The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 202-203: Teacher - Interlude (1-2)

"What a disappointment."

In front of the Hegel Tower.

As Luce and I were about to climb onto Professor Fernando's carriage, Aria Lilias pouted her lips, visibly upset.

Professor Fernando was taken aback as he tried to greet his mentor.

"Master, what do you mean...?"

"I had hoped those two would have made history last night. Such boring kids... Fernando, even your students are like you, they're no fun."

"...?"

Professor Fernando had no idea what Aria was grumbling about. I felt the same. I couldn't understand what she was thinking, even after using [Psychological Insight].

Luce's ears turned incredibly red. As soon as she sat down in the carriage, she immediately turned her head to the other side, hiding her face. She looked extremely embarrassed.

Aria exchanged glances with me through the open door of the carriage.

"Anyway, Isaac, Luce... take care of yourselves."

"You too, Teacher!"

Aria waved her hand. Her youthful appearance made it look like a child waving goodbye, which made me smile. I waved back to her.

Professor Fernando also bowed before climbing onto the carriage and sitting across from me.

The coachman started to drive away, and Aria watched us for a moment before returning to Hegel Tower.

"Did something happen yesterday?"

Professor Fernando asked, crossing his arms and legs, looking at Luce and me.

Beside me, Luce flinched and kept her mouth shut. It seemed it was better for me to answer on our behalf.

"I guess it's because we fell asleep without saying goodbye, even though it's our last day. Sorry, we were just too tired."

I answered with a gentle smile typical of Isaac.

Such a thing wouldn't upset Aria. Professor Fernando looked at Luce and me alternately with a suspicious gaze but soon closed his eyes and gave up. He decided it wasn't important enough to dig deeper.

"Well, that's fine then. How was the ten days of training?"

Professor Fernando opened his eyes again and asked.

Until yesterday, we had spent a total of ten days at Hegel Tower.

I trained diligently to learn [Icebolt], but thanks to the time I spent at the tower, I was able to tie up loose ends much earlier. Aria helped me a lot.

From a commoner's perspective, it was an incredible achievement.

For most elite wizards, it usually took an average of 30 years to learn basic 7-star magic.

Even the genius Tower Master of Hegel, Aria Lilias, took years to learn it.

And yet, despite still being an academy student, I have successfully learned it.

How should I express what I was feeling? I don't really know how to explain it...

"It was fun."

To put it simply, I felt a sense of accomplishment, like I had just solved an exceedingly difficult problem.

Throughout the 10 days, I felt chills running up and down my spine. I couldn't sleep because I was so excited.

And the thrill of finally finding the solution to the problem was indescribable.

Moreover, Luce was with me. The word "fun" seemed quite fitting.
