336: Start teaching

"Of course! I'm certain!" Ellie shrugged. "If you don't believe me, you can try sensing my Mental Energy!"

As she spoke, Ellie condensed her Star Sword Intent.

At this moment, Lilita released her own Mental Energy to make contact with Ellie.

In an instant, she felt the sheer magnitude of Ellie's "will," and the sharp Sword Intent caused a hint of stinging pain in Lilita's mind.

"If that's the case..." Lilita frowned and pondered for a moment. "Lyas, do you truly like swordsmanship that much?"

"Yes! Mother! I really do like swordsmanship!" Upon hearing this, Lyas's eyes lit up, and she said earnestly. Did this mean... there was still a chance?

"Very well. This time, I will give you a chance to be willful, after all, you are only 12 years old. However, I will only give you one year! Just one year." Lilita said to Lyas, while also addressing Ellie. "If I don't see any progress from you within that year, then... I'm sorry, but you will need to focus entirely on learning witchcraft!"

"Mother! Don't worry! I can do it!" Hearing this, Lyas was overjoyed and immediately said happily, "I knew Mother was an open-minded person!"

"Very good! Isn't this a happy ending for everyone!" Ellie nodded with a smile. "Besides, it won't even take a year. As I said, I don't belong to this world. Coming here, I actually sensed Lyas's 'determination' and 'will,' and coming here to teach her swordsmanship is merely a response to her.

I cannot stay for long; I can only teach her for 30 days! Once the time is up..."

Before Ellie could finish her sentence, she suddenly discovered that the time limit for her [Foreign Teacher] mission had increased to 365 days, and the source points had increased to 500,000 source points per day.

Good heavens! Has the World Will approved of this?

"Alright, I'm not sure if it's because of you, Ms. Lilita, but regardless, the time limit seems to have extended to a one-year period." Ellie shrugged and said.

"Is that so..." Lilita nodded, not paying attention to Ellie's change; she had intended to give her a year anyway.

"Then you must work hard, Lyas." Lilita said, looking at Lyas.

"Mhm! Mom! I will!" Lyas nodded happily.

"Then I won't disturb your sword training. If you're available, come visit our home tonight. Also, you may stay in the castle; future training sessions can be held in the castle's training grounds!" Lilita said to Ellie.

"Mhm... Alright! See you tonight." Ellie thought about it and nodded. Lilita's suggestion was convenient for both parties.

Plus, thanks to Lilita, the time limit for this Foreign Teacher mission was extended so much, and the rewards went up too!

Ellie could definitely thank her for that.

Hmm, I'll just gift her a bottle with ten drops of Life Nectar! After all, she earned me so many source points.

A little token of gratitude!

After all, I, Ellie, know how to repay a favor!

Lilita then used witchcraft and vanished.

"Phew~ I didn't expect Mother to actually agree in the end! I was so afraid she wouldn't!" Seeing her mother leave, Lyas let out a sigh of relief. The situation just now had been terrifying to watch.

She was also terrified that Ellie and her mother would really end up in a fight.

"Don't worry! Although I don't quite agree with some of your mother's methods, she truly cares about you, and she is genuinely good to you." Ellie shook her head slightly. "Besides, we wouldn't have actually fought; that was highly unlikely."

"Mhm..." Lyas nodded.

"But Lyas, you need to take your study of witchcraft seriously from now on!" Ellie said to Lyas.

"I will!" Lyas nodded. Learning and mastering witchcraft wasn't difficult for her, but she preferred swordsmanship!

As for witchcraft, she would just keep learning it; whether she used it or not, there was no harm in knowing it.

Besides, her magic power was indeed very strong.

But she was just rebellious! She just loved swordsmanship!

"Alright, enough small talk. Come on, I'll teach you the Star Sword Technique!" Ellie smiled, said to Lyas, and then began teaching her the Star Sword Technique.

One had to admit, sometimes a Genius is truly a Genius; Lyas's talent for swordsmanship was not weak at all.

In just one hour, she could be considered to have initially mastered the Star Sword Technique.

"This technique is truly amazing!" Lyas exclaimed.

The more she learned, the more she realized how terrifying this sword technique was.

It could even cultivate the power of the stars! While refining the body, it could also nourish the Soul and hone one's spirit! Not only that, but its power was also terrifying!

It was simply a supreme sword technique that developed one in every aspect without any blind spots!

How could such a sword technique exist!

Just what kind of world did Master Ellie come from! A world of swordsmanship? That's too terrifying!

Lyas couldn't help but ponder this.

Because in this world, the swordsmanship of knights was all about tempering the body, refining the flesh, and cultivating battle energy; that was what swordsmanship was! It was the same type of thing as the witchcraft of witches. On the knights' side, it was triggered by battle energy and called Knight Combat Skills.

But no matter which one, none could compare to the Star Sword Technique!

The Star Sword Technique not only included all of that, but its own power was also very strong; Lyas felt that every move could be a Knight Combat Skill.

"Master Ellie! Are all of these in the Star Sword Technique combat skills?" On the way back to the castle, Lyas asked Ellie curiously.

"Hmm? No! Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, and combat skills are combat skills. Once you have learned the Star Sword Technique well enough, I can teach you combat skills." Ellie shook her head slightly and said earnestly.

"Ah? These aren't combat skills..." Lyas was somewhat shocked. Master Ellie's world really was a world of swordsmanship! That's too terrifying!

However, Lyas also began to yearn for them; just how strong were these combat skills! If she learned them, could she become a powerful female knight!

"Alright, don't think too much about it. For you to learn combat skills, at your current progress, it will be at least a month from now." Ellie shook her head slightly. "And that's assuming you already have a certain foundation; otherwise, if you had to start from basic swordsmanship, you'd still be far off!"

"Yes! I will work hard! Teacher Ellie!" Lyas stood tall and said earnestly.

"Mhm! Keep it up! Your workload is quite heavy!" Ellie nodded. Lyas had to study witchcraft, learn swordsmanship, and then meditate at night; all in all, most of her day was occupied.

She basically had no free time of her own.

"It's fine! As long as I can learn swordsmanship, I'm very happy!" Lyas smiled and said. It was clear that she truly loved swordsmanship!

"Mhm~" Ellie nodded. Only someone who loved swordsmanship this purely was worth her, Ellie, putting so much effort into teaching!
