“Hng… “
Ruth grunted annoyed and turned his back to her, wearing his cape all the way to his head Max continued to poke his back like a gru caterpillar
“Co… I cah… I wish you came an hour later…” He squinted his eyes narrowly and looked up at her with a frown “Did you just poke me like fireith that?”
Max quickly hid the kindling behind her back Ruth opened his eyes like he was fully awake and then leapt up to his feet and snapped
“I’ve been thinking about it before, but aren’t you treating me so harshly?”
“I can’t just carelessly touch the hair or b-body of a s-sleeping ht?”
“Can’t you at least do it in a ly and sighed “Anyway, it’s alright I’ll prepare for class”
Ruth began to tidy up the parchment and bookshelves on the floor Max felt a little sorry and quietly helped hi, rolled the, and threw thee box
“Did you read all the books I recommended yesterday?”
“Only half of them… I couldn’t read the others”
“Did you finish studying element theory?”
“N-not yet…”
He squinted and stroked his chin “It’s hard to learn defensive and offensive eometry and elemental theory At the least, you should read all of the books I’ve recommended”

“Sir Wizard!”
The apprentice knights laid down their wooden swords and turned their heads towards the to visit as soon as we finished theYou asked yesterday…”
Yulysion, as speaking cheerfully while wiping his sweaty face, found Max standing behind Ruth and his eyes opened wider He hurried to her and started chatting happily
“The lady is here too! How are you? It’s such a relief that you have regained your health! You don’t kno very worried I have been I should have been able to protect you better…Are you feeling well now?”
