Chapter 12: Trials
Waiting for Raven to arrive, Robin and Gail begin a new day of training.
The golden sunlight shone on the sand, making the two of them dizzy.
After battling each other for a while, Robin noticed that Gail was a little strange today.
She seemed to pay attention to her long white dress and the bows in her braids.
Moreover, she tried not to let Robin get close to her, always trying to distance himself as much as possible so that he could not get close, but she was not in a hurry to put him down.
Not known about what happened though.
But Robin knew it was an opportunity.
If he can defeat Gail, he will be able to pass Raven's first trial.
Then, as Raven promised, she would teach him magic-related lessons.
A real magic lesson.
……
A wicked smile tugged at the corners of Robin's mouth.
This made Gail's heart skip a beat.
Her face became inexplicably hot.
That's when Robin suddenly burst forward.
It's like a little wolf dog.
Gail quickly sank down and lowered his hands in front of him, ready to push him away.
"The offense was too reckless......"
However, just as Robin was about to get in front of her, suddenly there was a sliding shovel.
Gail was shocked.
When did he learn this trick?
Immediately afterward, a cloud of flying sand rose on the training ground.
Under the sun, it is like shining gold.
The flying sand splashed directly onto Gail's body.
She couldn't help but take a step back to her right.
Because she was wearing a beautiful white dress today, she didn't want to get her clothes dirty.
There was a sly glint in Robin's eyes.
You must know that in such a normal situation, Gail will definitely not hesitate to pounce on him and press him to the ground.
Today, however, she uncharacteristically avoided it.
As if having guessed Gail's movements, Robin slid exactly to the intended position.
Before he could get up, he kicked his right leg hard and threw himself sideways.
"Ahh
Gail had a panic on his face.
She didn't expect it to be like this-
When she jumped to the right to avoid the sand, she was facing in the direction of the sun.
Even if Robin didn't use any light magic, she felt like a flower in front of her.
The sun stung her eyes.
Just like she taught Robin before, in battle, always pay attention to the terrain.
Because geographical advantage can sometimes be the difference between victory and defeat.
At the same time, Robin's shoulder hit her waist hard.
Gail lost her mind for a moment, feeling the breath coming from Robin, which made her blush.
It was as if it had hit her heart, and before Gail fell, she saw the white clouds fluttering in the sky, and the sun......
and Robin's face.
In a flash.
Bang!
With a dull sound, Robin and her slammed into the sand.
Well, you don't have to worry about whether your clothes are dirty or not, and whether your hair is messy.
Gail closed his eyes regretfully.
I'm afraid she lost a month of Anna's bread.
Robin was stunned for a moment, looking at Gail lying under his body, a little incredulous.
It was like in a dream, and he didn't expect that he would succeed just now.
Originally, according to his assumption, the sneak attack just now should only help him establish a temporary advantage.
It is to take advantage of the process of the opponent's eyes being exposed to direct sunlight, which can allow him to carry out a few more attacks.
It will take a little more effort to defeat Gail.
However, he didn't expect that with just a light pounce, Gail would fall.
It's like she's defenseless.
"Sorry for staining your clothes."
Robin held out his hand and handed it to Gail.
The young girl was slightly stunned, blushed and shook her head, then took Robin's hand.
An electric current came from her fingertips, making her heart tremble inexplicably.
Robin pulled her up from the ground, patted the sand off her back, and looked up at Raven, who was half-lying in the sun.
"You see it." Robin shouted.
Whether Raven wanted to admit it or not, even if she pretended to close her eyes and sip the liquor from the jug, it wouldn't hide the fact that he had just defeated Gail.
"Anyway, as you asked, I've passed the trial, and you'll have to teach me something about magic."
"No, she didn't use all her strength." Raven frowned.
Yes, Gail didn't use all his strength, and she herself knew it.
But she couldn't control herself.
She felt that she was enchanted and cursed by love.
Even if she doesn't think she's worthy of Lord Robin.
"Raven." There was a hint of anger in Robin's eyes, "No matter what, I think what you say, you should abide by it." This is the most important part of our ability to build trust with each other. ”
Raven frowned.
The Chosen One did not lose his temper and did not use his identity as the Chosen One to pressure her, but only clarified the theory that trust is based on keeping promises, leaving her with no way to refute it.
"Alright," Raven finally relented.
Robin happily stepped forward and listened to her teachings.
Before he walked up the steps, he turned back to Gale and winked, and said in a silent lip, "I'll buy you Anna's bread." ”
The latter was slightly stunned, and a light suddenly flashed in his low gaze.
However, Gale couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Because after Robin passed the trial that Raven gave him, it meant that they would not train like they did today.
She could only occasionally look up at him from the stone steps of the temple in the future.
……
Robin walked over to Raven's side and waited for her to tell her about magic. ”
"Alright, then we're here," Revan said, taking a sip of his wine, his cheeks flushed slightly.
"Before I tell you about magic, I want to ask you a question."
"Okay." Robin nodded in agreement.
"Why do you think I'm going to let you do physical training these days, and then let Gail teach you the martial arts skills?" A sly look appeared in Raven's eyes, "What does this have to do with magic?" ”
What does it matter?
Robin was asked.
What can it matter, the two are not at all the same domain thing.
He had always thought it was just Raven's way of being lazy and passing him.
Just to hone his will and patience.
If anything, it was that his light healing skills had become more powerful.
He still hadn't figured out why the light therapy had been upgraded.
It can't be because you have to have a strong body to be a good magician, right?!
As if to see Robin's confusion and difficulty answering, Revan smiled triumphantly.
"Okay, that's the first lesson in magic."
"Then before you figure out why, you'll have to continue training with Gail."
Raven raised his hand and pointed at the girl in the training ground.
"If you don't have to do your best in the future, then I'll let Luba replace you."
Gail's eyes suddenly came to life, she didn't expect such a result.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Lord Robin.
That said, Raven used a question to push Robin back to his past training.
Gail himself didn't understand what martial arts training had to do with magic.
"I've had enough."
As if sensing Raven's foolishness, the Chosen One finally became angry.
This damn Great Magister probably didn't even think to teach him seriously.
Robin dropped his gloves and turned back to walk towards the palace above.
"The process of growing strength is always the same, you have to understand that first."
Raven's voice came from behind.
However, Robin, who had already filled his chest with anger, turned a deaf ear to this.
……
