progress, because at first, I was defeated in an instant.

It didn’t mean that I couldn’t do anything about it, though.

Besides, I was only able to defend myself, and I was never able to attack.

“Owen. You can’t win tomorrow’s match against Thor without magic. Three days of training will not be enough to beat him.”

“I know.”

“But the boy is careless. If you are lucky, you might be able to hit him once. I’m counting on it. Good luck with that.”

“Thank you very much”

I thanked her and bowed my head.

“Monet, can you worry about Owen all the time? You have a match with me tomorrow.”

The opponent for tomorrow’s fight has already been announced.

It seems that Monet and Kaisaf fight every year and tomorrow they will fight again.

And my opponent was Thor.

Rather, I had asked Chris-sensei to choose Thor as my opponent.

“Don’t worry. I’m going to beat you this year.”

“Oh, that’s scary. I’m looking forward to it.”

Kaisaf chuckled.

Then I left them and went to the trees surrounding the lawn.

“Hello, Natalie.”

“Oh, Owen, …… you noticed.”

Natalie was in the shadow of the tree.

“I just happened to see you during training. How long have you been here?”

“Just a little while. …… By the way, do you always work late at night?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s amazing.”

“What?”

“Your positive attitude. I thought you were depressed because you lost to Thor, but you’re not at all.”

“That’s not true. I was pretty disappointed. The only reason I’m training like this is because I hate losing. Tomorrow, I’m going to punch Thor in the face!”

‘Double payback!.’

“You’re going to hit Thor? You’re not going to hit him back with magic?”

“I’m just trying to get as far as I can with my enhancements.”

“You’re reckless.”

To the outsider, it would seem reckless.

I was well aware that there was a difference in ability.

“I want to be a top-notch wizard.”

There were many wizards who couldn’t use body enhancements.

Rather, there were few wizards who could use body enhancements in actual combat.

But if you wanted to be a top-notch wizard, you had to be able to use physical enhancement.

“You have to be reckless to become a top-notch wizard.”

“Really, …… Owen is an idiot.”

Natalie said with a laugh.

“But I’m rooting for you, and I’m excited to see what you can do.”

“Thank you. With Natalie’s support, I’m invincible.”

“You’re not invincible. I’m counting on you.”

“Good luck too Natalie.”

“Don’t worry. My opponent is not that strong.”

“Okay. But you can never be too careful.”

“Yes, I’ll do my best, no matter who it is.”

I thought Natalie had nothing to worry about.

I was more worried about myself.

It was a short training period, but I did my best.

‘I’ll show her how far I’ve come.’
