Luce controlled her mana to make the water figure disappear after being struck by the [Wind Sword].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the third water figure was eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gasp!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the muscular figures of Bello suddenly spat out a stream of water from its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A direct water attack across the air. Startled, White reflexively deployed the four-star wind magic [Wind Wall]. A strong whirlwind swirled in front of her, sweeping the stream of water away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart nearly sank. White let out a sigh of relief that made the air tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, it fights back too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac adjusted his glasses, impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what was that…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just smashing the targets is boring. I made them shoot water irregularly to keep you on your toes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-you could have warned me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White, trembling under Luce’s “why should I?” gaze, couldn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You did well just now, White.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The surprise attack was completely unexpected. Deploying [Wind Wall] right away shows you’ve grown a lot compared to before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac smiled, recalling the time when White had dueled with the Priestess Mei. White tended to become more focused and have faster calculation speeds at crucial moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re strong in real combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Isaac…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high praise from her archwizard mentor made White feel like dancing with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe, thank you. Then, I’ll keep going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, White cast [Wind Sword] again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And four minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White lay sprawled on the ground like a drowned rat. The muscular Bello figures still flaunted their muscles, but White had reached her limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Isaac.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just a livestock that consumes food. A useless pest,” White murmured in a voice filled with self-loathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uhm, uh, cheer up… Thanks, Luce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Isaac tried to console her, sweating nervously, Luce walked away without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscular water figure of Bello gradually vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***It was a few days before the start of the new term. Most of the students had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were occasional reports of students deciding to take a leave of absence or withdraw from the academy due to the grim incidents that had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these were far and few between. It wasn’t an easy decision to leave such a prestigious academy after having worked their butt off to get accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headmistress Elena informed me that the faculty had faced a lot of complaints from parents. However, the complaints were fewer than expected. She thought it might be because people were wary of me. I paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was painted black as ink, sprinkled with starlight like salt. It was quiet and peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was training my mana mastery with a magic tool in my right hand, running swiftly around the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tuition issue was easily resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I properly paid for the second semester of my second year. I didn’t indulge in luxury and I earned a merit scholarship for excellent grades, so I had some leeway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black magic tool in my hand was so challenging to use that it made me frown. I had never encountered a magic tool that required such rigorous mana circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Choose among these. They’re all rare items that are hard to come by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This magic tool was a reward given by Gerald for defeating the demons in the Astrea Duchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among various gifts, I chose this high-grade magic tool without hesitation due to it being an item that wasn’t easily obtainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got two of them, designed to be held in both hands, but I wasn’t skilled enough to use them simultaneously yet, so I was only using one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as this magic tool didn’t break, I wouldn’t need to spend money searching for an even tougher one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While running through the Hydrangea Garden, I sensed a familiar mana. It was coming from the direction of the small lake where I usually conducted mentoring sessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing by the trees, I reached the corner of the Hydrangea Garden and saw a snow-white girl deploying a wind magic circle. It was Snow White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was panting, using the three-star wind magic [Wind Sword] towards a distant rock target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shwack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwagak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind blade missed the rock target several times. However, White kept drawing out her mana, and eventually, the [Wind Sword] hit the rock target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waah…! I-I hit it! I hit it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin, who was standing near the rock target, clapped and said, “Excellent work, Princess White.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was long past the mentoring session, but she was still training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ehehe! Now, even long distances are no problem, Merlin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done. Next, you have to hit this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He… he…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still another rock target created by Merlin. Although she focused on weapon skills as a knight, she could use basic elemental magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sense of achievement that had filled White’s face was replaced by a feeling of despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what brings you here, Sir Isaac?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Senior Isaac?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin noticed me first. White jerked her head back to look at me, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked out from behind the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you come back here…? What brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just happened to be passing by while exercising.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood next to White and examined the wind magic circle she had deployed. White stiffened as if embarrassed to show her magic circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lines are clean. It’s limited to [Wind Sword], but her mana is flowing steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Wind Sword] she had been swinging earlier was fluid, and the calculation speed was faster than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stamina and mana have noticeably increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing White drenched in sweat made me smile subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an exemplary kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I do something wrong…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White’s voice trembled, and I shook my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s clean without any excess. It’s perfect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re doing well now, White.