Otherworld Adventure 93 Master And Disciple

"It doesn't matter... in my heart you will always be my master." The headmaster said resolutely.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Anna could only sigh helplessly.

"Whatever. Anyway, I'm here to give you a little warning~" the coldness in her voice dissipated and she said playfully.

"W-what is it, master?"

"Don't go bothering my daughter and son now~"

"Ah! Of course, I won't be bothering them. The thought never crossed my mind! But... son? I thought you only had a single daughter, master?"

"Ahaha~ well he's not really my~ son. But he soon will be~ in a couple of years, maybe. For now he's just my foster son... Cecil, you should know him right?"

"Ah! Lucia's boyfriend!"

"Oh? Boyfriend?" Anna raised an eyebrow at Cecil's 't.i.tle'.

"Well, that's what everyone on campus says anyway~ those two are always stuck to each other like glue so it was obvious? Although the boy in question seems to always have his head up in the clouds and his mind focused on training. However, Lucia's feelings are painfully obvious to everyone around her though."

"Ahaha~ it's just like Cel to be like that. Those two will end up together anyway so I have no problems~ anyway. Don't go around bothering them anymore. Here's the stuff you want."

Anna placed her hand on top of the headmaster's office table and dropped a pile of doc.u.ments on top of it.

The giant mound of doc.u.ments that came out of Anna's spatial ring was enough to fill up almost half of the s.p.a.ce on the headmaster's large desk.

"It's the new materials on my research into mana. Just so you know this will be the last time I'm helping the kingdom. Tell the king to make sure he puts his attention away from my children. Or I will sell off this info to the Oceania Kingdom or even to the folks on Midgard."

"Y-yes master! Don't worry. I'll make sure I convey your orders to the king..."

"Good, I'm counting on you Elufied."

"Yes, master!"

The headmaster bowed down and hesitated a little, he raised his head and asked, "Do you want me to look after the two?"

"No need. Let the kids find their own path forward. I've already directed them on the right direction and all you people need to do is observe. I don't want you meddling in their growth!" Anna strongly objected.

Anna knew that the current direction of both Cecil and Lucia's growth was the best they could take. Along with her occasional letters of advice and guidance, Lucia's original magic development based on knowledge from Earth that she gained from Cecil, was groundbreaking. The output and power would only grow as Lucia kept on developing even stronger and higher tiered original spells.

Cecil's own body const.i.tution and elemental affinity was hard for any instructors to teach him normally. It was better for the boy to find his own path forward. He had his Mana Eyes which would help him greatly. Not to mention that his family's martial arts was also unique in itself.

If he could successfully turn it into a training manual that encompa.s.sed breathing, fighting and mana cultivation technique altogether, then he would finally be able to properly step onto the path of a mage.

As a warrior, Cecil was hands down much stronger than people from his generation. His body const.i.tution coupled with his near perfect manipulation of mana made him almost superhuman. The only flaw was that Cecil couldn't yet raise his mana stage and increase his mana quant.i.ty inside his body.

Anna didn't know the specifics, but from the letters that Cecil kept on sending back which voiced his worries and thoughts, Anna knew that she couldn't do anything more, but to give some superficial advice on how he should proceed with his training. Anymore was all up to Cecil himself to forge a path forward.

All she new was that their current path was the best for them. Their current fighting prowess alone could help them jump up levels to fight against people on mana stages far above their current stages. Anna wanted to see just where her two children could take their current power and transform that into something better... or something worse.

It was all up to those two to figure out their path forwards. It was the same with her and that's also how she taught all her previous disciples. Just look at where Elufied was now. It wasn't just him, Anna's two other disciples were in an equally important position thanks to her teachings.

Finally understanding his master's intentions, Elufied bowed.

"Yes, master!"

"I'll be going now. Don't tell my kids that I was here~" Anna waved good bye to Elufied.

By the time Elufied raised his head to bid his master farewell; Anna was no longer inside the room.

