TBATE Back to save you

Chapter 31

Among them, I felt two familiar ones, Lilia and Eleanor. Opening my eyes I saw them standing there, surrounded by the group of instructors that were telling them what to do and fixing mistakes they made during the exercises

I also took note that even though Lilia had more instructors than Ellie did, Ellie was still by far more talented than her a couple of years older friend

Numerous earth targets erupted from the ground and started floating in the air, signaling that the training had begun

" Oh, ruler of the water, the one who governs all the seas of the world, give me your power and blessing, and let this humble one fight the vile. Water needle! " Lilia chanted the spell and four highly compressed water missiles came to life and launched at the targets that flew around with no set direction

At the same time, Eleanor fired an arrow made out of pure mana at the targets. As the arrow flew, it split into five more, and every single one of them approached the goal with deadly accuracy

Three out of four needles hit the target, destroying it into pieces with some effort and later getting undone by impact, while four out of five arrows that made it to their targets destroyed them effortlessly and just kept flying as if they didn't just clash with very hard stone tablets

Still, only seven out of twenty targets were destroyed, so I decided to help the girls out a bit by creating thirteen vines that penetrated the remaining thirteen targets in an instant

Confused instructors looked back at me, only for their faces to pale in shock when they realized who I am. Without any hesitation and with a speed so great that even some of the Sapins' royal knights would be put to shame they went down on their knees

" I-its nice to meet you, Lance Alea" they said in unison with respect and fear in their voices

With a nod of my head, I acknowledged the instructors and then told them to rise

"Miss Alea, good morning! " Lilia said with admiration, her eyes gleaming with excitement

" Alea! " Ellie shouted as she ran to me and gave me a big hug

" Good morning Lilia, Ellie" I said with a smile as I hugged my future sister-in-law

After separating from Ellie, I agreed to help the two with their training

Creating some distance between us, I looked at Ellie and Lilia who faced me. Even with all the excitement, I could still see traces of fear in their stances, with Lilia in particular shaking

" You don't have to be so tense" I said to two girls " This is just training so you two can improve. You should stay calm because I promise I won't hurt you"

Sensing sincerity in my voice, Lilia and Ellie relaxed, letting out a breath of relief. Seeing this, I smiled and conjured a sword of wines

" Then, let's begin" I said and sent a gust of wind at two girls

The wind was nothing to write a story about, but it still made them cover their eyes

Realizing that the battle had begun, Eleanor was the first one to make a move. Pulling the string on her bow, she conjured five arrows made out of pure mana and fired them at me

Even though for all the kids around her and Arthur's age it would be impossible to avoid, to me it was as easy as if it was thrown by a baby. By stepping aside slightly and using minimal movements, I was able to avoid the barrage of Eleanors attacks, which was when Lilia stopped chanting, firing her water ball spell at me

Seeing it approach me, I made a highly condescend water ball myself and fired it at hers, destroying it before it also clashed with Eleanor's other arrow that was right behind it, two spells destroying each other
