Wyatt summoned his grimoire, placing the Royal Teleportation card in the cardholder he immediately equipped the A-rank teleportation card and activated it. Then vanishing from his spot he appeared about a meter away. Soon he tried to use the card again only to learn that he had to wait for 2 seconds before using it again.

"2 seconds cool down for a meter-long teleportation, that is 33.4 minutes cool down for a kilometer-long teleportation," Wyatt complained, as the card failed to satisfy his requirements.

"Wyatt, it is not easy to make a low-rank long-distance teleportation card," The Field Marshal responded, hearing Wyatt complain.

"Yes, thank you for the cards," Wyatt thanked the Field Marshal for her cards. Even though they were not to his taste, it was better than nothing.

"Look at it, it's morning already. Wyatt, when do you plan to get some sleep?" the Field Marshal asked as enjoyed the first daybreak.

"Too many things I need to get done, not enough time," Wyatt continued to complain letting out a helpless sigh.

In her s.p.a.ce wedge, the Field Marshal rolled her eyes listening to Wyatt complain. However, if she knew how many problems he was mult.i.tasking alone, she would feel sorry for him.

"Enough about me, I heard that you are training Anna. How are you doing that when you are looking after me?" Wyatt enquired the Field Marshal about Anna under the pretense of a doubt.

It might seem sudden to the Field Marshal, but Wyatt has been planning to enquire her about Anna since their first meeting. But he did not know how to ask her about Anna without causing any misunderstanding. In the end, his heart's foolishness trumped his mind's reasoning.

After all, it has been a while since Wyatt saw Anna. The last time he saw her was right before Colleen brought him to the Southern Capital city, the same as in Susan's case. But at least with Susan, he was able to talk to her over grimoire but he has had zero contact with Anna since then.

"What is that supposed to mean? Are you worried that I will not be able to protect you while training Anna or that I will not be able to train Anna properly while protecting you? Which is it?" The Field Marshal asked in a stern voice if Wyatt's words had offended her.

Seeing what the Field Marshal was up to, Wyatt dropped his pretense and asked, "How's Anna doing? When will her training be complete?"

"You are no fun. At the current rate, her training will take a few years. But if she buckles down then we might finish it a lot sooner. It all depends on her," The Field Marshal replied while rays of light gathered in front of Wyatt forming a window into another s.p.a.ce.

"Anna," Wyatt blurted, peeking in the s.p.a.ce window. Through the s.p.a.ce window, he saw the solitude of Anna trying to break a huge rune seal with her bare fists.

As if she heard Wyatt's calling her name, Anna paused bashing the seal with her fists, and looked around, only to find the same old desolate plane. Then shaking her head she returned to her training, believing she was having one of her hallucinations again.

"Anna, up here," Wyatt yelled deducing that she could hear him.

Hearing Wyatt's voice again, Anna wanted to ignore it as her hallucination but she could not resist the temptation and following the sound, she looked up to find a s.p.a.ce window in the sky and the other side of it was Wyatt.

"Wyatt, is that you, or is my mind playing tricks on me again?" Anna asked as she flew and headed toward the s.p.a.ce window. However, the closer she tried to get to the s.p.a.ce window the further it seemed. p.i.s.sed, she cried out, "Grandaunt, what the heck?"

"Girl, only sight and hearing, no touching," the Field Marshal's voice reverberated in the mystic dimension, explaining to Anna that she could only see and talk to Wyatt, not get close or touch him.

"What about smelling?" Anna asked not giving up on trying to get close to the s.p.a.ce window.

"...." The Field Marshal was speechless and did not bother to answer Anna. Honestly, she did plan to cut Anna off from the outside world. However, she also wanted to help nurture Wyatt's feelings for Anna keeping the bigger picture in her mind. This felt essential to her, seeing that Wyatt's relationship with his manager was not simple. So, against her better judgment, she went off the script of her training plans for Anna and let Wyatt meet Anna.

But listening to Anna make nasty demands, she shrank the s.p.a.ce widow a little to scare her straight.

"Okay, I get it. Only looking and talking," Anna yelled grudgingly.

But getting confirmation that she was looking and hearing the actual Wyatt and not some hallucination, Anna's eyes turned soft as she gazed at him with longing eyes. Then she yelled, "Wyatt, show me some skin, I miss running my hands over your well-chiseled chest and abs."

Just as Anna demanded Wyatt, she saw the s.p.a.ce window shrink again. So, she cried out in panic, "Grandaunt, what the heck?"

"Behave," This word thundered in the mystic dimension and continued to echo. The voice amplified with every echo. Anna had to cover her ears feeling her eardrums would burst if left unattended.

"Fine," Anna shouted that she would behave. Only then did the echo of the word 'Behave' die.

"Anna, complete your training fast. I am waiting for you," Wyatt decided to keep his talk with Anna short, getting a feeling that his face time with Anna was not a part of the Field Marshal's plans for her training.

"What, hey, we just met—" Anna was shocked to see that the s.p.a.ce window closed even before she got to talk to Wyatt.

"Grandaunt, open the s.p.a.ce window. Grandaunt!" Anna yelled unable to process what just happened. She continued to plead with her grandaunt, "Grandaunt, let me talk to Wyatt. I promise I will behave."

"Grandaunt, bring Wyatt back. I promise to train harder."

…

"Boy, what was that about?" The Field Marshal asked Wyatt wondering why he texted her to close the s.p.a.ce window.

"I don't want to hinder Anna's training. I miss Anna, but I also do not want to see her getting beaten to death, unable to struggle or resist. Do what you need to do. I can wait a few years for her," Wyatt understood how important it was for Anna to shape up. Especially, with the demon invasion on the brink. So, he steeled his heart, and cheering for Anna he kept his message short. Not wanting to keep her from her training.

"Why can't that girl be as sensible as you? Since you don't mind. I will use you to motivate her. Hopely, she will take her training more seriously after this," The Field Marshal has tried numerous ways to motivate Anna except using Wyatt. But now that she heard Wyatt ask her to do what she must, she understood that Wyatt was subtly hinting at her how to motivate Anna with his actions. Anna's reaction and promises to train harder were the evidence that Wyatt's proposal to use him to motivate Anna toward her training was effective.

…

"Girl, train harder if I see faster progress in your training. I will arrange the meeting with Wyatt again," the Field Marshal finally answered Anna's calls and proposed that if she took her train seriously and made progress then she did not mind letting her meet Wyatt again.

"Okay, I will train harder," Anna said resolutely. She immediately understood why her grandaunt let her meet Wyatt in the middle of her training, it was to use him to motivate her.

Anna did not hate this, however she regretted not telling Wyatt that she missed him when she had the opportunity. But she got over it quickly remembering that Wyatt said, 'Anna, complete your training fast. I am waiting for you.'

"Wyatt is waiting for me," Anna uttered as she stared at the big archaic seal below. Feeling that it was the obstacle between her and Wyatt, she flew at it at high speed and smashed her fist into it.

"Wyatt is waiting for me," Anna chanted every time she punched the seal. After repeating the process a few times an unknown energy began to form around Anna's fist every time she chanted Wyatt's name and punched at the seal. With her punch, the cracks on the seal spread wider and became more visible.

Sensing this unknown energy in her mystic dimension, the Field Marshal who was bidding goodbye to Wyatt paused and peeked into her mystic dimension, to check on Anna. Then seeing the traces of unknown energy on the seal where Anna punched, she watched Anna's form as she punched the seal chanting, "Wyatt is waiting for me."
