“Pfft.”
Unable to hold back her laughter, Ella let out an impolite laugh. When she realized it, she quickly put her hands in front of her mouth.
The leader Kumi immediately raised the wooden stick angrily, as if he was going to hit Ella, but was stopped by Kumi, who was called the military advisor behind him.
"Boss, how could you attack such a cute girl!"
"How cute..."
"I feel like the air smells better now. Please, please tie your pigtails! Use this. It's a high-end item I stole from the store. It's definitely better than the cheap one the boss has!"
"You're calling mine cheap? Are you questioning my belief in twintails?"
However, the Kumi who handed over the white ribbon directly ignored the words of the leader Kumi, and presented the ribbon to Ella with both hands with extreme sincerity. At the same time, the remaining Kumi took a few steps forward and desperately took out the purse on his waist.
"T-This is all my savings! Please tie it up into a long pigtail!"
"I was here first, you should listen to me!"
“You—!”
Throwing Ella aside again, the two Kumi started fighting each other.
At the same time, Ella looked at the white ribbon in her hand. Driven by curiosity, she recalled how Lotte tied her pigtails and tried to imitate her. However, because it was her first time tying her pigtails and there was no mirror nearby, the two sides of the pigtails were at different heights. In the end, she had to ask Iris for help to tie them.
After straightening her clothes, Ella reached out to touch her hair feeling a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, she called out to the Kumi who were fighting because of their different preferences.
"Um...are ordinary twintails like this okay?"
It wasn't a very loud sound, but the Kumi's suddenly stopped as if someone had flicked a switch, and all looked at Ella.
Then the Kumi opened their mouths and eyes with an incredible expression, and let out incoherent "Ahh" sounds as if something was stuck in their throats.
“Ah… God… God-sama…”
"I... I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"This must be a divine blessing. The world has changed!"
"I'm living for today!"
"The world exists for this goddess!"
They hugged each other excitedly with tears in their eyes, and then tears began to sparkle in the Kumi's eyes. Then, as if they had agreed beforehand, they all lay down at Ella's feet.
"Please, please come with us to the royal city. You are the second most holy lady in the Kingdom of Kumheim!"
"Even that stubborn Majesty would definitely create a new position for you."
"Your appearance is no longer yours alone; it is a treasure belonging to the entire world."
"Hmm."
She was just curious and wanted to try it, but it ended up like this. Ella looked at the Kumi who had buried their heads deep in the soil and scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
"I have no intention of becoming a saint. You should find someone else."
After all, it is too fantastical to establish the position of the Second Saint specifically because of appearance.
“Please be sure!”
"I refuse. If you don't leave now, I'm going to use magic."
Her words were full of threats. Ella took out the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and planned to go around it, but the Kumi people didn't care and stood in front of Ella again.
After a distressed hum, Ella fixed her sight on the Kumi and the others, then waved her hand and unleashed several stun grenades.
The yellow ball of light hit the Kumi people in the blink of an eye, but unlike what Ella expected, the Kumi people were only shaken by the impact and did not faint.
Elise sighed beside her.
"First-level magic is useless. Kumi has the magic immunity trait. White Iron Kumi is immune to first-level magic."
"Goddess, if you insist on wasting such a treasure, we will have no choice but to take you to the royal city by force. This is for the sake of the world!"
"Stop making so much noise, you idiots."
The excited Kumi rushed out and prepared to hug Ella's feet. Ella immediately took a step back, then gathered dazzling golden light on the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and swung it down fiercely.
pat, pat.
A magnificent grand slam.
The physical magic with strange power shattered the four Kumi in one blow.
Clapping her hands, Ella untied her twin ponytails and shook her blonde hair.
"I already said no, really. Just wait for the slime to repair it later. It'd be embarrassing to just give it back to you if the ribbon's already been used. These gold coins should be enough."
Although she didn't know whether the Kumi could still hear her words after they turned into pieces, Ella continued to talk to herself, placed a few gold coins on the body of the Kumi leader, then put the ribbon into the warehouse and continued to move forward along the original path.
