Chapter 99: Sihan (1/2)

After killing Ellen, Theo dropped to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood before he realized Ellen still managed to react to his attack and hit his chest with her elbow. If she were a fighter like him instead of a magician, he would have died too.

”Seriously… Even with all my current power, I can't beat her completely. No, I feel like Ellen is stronger than the assassin leader the Lange Family sent.” Theo narrowed her eyes and sighed. ”So, this is what it means to have enough experience and skill.”

He shook his head helplessly before finding Ellen returning to the field.

”You should recover first,” said Ellen as soon as she met Theo.

Theo nodded, closed his eyes, and returned to the real world. A few seconds later, Theo's figure reappeared as he said. ”I'm good now.”

”I have understood your level and I think you can fight a second-year equally. In fact, you would have won if you used these two skills in our match.” She smiled. ”Restriction is it…”

”Yeah.” Theo let out a long sigh, feeling disappointed in himself too.

”Have you ever thought about breaking that restriction yourself?” Ellen asked after finding Theo's restriction must come from another person. She wanted to see whether Theo would follow that person blindly or trust himself a bit more.

However, Theo's answer changed her opinion. ”Only during life and death situations.”

”I see. I worry that you trust someone else blindly to the point you would do everything that person instructs you to do.”

”Don't worry. I won't do something like that.”

”Good. Anyway, I have grasped the extent of your control in that Magic Bullet earlier. I will train you as much as possible, so you will fight both Phyrill and Sihan for experiences. Make sure you understand your role and how to cope with it. I believe the you two weeks later will be a different you.”

”Thanks.”

”Now, let's start our training.” Ellen smiled and began explaining her views about Theo's skill.

Although Ellen wasn't as good as his master in terms of teaching, her explanation wasn't that hard to understand and Theo managed to absorb all the knowledge she gave.

It was the start of his trials and errors. Ellen kept watching him while offering some suggestions when he was confused.

This never happened when he was with Alea since they both focused on hunting instead of training. Of course, Theo was grateful to Alea since he leveled up so much during that one month.

Surprisingly, Ellen didn't teach him Force Control alone. She also provided some guidance about Soft Control and magicians in general.
