Chapter 138: Mentor Isaac (3)

Mentor Isaac (3)

U-until now Ive been training the wrong way

On the way back after two hours of hellish training.

I lent White Zhonyas staff. She held it with both hands, leaning on it to steady herself as she staggered forward.

Princess, I think its better if you let me support you

No, dont Ugh. If I dont get through this on my own theres no point

Merlin offered to help her several times, but White, determined to develop self-reliance, quickly refused.

An admirable attitude.

Senior Isaac.

Yes.

Ill be in your care tomorrow as well Ugh.

Suddenly, I was reminded of the time right after my possession into this world. I received hellish personal training from the Knight Department students every single day. Back then, I had to constantly crawl to my dorm.

It seemed like I was looking at myself from that time, and a smirk appeared on my face.

Certainly, I understood their feelings. It was quite endearing.

As you repeatedly gather and release mana, the mana circuit is reconstructed into a more robust form. Gradually the flow of mana accelerates, and the mana circuit adapts, thus being able to withstand it, resulting in the gradual increase of both the quality and the quantity of mana.

I-Im aware of that, but oh

Lets do this part again No, thats not it. The magic circle should be like this. Three strokes are wrong. The stroke here should be Geummu, but what you drew is Jeya. Geummu has a more twisted form like this Draw it this way. Its better to keep the intensity of the mana release at this level. Now, follow along.

I-I feel like Im going to die, Senior IsaacThê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

The next day, at a corner of the Hydrangea Garden.

As I lifted my round glasses and explained, White made a distressed face.

One more time like this. Try to create wind one more time.

Huaaah!

Whooooosh!

Good. Now, another one.

Huah!

Good, do it again just like that.

Huek!

Thats the spirit. One more time.

Hyaah!

Despite struggling, White followed my instructions without complaint.

I also repeatedly casted rock magic, so it seemed that White didnt even feel like picking a fight with me.

For your information, my repetition of the magic wasnt just for demonstration. Even while teaching White, I didnt want to neglect my own training.

Huuh! Ah!

Blood trickled from Whites nose.

I knew this would happen. I quickly approached White, gently grabbed the back of her head, and pressed a handkerchief that I had prepared earlier to her nose.

Are you okay?

!

White shuddered and looked at me with wide eyes.

Merlin, who had been leaning against a tree, started to come over with a shocked face but stopped when White extended her arm to stop her.

Its like you were prepared for this in advance.

Because of the handkerchief pressed against her nose, Whites voice sounded nasal.

Senior Isaac, youve also been through a lot of this, havent you?

That happens when you overuse mana. Its unavoidable. But doing this improves skills quickly, got it? If you overdo it, the mana circuit can break, but I can gauge it until just before that point, so dont worry.

I know the limit quite well, having broken it a few times myself.

Senior

White gazed at me with a look of pity.

You must have struggled a lot

It was an unexpected reaction. I had expected her to be panicking and disoriented from the nosebleed, but instead, White appeared calm.

Its all part of the process.

I smirked and passed the handkerchief to White. She firmly pressed the handkerchief against her upper lip.

Lets take a little break.

Yesss!

There was no need to refuse. I too had to take what I could get.

Go ahead and ask. Ill grant what I can. What is it?

Just occasionally.

I pointed at Merlin Astrea, Whites escort knight.

Lend me this person for a while.

Merlin Astrea.

She was the daughter of the Sword Saint and a genius in weaponry. As mentioned earlier, if I were to receive swordsmanship training from her, I could freely handle the Obsidian Blades skill. Truly the best teacher.

Ah, it would be good to learn some basic scythe skills during this opportunity. I should focus on magic training, so I couldnt invest much in weaponry, but still.

Ah, Merlin? Of course What? Wait, you cant do that!!

White was horrified, and Merlin looked at me with a contemptuous expression.

Its not what youre thinking. Please dont misunderstand.

He seems to be having fun

Atop the Mrchen Academy building, a girl wearing a witchs hat perched precariously on the railing. Pressing down her hat, she grumbled while looking towards the Hydrangea Garden.

Her long, violet hair, tied only at the ends, fluttered in the spring breeze, reflecting the hues of the sunset.

It was Dorothy Heartnova.

[Why dont you just go and talk to him?]

When Ella, a white cat familiar lying beside her, asked this, Dorothy shook her head and dangled her legs.

A mentoring system? Ive heard they have something like that. I cant disturb the President. Moreover, with the mentee being a princess, how can I mess with her

[Youve become too timid. Just ask him, Mentee or me? and it would be over.]

Hey cat, if I cause trouble for the President, wouldnt that be bad?

[More importantly, since when do you care about status? Isnt your style more like a headstrong boar?]

Dorothy huffed in derision and smugly placed her hand on her chest.

How silly, where would you find a lady as demure as me? If you want a metaphor to truly encapsulate my essence, use an elegant swan, not a boar.

[How fitting. But really, you did become more cautious lately, huh?]

Ive always been like that.

[Full penalty points.]

Lets not sweat the small stuff.

[Not so easily swayed, are you? What, did you have a change of heart because you have to plan a future with Isaac and cant afford to make any more mistakes?]

Nyahaha! Well, wow, what an imagination! To amaze me like that, youre amazing, Ella!

I hit the nail on the head. The way she denied it out of embarrassment was nothing short of adorable.

Ella chuckled, and then her face became serious as she got to the main point.

[But really, whats the true reason? The reason youve been secretly watching Isaac lately.]

Dorothy turned her head again towards Isaac.

He was walking out of the Hydrangea Garden, chatting amiably with Princess Snow White and the escort knight Merlin Astrea.

I sense something strange going on around the President.

A prodigy said to have received the blessings of the Supreme Lord Manhalla. The chosen girl who made a contract with Stella, the fairy of the stars.

Dorothys mana perception was far superior to that of most geniuses.

She possessed an extraordinarily keen sense that allowed her to detect unknown dangers to a certain extent. It was similar to how she had intuitively sensed the arrival of The Floating Island last semester.

I have a feeling that something is targeting the President. If its dangerous Ill have to deal with it.

Isaac was a very special existence to Dorothy.

She even owed him her life, so she was prepared to face death for him.

If there indeed was a being intending to harm him as she sensed.

Dorothy was ready to overturn anything, whether it be the academy, authority, or the world, to prioritize protecting Isaac.

Ella sighed.

[Youre such a romanticist.]

Puhuh! S-such a funny thing to say, really!

At Ellas words, Dorothy blushed and was greatly flustered. Her serious demeanor didnt last even 30 seconds.
