In fact, barely anyone attended our class anymore, and even the professors were starting to get annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that really wasn’t my problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My servants learned quickly to stay out of the courtyard at those hours. Cracked stone, scattered weapons, and lingering magical pressure had become normal sights by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the air itself felt heavier there, saturated with magic and exhaustion, as if the estate had grown used to violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, mostly physical training, while she wanted to be a mage, I planned to turn her into a spellblade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while that sounded very rational and standard, surprisingly enough, in this city, especially in the academy, that was barely something that people specialized in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was inefficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while there were many legends in the world of people mastering those two, it took them years to reach that level, compared to just mastering one, which barely takes a year if someone is skilled enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... luckily for her, she had a teacher who was skilled in both fields all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sloppy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She unleashed a powerful blade of wind at me, but that was it, powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else was of note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slower than a bullet, easy to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sloppy!?\" She panted, already tired; we had been sparring for minutes already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours even.

It gives me a chance to actually fight someone with the same style as me, allowing me to use a bit more effort than usual compared to the tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wind Wall]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SKRITCH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blocked that...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know I was going easy on her, but that certainly was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bottomless Daggers (S)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLICK-FWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger pierced through her wall in an instant, once again its passive drain ability proving too powerful for any normal mortal magic to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was more important was how she would react to a dagger being launched directly at her at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wind Wall]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wind Wall]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wind Wall]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple defensive walls immediately erupted between her and the dagger; her casting time was impressive, improved by the countless matches we’ve undergone to improve her reaction time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what it felt like to feel proud for once...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... I wouldn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was unfamiliar, uncomfortable even. Pride had always been a luxury I couldn’t afford, one usually followed by regret, blood, and names I stopped remembering long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of my previous students died at their third job back in the day. The moment I could feel even the slightest bit of pride for my students, they’d just end up dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C-Crap!\" She closed her eyes; she wasn’t fast enough to dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger pierced through all of her walls at once without even slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was good enough for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Profaned Step]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re done for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I caught the dagger before it struck her heart. I didn’t even mean to aim for something that vulnerable; it just came to me naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even my body and instincts were starting to perceive her as an actual threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say that, but this’ll probably be your last day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What...?\" She shook her head. \"My last day?

I think you’re overestimating your own training, you know?\" She crossed her arms and tapped her feet in irritation, not knowing how much she had grown ever since we started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overestimate?
