Mentor Isaac (5)

L-lady Miya!!

In the end today was no different.

The escort wizard from the Land of Fire Blossoms suddenly saw Priestess Miya turn into a fox fire and felt her heart sink.

She felt a sense of despair, thinking, Here we go again.

Lady Miyaaaa!! Where are youuuu!!

If anything were to happen to Miyas well-being, she knew her head would be detached from her neck.

The escort wizard, terrified, sweated profusely as she tirelessly searched for Miya.

Luce and I sat side by side on a small rock I made using [Rock Generation].

The lunchbox Luce brought was packed from a restaurant, so the taste was guaranteed to be good.

Isaac, open your mouth right now.

Dont people usually say say aah at times like these?

Her smile was there, but the choice of words made it sound like she was issuing a command.

Regardless, when Luce offered food with her fork, I quickly accepted and ate it.

Then she smiled broadly, her cheeks slightly flushed as if she was pleased.

Apparently, she had recently learned from a novel that feeding someone was a gesture of endearment.

Luce.

Yes?

How did you know about this place?

Luce, while picking up a piece of chicken with her fork, suddenly paused.

After a brief, awkward silence, she moved her adorable lips.

I happened to coincidentally see Isaac coming this way.

Luce emphasized the word coincidentally.

Still, she maintained a gentle smile on her lips.

Coincidentally?

Yes. You know I have good eyesight. I spotted Isaac from afar.

Is that so.

Luce nodded vigorously, saying Yes, yes, in a way that didnt quite match her faint smile, leaving almost an afterimage.

What a lie its so clumsy, all I can do is laugh.

With [Psychological Insight], I could tell that she had been following me from afar for days because she wanted to see me.

Using [Clairvoyance] to constantly monitor from a distance was bothersome, so I rarely did it, but it seemed Luce was right in its blind spot.

We havent been spending much time together lately. You have mentoring duties, and with the remaining time, you need to focus on training, and then its time to sleep

Thats right.

So, thats why she has been stalking me

To be more precise, it seemed she came all this way wanting to be with me, mentoring or not. To Luce, being a princess or anything else was of no interest.

Even so, you didnt eat dinner? You know that upsets me, right?

I had a piece of bread Hey, this is delicious, you know?

You were hungry, after all. Wait, let me feed you. Open your mouth.

Cant you just tell me to say aah?

I realized I couldnt let Luce leave until we finished eating, so I decided to explain everything thoroughly to White upon her arrival.

I must have been really hungry. The food Luce brought was delicious, especially the seasoned chicken, which I loved.

We made some jokes and played around while feeding each other.

You braided your hair, didnt you?

Does it suit me?

Of course. Can I twist it with my finger just once?

Only if I can twist Isaacs hair too. Tousled hair~.

We giggled as we playfully twisted each others hair with our fingers.

Suddenly, a playful voice that wouldnt leave my memories came to mind.

Arent you a little sad? You didnt get to marry me.

Indeed, Luce was unbearably adorable.

* * *

Ehehe. Its perfect, Merlin! This magic tool will surely make me stronger!

Snow White exhaled sharply through her nose. Her face had a smile filled with hope.

Merlin was walking through the Hydrangea Garden with the princess, who had been tricked by a merchants smooth talk.

After being overwhelmed and fainting from Luce Eltanias immense mana, White began to burn with enthusiasm, wishing to become like her.

Thus, she impulsively purchased an expensive magic tool and now held it in her hand.

Merlin! This is a famous magic tool known to greatly improve mana mastery! Its said to significantly enhance mana! It cost two weeks worth of meals, but it must be worth it, right?

White declared confidently that she would cultivate self-reliance at the academy and take responsibility for her own life.

In this land, a unique currency named gel facilitates the circulation of a small economy, so the gel in Whites wallet would be her only available asset

She did receive a substantial amount of gel as an admission reward, but the problem was that Whites grades were exceedingly low.

The only means to earn gel were through performance evaluations and exams. Since it was during the semester, it was not possible to earn gel through labor. Naturally, this meant that the gel she could acquire would be limited for a while.

Overspending was a quick path to ruin. Merlin worried whether White would be able to make sensible purchases with the remaining gel she had remaining.

