Chapter 764: Chapter 548 Vampire_1 Chapter 764: Chapter 548 Vampire_1 In the beginning, Duanmu Huai was just thinking, “Everything will be fine as long as I leave it to Lani.”
However, he soon discovered that things might… not be so simple.
Although he didn’t know what Lani was doing, Mary’s expressions were definitely abnormal.
Initially, she was pale-faced and exclaid, “So scary, truly terrifying.”
Later, she beca expressionless and repeated, “I must survive, I must survive….”
In the end, she started muttering, “It’s okay to kill right?… It’s okay to kill right?”
“…………”
Frankly, it felt incredibly unstable.
“What the hell have you been training her?”
Duanmu Huai finally couldn’t hold back and asked Lani. He didn’t want her ssing up Mary’s Golden Pupil, a skill that was hard to co by.
“Ah, nothing much.”
Lani seed very calm when faced with Duanmu Huai’s interrogations.
“I only threw her into the underground tomb.”
“Underground tomb… You’re not talking about the Hero Cetery, are you?”
“Of course, that’s the place. After all, real combat is the most important, isn’t it?”
“……”
Duanmu Huai finally understood the reason for Mary’s expressions.
“Is she all right?”
“She’s fine. Despite her appearance, she’s quite a strong girl. She’s particularly good at escaping.”
Yes, that’s true. Duanmu Huai also noticed that while Mary hadn’t developed any other skills, she had honed her escape tactics. This was beneficial, as it wasn’t as simple as running aimlessly to evade monsters in the Dark City. She needed good reflexes and the ability to quickly choose pathways. Otherwise, she might run straight into a dead-end and beco an easy target.
In that respect, Mary’s escaping skill could be considered professional-grade.
Assuming such a profession existed.
Nevertheless, he needed to ensure that Mary’s friends did not see her in her current state. It might create unnecessary trouble.
Thankfully, Masters College was on vacation, and Mary had told her friends she was leaving for an internship. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain her sudden absence.
“But all things considered, the Golden Pupil is really amazing.”
According to Lani, Mary’s Golden Pupil could easily capture the trajectory of any attack and even understand the magic’s focal point and direction during casting. She could dodge spells, even the ones that the spellcasters themselves couldn’t accurately estimate the range of. According to Mary, as long as she saw it, she could understand the direction and endpoint of the magic….
Such is the power of the Golden Pupil.
Thanks to these new discoveries, Lani beca deeply interested in Mary’s Golden Pupil. It might be a bit unfortunate for Mary, but considering the imminent danger of future battles, Duanmu Huai decided to let Lani continue the training.
It was still a better scenario than dying on the battlefield.
Afterward, Duanmu Huai watched Mary’s battle… Well, probably because she was used to running away, Mary’s combat style was mainly dodging and counter-attacking. She rarely took the initiative to attack the enemy, let alone ambush them. She would only retaliate after the enemy attacked her first.
Frankly, Duanmu Huai found this a tad passive. He preferred to take the initiative rather than wait for the enemy’s attack before retaliating. But considering Mary had evolved from solely running away to now being able to counterattack, it was a promising improvent.
Probably.
Although Lani tried her best to help, according to her, Mary’s magic power was not very high. Therefore, she only taught Mary several spells, such as “Magic Shining Sword”, “Kalya Swift Sword”, “Kalya Repaynt”, “Starlight”, and “Calm.” Lani assured him that with these spells, Mary could hold her own in a fight.
Well, judging from her training, that seed to be the case.
As for stronger magic… Well, Mary couldn’t cast those because her magic power limit was lacking. That’s what Lani said.
“Next, she just needs to participate in a few live battles, and she should be all set.”
“Eh? The combat training she has been doing doesn’t count?”
Hearing Lani’s words, Mary’s face went pale.
“That was only training. Real combat… is far off. Anyway, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
For Lani, teaching Mary these spells was her way of completing her task. Indeed, if Mary was to be trained as a magician, a couple of years would be needed to see significant results. However, since Mary only wished to learn how to use magic and not delve into its intricacies, the task wasn’t that difficult. It was similar to learning how to drive a car: with enough practice, one could manage it.
Advanced skills like drift driving could be learned later–if needed, which most people probably won’t need in their lifeti.
Just when it was ti for Masters College to start, Duanmu Huai and Mary returned to their world.
