NOVPUBThe instructor, perhaps deciding that this was probably a bad idea, waved his staff in one hand, and sand enveloped the water balls. The sand magic derived from the instructor’s earth attribute absorbs water, yet it was not able to erase the water balls.
The amount of water was more than the amount of sand. Seeing this result, even the instructor’s heart almost broke.
“That’s enough! You can stop now!”
“Ye, yes!”
Without any verbal instruction, Kuufa attempted to suppress the magic that she had activated.
If things had gone wrong, the water balls would have been more than enough to drown the people in the room, but fortunately, one by one, they disappeared. By the time everything had subsided, Kuufa slumped over.
If it had been a little later, the training area would have been completely submerged, not just flooded.
“…Controlling magic power is a challenge, isn’t it?”
“I am still not able to do it well…”
It was the best guidance the instructor could give. This time, Kuufa did not use the power of Aquaria. The water spirit was stretching and shrinking uselessly next to Natasha.
In other words, this was simply the result of Kuufa’s immense amount of magic power.
The contractor of a being known as a raging water god and almost limitless supply of magic power made Kuufa’s suitability for the water attribute limitless.
It could no longer be viewed in the framework of a Great Talent, but rather a walking calamity that if triggered, could transform into a great disaster.
The instructor was so thankful for the peace and tranquility he had until today, wondering why such a ridiculous child had never been found before.
Not wanting to make her think that she was being neglected, the instructor tried to speak to Kuufa. But Maamu stood in front of her.
“Oh, um!”
Seeing Maamu not move to the side, the instructor felt worried and hoped that Maamu would not end up provoking Kuufa. After all, he didn’t know Kuufa’s personality.
Besides, it was the instructor’s duty to prevent conflict between apprentices, especially talented ones.
“Oh, you know you are excellent at controlling magic power… I can’t compare at all.”
“…eh?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to suddenly barge in on you.”
“Um, I’m fine…”
There was no sign of trouble. As soon as the instructor realized that, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“I, we lost…”
In front of Litty, Leloute and Arwin fell on their backs. On the second day, in a two-on-two mock battle, Litty defeated a potential battalion commander of the Silver Fenrir Corps.
It wasn’t just talent alone that did it. They were overwhelmed by Litty’s strength and aura. Even though it was a mock battle, Litty did not even try to hide her killing intent until this moment.
That was how serious she was, but as soon as the match was over, her killing intent disappeared like it was a lie, and Litty didn’t even let out the slightest hint of it.
“Thank you!”
Perhaps out of consideration for them, losers, Litty thanked them loudly.
Leloute did not stand up, but as if to assert his effort, he still held his sword towards Litty. His posture of still trying to fight back made it obvious to anyone looking at him that he was frustrated and depressed by the outcome.
Arwin also remained seated, staring at the ground in dismay. They were born from a good family and had been blessed with a good environment since childhood, and they had always been devoted to the sword.
Both Leloute and Arwin have been masters of the sword since they were 16 years old. They were best friends and had a friendly rivalry with each other.
“Get up, both of you!”
“Captain…”
“Don’t worry about it. This is the real world.”
“But…”
“Then watch my mock battle. It’s my turn, Litty.”
It was now a mock battle with Ilysis. Litty was the only one who was excited, while the soldiers stood frozen in place.
In this unit, Ilysis rarely had mock battles with her subordinates. It was simply because there was no one who could even establish a proper match with her.
It would be pointless for her to go easy on them, and she would not do it because she thought that it would be disrespectful to her opponents.
“Watch carefully, from now on, Litty will be defeated by me.”
“Mh…!”
Even though Litty did recognize that Ilysis was better than her, she could also feel Ilysis’s will of not wanting to be defeated and showing her superiority over Litty.
From this moment on, Litty was determined to do her best to defeat her opponent and go all out. Ilysis was an opponent that required that kind of commitment.