"Ella-chan has a violent side too."
"This is the exercise of her right. After all, Iris must have been aware of Kumi's presence from the very beginning."
"I chose to watch because I saw the princess's curious expression."
"What a wicked woman indeed."
Imitating Shen Gan's tone, Ella murmured something in a low voice, but the surroundings immediately became dark.
"Ah, is it going to rain?"
Ella looked up subconsciously, but what she saw was Iris's smile that made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
Chapter 56 Training
*创世纪6187年11月2日 上午9:44分 库米海姆王国
"it's over!"
"Mmm."
With the sound of a blunt object hitting flesh, Jinghua was knocked to the ground by Angelini. However, it was said to be knocked to the ground, but in fact it was just a wooden stick hitting his shoulder. Jinghua squatted down in pain and covered his hand.
“Too hard!”
With tears in her eyes, Jinghua raised her head in protest.
"Ahahaha... Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
An Jieni helped Jinghua up from the ground and apologized embarrassedly.
Because Kamisia was worried that Jinghua would be harassed at tomorrow's meeting, she asked Jinghua to learn close combat skills with Mitis, and the location was chosen in the backyard of the house that Angelini temporarily rented.
"As expected, I'm a more suitable opponent than Angelina."
"I finally have a chance to help Kagami-chan, and Kagami-chan thinks I'm the best, right?"
Faced with An Jie Ni's anxious expression, Jing Hua turned his face away.
"...Let's let Miss Mitis come."
“Wuwu!”
"Even if Angelina keeps making that expression, I might not even have the energy to see you tomorrow."
Although Jinghua knew that An Jieni meant well, every time the wooden stick hit her body, it would cause a sharp pain. If it happened several times in a row, she really doubted whether she would be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
"Well, Angelina, let's wait for another opportunity to fight. It would be bad if she left bruises on Kagamika. Anyway, Kagamika has never experienced actual combat? Although he's very skilled at chanting spells, the slightest change in the external environment will interrupt the spells due to distraction, making it impossible for him to fight."
Whenever Angeline approaches Jinghua, Jinghua will interrupt her chanting to observe Angeline's movements. Of course, this does not mean that Jinghua should not observe, but a normal magic caster can pay attention to the overall situation while chanting.
Mitis's words made Angeline look thoughtful, and she nodded repeatedly with her index finger on her chin.
"Hmm, Ella-chan and Iris-senpai can both perform evasive maneuvers while chanting. No, Ella-chan seems to be able to chant without any maneuvering?"
"Ella and Iris are exceptions. For Kagamika right now, simply not being disturbed by the outside world is already an ideal state. Chanting while avoiding it is difficult even for a diligent person to achieve."
"This is the first time I've heard of it. I always thought normal magic casters were like Ella-chan and Elise-senpai."
Does it turn out that Iris has the same strength as Ella?
Jinghua was a little surprised. She had never seen Iris take action before, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense. If the entire team was made up of Crimson Gold-level adventurers, there would definitely be no weak talents.
After a short rest, Jinghua picked up the short staff again and took two steps back.
"One more time."
Of course, this time he was talking to Mitis. Although the training process was very hard, it was nothing compared to becoming a slave because of weakness. The reason why he needed help from others now was entirely due to his own lack of strength. Therefore, if there was an opportunity to improve his strength, there was absolutely no reason to miss it.
As for what Jinghua is practicing specifically now, according to Mitis, Jinghua is simply lacking confidence in himself. Living in an environment where people around him are stronger than himself for a long time, he easily has the idea of retreating when encountering problems. In fact, Jinghua's level 13 is already outstanding among humans. In the military organization, it is completely reasonable for him to be promoted to a knight or a squadron leader.
Therefore, if you just teach Jinghua not to be afraid, she will be able to deal with most problems.
Taking a deep breath, Jinghua focused all his attention and stared closely at Mitis, who was ten meters away and holding a wooden stick half a person's height. During a battle, one must picture the opponent's every move in his mind, which was something Mitis had repeated many times.
Jinghua's performance made Mitis nod.
