Chapter 197: A Week Of Training
A week passed since Frieren began training Rumia to become a stronger mage and to further refine her control over mana. During this time, Rumia gained knowledge of magics that were different from those of her own world and this world, but it didn’t hinder her from learning the spells that Frieren introduced.
Within that single week of training, Rumia’s control over her mana improved dramatically. It wouldn’t even be surprising if she could defeat Zero and the Six Arms all by herself now. Rumia’s talent for magic was something she was born with, allowing her power to increase at an astonishing rate. In addition to her natural talent, she possessed the ability known as ’Amplification,’ which could enhance her spells several times over, making them far stronger than her ordinary magic.
Frieren quickly took notice of Rumia’s talent, which made her even more curious about her new student. At the same time, as the two spent more time together, Rumia discovered something surprising: despite Frieren’s usually flat expression, she was actually much sloppier than she appeared, leaving Rumia speechless.
Because of this, Rumia gradually began tending to Frieren’s daily needs and caring for her. Tuare would sometimes help out when she was around, but it was mostly Rumia who took the lead, carefully brushing Frieren’s silver hair and helping her get dressed with gentle hands.
Clementine also met Frieren during that week and couldn’t help but become curious about the elf girl her master had brought home. Initially, she assumed Frieren was just another new woman of Shido, but it quickly became clear that wasn’t the case. Shido treated Frieren more like a friend than a lover, which solved Clementine’s curiosity about their relationship.
With that cleared up, Clementine tried to get closer to Frieren, pestering her out of playful curiosity. However, it didn’t take long before Frieren found Clementine’s antics slightly annoying. In the end, Frieren simply threw Clementine high into the sky, letting her drop until she was about to hit the ground before stopping her fall at the last moment.
Clementine’s face turned pale, all color draining from her as she trembled, having never felt so terrified in her life. Meanwhile, Frieren, who was lazily yawning with her usual calm expression, ignored the fact that she had just tossed someone into the sky like it was nothing, leaving Clementine’s body cold with fear.
’She’s dangerous.’
That was the only thought in Clementine’s mind as she ran, tears welling in her eyes, hiding behind Shido while her legs trembled. She swore to herself then and there that she would never annoy this silver-haired elf ever again.
Frieren, on the other hand, simply didn’t want Clementine bothering her, since Clementine reeks the smell of blood. She could tell that Clementine was a former killer that murdered hundreds to thousands of people so she didn’t want someone like that near her despite Frieren also killing thousands of demons over the centuries.
Rumia and Shido were speechless at Frieren’s actions, exchanging wry smiles before looking at the lazy elf, who was now pretending nothing had happened.
