Chapter 124: Characters (5)
“The growth of a person happens explosively only when they challenge themselves to overcome a wall beyond their limits. You, who have taught so many people, should know that best, shouldn’t you?”
“I agree, but isn’t it too much to ask someone who’s barely trying to surpass the four-star level to face a five-star summoner?”
“Hahaha. When you were teaching those naïve girls, you made them do tasks beyond their limits, but now that it’s your turn, you seem worried. Isn’t that how one becomes a master who only talks big?”
Fina burst into genuine laughter, looking like a mischievous child.
The way she laughed, swinging her bare feet in the air, was so different from when she acted as Dereck’s disciple during the day that it was hard to believe she was the same person.
Dereck lowered his gaze with an incredulous expression, but Fina kept smiling.
No matter how you compared them, assigning a physically demanding task and directly facing a five-star mage were not equivalent things.
“You have such a strong desire for self-improvement that your threshold for limits is far too high. You’re like a stubborn guy who clenches his teeth and endures trials that would make ordinary mages roll on the ground and cry pathetically.

“If I make a mistake, I’ll die.”
