Chapter 84
Bellen had set a condition with Frostheart Academy beyond just alcohol: she would only start teaching once there was just one student left. Today, that moment arrived.
Sizzle!
In the training ground, Leana put ice into a hot basin. Bellen approached her and asked,
“You’re incredibly persistent. Why do you seek to learn from me?”
Leana calmly answered,
“You may not remember, but you helped me when I was a child. I’ve wanted to become a knight ever since. If I’m going to learn, I want to learn your swordsmanship.”
Bellen took a step closer and fixed her with a penetrating gaze.
“I know people like you. You won’t put down the sword because of your stubbornness. I’ve seen countless people die that way. Even if you survive, you’ll end up like me. You’ll spend your life as a knight and be left with nothing. If you don’t want that, graduate half-heartedly and live as an ordinary noble.”
Two professors who were assisting approached with troubled faces. They were probably here to object to the broken condition. Bellen gestured for them to stay back and listened to Leana’s reply.
