Chapter 79
How can they be so completely lacking in human consideration!
Sherisa knew that her mother valued Henry quite highly.
The fact that Henry had no magical power yet could control sword blades had caught her mother’s attention.
But more importantly, her mother also seed to have high hopes for Henry’s future.
That was why her mother had personally sent soone to invite Henry as a guest.
However, Sherisa hadn’t considered that a large part of the reason Reina was being so nice to Henry was because of her.
This situation, ah, this was a classic case of mutual misunderstanding!
Though the end result wasn’t too far off the mark.
“Henry, co with to the palace later to see Joseph.”
Reina made this request, but Henry, who was still eating his steak, very properly raised his hand like a schoolchild answering a question.
“Mmph mmph mmph mmph mmph”
“Swallow your food before you speak!”
“I an, isn’t my current status that of a criminal? Openly breaking out of prison probably isn’t appropriate, right?”
“Headmaster rlin bailed you out. The original evidence wasn’t enough to convict you in the first place, let alone now that new leads have been found.”
ntioning the Headmaster, Henry imdiately thought of that white-bearded old man.
Although he usually loved giving him difficult problems to solve, whenever there was an ergency, he always seed to give him the green light.
Praise the Headmaster!
Reina looked at Henry’s smile and said calmly.
“Of course, the days in between count as you skipping class.”
“What! I was in prison, and it still counts as skipping class? I can’t accept this, I want to appeal!”
“You can appeal. Just go see the Director of Education.” Reina remained perfectly calm, while Sherisa’s hand kept trembling, as if she was holding sothing back.
Co to think of it, Henry had never actually seen the Director of Education.
Didn’t there used to be a portly middle-aged man patrolling outside the classrooms during lessons?
Why hadn’t he seen him during his classes?
It must be because he was too focused in class to notice!
“I’ll go back to the academy and find him right away! How can they be so completely lacking in human consideration?”
Before Henry could finish his sentence, his thigh was kicked.
He looked at Sherisa with a confused expression.
Henry: “Your mother is right here, are we really going to play these kinds of gas now? She’ll kill !”
Sherisa: “Mother is the Director of Education!”
Neither of them spoke, but they both understood the other’s aning.
Henry’s head turned chanically, like a puppet’s, to look at Reina.
He saw Reina elegantly holding her coffee and taking a small sip, completely unfazed by Henry’s words.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly thanking God for helping him out.
“Speaking of which, I believe you still have a practical combat class you haven’t attended, right? Co to the training ground later and give it a try.”
Sure enough, God was a lie.
Offend a woman and think you can get away with it?
Henry’s smile froze on his face. The words of refusal stuck in his throat when faced with Reina’s smile.
What good would saying them do? Could he avoid a beating?
Obviously not.
On the other side, Sherisa was already holding her stomach and laughing heartily.
Seeing Henry in such a predicant was a rare sight.
Reina had heard from Lis that Henry seed to have undergone so noticeable changes recently, which also piqued her interest.
Although she didn’t particularly like what Henry had just said, as a mature woman, she wouldn’t stoop to arguing with a little brat.
Reina looked at Henry’s apprehensive face and couldn’t help but smile.
“The exercise ends when you manage to knock down. Use any thod you prefer.”
Reina elegantly crooked her finger at Henry.
But Henry just stood there dumbly, looking like an idiot.
Reina even started to feel like she was bullying a simpleton.
“Hmm? Still not going to make a move?”
“Uh, no, teacher. According to the rules, it seems you’ve already been defeated by .”
Henry cautiously pointed at the flying sword behind Reina.
Reina whirled around. At so point, a flying sword had positioned itself behind her, aid directly at her.
I made my move, took her out with one sword strike, what more is there to say?
Sherisa, watching from the side, stared in astonishnt at the scene before her.
She had clearly seen that flying sword float gently to a position behind her mother.
As her mother’s warm little jacket, of course she hadn’t made a sound to warn her, wanting to ensure fairness.
But Henry, standing perfectly still without moving, could still control the flying sword?
Could he do it with his mind alone?
Seeing the appearance of the flying sword, Reina was indeed sowhat surprised.
However, Reina didn’t beco flustered or angry. Instead, she said to Henry, “Stab with it.”
“This doesn’t seem right, teacher. This is just practice.”
“Stop wasting your breath. I told you to stab, so stab!”
Henry looked at Sherisa, the aning in his eyes very clear.
She told to stab! If anything happens, you can’t bla !
The flying sword shot straight towards Reina.
But the mont it was about to touch Reina’s skin, a magical barrier manifested around her, blocking the flying sword outside.
Henry was a little surprised.
He hadn’t expected her to be prepared long ago.
Reina, however, elegantly tossed her hair.
But inwardly, she wasn’t as calm as she appeared.
‘I almost got taken out instantly by this kid. What a cunning little fellow!’
Henry hadn’t really believed he could defeat Lady Reina so easily either.
“Henry, daydreaming on the battlefield isn’t a good habit.”
Before he knew it, Reina had drawn a wand and lightly tapped the air.
Dark clouds gathered above the training ground, thunder rumbled, and countless purple lightning bolts descended towards Henry like silver snakes.
“Relax a little. Stay calm and you’ll always find an opening.”
Reina’s voice sounded again.
But this ti, Henry rose on the balls of his feet and stepped forward.
His movents were ghost-like, always managing to dodge just before each lightning strike landed.
Simultaneously, Reina waved her wand again. The ground suddenly cracked open, and thick vines burst forth, covered in sharp thorns, twisting like living things towards Henry’s ankles.
Henry’s eye twitched slightly.
He hadn’t expected Reina to be able to wield two different types of magical attributes.
Generally, mastering one type of elental magic was already quite difficult.
One could only say, as expected of a high-level mage.
Henry leaped into the air. Another flying sword steadily caught him and carried him swiftly towards Reina!
At the sa ti, his pupils glead with a golden light. The golden sword shadow in his hand cut through the air, slashing directly towards Reina.
“A very good response.”
A look of appreciation flashed in Reina’s eyes.
She snapped her fingers, and a wall of ice erupted from the ground, its surface covered with intricate ice-elent runes.
Henry’s sword struck the ice wall, sending ice chips flying everywhere, but failed to shatter it.
Imdiately after, the ice wall suddenly exploded, countless ice spikes shooting towards him like arrows.
Seeing this, Henry’s pupils contracted sharply.
He took a deep breath, the spiritual energy within his body circulating wildly. The Primordial Sword Heart was pushed to its limit, and the sword erupted with a dazzling golden light.
“Break for !”
He roared, a golden sword radiance soaring into the sky like a golden waterfall, blocking all the incoming ice spikes!
Countless ice spikes turned into steam upon contact with the golden light, dissipating into the air.
At the sa ti, the long sword in Henry’s hand seed unable to withstand the force, shattering into several pieces that fell to the ground.
This sword really couldn’t hold up, could it!
Henry looked at the fireball forming before him and Reina’s smile, helplessly dropped the remaining sword hilt, and raised his hands in surrender.
“I lose.”
