157 The Cyrilia Monsters
A magic that can not be cast like normal…. I never thought it was possible. But I wonder if it can not be cast by anyone without affinity for it, and Adel was the first person to have such affinity, how did she know how to cast it? How did she discover it? How do they know it is actually magic? I looked over at the girl sleeping on Sally’s chest with a glint in my eyes. I mean, I kinda want to have her help me experiment with her magic. But if I was able to figure out how the spells work and how one can cast them without affinity, that would make Adel less special, and that would not be good. I guess, sadly, I will be skipping over this special magic.
“Why do you look so dejected?” Sei asked as she looked at me with a strange look.
“It’s nothing. Let’s cheer Sophie on! Goo! Sophie! Go!” The best way to forget about things I can not do anything about is to not think about them and move on. Plus, Sophie needs someone cheering for her.
The more I watch Sophie fight, the more I realize that she will be very powerful in the future, and now she was showing everyone what she was capable of. This was good. Less people will try to start with her if they know she is strong.
Another few minutes went by when Bill called the fight. He had a big smile on his face as he looked at Sophie: “Very good! Another diamond in the ruff. I can see why you gained your recommendation. Go rest. You will be taking the second exam soon.”
Sophie climbed down the stage and ran over to me. Her smile was bright as her tail wagged back and forth with her ears twitching. And a very excited Sophie acted out of character as she excitedly said: “Faith! I think I did well! Ow! My cheeks!”
“Yes, you did. You really surprised me. To think you were getting secret training all this time!” I said with pursed lips. But still, I was happy for Sophie. It seems she had found her path.
“I wanted to surprise you,” Sophie said while rubbing her now red cheeks. I pinched them pretty good.
“It was definitely a surprise.” I said with a laugh.
“Sally Cyrilia!” Bill’s voice fell over the crowd. I have heard some murmurs here and there about the Cryilia name seemingly being a hot topic at this moment. Namely because of my show of strength, and now Sophie displayed her swordsmanship. Next, it was Sally’s turn. All three of us were carrying the Cyrilia name. I wonder if Father would be proud of me.
Seeing Sally walking up to the stage, a thought came to mind. “Sally, don’t destroy the stage or crush the Instructor! Hold back!”
“Yes, Young Miss!” Sally yelled back, causing another wave of rumors to begin spreading. I saw Bill looking at me with a smirk. I then saw him say something to Sally with a mocking smile. But that smile quickly turned to shook after he yelled begin and Sally arrived in front of him in an instant with her hammer already barreling down on him. Wait…. “Ah…. Too much!”
<strong>*Boom!* </strong> ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
I felt a sharp jolt in my arm as I stood between the Instructor and Sally. The stage itself caved in from the impact. As the dust settled, I looked at Sally, who was looking back at me with tears in her eyes. “Young Miss! Sorry! He whispered something mean about you, and I kinda just…. Are…. Are you alright!?”
“I’m fine Sally, relax.” It was true, I was perfectly fine. I only felt a sting in my arm from her attack. I turned and looked at Bill, who was looking up into the sky, whistling with his hands behind his back. “Why did you instigate her!? Are you trying to get me yelled at again!?”
“I wanted to see how strong she was! You told her to hold back! I couldn’t resist!” Bill tried to explain, causing me to snort.
“She passes, right?” I asked sternly.
“Yeah… Everyone at your side is a damn monster. I want to fight with them later on.” Bill said with a big grin. I could only let a long, drawn out sigh. He was an instructor, right!? Right!?
“Alright, then I will be going back down. Ah, right! I wouldn’t try anything with Sei. She may just kill you….” I gave a fair warning. I did not know if Sei could hold her anger back or not. The last thing I want to do is try to explain that mess. Because for some reason, I feel the Dean will hold me accountable!
“Ahahaha…. Wait…. Sei…. That Sei!? What is she doing here!? Isn’t she way too ol…. Hah! Peh! Peh! Damnit, what are you doing!? ” I quickly kicked a ball of dirt into his big mouth.
“Shutting up, idiot.” I said with a snort before pulling Sally off stage.
“Sally, don’t let others anger you like that from now on. It will be bad if you do something you shouldn’t do to the wrong person, that is only if your life is not threatened. But you can beat them up a little, just not full force.” I was not saying to hold her anger in but dumb it down enough to only beat them mildly.
“Mmm… Sorry, Young Miss.” Sally lowered her head. I turned and reached out and rubbed her head. “Thank you for getting mad for me.”
“Mmm….” Sally smiled softly and nodded her head.
Sei was up next, and it ended before it started. It seems Sei’s hearing was very good. She shot forward, and in an instant, she had already pinned Bill to the ground, asking what he was going to say earlier. It happened so fast that no one understood what had happened. But I guess this just goes to show what experience can do. I went back and forth against Bill but was unable to land any decisive attacks. But Sei, who has less power than me, was able to pin him to the ground with experience and technique. Maybe I should have her train me as well….
Sei came back and stretched her arms as she sat down next to Adel, who seemed to be still dozing in and out. It made me wonder just how bad of a morning person she was. It was now Lance’s turn to go up. He walked up on to the stage with his sword still in its sheath. His aura had completely changed once he got on stage.
