The Archangel of Death - Chapter 153

153: Girl’s training 153: Girl’s training Chapter 153 “First of all, I want to say that you did amazing in the tournament.

All of you did.

Unfortunately, Alicia didn’t win but that was only because she was caught by surprise, otherwise, there was no way she could have lost.” I said as all three of the girls stood before me, Alicia was a little unsatisfied so I had to comfort her because she lost.

All in all, they did great.

Especially, “Rose, I was especially impressed with your performance.

You not only mastered the technique I taught you, but you also flawlessly executed it.

There is no point I can guide you on that you need to improve.

Simply flawless.” I expected Rose to be happy from the praise but she simply stood still without a word.

Yeah, she was very angry at me and I don’t think sleeping with her without any funny business would be enough to placate her.

So all I could do was remain professional, “So flawless that you have earned yourself a break.

No training until after the third test.” This one really took her off the track as she hurriedly protested, “What?

Why?” “Because the third test’s artifact would deny you entry so I cannot let you through and make any more progress because you are too close to breaking through to the next rank.” No kidding, she was already level 247 after all that training of her own.

She does anything anymore, and she will be reaching her block and knowing Rose, with the way she was progressing, there might not be a block ahead and she would just transition to the next rank.

She wasn’t satisfied with my answer but Laura grabbed her hand and said, “He’s a jerk but listen to him.

He always has our best interests at heart even though he’s a jerk.” There was no need to diss me and twice at that.

Whatever, she listened and that’s all that mattered.

Rose nodded and turned to me and asked, “Then what do I do?” I smiled as I had the perfect plan in my head for her.

Fighting against me would be a bad idea because she would end up learning something but fighting against two weaker ones wouldn’t be a problem.

“Simple.

Spar with these two.

One of them is the mage with the most mana than anyone else and the other one is a mage who uses mana instead of aura so it would be an interesting experience.

Of course, with how weak they are compared to you, they won’t be able to do anything against you so it would be them doing the learning mostly.” I instructed for which, she turned to glance at Laura and Alicia and after a while, she nodded and said, “I will do my best.” “Great!

Don’t hold back on them.

I will make sure they don’t die.” I said with a smile and moved a few steps back.

All three of them moved a little away from each other making a triangle only it was two on one, not a three-way fight.

“Begin!” I started the match and almost immediately, Laura jumped at Rose at full speed but Rose simply covered herself in lightning and sidestepped just a little to let the punch pass that must have felt like a snail’s punch to her.

She countered with a punch that shattered Laura’s ribs and she was sent flying across the training room.

[An HP recovery potion has been used on the party member ‘Laura Ravenknight’] Rose didn’t move from her place and pointed her hand at Alicia who instinctively conjured a shield in front of her.

Lightning shot from Rose’s hand and struck her shield, shattering it and striking Alicia.

Alicia was also thrown away but not much like Laura but given that her body wasn’t as strong as Laura, she sustained even more damage to herself.

[An HP recovery potion has been used on the party member ‘Alicia mon Grante’] With minimal movement and full use of her abilities, Rose dealt with both of her opponents.

My assessment of Rose just went up by one grade.

She wasn’t just good but she had a terrifying battle sense which she hadn’t had all along but just developed in the recent months.

Laura stood up after she was healed and moved with her hands covered in darkness.

It was the same move only this time there were two dark spheres with corroding properties being hurled at Rose.

After all, Laura was a mage class.

Rose effortlessly dodged them and once again punched Laura by moving closer to her which Laura didn’t expect and she was once again thrown across the room which cost me another HP recovery potion.

Alicia didn’t move from her spot after being healed.

She remained unmoving and when Laura was healed and stood up as well, she called her and said, “It won’t work!

We have to work together.” Laura nodded and prepared her mana whereas Alicia empowered herself with mana and cast many spells to increase her physical capabilities.

They both moved and circled around Rose to split her concentration.

Rose remained in her spot and didn’t move from her spot.

{Holy Rain} The tridents of light appeared above Rose’s head and fell on her.

She still didn’t move and the tridents fell on her.

However, she remained unharmed.

It was too fast for Alicia and Laura to notice but she moved very slightly every time and dodged all of the tridents.

It seemed like she was standing still but in fact, it was just a very fast movement.

With my stats halved, even I had to concentrate really hard to keep up with her movements.

Alicia was a little upset that her move didn’t work but she still moved in regardless of the lack of reaction from Rose.

Laura, on the other hand, shot the spheres at Rose just as she had finished dodging the light tridents.

Rose also dodged them but her movement caused an opening for Alicia who took full advantage of it while Laura still kept Rose’s attention on her.

Rose kept her attention on Laura but just as Alicia’s fist was about to connect, her fist was grabbed by Rose who instantly turned to face her and before Alicia could even process what had happened, she was spun and thrown and Laura who couldn’t react in time as well and both of the girls were flung across the room.

