Chapter 113: Section Ninety-Six: The Squirrel
After driving away that death-seeking youngster, Malin found himself with nothing to do.
He wanted to learn spell formations, but the spell instructors had already been banned by Old Hoffman: whoever dared teach Malin a spell would be hung from the tower for an entire week.
Considering a certain squirrel had already been hung there for a day, Malin didn’t want to have the cheek to plead with the instructors—it wasn’t about charming them to obtain a spell anymore; it would mean selling their lives.
Better forget about it. Squirrel Instructor Minsk Pavbris ignored Malin for several days because of this, and in the end, it was only with buttered popcorn that Malin managed to bribe him again. However, the squirrel flatly refused to teach higher-order spell formations, and Malin did not press further.
Since he couldn’t learn spell formations, Malin thought about going to the training field, only to find out that there weren’t many people who could spar with him anymore—except for Sword Dancer Instructor Monica GreenSea. However, Instructor Monica often helped out at the Elven Commerce Guild, and as she put it, although Malin’s martial skills were not bad, his lineage made him too dependent on strength. Elven sword dancing sought speed, not swinging a sword to send something flying.
Until Malin understood the true meaning of sword dancing, she wouldn’t take him to partake in Elven missions.
So in the end, Malin was left with no choice but to start writing novels: transplanting the Sherlock Holmes detective series was out of the question. This world had its peculiarities, so adaptations were necessary, or else even the National Publishing House would not approve it—and frankly, before Malin came to this world, he never imagined his love for reading would bring him such an opportunity.
How wonderful it is to plagiarize.
Matilda showed no sign of sadness as if the poor fellow abandoned due to old age was not her. After going out with Faye, she came back dressed in a maid outfit.
The bold black dress paired with a white apron, lovely little leather boots, along with her long tail and petite body... She truly looked like an adorable little fox spirit.