"Yes, that's right, but the ultimate goal is to chant the spell while observing."
But the training time was too short, and he did not expect Jinghua to really do it. He just put pressure on Jinghua.
At Mitis's reminder, Jinghua held up the short staff in both hands and began to chant the spell, but it was too difficult for Jinghua to do two things at the same time. You could see sweat running down Jinghua's cheeks due to nervousness.
"Just like before, I'll keep my physical abilities around level ten. If Jinghua's magic can hit me, Jinghua will win. I'm going to attack!"
“Fireball!”
As soon as Mitis finished speaking, Jinghua released the fireball condensed in his hand. He did not shoot it directly at Mitis himself, but flew it to Mitis's path. With his previous combat experience, Jinghua realized that he had three chances to chant magic before Mitis approached him.
"Maybe it will work if you do it faster."
Avoiding the fireball as big as a human head, Mitis continued to chase Jinghua.
But at the same time, Jinghua also took a small step back, as if stimulated by Angelica just now, and wanted to chant the spell while moving. Mitis couldn't help but shook her head in her heart. There was no other option for this attempt except failure.
As expected, just as Mitis expected, Jinghua's magic failed due to lack of concentration.
"It's better not to push yourself."
Taking another step forward, Mitis shortened the distance between them to less than three meters. With just two more steps, the wooden stick would hit Jinghua. In that case, the training would end like before, with Jinghua having no growth.
"Well, it's not like Ira, so it's too hard to expect results in just one morning."
Magic chanting is not like melee combat, where one can immediately comprehend it as long as the instructor tells them the steps. Magic requires time to accumulate. If Jinghua is a warrior, he has the confidence to train him to a level that can barely cope with combat within a day. But for magic, he can only rely on his own wisdom to slowly try and accumulate.
However, in Jinghua's eyes, this was a completely different development.
The distance was less than three meters. Even if Jinghua chanted the spell at the fastest speed, he could only barely squeeze out the "Light Arrow" magic. If it were just now, Jinghua would probably have given up on this sparring, but this time Jinghua had a new idea.
Following Mitis's instructions, Jinghua imagined himself victorious before the battle and replayed the next actions in his mind. Although he would be defeated by Mitis no matter how he thought about it, Jinghua did not think there was no hope at all, provided that Mitis still believed that this battle would end as easily as the previous one.
Unlike before when he chanted the spell while retreating, Jinghua took a step back before starting to chant the spell. At this time, Mitis had moved to a position less than two steps away from Jinghua. Jinghua could even see the regret flashing in Mitis's eyes.
but.
“—‘Light Arrow’.”
Swinging the short staff upwards, a condensed golden arrow of light shot straight towards Mitis's shoulder. At the same time, Jinghua quickly retreated facing Mitis as if to create distance - leaving his back to the enemy was a foolish act.
Just as expected, Mitis was unable to dodge the attack of the light arrow in time because her wings were too big. She used a wooden stick to deflect the attack of the light arrow. Normally, the wooden stick should have been pierced by the light arrow, but because Mitis had attached a magic blade to it, it became extremely hard.
【What a cheating ability. 】
Cursing inwardly, Jinghua raised his short stick and made an action to hit Mitis with it, but Mitis simply raised the stick to block the short stick, and at the same time broke into Jinghua's open arms, turned slightly and elbowed Jinghua in the chest.
"it's over!"
"That's my side!"
Unexpectedly, Jinghua did not swing down the raised staff, but used his free hand to strike Mitis's abdomen from bottom to top.
but--
boom.
What made Jinghua's eyes widen was that, as if she had seen through Jinghua's actions long ago, Mitis retracted her prepared elbow strike, caught Jinghua's fist with her backhand, then took a step back and retracted the wooden stick.
Jinghua couldn't help but stand there with his mouth slightly open. There was no doubt that after that blow, he no longer had the strength to resist and was on the side of the loser. But what was surprising was that he heard Angelica's applause from the side.
It should be applause for Mitis.
While Jinghua was thinking this, he prepared to regroup and start the next round of training.
