Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 35: First Day Training Part Three

After cleaning up a bit and having breakfast, I went back to the training field with Able. Alissa had no interest in such things so she went with Emily back to the room to laze around after she finished eating. She had said: "It is not every day that I get to take such breaks, so while I am here I will thoroughly enjoy my lazy self." 

I could see it, that when Alissa returned back home she would still be in her lazy mode and end up being yelled at by her parents. This was to be expected though since her family were merchants and always worked hard every day. I could only wish her good health and that she would not be punished too hard in my heart for when she got home. Hopefully, she would be smart and break out of her lazy streak on the last day she was here.

When we reached the training grounds a familiar old man was standing there with a bright smile on his face. Behind him was another young girl who was scowling at me. " My dear little disciple, why did you not tell Master you were going to start training today? I would have come sooner." 

This was none other than the Great Magus Felix, my master, and his disciple Angelina Borksmark. I ignored Angelina since she was giving me dirty looks anyway. I had no need to stoop to her level. It was just easier to ignore her. If she went as far as opening her mouth and saying something rude to me I would sock her one to teach her a lesson. I should have that right as the senior disciple, no? 

"Good morning, Master. I did not know I would get to train this morning until last night. This is why I did not notify Master." I said apologetically.

"Humph!" Angelina glared at me before turning her head. What I did not understand was why she was here if she did not like me. I mean if you disliked someone wouldn't you prefer to stay as far away as possible? I know I would. Why bring yourself to a place where people dislike you?

"Junior sister, if you do not wish to be here then please leave. I do not need you to affect my training with the ugly expression you have on your face." Yes, I was not going to let it slide. She kept giving me dirty looks and I was not going to put up with it. At least I was doing things in a roundabout way.

"You." Angelina was interrupted instantly by Great Magus Felix.

"Angelina, I brought you along so that you can understand how magic knights fight. If you are just going to stand here and sulk then you can leave." Great Magus Felix's brows furrowed as he yelled at Angelina.

"I..." Tears began to well up in Angelina's eyes. It was clear she felt she had been wronged. But it was her own fault. She was giving me dirty looks the entire time. Me being me I was not going to put up with it. I have always been a blunt person. So if you do wrong to me I will be sure to speak up and point it out. If you were friendly to me I would do everything in my power to help you. This was just how I am. I am one of those, take it or leave it kind of people. At least this time I was nice and gave a warning. 

I watched as Angelina lowered her head and apologized. I guess some would say I am a bitch but what was I to do? Let people bully me? I think not.

"Rei, let's go a quick round. I have been itching to spar with you ever since I saw those moves." 

I turned to see Able's excited eyes staring at me. I really did not want to fight with Able. I mean what if I hurt him? How could I hurt Able when he has done so much for me? Should I lose on purpose? No that wouldn't be right. If I did that it would make him angry. I guess I will at least try not to make him look embarrassed.

A few minutes later...

*Thump*

Is what I thought but right now I am staring up at the sky and Able is standing above me, his chest is heaving up and down and he is looking at me with an apologetic look. "Rei, I'm sorry I got so into it that I forgot to hold back!" 

It was now that I understood that experience was everything when fighting. I only did simple spars back on Earth while Able had been out on the streets gaining experience from an early age against actual criminals. I have to say Able was fast, real fast.

"Able you lost!" Cedric suddenly yelled out.

"Huh?" I slowly got up and looked at Cedric in confusion.

"Ah!?" Able face suddenly went red. "Dad, can't I at least look good in front of my fiancee!?"

I was really confused at this point. I had no idea what was going on. I looked at Cedric and asked: "Ummm... Why was it that Able lost?"

"Able used internal energy in this fight just now while you did not. In a sense, he cheated by using a power that strengthens and boosts a body's abilities." Cedric explained.

"Oh, but he did not use magic right? If internal energy is not magic then he won. We only said we can not use magic." The rules did state that we could not use magic so if internal energy was not magic then it was legal.

"That is true he did not use magic but..."Cedric seemed to understand what I meant. "No, Rei is right. I take back what I said, Able won. I will say this though. Able if you did not use internal energy you do not stand a chance against Rei. I will be teaching her how to invoke and cultivate her internal energy today."
