Chapter 288

Village Chief Fran…?

Many of Schwartzekatze’s black catkin sat down by a fire or began fanning themselves the ht theic, but also about water and earth ic as wellIt seemed that the topics had piqued quite a bit of interest here and there, as a couple black catkin had started practicing the our hich the villagers trained convincedup in due tiht, until I’d come to a realization

“Wait, don’t they need to get ic manipulation to actually cast stuff?”

Aic ecraft, and I highly doubted that any of Shcwartzekatze’s villagers already had the skillSiy abundant in the natural environh to actually teach them how to manipulate mana

“Chief”

“Yes, what is it?”

“NnStand here”

“Sure thing”

The village chief obiently listened to Fran’s orders and stood hian to focus

“I-I’?”

“NnUsing ic”

She tried seizing control of the chief’s ic manipulation skillMuch to her surprise, it’d worked out surprisingly wellShe wasn’t able to gain full control, but she at least ain the ability to mess with it and stir it up

“Feel?”

“I… can! I can’t

tell what it is, but I can feel so!”

“NnMagical energy”

“I see!”

Huh, that’s a pretty solid idea

“NnGet everyoneForm line”

“Right away!”

The chief ran around the town square and gathered all the villagers before FranIt only took them an instant to form a pair of perfectly neat lines

And so, both Fran and I got to workWe beganthe et them accustomed to the flow of manaNeither of us really knew exactly how effective the action was, but ere convinced that it was at least better than leaving Schwartzekatze’s villagers coy was supposed to feel like

It took us a good bit to go through each and every single black catkin, but neither of us particularlyelse to do

“Thank you very much,” said the chief

“Not big deal”

“It is, for us! You not only taught us that it truly was possible to evolve, but also rateful for your actions that we’ve no way to express it!”

A couple other black catkin chiht them would normally be considered top secret inforreement

Magic wasn’t the only thing the villagers were focused onSome asked Fran questions about swordplay as wellThere were quite the nu a second lecture not too long after she was done the first, one focused on the more physical aspects of combat

combat

She taught the them, and what they needed to do to i her three apprentices had really shownShe ful explanations despite still speaking in her usual taciturn manner

The coic and swordplay lectures caused Fran’s popularity to skyrocket and reach even greater heightsIt seemed that all of Schwartzekatze adored herI was pretty sure the chief would be totally willing to hand his position over to her should she ask for it

Speaking of which, the chief ended up approaching Fran not too long after she finished answering most of her newfound students’ questions

“To be honest, I would love for you to take over as chief so that you could lead our villagers and teach them your ways”

Holy shi+t, I called it

“Leaving in few days”

“I see…”

Unfortunately for the villagers, Fran refusedDisappointed expressions immediately appeared on all their faces
