Chapter 534: Chapter 534
Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
"Move your feet. Stay on the move." I instructed as Typhon ran. "Your opponent is stronger than you. The goal is to either figure out how to escape or find a weakness you can exploit."
Breeze rained down wind blades that cut through the ground mercilessly. Naturally, there was a point to this exercise. Typhon needed to struggle. He was quick to enter the fray in battles. Part of me believes its instinct for him. That was fine. Ty had a brave soul and courage to spare, but I needed to make sure it didn't get him killed.
That being said, he needed experience like I mentioned a few weeks ago. Alwin, Greigh, and Ziah had returned to work. Greigh and Ziah at my instruction to keep me informed about the Priestesses along with to provide me with information about The Slums. I still needed to keep my ear to the ground. Cassidy, and Austin had returned home as well. However, they would usually visit everyday or every other day. They usually come over for either breakfast or dinner. Rennal left for obvious reasons, and I only see her when at the Reed household.
"Are you sure about this?" Alwin inquired as he watched beside Marina and me. "Doesn't this seem a little extreme?"
General Alwin Farro also visited daily, or every other day. Was it annoying? Yes. However, given his mother and sister had not left my home, he had every reason to visit. Why Aydalia and Ayda stayed was beyond me. If I had to guess, it was because Aydalia felt some manner of debt towards me, and Ayda believed in her mother. Aydalia had become some manner of secretary and her hair had grown out quite a bit at this point. It was nice to see for her recovery.
"It's certainly more extreme than my training." Lucia pointed out.
She was the other reason I think they stayed. After finding out about Arceana trying to sell Lucia to me, the family seemed to agree with keeping her out of the Helmsforth Temple. Especially given the pink haired Priestess's condition with her memories and mind being compromised. Naturally, Lucia was more than welcome to stay.
"Arthur has been training you as well?" Elincia asked from beside Lucia, and my nose wrinkled at that.
"No, I'm not." I immediately said. "She's been asking me questions. I've been answering. I'm not going to have her run around like him. That's just dangerous." A burst of wind made me hair blow about crazily as Typhon screamed in terror. "What do you take me for?" I asked, genuinely insulted.
The three others looked at me in disbelief as Typhon screamed in the background. "Ignoring the obvious," Lucia began as she turned back to Ty's training to watch. "Arthur has been very restrained when it comes to my training."
"Not training." I told her again.
Lucia ignored me as she continued. "My training will likely increase as time goes on."
Rolling my eyes at that, Alwin responded. "I can teach you if you really want to learn. Ayda is also here. He knowledge of spells is second only to the Priestesses." The General told her. "She literally bought a building to store her magic books, and it ended up into a library."
"The General's words have merit. However, I would also be willing to assist you should you ask for it. Cassidy and Ayda have refused to come back to The Temple for training for the moment. Kine is... Well, the only one left is Floyd, and my sister mostly takes care of him."
I scoffed at that. "That's concerning."
Elincia glared at me slightly for that. "We are excellent teachers, Arthur. My sister is just trying her best to help him."
"Uh huh." I replied dryly, as I clearly didn't believe her words. "Just keep Arceana outta my hair, and Floyd outta my house." Typhon jumped away as Breeze moved in closer. "Will you hit him already!?" I demanded from the wind wolf before turning back to the others. "Anyway, my 'teaching' is more visualization than anything." All three of them were looking at me with rather distressed expressions. "What?"
The Priestess started rubbing her temples as Lucia spoke. "Maybe in the future, but Arthur has been a huge help with his guidance. I think you could learn quite a bit from him, Alwin."
My head whipped to the Elven General. "Oh, I'd be more than willing to teach Alwin a thing or two." Elincia snorted at that as I turned to Marina. "Go help your brother hit Ty. I can't tell if he's trying to be considerate or not. If he is, you're up."
Marina turned to me at that. "Should we really interfere? Ty seems to be holding his own quite well. I don't think Breeze is holding back all that much. He may only be evading, but it is definitely encouraging to see him-" At my look, she sighed. "Very well."
"Try to drown him if you need to."
"Of course." Marina replied sarcastically as she floated off toward the unsuspecting Ty.
After a moment or two, Marina grabbed some water from nearby, and started mercilessly attacking. "Remember, you never know when you might be blindsided! Always stay aware that your enemy might have allies lying in wait!" I called out to Ty as he was blindsided by one of his enemies lying in wait as a chunk of ice tore through his forearm. "Even when wounded, you still need to think fast on how to proceed!" I then mumbled about the blood. "Somone's gonna need to clean that up." I commented in a normal voice before looking at the others. "What?"
Elincia was glaring at me, threateningly. "Arthur..." She said in a warning tone.
I waved a dismissive hand. "He'll be fine. Marina can heal him with the help of any of the Elves here." Watching Typhon quickly lose control of the situation, I just stood there. "What were we talking about?"
"Shouldn't they stop?" Alwin inquired.
"That's right! You're training!" I said as I turned to Alwin. "We'll put you through some drills when you drop by to see Lucia."
"So," Lucia spoke up slowly. "Everyday?"
"Works for me!" Was my happy reply.
