'Forget about surpassing her previous self… I don't think she can even reach that power level.'
I thought whilst seeing the example of Alice's magic. Right now, at my request she perford one of her basic spells called Shadow Hands.
Even though I never used any magic or know literally anthing about it, I could tell that whatever she was doing, wasn't good.
Alice's shadow hands spell looked similar to a hand, made of dark shadow. But instead of it being dark and terrifying, it seed as if the shadow barely had any strength left as it flayed here and there whist it's color slowly turned to greyish white.
I could see she was trying really hard to manipulate the hand to move at her command but was failing miserably. Still, look at the worst side, what if she couldn't even use magic.
I just need to give her ti and soone to help her, I'm sure that she can pass this problem and beco strong.
"Enough" I say stopping her as the shadowy hand disappeared into nothing.
Alice heaved a few breathes while saying, "I- I'm sorry, my- master. Let try it one more ti."
"It's okay. You don't need to push yourself so hard, just keep practicing every day and it will be okay." I said and then rembered about the regular branch of magic, "What about normal elental magic, can you do them?"
She nodded with a beam, "Yes, I can. Do you want to see?"
"Sure"
Alice showed her palm and without even saying a incantation, a ball of fire, warm to our surroundings, materialized. This ti the fire wasn't weak nor had any problem with control and actually looked quite steady.
She had a proud smile on her face as she marveled at the fact that her normal spell skill was good. But I had another thought.
"Is your basic elental fire skill is the best or is there any other elent that you marvel at?"
"I am good with all of the elents." Alice smiled brightly, "I am great at casting all of the natural elents and can quickly learn them too."
"That's brilliant, Alice. You're like a genius then." Anna said as Alice felt more proud of that and looked at . But again… I had another thought.
"So your telling you are good, no, great at all the other elents?" She nodded, "And bad at your core special ability to use dark magics… that should have been engraved in your blood."
"… Y- Yes." She said avoiding my dark look.
I sighed… this is much worse than I thought… she isn't bad at magic but she's bad at what she should have been great with.
"Alright… about the elental spells, do you also know only the basics of them?"
"…yes"
"Anna, remind to tell Redwick when we go back to buy so magic instruction books and also to hire a good teacher."
"Yes, master." Anna said and saw get up to leave, "Where are you going, master?"
"To find a rat's location."
...
"Ring!" "Ring!"
"Welco to the my humble sho- Oh! It's you, sir." The slave keeper smiled as he saw coming in.
"As promised, the wolfn will be ready by tomorrow, do you want to see them?"
"No"
"Okay, do you want to see any other rchandise?" He said with a na smile.
"No, this is sothing else." I said and looked around to see for a mont before coming close to him, "I need your help finding soone."
"Find soone? Sorry sir, but I don't do those kinds of work. It would be better if you went to the guild for that."
"No no you misunderstand, I think you're the type of guy who can help find this one." I said shoving a bag of coins at the slave keeper who was confused.
...
Alright, now that I have the guy's location, it's only a matter of ti before I find him. Who would have thought that the guy was actually so close to ? Living right under my nose and I didn't even catch a whiff of him.
Granted, I didn't care about him at the ti and of all the people it was fucking Gekko who reminded of what needed to be done.
"The day has finally co for your demise."
'Hmm… that voice… it strangely sounds similar to a Gecko, I know.'
"What your doing is plain stupid."
'Another voice that seems familiar.'
"Then just do what I tell you to."
"And who are you to tell that?"
'Yep, that's definitely Arthur's voice. Seems like he's in so problem.'
Turning to the place where the sounds coming from, I see a group of young people surrounding the training ground. Curious, I go there and see that it was none other than Arthur, Elisabeth and Samantha… the first threeso.
Opposite to him was Honzo and Gekko… with a bandage around his head, barking off words.
"I'm a viscount and you're just a lowly baron, it is your duty to listen to !"
"I'm not a baron yet and you too are not a viscount."
"It doesn't matter if I am or am not, I will be the viscount. It's only a matter of ti."
"That's years from now. Who knows if you'll even survive the war."
"Of course, I will."
"Yeah, sure you will. You should hide away, just like your father." Arthur said as the crowd of young people laughed and Gekko scread.
"You lowly scum! It's you who should be ashad. It's you who is dallying around with a new girl every day. You use lady Elisabeth and now you even have a new bimbo with you." Gekko pointed at Samantha.
"I'll cut off your tongue right now!" Samantha insulted, pointed her sword at Gekko.
"Oh! You think I will have a sword fight with a girl and make a bad na by defeating you, that would be shaful of ."
"You! Show your skill in a real fight, you bastard!" She said ready to jump in but Arthur stopped her.
"It's not you who I want to fight, it's him," Gekko looked at Arthur, "Lady Elisabeth, I will finally show you what a real man is and you'll realize your mistake of being with soone like him."
"Gekko… How many tis do I have to tell you? I don't like you!" Elisabeth angrily said stomping her feat.
"WHY NOT! I'm better than him in every way." Gekko said and pulled out his sword, "And today I'll finally show everyone."
Oh Yeah! I forget to tell you that Gekko's supposed to be the first villain.
