Chapter 35: Green eyes (2/2)
Only, no matter what kind of training, what they pursued was substantive results. It seemed like Ayrin’s results in dodging the black balls were bad, but the extent of his progress was already extremely alarming.
“If you feel it’s too slow even like this, then you can ask Chris if she doesn’t have any tip or trick.”
Belo glanced at Ayrin laying flat on the ground. “Didn’t you tell me teacher Ciaran allowed you to visit her, plus a couple days ago you told me you wanted to go see her? Any powerful figure who progresses at lightning speed will have their own unique tricks and insights when it comes to training. It’s more useful than the experience of a teacher at Huston’s level, or even some elite teachers’.”
“You’re right!”
Ayrin immediately sat up on the ground. “I actually forgot to go see her, I’ll go right now!”
“You’ll go right now?” Belo looked contemptuously at Ayrin. “Even I don’t recognize your current face, you’re still going?”
Ayrin said, “It doesn’t matter, she has severe facial blindness anyway.”
“It doesn’t matter whether she has facial blindness, what matters is whether teacher Ciaran will recognize you,” Belo said with a cold chuckle.
“Oh right.” Ayrin was immediately struck a little dumb. He said, dejected, “Then I can only go tomorrow.”
…
There was another person in Chris’ ward the next evening when Ayrin went there, the swelling on his face more or less gone. It was precisely that short-haired female arcane master who’d been the first to rush inside the ward and pushed Ayrin against the wall that day.
“It’s you?”
That short-haired woman showed surprised as soon as she saw Ayrin come in.
“I came to see Chris, this time I have teacher Ciaran’s permission,” Ayrin obediently answered. He also recognized this arcane master.
“Who’s he?”
Chris asked.
The short-haired woman helplessly made a fainting expression. “Chris, your facial blindness is truly severe enough, this is your little boyfriend Ayrin. Last time he secretly slipped in and brought you your favorite chocolate-stuffed candies with green wrappings.”
“Alright. Don’t deceive me though, teacher, he’s a schoolmate, not a little boyfriend.” Chris smiled and stuck out her tongue at Ayrin, a little embarrassed.
“Since you remember clearly, then I won’t interrupt you guys.” The short-haired woman didn’t seem as anxious this time. She smiled, but she still left a stern sentence for Ayrin when she left the room: “You might have Ciaran’s permission, but you still have to be careful about her health, don’t give her random things to eat.”
Ayrin immediately agreed like a good boy.
“Hurry up.” As soon as the short-haired woman’s footsteps disappeared from the corridor outside, Chris immediately shouted excitedly at Ayrin, “The chocolate-stuffed candies you bought last time are in the cabinet next to the windows, hurry up and give me two.”
“Ah?” Ayrin said, “That teacher just especially forbade me to give you things to eat.”
“Chocolate-stuffed candies aren’t random things. Anyway, I know that eating two won’t be a problem.”
“Alright then.”
Ayrin opened the cabinet and took out two candies. He unwrapped them one by one and stuffed them into Chris’ mouth. “You still can’t move?”
“I can already move one side of my body. But I have to wait at least three days before moving so I can recover a little better.” Chris pouted and said, exceptional contentment written on her face, “I should be able to move the other side in about ten days.”
“That’s pretty fast.” Ayrin immediately became happy. “Your facial blindness is severe enough though. Will you remember me next time I come?”
“I will try my best.” Chris watched Ayrin’s face. “Eh? Why does your face look like you took a beating? Did someone bully you, or did teacher Huston punish you guys again? Tell me, I’ll help you vent when I go out.”
“There’s no need to, I got hit by the balls in the ball bouncing gym.” Ayrin awkwardly said, “In fact, I came to see you because I wanted to ask you, is there any trick to these exercises, including condensing arcane particles as fast as possible?”
“Ah.” Chris opened her mouth and watched Ayrin.
“What?” Ayrin looked back at her, feeling curious.
“I’ll tell you if you give me another chocolate-stuffed candy,” Chris said with a very proud smile.
“Fine.” Ayrin could only take another candy, unwrap it, and push it into Chris’ mouth.
Chris sucked the candy and said with perfect contentment, “In fact, I don’t have any special trick either. I just use all the time I have available for training on training, until I can’t even stand up. If there has to be a trick, then… you can arrange some rewards for yourself.”
“Rewards?”
“That’s right, rewards for achieving your goals.” Chris nodded in all seriousness. “For example, I especially like to eat this chocolate-stuffed candy, so I put some on the side when I train. I can eat these candies as long as I reach the results I set for myself. You’ll surely be a little more motivated that way. I often used this method before, new clothes I wanted, my favorite chocolate candies… Right, do you have anything you particularly like to eat? You can try with that.”
Ayrin said with lush green eyes, “There’s nothing I don’t like to eat.”
