Chapter 830 - 830 Sparring with Wendy
830 Sparring with Wendy
Wendy. My first crush. My former teacher. But nowadays, we’re treating each other like friends and companion during battle.
To be honest, I still love her. But I don’t think it’s something romantic now that I have girlfriends. It was just admiration for her beauty and intellect. But the young me will still think that she was my first crush.
She is still a precious someone for me. She has helped us in many ways in the fight against the cult. But now, we’re not going out.
I’m sure that I will be happier if she becomes my girlfriend. But I’m also sure that if there’s any beautiful girl is added as a new member in my harem, I will be happier. Which is why I don’t think that she will be happy if I ask her to be my girlfriend.
Though if she’s one of the girl who is actually interested in me according to Victoria’s and Kayla’s observation, then that would be great. But I won’t say or do anything about it until Wendy said it herself.
She’s doing her best as not only our mage in battle, but also as a teacher. She’s still teaching in college. In fact, she has been invited to other universities in the four big countries in this continent to give lectures about wind magic and fire magic.
She can then do two of her jobs. Teaching, and investigating as agents. She brought other agents as her helper. And they will conduct investigation somewhere Wendy can’t go because she gained some kind of fame in education for her interesting way of teaching a bit of magic control for fire element and wind element.
No, she didn’t tell everything she knows about those two elements. Those are still things that we’re afraid will be abused by the cult if they learned how to do it. She just gave lectures on how to do it slightly.

With her busy schedule, I could never imagine that she would be the second one among our group to reach master level.
.....
When I say about our group, it doesn’t include Sungla.s.ses, the monsters, and other master level mages. It’s us who have been so close for a long time already.
It’s me, Angela, Kayla, Sophie, Candy, Wendy, Lina, Kron, Victoria, Sonia, Veronica, Celestine, Jewel, and Shirley. Though Sophie and Lina shouldn’t be included in battle.
And there’s also Hannah. But even after she became advanced level mage, I still think of her as a kid. So I didn’t really consider her as part of the group. Sorry.
There are also other people we know well for a long time already other than the kings. But they rarely join us because they rather focus on their own country. So I just called us the usual group.
Anyway, I never expected that it would be Wendy who will reach master level first. I thought that it would be Shirley. Because even if they’re both busy, I always thought that Shirley has more free time to cultivate. And she’s even the one with Breezy right now. A wind spirit that helped wind mages to improve at a much faster rate. So I really thought that it would be Shirley who called me first saying that she would attempt to breakthrough.
But no. It was Wendy who called me. And the process took just three days for her to reach master level. She’s faster at getting there than Kron.
Just like Kron, she did it on Andro’s back. There were a lot of monsters like usual, but protecting Wendy wasn’t a problem for us. In fact, I only get the monsters to protect her while I came by once in a while.
And so, Wendy reached master level safely. In her wind element. As for fire element, I think it will still be a while until she get there.
After a few days of adjusting with her new power, she called me and challenged me for a fight.
“Sure. I’ll do it.”
That’s my answer after she knocked into my room to challenge me. The tour is over and now we’re waiting for the investigation on the islands to be over. And everyone is trying to improve their strength.
I let Airy stay with Sara because I think she can reach master level sooner than I could. In fact, I still don’t expect that I can reach that level. So I just lent Airy to her. Though I made sure that Sara will buy Airy a lot of desserts. Airy loves sweets after all.
I think I heard a rumor of a sweet loving n.o.ble recently. It could be Sara.
Well, with how much Airy loves sweets, I think it’s normal to think that way. And since she can’t be seen, it would be Sara who ended up being thought as the one who buy them for herself.
She’s a n.o.ble now, right? I guess she will have to get married with someone soon and leave a heir. I hope she won’t get too busy teaching the students so she can find a good partner.
After our preparation, I transferred Wendy to Monsters World for our spar. The fight will be in an open area near the Monsters Village. Where the Summoner and the centaur were dueling before.
It’s a vast area. Though we both can fly, so the battle might take place in the sky more.
What I need to be careful is that she’s also an expert level fire mage. She can use her wind magic to improve the power of her fire and make it bigger. Though for heat, I don’t think I have met anyone with hotter fire than the Blacksmith. He’s great in increasing heat.
“Roy, are you ready?” Wendy asked.
Right now, we’re being surrounded by monsters. Not enemy monsters. But monsters from the village under me. They are interested in watching a fight as usual. Though I don’t know if they can keep up or not.
As for the humans, they are focusing more in improving their strength rather than seeing someone else fighting. So none of them are here watching. I guess they are bored to keep watching someone else fighting. They would rather be in a fight instead.
“I’m ready.”
I have Victorifle in my hand. To show her that I won’t use other weapon. But well, this is just a feint. Victoria can change into any shape after all.
It’s just precaution. Wendy is a wind mage, so she can easily gain some distance as soon as the fight started. I might be able to catch up with her, but it’s best if I can hit her from distance.
And using long distance slash attack is useless. Because it’s obvious where I will attack. Wendy just need to focus on where I’m slashing and dodge it.
Shooting a bullet is faster. So I’ll use a rifle instead.
As soon as the match started, Wendy didn’t choose to gain some distance. But instead, she rushed forward as I aimed the rifle at her.
Well, I shot at her anyway. And she used wind magic to block it and push the bullet away. She knows that if the bullet is too close to her, the sleeping gas inside the bullet will affect her no matter how slightly the effect is.
Then I changed into a spear as she got closer while dodging her attack. Only then she gained some distance.
I see. She’s looking for a certain distance where it’s too far for my melee attack, but too close for a long-range attack.
“That strategy won’t work on me, you know?”
So, instead of using melee weapons, I transformed Victoria and some Blobbies into two guns. Now I’m wielding dual guns. One on my right, and another on my left.
“I can just use a gun as melee weapon as well,” I said.
“...f.u.c.k. I forgot about it,” Wendy said before she flies to the sky.
So I run up after her while shooting at her. She’s so fast. But my reaction speed is faster.
In a short distance, I’m faster than her. But after a few more meters, she gains more distance from me.
“Then I’ll just attack you while moving around!” Wendy said.
Yup. That’s a problem for me. But as long as she doesn’t use powerful magic, I can endure anything thrown at me.
I didn’t wear the magic armor or I will rely on it too much. And this is a spar to improve my skill.
In the future, I’m sure there will be many opponents who will do what Wendy is doing now. If they are any slower than Wendy, then I can catch up to them easily. But some might actually by faster than Wendy.
I can get Ray’s help then. But what if there’s some reason why I can’t summon a familiar with me in future battle? Then Ray won’t be of help.
This is why I’d rather be in a fight than watching it. This way, I can improve.
Now, should I find a way to attack Wendy, or should I waste her mana?
Since this is training, I should find a way to attack Wendy instead of being pa.s.sive.
“Well, the real fight starts from now. Let’s enjoy ourselves!”