Senior Isaac will surely praise me for being so commendable, wont he? Ehehe~.

Yes he surely will.

But Merlin wasnt brave enough to say anything against that bright smile, which seemed to make flowers bloom around her. Especially since it was a purchase for her own development

Merlin could only nod in response to Whites words.

Eventually, they reached a secluded path, nearly arriving at a corner of the Hydrangea Garden.

Ah, theres Senior Isaac~. Who is he with Freeze!

White suddenly stopped and quickly stretched her arm out to the side to block Merlin. She had an urgent expression.

Then she pushed Merlins back, grunting, and hid behind a nearby tree.

White peered out from behind the tree, glancing toward Isaac.

Why are you doing this, Princess Whi-?

Merlin also peered out and, upon seeing Isaac, her eyes widened in surprise.

She saw a female student with rose-gold hair feeding Isaac.

L-Luce Eltania! Its Senior Luce!

Whites voice trembled.

Luce Eltania. The top seat of the second year of the Magic Department?

Hadnt she mentioned her admiration for Luce? Merlin wondered why White sounded so terrified.

Are you talking about the famous Ice Princess?

Yes, yess!

But shes personally feeding Sir Isaac. Seeing how happy they are, they might be in a relationship.

Is she Senior Isaacs girlfriend?

Isaac was indeed a commendable senior with rapid progress, but Luce Eltania was a being of a different caliber.

White recalled the intimidating aura Luce had displayed in the previous class. The memory of her smiling brightly at Isaac was in stark contrast, giving an unfamiliar feeling.

Meanwhile, Merlin casted a look of skepticism.

Luce was a formidable figure, known for having a legendary familiar and even thwarting the attacks of the Floating Island.

Moreover, having received elite training at Mrchen Academy, she would have mastered the efficient and systematic handling of her abundant mana.

She was an exceptional student famous for her cold demeanor towards others and her overwhelming talent.

Is her heart uniquely softened towards only Isaac?

Did Isaac possess something special?

Such was the doubt that crossed Merlins mind.

Senior Isaac must be an incredibly capable man!

White, filled with admiration. Respect for Isaac seemed to have bloomed even further in her heart.

Hes truly my mentor!

A sigh escaped Merlins lips. How could this Princesss mind be so pure, she wondered.

Meanwhile, 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Whats this?

The beautiful girl with pearl-black hair, Priestess Miya, was greatly startled upon seeing Isaac and Luce together.

Suspecting that she would definitely be caught by Luce if accompanied by her escort wizard, Miya had secretly followed her on her own.

So she had made her way to a corner of the Hydrangea Garden.

But there, she witnessed an unexpected scene.

Shes smiling?

Luce Eltania.

The Luce Eltania, who seemed cold and unapproachable to everyone as if she had no blood or tears, whom Miya believed to be a fellow cold-hearted individual, was showing a pure smile and seemed to be enjoying herself with just one man.

That man

Miya remembered seeing the man, whom Luce was looking at so affectionately, before.

He was the silver-blue-haired senior she encountered in the corner of the Butterfly Garden on the day of the entrance exam while searching for the Nameless Hero.

She didnt know his name. What interest could there be in a man whose mana seemed so insignificant?

But why was Luce Eltania, of all people, smiling so happily at that man? Miya couldnt understand.

Miya frowned.

Irritation surged within her.

Soon, a student fitting the description of pure white and a knight with a dark green ponytail approached Isaac and Luce. It was White and Merlin.

White approached Isaac awkwardly, humming a tune and looking away. It was then that Isaac and Luce stood up.

I-I didnt mean to interrupt, you know! I need to train too!

Luce glared coldly at White, who was fumbling over her words.

White, sweating profusely and with tears welling up in her eyes due to fear, sent a pleading look to Merlin for help.

Merlin sighed and stepped forward to assist White.

Are you two, by any chance, an item?

Luce shook her head, then blushed slightly and timidly replied, Just friends

Isaac also responded with a similar answer, smiling awkwardly. freew(e)bnovel.com

This is?

Merlins eyes sparkled as she grasped the nature of their relationship.

Perhaps the stage before becoming a couple!

Merlins heart softened in an instant as if witnessing a sweet moment of youth.

