Chapter 206 (2/2)

“It’s okay,” I smiled back “Just here to stretch a little Don’t mind us”

“Hurry up!” Ellie exclaimed, already several yards ahead

“If you’ll excuse me…” I followed after my sister with Sylvie and Boo in tow

“Your sister really wants to impress you,” Sylvie said with a smile “Don’t be too hard on her”

“A, that’s no fun,” I saze to my bond “Get ready to ‘stretch’ as well I want to see what you can do before we get into an actual battle”

“Is that okay with all of these people here?” she asked “We’ll tone it down a bit If we really wanted to go all out, we’d have to find a large valley somewhere”

My bond chuckled “True Very well, I’m also curious to see hoell I’ve adjusted to this new forrounds near the pond, I launched a slab of earth atas three arrows of ed itself into the slab

Ellie turned her head back atto have to do better than that, Brother”

Sylvie and I exchanged glances

“Looks like I et the chance to be hard on her,” I chuckled

Tirounds despite the fact that all I basically did was create targets for ave ic I could create withspells into odd and sometimes intricate shapes seeathered around us to watch the show

The noble kids would ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ as I conjured birds made of ice to skirt around in the air while my sister attempted to shoot them down Some of these spells weren’t very applicable in battle, but like a pro athlete learning to juggle a ball intricately, it helped me metaphorically stretch my abilities and see what I could and couldn’t do in a set a earthen soldiers like Olfred was able to do, but after raising about three sioleaneach other’s movements Memories of oles Even Olfred, while not as precisely as the asura, was able to conjure and control an arolems, albeit not as precisely as the asura

A shame one is forbidden to help while the other is… dead Not that either would have offered to help had they been here The thought of them left a bad taste inon the past, I focused my attention on the task at hand It felt rude to train Ellie so half-heartedly when I sa concentrated she was

Let’s try kicking things up a notch

With a wave ofand shaping itself into a beastly shape The ground where its ‘legs’ touched sizzled from the heat as I willed my creation to walk toward Ellie

Boo, who had been watching besidebeast that ood, Ellie, but what happens when a spell that you can’t just shoot doith arrows comes at you?” I called out

Soasps as the instructors let out murmurs of praise

Ellie’s lips just curled up into a confident grin as she drew her bow A shi+ white due to its ele, however, a slight undulation rippled across the shaft of the mana arrow

The arrow quickly approached my ‘fire Boo’ with a shriek I had expected Ellie’s spell to sied itself into ht, dispersing the fla beast I had conjured

I blinked “That was…”

“I?”

“Not bad It was not bad,” I said, rollingto hide her s on fro her body’s defenses Though I hated to admit it, her ability to conjure a protective layer of h to rival some of the upperclassmen I had seen at Xyrus Due to her unnaturally intricate control over her mana, she was able to layer mana in specific portions of her body almost instantly and create a fairly durable panel of mana

I put the scabbard of Dawn’s Ballad that I had been using to spar with Ellie in close range back inside“Did you learn close quarters combat with your bow froround, sweating and panting “Yup… I read a couple books too that helped, although there weren’t that er or even a light sword around for close combat,” I infor out an arrow fro it, learning how to fend off a few attacks in order give yourself soht decision”

“Your compliments seem… somewhat dull,” my sister said in between breaths

“Because that wasn’t a coet ahead of yourself,” I s for only a few hours Your stamina needs improvement”

“That’s… not even fair,” Ellie huffed

“What your brother rowth,” Sylvie co ed froue “I e an arrow shot at point blank—repeatedly”

“A lance has to be able to do at least that ht?”

My sister narrowed her eyes, discontent by et there with enough training and experience,” I replied

Ellie shot a glance to Sylvie before looking back atif I can maybe… you know…”

I raised a brow “I knohat?”

“N-Nevermind,” my sisterher head “Just say it”

“Does this have anything to do hat you guys were talking about before I got in the roo out in the war!” my sister said, unable to look ,my eht it yourself, that I was a lot better,” my sister continued when I didn’t answer “I’m confident that I’ned to squads and I’ in the reserves and since I’m an archer, I’d be in the backline anyway so—”

“Ellie,” I interrupted, kneeling down so I was eye-level with my sister

With a wave of my hand, a barrier of wind surrounded the four of us I didn’t feel co to fa no, but I’m not sure if I’m allowed to make this decision for you Mom or Dad aren’t here and to be honest, we haven’t exactly been on the sauys still haven’t o train?” my sister asked, concern laced in her voice

“You knew?”

“I’ht Sorry”

I looked atout a sigh, I gave in “How about we go on a ive youI can’t speak for Mom or Dad but I won’t hold you back on it”

“Okay!” Ellie beamed “You promised”

‘That was very fair of you,’ etting back up “Anyway, since that’s out of the way Sylvie, it’s your turn”
