Chapter 142 - A Treasure, A Calamity (1/2)

The next day.

Aleen woke up early to train. He grabbed a training sword he bought before and began to train his swordsmanship on the courtyard.

Claire's body was still weak, so she was sleeping in her room. Aya, on the other hand, woke up when she felt Aleen's presence and followed him to train.

Aleen did not found it strange, after all, they were now teammates. He even taught Aya some stuff about mana, but he neither taught her his mana circulation technique nor Sharp Blade.

These two techniques were taught to him by D'vina, and although he did not know how valuable they were, he wanted to ask D'vina for permission before teaching them to Aya.

Aleen had to admit that Aya's talent for mana was better than his. Although it could not be compared with Claire's speed, Aya learned most of Aleen's teachings very quickly. She only needed to hear Aleen's explanation once, then practice it a pair of times, and afterward, she could use it.

Aleen could not help but sigh. People with talent were truly different.

While Aleen and Aya's were training, Aleen's bracelet ringed.

"Huh?" Aleen looked at his bracelet doubtfully, but his expression quickly turned to one of excitement.

Only one person called Al<en through the bracelet. His mentor, D&#39;vina.

Aleen had wanted to talk with D&#39;vina from the moment he returned to earth. He was going to ask her if she knew some solution to Claire&#39;s situation, but unfortunately, D&#39;vina had not gotten in touch with him.

Moreover, D&#39;vina forbade Aleen from contacting her from his side, so he could only wait until she called him.

Quickly, he touched his bracelet and connected the call. He took a deep breath to calm his emotions and looked at the screen projected from the bracelet.

&#34;D&#39;vina!&#34; Aleen called with a serious expression.

&#34;No bad, Aleen.&#34; Came D&#39;vina reply from the other side of the screen. &#34;I saw your last game, and I admit I&#39;m very impressed. To be honest, I was sure that you would be unable to survive.&#34;

&#34;… Thanks.&#34; Aleen scratched his head with an embarrassed expression. &#34;I also thought I was a goner on more than one occasion.&#34;

&#34;Your luck was good, and your companions were pretty useful. To be able to kill two level-three fighters and plot against another level-three monster in the same game, I&#39;m sure that not many level-two can boast of something like that.&#34; D&#39;vina was not reserved with her compliments, and her expression was filled with obvious pride.

Aleen felt a bit overwhelmed due to her drastic change in behavior.
