Chapter 144

All of this situation was quite complex in her opinion, but she was too cold to ask him about it directly.

'Why does he not tell me about it directly?' she thought as a flicker of confusion passed through her indifferent eyes. Her expression softened momentarily, the mask slipping just a little.

If someone listened to her right now, they would definitely feel speechless.

Girl, why would he tell you about his guarded secrets for no reason? Talk with some sense?

Of course, Nadia's mentality worked differently compared to normal people, so she was not at fault either.

"Damn, ignored again!"

Daniel said to himself as he filled up another talisman and passed it to her.

"Another word, and I will cut off your tongue," Nadia threatened in a chilling cold voice, as her hand turned straight. Her eyes were icy, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Gulp.

Daniel felt the raw killing intent and shut his mouth immediately. He did not dare to bother her and provoke her anymore after this.

He glanced around nervously, the cold sweat on his brow glistening under the light.

She might really cut off his tongue!

Although he could heal it afterward using an elixir, that would be very painful, and he was not loaded with elixirs either. He only had one elixir for emergencies.

Not to mention, he remembered how she tortured Alphonso during the duel.

'Poor guy, he still might have a fear of women.'

He glanced in his direction, and indeed his thoughts were confirmed when he saw him sitting two desks away from Amber, quietly filling up talismans.

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes towards Alphonso.

Alphonso, who was busy coordinating elements, sensed a gaze on him and looked up to see Daniel looking at him with a sympathetic gaze.

"???"

He confusedly looked at the guy, not knowing what the latter wanted from him. His brow furrowed, and he tilted his head slightly, questioning.

Upon seeing no change, he too ignored Daniel and went back to work on the talisman. He was close to finding out the principles to balance out the espera of two different elements.

It was unknown what was in his mind, after all.

'Hmm, they are not doing bad, instead, quite decent. Especially the level and progress they are making while training and coordination. Impressive. As expected from geniuses of the five major clans.'

Sigfor quietly observed everything from the sidelines; he was especially impressed by their ability to grow during training. His eyes scanned the room, taking in each student's progress with a keen interest.

It was quite clear to him that all of them were properly trying to learn and understand the concept and theory behind this rather than forcing it or not bothering with the methods.

If he had to say, it was probably one of the few things that separated a genius from a common person.

Alphonso had also made him quite satisfied with his determination when he straight up refused to learn the technique and method from Amber, who had already grasped it.

Amber's talent in tools was probably the highest among the bunch of kids in the group.

Then there was that dumb-looking brat with a foul mouth and the girl from Mystic Purge Clan; they seemed to be doing well too.

While they did not coordinate much together, they both were on a decent pace and would probably grasp the concept of balance soon.

Then there was Evelyn, the golden-haired girl with the legendary light element. She was a genius; each try she took, she would improve significantly and was very close to doing it perfectly.

He could not help but notice another anomaly in the group, which was again that white-haired kid called Oliver.

He would control his espera like an expert and easily balance out the espera too, but just in the end when it was extremely close to completion, he would decimate everything and lose balance.

Each time, his movements were graceful and precise until the very last moment.

'He is doing this purposefully…'

Sigfor was no fool. He could tell that Oliver was kidding around and had already grasped the concept well enough to balance it.

It was no coincidence either that he was doing this. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Had it happened once, he would have believed it.

Had it happened twice, he would have believed it.

Had it happened thrice, he would have still believed it.

But upon seeing the same thing happen over and over for the nth number of times by now, Sigfor was a hundred percent sure that this white-haired kid was most probably fooling around.

Fooling around either with that golden-haired girl or just passing time with no care.

Whatever it was, one thing was clear,

Oliver had also managed to grasp the true concept behind this.

"Hey, look, Oliver! I managed to complete it!"

Evelyn called out to the guy snoozing next to her.

Oliver woke up due to the sudden noise. Just now, he was quite bored, so he fell asleep after giving her a heads-up and filling multiple talismans with his water-attributed espera.

His eyes fluttered open, a slight smile playing on his lips.

As for his own training?

He already managed to find the solution to it and showed it to her.

Dropping a few hints, he went to sleep only to be woken up by her excited shout as she managed to achieve a balance too.

"Great," he clapped lightly, "You finally did it too."

"Well then, would you like to rest for some time before we decide on what to make of the combination of our elements?"

"Actually," she said as a tired look appeared in her eyes, "I think I will just rest for a while." Her shoulders sagged, and she rubbed her eyes, dark circles visible underneath.

She had evident dark circles under her eyes and her hair was not in the best state either. She looked disheveled and untidy now that she was finally done.

It was quite clear that she did not stop once and kept forcing herself to achieve the desired result.

Oliver nodded and leaned against the desk, staring at the ceiling. The cool surface of the desk pressed against his back, offering a momentary relief.

They had been at it for more than 30 hours by now without any breaks or pauses whatsoever.

Evelyn was extremely hard-working; she did not deter from doing the task until it was completed.

She was not the main protagonist for nothing. Her concentration was amazing.

He glanced around to see the others but found none.

They were probably sleeping by now in rooms arranged by the elder called Sigfor.

They would rest and come and then go back and rest.

Occasionally, Daniel or Alphonso would take him out to get some air, but he still stayed with Evelyn.

He felt a hint of pity at the thought of her working alone without anyone by her side.

The image of her solitary struggle tugged at his heartstrings.

Whether she appreciated his effort or not, it was his choice to stay by her side and give her support.

'Well then, it's about time to implement the final step,' he thought to himself as he looked at the tired girl who was now slumped onto the desk.

After an hour or two, she woke up on her own and looked around with momentary confusion before realization dawned on her mind.

She quickly remembered where she was and what they had been doing. Her eyes widened briefly before settling back into focus.

She turned around and saw Oliver also looking at her.

He smiled slightly and raised his hand holding a talisman.

"Ready now?" he asked with a hint of amusement.

"Hmm. I am. Now we need to think of a combination to impress Elder Sigfor," she nodded and said.

"But before that…" he started.

"Yes?"

"Can you give me your hand for a moment?" he said while looking at her in a serious manner.

"My hand?" She looked confused upon such an unexpected request. Her brows furrowed, her gaze questioning.

"Yes, your hand. I was thinking that since we are going to coordinate anyways, how about we do it after getting a better feel of each other's espera? Doing this would definitely benefit us in the future." He paused before adding, "How about it? I will let you inject your espera into me, and so will I too."

"Of course, if you are uncomfortable about it then you do not need to do it. It's just a suggestion on my end. But I feel it would be better if we do that."

Evelyn opened her mouth but could not say anything. This was indeed logical. She too felt if they wanted a better grasp over each other's espera and form a synergy between themselves, it was necessary.

She stretched forward her hand towards him and smiled, "Sure! Let's try it. I am also curious."
