Witch Training Manual: My Water Magic Is Wrong

Upon hearing this, Anka immediately looked up.

She was annoyed by her reckless behavior.

"My lord, please don't say that! If it weren't for my fault, you wouldn't have been in danger. Besides... besides, I was the one who barged in, it wasn't your fault. I... I was also affected by that aura, that's why... that's why..."

Annesser stood behind her sister, her face flushed red.

Her witch instincts told her that the person before her was indeed helping her, but her curse was too severe, ultimately causing it to backfire. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Thank you, sir."

Seeing the two sisters' embarrassed and ashamed expressions, Wayne didn't know what else to say.

He looked at Anise and calmly got to the point.

"The root curse within you has been mostly suppressed, but some roots remain. I cannot completely remove it all at once; it will require several treatments."

Annesser nodded: "Hmm... I understand."

Anka stood to the side, her hands clasped together, her gaze darting back and forth between Wayne and Anise. Her lips moved, but she finally couldn't help asking, "Sir... will you continue with the treatment like before?"

She asked cautiously, her ears already flushed red.

Wayne quickly waved his hand: "No need for that."

However, Anise took a half step forward, boldly meeting Wayne's gaze, her tone carrying a frankness completely different from her previous shy demeanor: "If there really is a need, it's not impossible."

Anka turned her head sharply, looking at her sister in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and confusion as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Annesser met her gaze without flinching, adding confidently, "That's true... Sir is handsome, kind, and the one who cured my curse. If that's really the only way to suppress the curse, I don't think I'm at a disadvantage."

Anka opened her mouth, looking at her sister's open and honest expression, which even seemed to hint at "I got the better deal," and for a moment she didn't know what to say. She had originally thought her sister was forced or wronged, but in the end, her sister was the first to come to terms with it.

Annesel blinked, then gently took her sister's hand, her tone becoming more serious: "Sister, I know you're worried about me. But I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm saying and doing. The gentleman is indeed helping me, I'm very sure of that."

Wayne stood up, straightened his clothes, and spoke with his usual composure and tact: "Um... let's talk about it another time. It's getting late, and I really should head back."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Anka, then politely nodded to Annesser, before turning and walking towards the door, his pace much faster than usual.

Anka quickly followed him to see him off, escorting him all the way to the entrance of the side building, her face still flushed.

After going out the door.

The panel appeared right in front of him.

Lilith's Remote Meeting

[Analysis of Anise's anomaly: Everything she just said was taught to her by Lilith. Although she was very shy, Anise still mustered up the courage to say it.]

[Note: At this moment, Lilith was very satisfied with Aniser's honest and obedient nature, and reiterated the Order's core motto—to make the world a happier place?]

[Note 2: Anise nodded seriously in her mind, silently repeating: Yes, to make the world a better place...]

After reading the panel, Wayne was both amused and exasperated.

But there's no way around it; respecting other people's beliefs is a matter of courtesy.

By the time he got home, night had fallen.

The lights under the eaves of the Marquis's mansion have already been lit.

Emma lay sprawled on the low table in the living room, a half-open book titled "Elementary Magic Circuit Principles" spread out in front of her. Her head was nodding off, and her eyelids were already drooping.

On the other side, Ella was also looking at books about potions.

When she saw Wayne return, she went to greet him.

"Master, you're back."

"Um."

Ella didn't ask any further questions, naturally taking his coat and hanging it on the hanger beside her: "How was your day?"

"good."

Wayne stretched his stiff neck. From the Sword Saint's mansion to the Black Order, and then there was the Annesser incident; he hadn't had a moment's rest all day.

Ella glanced at him, paused for a moment, and then said, "Master, the water in the bathroom has been changed. Would you like to take a bath?"

"Perfect timing, I was just thinking of taking a bath."

Emma, ​​who was lying on the table, caught the key words and suddenly raised her head, her last bit of sleepiness vanishing instantly.

"Me too! Me too! Master, I want a bath too!"

Wayne looked at Ella and asked in a casual tone.

"Do you want to come along?"

Ella stood still, her gaze lowered slightly, but without any hesitation, she quickly agreed to the request: "...Okay. I'll go get my bathrobe."

……

The steamy bathroom was filled with mist and a thin layer of heat rising from the water. Emma had already submerged herself in the pool, only her head sticking out against the side, letting out a long, comfortable sigh: "Mmm—so good—"

Ella sat next to her, gathering her wet hair to one side and applying soap to the ends.

Wayne leaned against the opposite bank of the pool, his eyes closed. The warm water reached over his shoulders, and the fatigue of the whole day slowly dissipated in the warmth.

Emma soaked in the water for a while, then couldn't help but turn her head away.

"Master, did Aya successfully become the Sword Saint's apprentice today?"

"Yes. It went very smoothly. The Sword Saint liked her very much and took her as his last disciple."

"A closed-door disciple? Wow! Does that mean Aya is going to become incredibly powerful?"

"As long as she is willing to work hard, her future is limitless."

After hearing this, Emma clenched her fist in the water, as if she was happy for Aya. Then, as if remembering something, a hint of melancholy crept into her voice: "Does that mean Aya won't be able to be with us every day anymore? She'll have to practice swordsmanship with the Sword Saint, won't she?"

"Practice your sword during the day and stay at the manor at night." Wayne opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said, "If you miss her, you can go to the Sword Saint's manor to find her anytime."

Emma's mood improved after hearing this, and she chuckled, "That's alright. But she can't forget about me when she becomes more capable."

The panel popped up at this point.

Emma's Current Status

[Status: Happy for Aya, but also a little disappointed.]

[Note: She felt she didn't seem to have any special talents; she lacked Aya's kendo talent and her sister's meticulousness and composure. However, this sense of loss would probably only last until the toast for breakfast tomorrow was served.]

Wayne looked away.

Ella was rubbing her younger sister's back. Her movements were gentle and skillful, and Emma felt very comfortable, closing her eyes.

The water rippled gently, steam rising. This moment of tranquility was a completely different world from the intrigue and power struggles he had encountered during the day.

The panel lit up again.

[Ella - Current Status]

[Status: Relaxed and content.]

[Note: Being able to bathe peacefully with her master in the Marquis's mansion was something she had been looking forward to ever since leaving Frost Town. Although her younger sister was also present, so it wasn't exactly a private moment, she cherished this time.]

[Note 2: She was thinking that it would be best if these days could last for a very, very long time.]
