After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Even if his talent is indeed better than Brother Meifei's, even if he is indeed more qualified to be the master's successor.

But she still had no interest.

Because, compared to sitting in a shabby alley all day introducing commissions to others, it is definitely more fun to go out and adventure.

Sharon felt that Murphy had the same idea. After all, she should know him quite well.

Of course, maybe Old Jed didn't actually think so much. Maybe he really just favored boys over girls and thought that gender was more important than talent, so he was unwilling to accept her as his apprentice.

But Sharon would never think in this way.

Although Old Jed's behavior was rude and the words he said were very vulgar.

But because of the influence of Holt and his brothers, Sharon and the other children admired old Jed very much.

And everyone who worked under Old Jed agreed that he was a good man with "high moral character" and a refuge for all the poor.

Therefore, compared to Old Jed's statement that he favored boys over girls, she actually preferred to believe her own random guesses.

It was because of this that she accidentally understood Old Jed's psychology.

Rather, the person who knew Old Jed best among all the mice, besides himself, was Sharon.

However, although she did see what Old Jed was really thinking, Murphy didn't understand at all.

He stubbornly believed that the extra training rules that Old Jed assigned to them were what he intended, so every time during extra training, Murphy would go and disrupt Sharon.

At the beginning, Sharon was still thinking about whether to show mercy or not, but Murphy was extremely serious every time.

Therefore, Sharon gradually began to take it seriously.

Because if she didn't take it seriously, she suspected that one day she would be thrown to death here.

And the damn competitive spirit in her heart would not allow her to keep losing to Murphy.

Since she started to take it seriously, Murphy's training failures have increased more and more, and the frequency and duration of their extra training sessions have also increased rapidly.

However, Murphy still stubbornly insisted on his own opinion and refused to cooperate with her.

Sharon had also told him her guess about her master's true thoughts.

But it was no use, because Murphy didn't believe it at all.

But what made Sharon even angrier was that the two of them practiced without thinking, and as a result, their strength actually became much stronger.

This made it impossible for her to say yes or no.

Because to be honest, she was not willing to learn these things. Although she was indeed very talented, she was still forced by Holt to come and study.

Therefore, she always took an attitude of trying to fool around with Old Jed's teachings, treating it as completing the task assigned to her by her father.

If she didn't have such great talent, she would have been beaten by Murphy long ago.

No…it was also very possible that she had been kicked out by Old Jed a long time ago.

Looking at Murphy's innocent face, Sharon remembered the "suffering" she had suffered over the years, and she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

Therefore, she almost yelled at Murphy: "Brother Murphy is an idiot!"

After saying this, she quickly stood up and stood on the wooden stake again.

This time, she did not take the initiative to move her position, but chose to stand in a relatively safe corner.

The pendulum in this corner passes by relatively less frequently.

This way, she wouldn't have to spend too much time trying to avoid incoming obstacles.

Because of this, she could throw rocks at Murphy almost constantly, disrupting his practice.

As for the master who was watching the battle from the side?

Who cares! Maybe he'd even enjoy it!

Sharon threw the stone in her hand while thinking about the embarrassing scene of Murphy falling to the ground, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

However, until she lost all the stones in her hand, the scene she had imagined - the scene of Murphy falling - never appeared.

Because Murphy kept changing his position on the wooden stake, and then nimbly dodged the stones thrown at him by Sharon.

At the same time, he kept dodging the flying pendulums by a hair's breadth.

And after each movement, he could land steadily on the wooden stake.

In Sharon's eyes, Murphy was as agile as a cat.

No… Thinking about how he locked himself under himself before, maybe it would be more appropriate to describe him as a leopard.

At this moment, the leopard was easily doing what Sharon could not do.

Sharon stood on the wooden stake in a daze, her eyes fixed on Murphy.

Because she couldn't understand how he could become so strong in just two weeks.

Those moves he just performed, not to mention the previous Murphy, even I, who have better talents than him, can't do it.

Sharon recalled the situation when she attacked Mephiboshe just now: it was clearly her who initiated the attack, but Mephiboshe easily resolved it and even defeated her.

By that brother Mephisto who has always been weaker than him.

Sharon just kept looking at the agile figure on the wooden stake.

Gradually, a strange feeling began to arise in her heart.

...unwilling to accept.

It was obviously me who came first... No, it was obviously me who was better at the beginning...