To Merlin, who still harbored the heart of a young girl, the relationship between Isaac and Luce appeared very endearing.

Merlin?

White couldnt understand why Merlin suddenly had sparkling eyes.

Soon after, Isaac looked at White and smiled sheepishly.

Sorry about that. I was waiting until you arrived. I didnt mean to make you feel awkward.

No no no! Thats not it at all!

Luce, the meal was great. Thank you. See you later.

Isaac smiled and patted Luces shoulder.

Alright.

Luce replied with a voice tinged with reluctance.

If she tried to stay with Isaac even at the cost of disrupting the mentoring session, it could have the opposite effect and distance them. She had learned this the hard way during last semesters social gathering.

Still, having achieved her goal of having fed Isaac, Luce decided to leave, content with how things went.

Ill get going. See you later, Isaac.

Take care.

Luce gave Isaac a quick smile and gathered her things.

As she was leaving, she casted a brief glance at White.

!

A shiver ran down Whites spine.

Luce was glaring at her.

White immediately realized why. She had been receiving one-on-one training from Isaac, so Senior Luce must have been feeling jealous.

White wanted to assure Senior Luce that there was nothing to worry about, but she couldnt find the words.

Luce silently left the corner of the Hydrangea Garden.

A brief, awkward silence followed.

S-se-senior Isaaaac, s-shall we s-start the t-training?!

Feeling as though Luces hostility still lingered, White stammered like a broken clock.

Are you okay? Is something wrong?

No, no Just feeling a bit stiff. Lets get on with the training!

Oh, you bought a magic tool. I have one of those too.

Ah Eheheh. Exactly! Seems like I made a good choice!

As Isaac smiled kindly and changed the topic, White quickly became more cheerful.

The two chatted happily about the magic tool.

***

I saw it.

Colorful hydrangeas were in full bloom along the path.

As Luce passed through the Hydrangea Garden, a girl with pearl-black hair suddenly emerged and spoke to her. It was Priestess Miya.

Luce looked at her with an indifferent expression, then turned her head forward and hastened her steps, showing no interest.

Miya blurted out words towards the back of Luce as she was leaving.

I didnt know Senior Luce could smile like that.

Luce ignored her.

You look really beautiful when you smile, Senior. Enough for me to get entrances, even if for a moment.

Luce continued to ignore her.

Why would someone like you only smile for such an unremarkable man?

Luce stopped in her tracks.

Realizing she had struck a nerve, Miya smirked, teasing Luce.

Is that senior your type, Senior Luce? Well, his face isnt too bad. But you two dont seem to be on the same level.

I think youre smiling at the wrong person. How about smiling for someone more on your level? You are truly amazing, Senior Luce.

Luce turned her head back and glared at Miya.

Her eyes, deep like the ocean, held no light within them. That cynical look gave Miya the chilling sensation of walking on thin ice.

Yes, that was Luce Eltania. Miya gladly accepted the hostility emanating from Luce.

You aim to be an exalted Tower Master, dont you? But honestly, you cant achieve that dream alone, can you? Its not something you can become just with some money and talent.

But you know, Senior Luce~ I have wealth, fame, power, everything. I can grant you everything you desire.

Miya, with her hands behind her back and a fox-like grin, slowly approached Luce.

Let me reintroduce myself. I am Miya, the Priestess of the Land of the Fire Blossoms. If youre going to smile, itd be better to smile at me instead of that insect

[Miya, run!!]

Suddenly, blue and purple magic circles conjured around Luce in multiple directions.

Fzzzzzzt!!!

Whoooosh!!!

The powerful water magic, imbued with the purple lightning of Thunderbird, shot toward Miya like a cannon, with no place for her to escape.

Miyas eyes widened as she instinctively calculated the summoning spell for the Nine-tailed Fox in her head.

Soon, the Nine-tailed Foxs mana cloaked her, creating nine red fiery tails to form a robust protective shield.

However.

Bzzzt!!

Boom!!

Gahh!!

The purple lightning collided with the flames, causing a mana-induced explosion, and a massive wave of water swept Miya away.

The upper hand of elemental advantage, the disparity in power.

In every aspect, Luce overwhelmed Miya.