Diverting her attention was a good idea but it was useless in front of a girl who could move ten times faster than them.

no matter what, they weren’t winning this battle even if they tried to cheat.

And I was proven correct when even after twenty minutes of the spar, there was no progression.

They weren’t even close to hitting Rose at all.

Still, the motive I had was achieved.

Since Alicia and Laura weren’t taking part in the tournament, then it was better that they focused on their breakthroughs.

[Laura Ravenknight LV 192] [Alicia mon Grante LV 198] Laura was a little behind Alicia and we will easily solve that by clearing the slime dungeon which I hadn’t attended to for some time now so it must have enough slimes to raise Laura’s level to 199.

I had asked Sirius to reserve the dungeon for me alone and not even clear it.

It was an easy request since no one was interested in clearing it anyway and I was doing it for free which was better than paying mercenaries.

After another four hours of hard work, Alicia finally reached her limit which meant that Laura was the only one left.

Alicia left for her breakthrough in the corner and I approached Laura who was panting like she had run ten marathons at once.

Rose, on the other hand, seemed as fine as she was before.

“That’s enough.” I carried her forcibly in my arms because she wasn’t letting up even though Alicia had left for her breakthrough a while ago.

She still kept fighting Rose which only became worse now that Rose wasn’t focused on Alicia as well.

“LET ME GO!

I CAN STILL FIGHT!!!” The protest she put up was something else and on the entire way to the dungeon, everyone kept looking at me weirdly.

Not because I was forcefully taking a girl away but because of the profanities flowing out of that girl’s mouth.

When we arrived at the dungeon, the protest from Laura increased threefold.

She was practically drilling holes in my ear.

“NO!

I AM NOT GOING IN THERE!!!

NO MATTER WHAT!!!” She protested as strongly as she could and I didn’t listen to one damn thing.

My shoulder was sore from carrying her and her continued protests and I wasn’t at my full power as well.

“Don’t worry.

You won’t be doing anything.” I said as I entered the dungeon with her.

She still moved and protested which made my shoulder ache even more but I ignored it because there was no time.

The tournament would begin in the morning and it was already almost midnight.

====== [You have slain 431 C- rank slimes] [You have received 4,310,000 coins] [You have received 431 C- rank slime cores] “Jerk!” [You have slain 219 C rank slimes] [You have received 2,190,000 coins] [You have received 219 C rank slime cores] “Bastard!” [You have slain 87 C+ slimes] [You have received 870,000 coins] [You have received 87 C+ slime cores] “Abuser!” [You have received no EXP] “Mongrel!” [Your party member ‘Laura Ravenknight’ is now level 199] “Miscreant!” Laura and I were currently on our way back to the training room.

It took us almost two hours to clear the dungeon so it was still one in the morning.

Laura wasn’t happy with me and while I checked the notifications of my hunt from before, she kept calling me cute names.

I ignored that and said, “You are almost at your breakthrough and you should be feeling it right now.

When we get back, focus on that.” I instructed to which I received another shout.

“DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!” She yelled at me, garnering attention from everyone on the street.

“I’m not telling you what to do.

I’m just saying what should be beneficial to you.

Besides, weren’t you the one who said that I only had your best interests at heart earlier today?” I calmly explained myself.

Right now, the trouble wasn’t that Laura was jealous.

When a woman is jealous, there are hundreds of ways to placate her but there is no way to calm her down when you have put your life in danger.

Laura had complained the most about my lack of compassion for my own life but I didn’t know how to tell her how selfish of a person I was.

The only time I put my life in danger was when it came to saving someone or kids.

I would never put myself in danger in any other situation.

Right now though, she wasn’t going to listen to me no matter what I said.

All I could do was be myself and be nice.

Girls liked nice and as long as one treated them nicely, they would eventually let go of their anger.

“THAT A MISTAKE FROM MY PART!!!” She yelled at me and resumed her walk.

We arrived at the training room shortly afterward.

Laura entered the training room and closed the door in my face.

I was speechless but didn’t enter because I didn’t want to upset her anymore.

“Never expected you to be so passive when it came to relationships.” I heard a comment in a familiar voice which I recognized to be of my business partner, Sophien.

“Even the fearsome lion is a tamed cat in front of his wife.” I quoted.

“Wise words,” Sophien said.

“Yeah.

They belong to my father.” I added to the reply.

“Must be a very wise man or a strange then because I don’t think the men of this world can be like that.” She said in return.

I chuckled as she was a hundred present true.

He was wise and weird at the same time, my dad.

Anyway, I didn’t answer because I wanted to stop this topic.

I wanted to know why she was here about which I had a pretty good hunch but I still let her lead the conversation.

“Mind if we talk?

Alone.” She asked to which I nodded and left with her.