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White stared at me blankly. It seemed that the memories of her tough training sessions flashed through her mind like a film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, tears welled up in White’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re showing real progress. You’re doing great, really.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sniff,Senior Isaaac…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? Why is she crying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing something was wrong, Merlin hurriedly ran over. But White, ignoring her, began to cry, wiping her tears with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought I’d hear such words…sniff,I always thought I was a hopeless pest… I thought that even though you said nice things, you were just being kind and actually pitied for me, even if you thought I was worthless livestock… But I wanted to get stronger, so I kept trying, and hearing such words makes me cry…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you think of me all this time? That never crossed my mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t she being too negative?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re too self-deprecating. I meant every word. Now, stop crying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sniff, waaah…! Senior Isaaaac…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried even harder…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White had recognized her own lacking skills since coming to the academy and felt a deep sense of inadequacy during her duels with Priestess Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White didn’t take pride in her status as a Princess or as the world’s most beautiful woman. The biggest reason was likely her profound realization that all people meet the same end in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, even the factors that could boost her confidence had no effect. She had developed a tendency to look down on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she had been training hard in her own way. She must have had her own struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, this isn’t good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suddenly remembered how I had cried bitterly after passing my second exam. I felt an unintentional emotional connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gosh, I’m about to cry too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess White…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin smiled warmly. Recalling the difficult path she had walked while training, Merlin was moved by White’s tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging a glance with Merlin, I looked back at White and gave a light smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop crying. Your face will get puffy for the start of the term tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry…sob.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I patted White on the shoulder, and she gradually stopped crying, sniffing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel great…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White’s eyes suddenly sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like I can do anything right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her change in demeanor was quick. Well, that was a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White extended her hand to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Isaac, let’s do that training again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was talking about the training to enhance mana mastery by mixing our mana together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had postponed this training before because White’s skills weren’t up to the minimum level required, even though we had initially agreed to do it as a way to repay a debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Are you sure you won’t regret it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I’ve grown now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then don’t complain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of this training method over a magic tool was that it could be adjusted to the partner’s level. By responding to each other’s mana circulation and mixing them, it allowed for a flexible approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The downside was that it had a lower upper limit. Once one gained some skill, training with a tough magic tool would be more effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For me, the advantage was that I could directly channel White’s mana. This would speed up the time needed to acquire a unique ability, which was my goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drrrrrr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used [Rock Generation] to create two simple stone chairs. White and I sat facing each other on the stone chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We extended our arms toward each other, placing our palms together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, we began to let our mana flow gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssssssss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My pale blue mana and White’s pale green mana seeped out like smoke, slowly mixing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was calm. However, it wasn’t long before White’s expression contorted. She clenched her eyes shut and gritted her teeth, trying to endure the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exercise was similar to a full-body workout such as planking. White must have been feeling intense discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principle was the same as a magic tool. It was the constant pain I always felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, for me, it felt like circulating mana with a low-level magic tool. It was so easy that it didn’t bother me at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can endure it now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe… Yes, I can…!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White responded confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White’s face had gradually twisted in agony and she collapsed to the ground, foaming from the mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A-are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I-it hurts… It hurts, Senior Isaac…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in White’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You said you wouldn’t complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I adjusted my glasses and a smile spread across my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, you endured well. Five minutes is an impressive achievement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up and extended my hand to White. With her moist eyes, White looked at my face and my hand alternately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the time needed to obtain the unique ability I wanted to use in the「Fairy Way」scenario was shortened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, I was genuinely pleased with White’s growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess White, your perseverance was admirable. It’s truly a remarkable achievement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merlin stood next to me and extended her hand to White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Isaac, Merlin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the mood was heartwarming, White looked like she was moved to tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, White grabbed both mine and Merlin’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, you two… Aaack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I was careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to our mana being intertwined for a while, the residual mana in our bodies clashed, causing a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should have avoided physical contact until the lingering mana completely dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh*…”*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sincerely apologized to White, who was in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1964,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.925Z",1,"novelbin.me","6720dc46ea5386811eee6d598681e0fbea05aa790c4f68d65686304962173ff6","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-271","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-269",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
