"Okay, I'll tell you! I heard you mumbling it in your sleep. That's it I swear!"
"Have you told anyone else?" she growled out impatiently.
"…No."
"Looks like the redcaps will be dining very soon."
"Cousin Nicolaus! He knows but that's it!"
The blonde heiress stared at her sister for several moments before finally releasing the spell causing the latter to fall down.
Astoria scrambled to her feet and ran out the door.
Daphne meanwhile was having an internal debate if she should confront her cousin or let things stay as they were.
It didn't take her very long to decide as she would rather avoid the teasing from her older male cousin.
She couldn't help but think about what Charles was doing at the moment.
----------
Room of Requirements:-
Ducking under a kick, I prepared to throw a punch at the training dummy only to have my feet swept under me.
Before I could react, a metal fist crashed into my jaw, snapping my head in one direction where another punch awaited me.
I rolled with the punch to try and get away, but felt hands grab my ankles and throw me into the air.
I tried adjusting myself in the air, but a foot planted itself in my stomach caused me to fold in on myself. Next, I felt something slam into the back of my head causing me to hit the ground.
I spit out some blood and rolled out of the way just as my foot slammed into the place where my head had previously been.
Turning around, I caught the punch aimed at my back and pulled it toward me to unbalance the dummy only for it to detach its arm and send a roundhouse into my chest.
[Physical Endurance]'s level has risen by one.
[Physical Endurance] (Passive) LV 19 EXP: 0.00%
[Description: The body's durability increases and you take less damage.
Effect: 21% decrease in damage taken by physical attacks.]
Sliding to a stop I checked my health and saw that it was dangerously low. "Pause training," I called out, causing the dummies to stop their attacks.
I let out a tired sigh as my body screamed in pain from the brutal beating I'd just received. Thankfully, it didn't last long as [Gamer's Body] got rid of the pain and the injuries.
A towel landed on my head, which I used to wipe away the sweat and blood.
Hermes landed on the head of one of the training dummies, "I don't know why you insist on doing this suicidal training. Every week you fight these things until you're literally beaten into the ground. Why do you torture yourself like this? Do you enjoy pain or something?"
I gave him an eyeroll, "It's so I don't grow arrogant or complacent. Nothing brings downfall more than laziness and overestimating oneself. What's the verdict?"
"You managed to beat 229 training dummies in 65 minutes. Averages out to 3.5 dummies per minute, so a little worse than last week," Hermes called back the results of the training session.
"It does seem that way," I said standing up.
"Perhaps it's time for you to learn a new skill," the spirit advised. "You currently lack wide area spells or skills that can immobilize your opponents."
That was true, I've mostly been focusing on skills that would help me in one on one fights, seeing as my only real challenge were the zombie wizards. Maybe it was time to branch out.
"Okay. Do you have any ideas?" I asked offhandedly.
"I do actually," Hermes said expectantly as he took out a book from his inventory and flew toward me.
I grabbed the book and opened it to a page that was bookmarked. I gave him a raised eyebrow, "Greek myths?"
"Just read it."
"Hephaestus' Golden Net," I read out loud.
"Yes, the Greek God of Smiths created a golden net to-"
"-trap his cheating spouse and her lover in the act. Yes, I know the story," I interrupted, flipping through the pages. Sometimes inspiration came from unlikely sources. "Hmm, alright let's give it a go."
Calling forth a sphere of mana in one hand, I thought about the best way to go about it. Different designs flashed through my head, until there was only one left.
Bringing my hands together, I concentrated mana to my fingertips until they glowed blue. Taking a deep breath, I started to pull them apart while stretching my mana until there were five thin strands.
[A skill has been created through a special action.]
[Mana String] (Active) LV 1 EXP: 0.00%
[A string made from mana. It has physical durability and disappears after some time as mana scatters. Mana String can be manipulated according to the user's wish, and since it is made of mana it can even affect objects or creatures of indeterminable form.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cost: 2 MP]
Shaking my hands, I dismissed them.
"Mana String," I said, testing out the skill. A long transparent string with a blue hue sprouted from my finger. It looked much stronger and polished than my earlier attempt, reminding me almost of a fishing line.
"Hmm, so it moves according to my will huh?" I said as I made the glowing white string race around the room like a snake. Calling it back I made it levitate parallel to the ground and tried to stand on it, like a tightrope. "Oh, so it's capable of holding me up, but what about?"
The line slowly began to rise in the air meaning it was completely possible to fly using it, but perhaps weaving it in the shape of a harness would provide better stability. I think I had a book on knot tying stashed away somewhere.
Jumping down to the ground, I then made the string go after Hermes.
"Hey! This wasn't part of the deal!" the spirit bird complained as the string followed him around the room.