It's like she wasn't even there to begin with. The only proof that she was ever inside the office was the large mound of doc.u.ments still present on top of the headmaster's desk.

At the fighters training ground Area 3, cla.s.s S's students were currently listening to the instructor's instructions and were warming up or stretching their bodies. Others were swinging their chosen training weapons and some were even holding mock battles around the field.

A black spatial gate formed not far from the grounds. The students stopped what they were doing and eyed the gate.

Not long after, Lucia stumbled out of the gate alone. She shook her head and looked around the area. She quickly found Cecil practicing his martial arts not far from where she was. Eli, Fina, and Velicia were also not far from where Cecil was.

Ainz was currently running around the whole grounds. He was out of breath and was panting like a dog. It was his fault for asking Cecil to guide him in training his body. The first thing he told Ainz to do was run around the training grounds.

Ainz had asked how many times and Cecil's only response was to run until he collapsed. Cecil wanted to determine how high Ainz's endurance and stamina was as a mage. There were many times when Ainz wanted to stop since he already felt that he had wanted to collapse.

Cecil only laughed and kicked him and told him to keep on running. He's still conscious so it wasn't his limit yet. So now, it was already his 20 something times running around the grounds.

This caused many of his cla.s.smates to eye Ainz weirdly. Ainz ignored this since he acknowledged Cecil's strength as a fighter. The only way for him to grow stronger was to accept the guidance of an expert such as Cecil.

As for the girls, they wanted to do the same, but Cecil stopped them. It was better for Lucia to train them instead. He didn't want to take responsibility later when there were 4 corpses collapsed all around him.

It was okay for Ainz however since... Ainz was Ainz. Cecil felt no guilt at all with pushing Ainz until he collapsed onto the floor like a corpse.

Lucia walked to her friends and greeted them. They wanted to ask about what the headmaster wanted with her, but she said that she would explain later. She then turned her eyes to Cecil who was practicing.

Cecil felt Lucia stare and he spoke up without stopping his training.

"Wanna join?"

"...Kay"

Cecil stopped his training and took the starting form of his family's martial stances and waited for Lucia. After she took her place beside him, the two began moving together according to Cecil's martial arts forms. The two moved slowly at first, they moved smoothly and gracefully.

Their movements flowed and connected well together like water, they were also moving in sync and this caused many to turn an eye towards them. Even the instructor who was about to stop the cla.s.s from their activities couldn't help, but stop and observe the two's unique way of warming up.

Ainz had finished a lap and stopped to observe the two as well. He walked up to the girls who had stopped stretching and were currently turning a curious and fascinated eye towards the two foxkin.

Slowly, their movements began flowing even faster. They began putting more power into their punches, kicks, and their body movement when switching to different stances began radiating with power and vigor.

Their mana had even begun to flow involuntarily and it caused their body to be lightly wrapped around by an aura.

Lucia's was a dark red while Cecil's was a gold color. It wasn't noticeable at first, but the more they moved and exerted power in their movements, the more visible this aura became.

Cecil and Lucia were oblivious to this change since they were too focused with their movements. After a couple more sets of movements, they finally stop and the aura that was wrapping around them slowly dissipated.

"Phew, that felt better than usual! Don't ya think Cel?" Lucia said with a smile, she was lightly sweating from their short workout.

"Yeah... how odd..."

"Hey, the instructor wants us to gather. Cla.s.s is finally going to begin." Ainz called out to the two who had just finished.

"Okay... let's go, Cel?"

"Yeah, right behind ya..."

Cecil was following behind Lucia while deep in thought... he was wondering what that mind-calming, ethereal sensation he had felt just now. It was good and he could feel his body improve at a good rate and even the mana inside his body was stimulated and now the amount of mana had even increased, even if only by a little.

It was better than his previous state when his stage and mana cultivation was stagnant!

Cecil could also feel that some of the mana that wasn't in his mana point was beginning to condense into a liquid form.

'Whatever it is... I wanna experience it again!'
