Chapter 30 - Celia (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

“Good morning, junior Sonia.”

Sonia turned around and raised an eyebrow when she saw senior Celia exiting the Pavilion of Meditation.

Although she said she didn’t want to get involved with Felix, she actually had a hard time avoiding him, because he was also a student of Professor Trozan.

Only swordplay geniuses could catch the distinguished attention of the Hidden Hand Sword Sage.

After interacting with Felix for a while, Sonia naturally got to know Celia as well. In just a few interactions, Sonia knew that Celia was the same type of person as her, the kind of female hunter who would do anything to climb up the ladder.

Therefore, Celia was naturally hostile toward Sonia. After all, Felix was her prey. Sonia’s appearance now was equivalent to catching a rare animal after going to great lengths to do so, only to find a fully armed master pet trainer appear beside the trap. It would be strange if you weren’t alarmed.

Although Sonia said that she looked down on Felix, it was not impossible for her to give him a chance if he was willing to be her lackey. Therefore, she was undecided and planned to lead him on first and observe the situation.

Celia studied Sonia for a moment, then covered her nose and took half a step back. “It’s your first trip into the Illusory Realm, junior. You seem very excited.”

Are you seriously taking half a step back?

Although Sonia had not showered after her training last night, she had used a towel to wipe her body and changed her clothes. There was no way she would smell. However, she had just come out of the meditation room. She had not washed her face or put on any makeup. Compared to Celia’s fully armed “no makeup appearance”, she was naturally as scruffy as a roadside puppy.

Sonia could tell at a glance that Celia’s “no makeup” appearance would take at least an hour to put on.

“Hello, senior Celia.” Sonia nodded slightly. “Are you here at the Pavilion of Meditation to borrow the bathroom?”

Sonia was not used to being struck without retaliating. Her mockery that Celia was not here for meditating but putting on makeup was flawless. It could be considered an insult without profanity.

“Of course I’m here to meditate and enter the Illusory Realm.” Celia forced a smile and held out her hand. “This is the legacy spell spirit I found last night. What do you think, ?”

A little boy carrying a scabbard appeared in Celia’s hand. Sonia glanced at it and raised her eyebrows, recalling the information about this spell spirit.

[Scabbard]

[One-winged spell spirit]

[Limitation: Sorcerer must use swords]

[Basic Effect: When combined with other sword spell spirits, the first activation of the latter every 10 seconds will result in 150% effect.]

To swordsmanship masters, the scabbard was a very practical spell spirit. It could even extend to a swordplay branch: Assassination Swordmasters.

Through burst miracles such as “Light in Scabbard”, “Accumulation of Momentum”, and “Space-Fracturing Sword Aura”, swordmasters could release one beam of sword aura that could break through all defenses of the same level, and one beam only. Its power was unparalleled among all the sorcerers of the various schools, and anyone who was hit by it would meet certain death.

For a moment, Sonia even wanted to trade the Rapid Flow Spell Spirit with Celia.

Although the Rapid Flow Spell Spirit was more expensive than the Scabbard Spell Spirit on the trading platform, most of the time, spell spirits lacked buyers despite their value. It was very difficult to find a suitable sword spell spirit, and even if she did, she might not be able to snag it.

But when she saw Celia’s amused gaze, she understood everything—the lady was there to show off.

“Well, do you think Felix will like it?”

Sonia suddenly felt a little guilty. She must have looked as annoying as Celia when she was in the dormitory last night. She was really grateful that her dormmates did not kill her.

“I really envy your boyfriend.” Sonia forced an ugly smile. “For a swordmaster, this is a very precious spell spirit.”

“Really? Since you say so, junior, I’ll believe you.”

Celia covered her mouth and laughed, still wary.

After the swordplay competition the night before, Celia had thought that Felix would abandon her and go after Sonia, but unexpectedly, Felix did not have such thoughts. He still treated her very well and only wanted to compete with Sonia again.

Celia didn’t think Felix had intentions of two-timing. He wasn’t the type to hide his emotions. If he was interested in someone else, he’d break up with Celia directly and wouldn’t bother playing around with her at all. So Celia believed Felix really wasn’t interested in Sonia. He was just dedicated to winning.
