Handling with Ease

Olivia was somewhat distraught this weekend.

Due to her fight with the family head, she could only stay in the school dormitory.

And without the usual packed training schedule, with nowhere to escape and nothing to do, she could only be dragged around by her two friends, Sophia and Hana.

The students’ duty of studying?

Without wearing her special gear, her mind wouldn’t settle down, and she couldn’t study at all.

She had to accompany them to go shopping everywhere.

It must be said that Olivia’s feminine attributes were very low.

Normally, she was either training or studying, and she chose clothes based on convenience.

Fashion trends and high society had nothing to do with her; the school uniform was the best clothing in her opinion.

She didn’t use makeup either, because it would get wet with sweat and become even more unsightly…

As a result, this weekend, she was forced to visit eight clothing stores, six cosmetics stores, and seven accessory stores, and was used as a clothes hanger by the two for at least eight hours… and she couldn’t understand what was fun about it?

There were also all sorts of restaurants, dessert shops… places Olivia rarely visited, all of which she had been to…

Although she indeed loved to eat desserts, but for other high-calorie, unhealthy-looking foods, she wasn’t very interested.

The worst was the tea party of the noble ladies… She was almost treated as a joke throughout.

Therefore, Olivia not only didn’t relax her mind and body but was instead exhausted in mind and body… she only hoped that Monday would come soon, to use the class time to reduce the time of being “tortured” by the two.

“Of course, if Flora just dismisses her, that would be good.”

“Sorry, I didn’t think it through thoroughly.”

After hearing the silver-haired girl’s grievances, Flora said apologetically:

“It’s okay, I just want to know when it will end.”

In fact, Flora didn’t use any oath or contract magic to restrain Olivia; it was Olivia who was self-aware and had enough willpower that this situation occurred.

But whether it should stop here… she had to check it before knowing, Olivia, forgive my presumption.

After the lesson of scaring Olivia last time, this time, Flora knew that she had to ask before taking action.

This was actually related to her hypnotizing herself and removing the concept of “men and women not being intimate”.

She reflected silently in her room last night and now she had added the concept of “girls also need to understand measure” in her mind.

“Okay, no problem.”

Olivia nodded obediently, and opened her arms under Flora’s gaze.

Flora carefully pinched the muscles on Olivia’s limbs, and used magic to check. Flora then nodded lightly.

“Not bad, keep it up.”

“Continue?” Olivia’s face, which had been a little expectant, immediately wilted, “Is this really meaningful?”

Before Flora could say anything, Ryan, who had been silently waiting beside them, spoke:

“Since she doesn’t believe it, let her see the actual effect.”

“That’s right, it’s better for you to actually test it out, Olivia… Your Highness Ryan, please.”

Flora approved Ryan’s words,

Previously, in order to cultivate Olivia’s thinking ability, and also to give Olivia a deeper understanding, she had always kept the reason unsaid,

but the reason was actually not difficult to guess, it was just that Olivia was too slow…

Flora decided to take a more forceful approach to let Olivia slightly doubt herself.

Moreover, Ryan taking the initiative to say such words… really exceeded Flora’s expectations.

She had to give it her full support and positive feedback.

Ryan also immediately understood what Flora meant, picked up a one-meter-long branch from the roadside,

“Come on, I’ll be in training and make it quick.”

This sounded somewhat contemptuous and insulting, but Olivia didn’t feel that way at all.

After the previous sparring, she already understood that Ryan was at least at the top five level of the school, and might even be able to compete with that Saiyi Moendi.

He had the qualifications to look down on her.

Instead, that is, Ryan sparring with her again, instructing her… was really rare and precious.

The other people in the school who were stronger than her, had always been too lazy to care about her, let alone what sparring was.

She had been somewhat despondent that day, and honestly, she still felt somewhat hit now, but after Flora said that Ryan would help her become stronger…

She once again rekindled her hope for the future,

at least, she had the courage to draw her sword again.

“What’s the situation? That silver-haired ape-woman is fighting with someone again?”

“And it’s the Crown Prince again?”

“What’s the situation? Didn’t they say that the Crown Prince only took action because of a traitor? Now he has to come again? Is it so devastating?”

“It’s terrifying, is this what happens when you oppose the Crown Prince?”

The students passing by discussed,

Olivia was immediately somewhat hesitant.

Because the words of these people seemed too far-fetched and too much.

Although she didn’t have much contact, Olivia could clearly feel that Ryan wasn’t as cruel as the outside world said.

And she also didn’t get humiliated and… oh, there was a blow,

but that was also her own problem, not Ryan’s fault.

If Ryan intended to humiliate her, there was no need to have Flora come and guide her…

“Be serious!”

A stern voice pulled Olivia’s attention back.

Ryan was dissatisfied that she was distracted in front of him.

“I’m very sorry!”

Olivia responded and quickly drew her azure-colored fine sword, no longer daring to be distracted.

This time, it was Ryan who quickly attacked, the fragile branch in front of him transformed into a sword-like existence, and soon suppressed Olivia to the point where she could only struggle to support herself.

(The lines, can’t be caught at all…)

This time, Olivia had a clearer understanding of the gap between her and Ryan, she didn’t even have a chance to cut the lines, and the other party didn’t damage her weapon…

But what was even more magical was that the fragile branch couldn’t be cut.

If Ryan had applied a hardening magic to the branch or something,

but there wasn’t.

Ryan was just holding an ordinary branch, and simply used skill to suppress her, who was holding a real sword.

“What the… Olivia, you’re performance is too disappointing, right?”

The surrounding audience didn’t agree.

Olivia wasn’t disturbed by these words.

Or rather, she had already fallen into a predicament where she didn’t even have the leeway to think.

“Letting you not be distracted isn’t letting you not think. And it’s not letting you only think about how to destroy other people’s weapons.”

Ryan said helplessly.

“Even without using abilities, he understands what the other party is thinking through the sparring… To be honest, he has a somewhat pessimistic degree towards the silver-haired girl’s dullness.

But at the same time, he also felt the other party’s perseverance and the efforts of countless trainings.

“It’s just that—”

“Haha, Ryan, you’re quite optimistic now,” Flora said, watching from the side.

“Okay.”

Ryan immediately took away the sword in Olivia’s hand, ending this sparring session.

Because they didn’t use telepathy, including the onlookers, they were stunned.

This… is it done with ease?

This is too strong, right?

Olivia took a deep breath and bowed solemnly:

“Thank you for the guidance.”

When she went to get her sword back, Olivia was about to leave, but was immediately stopped by Flora.

“Olivia, it’s time for class.”

“Ah… oh, okay.”

Olivia had to give up on her plan of going to the restroom to wash her face, and followed the two towards the classroom with a stiff upper lip.

[Sorry, Olivia, is it better to go to a place with fewer people next time?] Flora transmitted the message on the way.

“I’m fine.”

Olivia couldn’t use magic and could only speak softly.

But these words couldn’t be considered as forcing herself.

Now that she had calmed down, she began to feel that she had been somewhat cowardly just now, and had even developed the idea of going to a small space… this was really not right.

As for the onlookers—

“Since you have chosen to become a knight, don’t care about those meaningless noises,” Ryan said disdainfully.

Olivia couldn’t help but be stunned.

But it wasn’t because Ryan’s words touched her.

It was because this scene in front of her reminded her of something from her childhood.

The master in her memory always spoke so coldly.

And beside the master, there was always a blue-haired girl who would care for her.