So strong, so envious.

Sharon doesn't need to be very powerful, but looking at Murphy who is so powerful now, she does feel envious.

And in her heart, she gradually began to want to become stronger.

As a result, some complicated emotions began to spread in her heart.

That is regret for one's past self (for being lazy).

I also admire Murphy's current strength.

Sharon suddenly felt a little sad, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

Maybe she would burst into tears in the next second.

However, she did not think about it any further.

Because the corner where she was standing was only relatively safe.

"boom!"

The pendulum of the sandbag hit her in the face, and she fell for the fourth time.

At this moment, Sharon was lying on the cushion, looking at the sky.

And a glimmer of light flashed in the corner of her eyes.

The feeling of unwillingness also disappeared with the flow of light.

Instead, there is a determination to become stronger.

Chapter 24 It’s Okay, I’ll Catch Up With You

Murphy kept changing his position on the wooden stake, dodging the pendulum that kept flying towards him while looking at the direction where Sharon fell.

Should be alright, right...?

In fact, Murphy didn't care much at the beginning, because since it was just practice, there would definitely be mistakes.

Moreover, he had taken the opportunity to secretly rest for a while after falling to the ground like this before when he was physically exhausted.

But Sharon had been silent for a long time. He neither yelled at him like he had just done, nor did he get up again.

This was the first time in the two years since Murphy became Old Jed's apprentice that she had seen someone lying down so blatantly under Old Jed's nose and staying there for such a long time.

He even began to unconsciously suspect that the force of the pendulum just now was too strong, causing Sharon's mind to not be very clear, so she has not stood up yet.

Thinking of this, Murphy began to worry. Although he and Sharon had always had some conflicts, but if someone he was familiar with was suddenly turned into a fool... forget it.

He quickly finished his last set of extra exercises, then jumped off the wooden stake and ran towards Sharon.

"Oh no, I'm not really a fool, am I?"

Murphy began to think this unconsciously in her heart.

Because just now, he quickly ran to Sharon's side and found that although she was staring, her black pupils were looking at the sky in a daze.

"Sharon! Are you okay?"

Murphy hurriedly squatted down beside Sharon, stretched out her left hand to support her back, and helped her sit up.

Even through a black linen tights, Murphy seemed to still be able to feel the smooth skin on Sharon's back, but now he didn't have time to feel the beauty of the skin resting on his palm.

Because Sharon's physical condition is definitely more important now than those unimportant things.

Murphy's movements were very gentle because he was afraid that if he supported the other person too vigorously, it would make the other person's "concussion" more serious.

After Sharon was helped to sit up, she began to stare at Murphy, and the look in her eyes made his scalp tingle unconsciously.

Therefore, he shook Sharon's soft body slightly and asked softly: "Sharon? Sharon? How do you feel?"

With Murphy's gentle shaking, Sharon seemed to finally come back to her senses.

The black pupils began to light up again, but she was still staring at Murphy intently.

"...Meffy? Why are you so strong?"

"what?"

Murphy didn't understand what Sharon said.

Strong? Who is strong?

Brother Mephisto...are you referring to me?

Why am I so strong? Are you kidding me?

I'm far behind those guys.

Ever since meeting Filia, the memories that awakened in Murphy's mind completely eliminated the little pride in his heart.

That bit of pride actually came from his previous satisfaction with his current strength.

Also, Candice's praise of his strength.

That's why he's proud of his current strength, even... a little complacent.

However, just when he was feeling complacent about his false "strength".

Filia came here and came to his door.

Her arrival directly shattered Murphy's fantasy.

Indeed, he might already be one of the strongest people in the Kingdom of Leiden.

But even with this kind of self, during the training in the previous life, he was still beaten to a pulp by Filia.

Murphy is completely awake.

Indeed, his current strength is very strong, perhaps almost as strong as Filia, or even stronger than her.

But please never forget one thing, that is, Murphy's current strength is the limit of what he can achieve in his lifetime.

Thousands of sword swings in past lives;

Following the heroes in various academies, they practiced day and night;

The countless crises beyond life and death in the demon territory;

Also, Filia taught me everything she knew.

It just allows my previous life self to reach the current level.

However, even so, even if his potential has been exhausted.

What Murphy achieved was actually Filia's starting point.

How sad.

The pinnacle that I can only reach after spending my entire life is a level that those geniuses can easily reach.
