98 Ch. 98 Starting To Remember (1/2)

”Well, if you want to protect them all, you could do it at this point. You are way stronger than you used to be. You are not a baby girl, aren't you?”

”Yes, I'm not a weak little girl I once used to be,” confirmed Niken in an unshakeable voice.

”Then you don't mind the harshness of your upcoming training, do you?”

”Ah?”

Lionel raised an eyebrow hearing the teasing tone of his friend. What is Danzel doing?

”Yes, I don't mind.” for some reason, Niken's voice was not as firm as before.

She was excited to grow stronger, she was eager to have trained with these mentors, yet she didn't like to move a muscle in a tough quest.

How harsh would the training be?

”Xiao Yue, I presumed you knew about the black knight? You are aware that you are inamorata, right?”

A gentle smile appeared in her face. ”Yes, I'm aware.”

”And you don't mind it?”

”Should I?”

Danzel and Lionel looked at each other for a moment then decided to leave it be. If Niken didn't mind being an inamorata, why would they make a fuzz?

The problem was, they won't be able to separate the lover birds. Their original plan was to take Niken away from the knights so the girl could focus on her training. At the same time, Kazuto and the others would be guided by Danzel to control their energy source until they reach their limit.

Now, they had to improvise their plans. Lionel would bring Kazuto, making his job increase as he needs to teach the man to control his source while also training Niken.

Hhhh... Lionel hoped everything will end smoothly as soon as possible.

The next day, Danzel and Lionel explained their plans to everyone. Lionel will take Niken away to train her in a secret place, while Danzel will guide the other knights to maximize their potential power.

Kazuto, who does not want to separate from Niken, will also go along with Niken and Lionel. As for Richard... He doesn't want to let his little sister go away from him. So that Richard wanted to be alone away from home and sit by the riverbank.

Niken was sad to see her brother's low-spirited, slowly approached him. She also did not want to be separated from her brother as they were inseparable, but the place where they were going was not a place anyone could enter. Only the Elementalist knight and the Time Master could set foot in safely.

”Brother...”

Richard turned to his sister with a smile, letting his sister sit next to him.
