Sorcerer’s Handbook Chapter 42

Chapter 42

"I barely have any personal ti these days," Sonya complained bitterly.

"Classes start at 8am every day - either core courses or electives. Since I transferred to the Sword Arts Departnt, I don't have to take the Water Magic classes anymore, but I do have Intro to Sword Arts and Practical Sword Arts. On top of that, Professor Trotzam checks my progress almost every day and spars with

once. I'm on my feet all day without a mont's rest."

Sonya found it strange. Professor Trotzam was no idle retired professor who had nothing better to do than fuss over students - he was the legendary Hidden Hands Saint, the most famous sorcerer at Swordflower College.

While Trotzam had taken on Sonya and Felix as research apprentices, he didn't need to check on them every day. It wasn't like Trotzam had never seen geniuses before. A Three Wings Saint like him certainly didn't have ti to waste.

Yet not only did Professor Trotzam visit them daily, he even spared ti to spar with Sonya - a privilege exclusive to her that made Felix look on enviously.

Even though Felix was the senior apprentice, Trotzam so clearly favored her that it made Sonya feel bad but secretly smug at the sa ti.

She wondered if it was the Observer's doing, but dismissed the idea - that was the Hidden Hands Saint they were talking about!

If the Observer could control her, that was probably the limit. How could he possibly manipulate soone like Trotzam?

Besides, if the Observer could control Trotzam, why make him beat her up instead of doing sothing more useful?

"I know you want

to achieve sothing in sword arts," Sonya said as politely as she could. "But the workload I have during the day is enough already. I don't need to be forced to train sword arts for another two hours at night."

"Also, those extra training sessions are rather pointless. Now that I have the Vibration Sword spirit, I should focus my training on summoning auxiliary spirits to complent it, instead of basic drills..."

Sonya felt a bit guilty saying those words.

She was right, of course. As a sorcerer, she should switch from sword drills to "spirit training
