Time Manipulation

Perhaps because she was reminded of past regrets in the military tactics class, Flora’s mindset had actually changed even before the head-to-head training exercise began.

But what truly prompted Flora to stop running away was Ryan.

In the original plan, they would only have light contact with Olivia at this time.

In other words, in the previous match, Ryan should have normally used his wooden sword, and with his God-like swordsmanship that Olivia couldn’t feel the gap at all, defeated her, leaving her confused, and then feeling puzzled and curious…

Well, it was the set of methods Flora had used to deal with Flett before, casting a long line to catch a big fish, and continuously releasing “bait” to attract the other party.

But for some reason, Ryan suddenly changed his plan, chose to use a wooden sword, and showed a clear gap in front of Olivia, completely defeating Olivia’s worldview and confidence.

But this approach could only be done when the affection was high…

…After all, someone must actively guide Olivia out of her confusion afterward…

Flora initially wanted to avoid becoming this person, but Ryan cut off her retreat and pushed her to the front line.

Flora naturally wouldn’t blame Ryan for not following the plan.

Rather, after being forced onto the shelves, she found that she actually wanted to do it.

After all, this was beneficial to Olivia.

“W-what are you doing here?”

“Damn it, you’ve already harmed Olivia like this, are you still not planning to let her go?”

Seeing Flora follow, Olivia’s two friends immediately became hostile.

“Miss Zoan,”

The two naturally didn’t believe her and clamored to drive her away.

“Sophia, Hana…I’m fine, let me chat with Flora alone.”

However, Olivia’s loss of composure was just being dazed and somewhat like a walking corpse, and she hadn’t really lost consciousness.

She quickly stopped the two.

Unable to resist Olivia’s insistence, and Flora’s seemingly calm manner which could be easily misunderstood, the two could only take a slight step back, help Olivia to sit down under a tree, and then run to a nearby place to wait.

“I made you laugh, Flora.”

Olivia said somewhat apologetically, “But they have no malice, please forgive them.”

“Yeah, I can tell they’re both very good people.”

The two were staring intently at the situation here, but without using any eavesdropping magic.

Flora smiled and praised.

“Yes…”

Olivia also noticed this and a little bit of spirit returned to her eyes.

Soon, she showed her usual gentle expression.

“Flora, thank you for caring about me so much, I’m already fine.”

Flora was very clear that this was the effect of completely putting the swordsmanship matters behind her.

In other words, it was escapism.

If the person to face was someone else, Flora might have already considered it a success.

But recalling that the other party had loved swordsmanship since she was a child, and always took every opportunity to pester herself, pestering Flora about things related to swordsmanship…

Flora decided to throw the topic to Olivia again.

“Olivia, what do you think of Shermann’s strength just now?”

Olivia’s body shook slightly, and her eyes dimmed again.

“Very strong… To be honest, my worldview has been completely refreshed… I never thought I was so weak, and I never thought the gap between me and that realm would be so great.”

Olivia changed “Master” to another term midway.

“That’s not the case, Shermann didn’t show his true strength just now, he was just guiding you.”

Flora cleverly sprinkled salt on the wound.

Olivia was stunned.

After thinking about it carefully, she showed a somewhat desperate smile.

“Yeah, he just used a wooden sword, and he kept deliberately not attacking, and after attacking, he said so many guiding words to me… Really, how arrogant was I before…”

Honestly, Olivia had defeated so many people in the school, so it would be false to say that she didn’t have any arrogance.

At least before, under Olivia’s polite and gentle expression, Flora could clearly feel that faint confidence and composure in her own strength.

Of course, Olivia wasn’t arrogant to the point of being arrogant, she just treated the competition as coming with a learning mindset.

Her problem was that she firmly believed that her goal had been correct all along, causing her to aim too high and not be able to recognize her actual level.

In addition, she chose the path of a female knight, and openly used a set of light azure items that were incompatible with the Blue Fox family, it wasn’t difficult to imagine that outside of swordsmanship, she would encounter a lot of pressure.

She just didn’t expose all of this directly like Flora did.

Because it meant that she could prove herself, making it difficult to continue to resist the Blue Fox family and get rid of the shackles of her family…

And all of this, tracing back, was Flora’s fault.

Flora initially wanted to avoid Olivia because she thought that after that incident, Olivia must hate or even hate herself.

But now that Olivia still supports herself to this day, and has been so recklessly supportive, Flora couldn’t leave the other party alone no matter what.

“Olivia, do you want to become stronger?” Flora asked.

But Olivia very calmly shook her head.

“Flora, I won’t join your Crown Prince faction… You may find it incredible, but my goal is to join the Azure Sky Knight Order.”

“It has nothing to do with factions or knight orders, I’m just asking you, do you want to become stronger…

Do you want to reach the realm of perceiving the breath of all things?”

“So everyone has misunderstood Sherrycia, she has actually reached this level.”

Olivia showed a look of admiration, and the indifference deep in her eyes became more intense.

“No, no, I will teach you.”

“You?”

Olivia was slightly startled, but immediately realized that her reaction was a bit rude,

“Sorry, I’m not looking down on Flora, but aren’t you a magician?”

“I also have a little research on this,” Flora said modestly.

“Did His Majesty tell you to say that?”

Olivia still didn’t believe it, mainly because Flora’s delicate and easily pushed-down body looked like someone who needed protection no matter how you looked at her.

And herself…was not a traditional beautiful girl at all. In fact, her arms, thighs, and abdomen…were all muscles.

Compared with other girls, even if she wasn’t a gorilla, she wasn’t far off.

So what she could think of was to use Flora to indirectly teach herself, to make her gradually develop a good impression of the Crown Prince, pursuing a Ken doll.

“No.”

Flora held her hands in front of her chest.

Olivia was stunned.

She had seen this action before.

No, it should just be a coincidence.

Just as she thought so, the wind stopped.

The sunlight solidified. The feeling of heat disappeared. They seemed to be in another world.

Flora gently raised her hand, making a gesture like releasing a dove.

The surrounding world returned to normal again, there was sound, light, and heat again, the sun in the sky was blocked by a cloud that appeared from nowhere.

This area suddenly became cool.

Olivia was stunned and looked at the golden-haired girl in front of her in disbelief.

“Who…are you?”

Looking at the other person’s clear and beautiful azure eyes.

“Olivia, the first thing you need to do next is to enjoy your daily life.”

Flora said with a smile.
