Let’s not talk about it for now

Flora didn’t explain anything.

After saying that, she let the enlightened Olivia leave.

She didn’t really intend to expose her identity or anything.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t being obvious enough.

It’s just that ordinary people wouldn’t associate her current appearance with her original identity, which had records and witnesses of activity in the north.

Therefore, even if she showed these things, Olivia’s most likely guess would be to consider her as her sister or a relative or something.

Even if she were really pregnant… as long as she didn’t admit it, it would be fine.

She wasn’t a shapeshifter, nor did she use disguise magic… No one had ever heard of a magic potion that truly transformed someone into a girl.

Of course, in a critical moment, she could release her Patronus to prove her innocence.

She specifically used the simplest method, with the least fanfare, to demonstrate her strength, just to convince the other party.

After all… she didn’t want others to suffer bad consequences because she was hiding her strength anymore.

Having said that, she still concealed many things… Even though she had decided to do it, she still acted so nonchalantly.

Thinking back, she had always been like this.

That’s why she had implicated so many people… she was so despicable and selfish.

Thinking this, she quickly adjusted her expression, preparing to return to her usual energetic state.

As for what she had revealed, Olivia would undoubtedly keep it a secret.

And she would do all this, only seemingly for Ryan, but actually to achieve the ultimate goal of breaking off the engagement.

She was just that selfish, that insidious.

Back in the barrier surrounding the training ground, the students were already sparring with each other.

Shawn and Flayt were no exception.

To Flora’s surprise, Flayt wasn’t scared witless and unable to move.

On the contrary—

“Another round?”

Shawn calmly raised his hand.

“Yes, please attack with everything you’ve got!”

Flayt said excitedly, even somewhat fanatically, despite being covered in various colored impact marks.

“Alright.”

Shawn didn’t hesitate and unleashed several wind bullets again with a wave of his hand.

The people in the distance, pretending to be sparring but actually secretly watching, were startled.

“He can still cast spells? How much mana does he have?”

“Instant casting again, without a wand… Is he really just a mage?”

Flora didn’t find it strange.

Although Shawn came from the slums, his experience and actual level of understanding were very high.

Moreover, his own skills weren’t bad either, just lacking some miraculous summaries and…

For example, Shawn’s not using a wand was simply because he came from a weak background, he trusted his body immensely, so he came up with a solution.

That was to regard his body as a wand.

That was already something, but he also tried to train and modify his body to make himself more like a wand.

So, after listening to Flora’s guidance, he instantly understood and crossed the realm of “everything can be a weapon” in a short time.

However, what Shawn was doing now was just showing Flayt his outdated techniques—basically a replica of his previous battle with Olivia.

“This control… this magic command… this mana control… it’s all so exquisite!”

Flayt wasn’t scared at all, but seized the time to start analyzing his magic array.

Without observing, there wouldn’t be much he could comprehend.

He was still engrossed in it, even if he failed to block and got hit a few times, his face still showed a thirst for knowledge.

Meanwhile, Ryan deliberately revealed a slightly indifferent expression.

“Don’t think that this is my full strength.”

Saying that, Ryan condensed a lightning ball and flew behind Flayt with lightning speed.

Flayt hadn’t reacted yet, he couldn’t even observe it.

But he wasn’t terrified, instead, he was even happier.

Because this was for alchemy or other techniques… even a mage could achieve this level.

Passing the Heavenly Knight Order’s assessment would naturally be a cinch.

By then, his “friends” wouldn’t dare to bully him anymore!

With a clear goal, Flayt was completely invigorated.

“Let’s end it here, you’re out of mana.”

Ryan was also quite satisfied in his heart… Although he felt that Flayt’s goal might be a bit odd and humble, it didn’t matter.

This spirit of not succumbing to difficulties and gaps, always maintaining a thirst for knowledge, and actively exploring the unknown, was undoubtedly very admirable.

Of course, this was related to Ryan holding back from the start.

If it were those “friends” who usually beat Flayt to the point where he had no room to think, or simply didn’t want to waste time abusing these bullying mediocre students, Flayt would have no chance to learn or comprehend anything in battle.

However, upon realizing that Ryan was deliberately holding back, Flayt was stunned for a few seconds.

Perhaps he thought Ryan was sympathizing with him, his pride flared up and he felt very unhappy.

Or perhaps he felt that Ryan had some ulterior motive… But in the end, the thought of improving his strength prevailed.

That’s why there was the subsequent guidance.

Because if Flayt showed a disdainful expression, Ryan would immediately stop, turn around and leave, and completely give up the idea of recruiting him.

Offering a warm face to a cold backside…

He was a foolish and miserable person, but he wouldn’t go that low.

Fortunately, the result was…

Even more surprising—

“This… there’s even killing power?”

“No way, is this guy too strong?”

“It can only be said that rumors are all lies… Compared to the Crown Prince, I’m more surprised by that gloomy guy. He’s so vicious in battle, could he be some kind of psychopath?”

“Hard to say, maybe he was bullied too much and became mentally unstable… It’s better to stay away from him in the future.”

Even the “friends” who had been bullying Flayt all along now looked troubled, unsure of how to treat Flayt in the future.

Although this situation would probably revert after a few days, it could at least bring Flayt a rare moment of peace, allowing him to understand what a normal life was like.

“Your Highness Shawn, thank you for your guidance!”

Flayt didn’t bother to pay attention to what the people around him were saying.

After bowing, he immediately sat down on the spot, took out his notebook and began to recall the details of the battle just now.

Flora hurriedly stepped forward and transmitted her voice:

[Your Highness Shawn, thank you for your hard work.]

[It’s fine, it didn’t take much effort.]

Shawn said lightly.

Although Olivia and Flayt were both promising talents, they were still too inexperienced.

At most, they were at the level of a squad leader in the Black Dragon Knight Order… Olivia might be more powerful, but her mindset was lacking.

They both needed to mature.

At this moment, Shawn intuitively sensed some emotions from the blonde girl, so he interrupted before the latter could speak:

[Report anything you need to after lunch break.]
