Witch Training Manual: My Water Magic Is Wrong

The next morning.

The morning prayers had just ended when Andy came running over to report that two children, one older and one younger, had come to see him and were waiting in the side hall. Wayne put down his holy book and followed Andy into the side hall.

Pushing open the door, Calvin and Aya stood side by side.

Upon seeing Wayne enter, Calvin immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Lord Wayne, my master... passed away before dawn today."

Wayne nodded, showing no surprise: "Did he say anything to me before he left?"

Calvin straightened up and thought about it carefully.

"Master said... he'll come back to us after he's finished dealing with things. He also said we should learn skills from the adults during this time and not embarrass him." He paused, then added, "Master also said that if things go smoothly, he'll come back to you."

Wayne's gaze fell on Aya.

The little girl stood straight, much more composed than when they first met. Her inner energy had reached a critical point, like a compressed spring ready to spring back at any moment.

Wayne looked at her and said.

"Aya, your foundation is solid enough. You can try to break through now. There's no need to continue suppressing it."

Calvin's ears turned red instantly.

He felt very ashamed at that moment.

He remained silent for two or three seconds.

"...Aya, I'm sorry."

Aya was stunned for a moment.

"I..." Kaven's voice sounded a little guilty, "I'm telling you, slowing down your advancement... isn't because your foundation isn't strong enough. I'm worried that if you advance too quickly, your master will leave..."

His voice trailed off as he spoke.

"I didn't know this would cause you trouble."

Aya wasn't angry; instead, she chuckled.

"However, as Lord Wayne said, it's necessary to practice the basics more. I'm much more stable when I swing my sword now than before."

His head drooped even lower.

Wayne glanced at him and spoke calmly.

"Apologizing is the right thing to do. Your intentions were for your master's sake, but making decisions for others without authorization is not a good habit."

Calvin hunched his shoulders.

"However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Wayne then changed the subject.

"Aya's foundation is indeed much more solid than her peers. The time she spent suppressing her strength has not been wasted. She has accumulated enough battle qi and physique. Now that she has broken through, her breakthrough will only be more stable."

Wayne looked at Aya.

"How's your swordsmanship coming along with the techniques Marco taught you?"

Aya raised her head, her eyes filled with confidence.

"I've learned everything I've seen."

These words were simple and without any unnecessary embellishment, but Calvin, standing to the side, fell silent after hearing them.

He'd known Aya for so long and knew she never boasted. When she said, "I've learned everything I've seen," she really meant she'd learned it all.

Wayne nodded.

"Very good. It seems I'll have to find you an even better teacher when the opportunity arises."

Aya's eyes lit up.

Kaven stood to the side, experiencing for the first time the distance between people. He recalled his own swordsmanship training; Marco's simple starting stance would take him three or four days to barely maintain its form. Aya, on the other hand, could replicate it perfectly after just one viewing. Sometimes, the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.

Wayne didn't linger on the topic.

"These next few days, you two will stay with me." He looked at Aya. "Find an opportunity to break through your cultivation level. Don't rush it; wait until you feel comfortable before attempting it."

Aya nodded vigorously.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the door to the side hall being pushed open with a "bang".

Emma stood in the doorway, her hair still disheveled.

When she saw Aya, her eyes lit up, and she ran over quickly, grabbing Aya's hand. "Aya! You're here! Come on, let's go have breakfast! The church kitchen made chestnut porridge today, it smells amazing!"

Aya stumbled forward as she was pulled by her: "Sister Emma, ​​I..."

"Stop 'I'm not here, let's go!"

Emma grabbed Aya and ran towards the kitchen, giving Aya no chance to refuse. Calvin watched the two of them run away, then looked at Wayne.

"My lord, then I..."

"You should go too."

"Okay!"

Just then, Andy jogged towards him.

"Sir, the room you requested is ready. The bedding has been changed, and the windows have been opened for ventilation."

Andy paused:

"And another thing... the outside is packed with people again today. Even more than yesterday. Several ladies were waiting at the door before dawn, saying they were afraid they wouldn't get a number if they came late."

Wayne nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The panel popped up at this point.

[Andy's Current Status]

[Status: Last night, in the early hours of the morning, he secretly went to the dungeon and met with Elena.]

Elena was thrilled to learn that you had returned to Odrian. Throughout her interactions with Andy, she even mistook Andy for you at one point.

[Note: Ever since you left Audrian, Elena has never found that divine feeling again. The light rain the day before you left, the dampness in the air, stayed with her for a very long time.]

[Note 2: Andy is a little jealous of you. But deep down, he admits that you do have qualities that make him respect you. After all, in terms of looks, he really can't compare to you.]

Andy was about to leave when Wayne called him back.

"Wait a moment."

Andy stopped in his tracks.

His back stiffened for a moment, then he slowly turned around with a polite smile on his face, but the fleeting tension in his eyes did not escape Wayne's notice.

"My lord, is there anything else you require?"

Wayne looked at him, his tone indifferent.

"I need to prepare for the confession ceremony for another ten minutes. Please have the people outside wait for another fifteen minutes."

Andy's shoulders relaxed almost imperceptibly, and he nodded quickly, "Yes, sir, I'll go and inform them right away."

After he finished speaking and turned to leave, he took two steps, then seemed to remember something and turned back to add, "Sir, would you like me to bring you a cup of tea?"

"Need not."

"Alright, you focus on preparing, I'll take care of the outside."

After Andy finished speaking, he walked quickly toward the church door.

Fifteen minutes later, Wayne had everything arranged.

He handed the children over to Vera.

Each person was given two Wiggins to explore Audrian.

The confession went very smoothly.

Although many people came, some of them were only there to see Wayne and say a few words; they didn't have many sins that truly needed to be repented for.

If there is any, it's nothing more than those female believers who are enthusiastic about giving thanks to the goddess every day, after all, they are truly using Wayne's hand to sincerely repent to the goddess.

For Wayne, it was his duty to soothe their restless hearts with water magic.

As mentioned earlier.

Wayne was always a grateful person; he understood the principle of repaying a small kindness tenfold. Of course, the ladies who had received divine favor understood this principle as well.
