Chapter 4: Training!

  *Celia’s POV*

  Despite the whole, me causing a war thing, it seemed like nothing would happen for a det while. We eveo our csses as if nothing was wrong.

  There were just a few unimportant csses this m, such as history. With those csses finished, we all headed to where Solia would be teag us.

  Rather than a field within the academy, or a random building, we had to fly out to Solia’s css. As she had told us this m, that she would only teach us where no one could watch. Whided up being a battle-torn field, miles away from the academy.

  Solia: “Oh? All four of you made it here?” She asked with a smile.

  Ria: “That we did. Now then, Lady Solia? I do not think that it would be necessary to train me.” She said with a serious tone.

  Solia: “You’re just here for show. I might be old, but you’re a pared to me. There is quite literally, nothing that I could teach you.” She said with a shrug.

  Nia: “What about me?” She asked with a curious tone.

  Solia: “You’re pretty old as well, so there isn’t much that I teach you. Though, I help you train to get stronger.” She answered.

  Celia: “So wait, who will be the ohat you will mainly teach?” I ask with a head tilt.

  Solia: “That would be you, Celia. And the other person would be Lia.” She replied.

  Lia: “I uand you teag me, but Celia is plenty skilled and strong as it is.” She said with a raised eyebrow.

  Solia: “Strong and skilled in theory. But like others before her, she is probably using her system as a handicap.” She expined.

  Lia: “…”

  Celia: “…”

  When the hell did she figure that out!? Did my mom, Yona, rat me out to her?… I mean, I think that she and Solia are good friends, from just the first time that I met her…

  Solia: “I figured that you would have a System, and Yona firmed that for me. Do not worry about if I am trustworthy.” She said with a ugh.

  Celia: “ I really trust you?” I ask with an uone.

  Solia: “ a daughter not trust her mother?” She replied with a head tilt.

  What!? Oh God… she isn’t joking… What does that even mean? Looking around at everyone else, of course, the two people who see the future, are just ughing, while me, and the other non-future peekers, are fused to all hell…

  Solia: “Oh? Did Yona not tell you? How funny. We’ve been together for many years, but we haven’t officially married, and we won’t until she gives up the throo you.” She expined with a giggle.

  Celia: “You’re Yona’s wife? But she never mentiohat…” I say with spiral eyes.

  Solia: “That girl likes her tricks, so she probably pnned for this to happen. You know, I’ve always joked with her that I wanted kids. I hought that she would take me seriously.” She said with a hearty ugh.

  Yeah… Yona would do something like that… Ba topic, what did she mean about me using my System as a handicap? I was curious, so I asked her just that.

  Solia: “I’ve trained someoh a System before, and ohey turned off their skills, they became pletely useless.” She replied with a sigh.

  Celia: “Ruina, I turn off my Skills?” I ask in my head.

  Ruina: “Yeah, but it isn’t reended.” She answered.

  Celia: “How do I turn them off?” I ask.

  Ruina: “Just think about switg them off, sorta like a light switch.” She replied.

  I mean, I feel like I could turn them off now, but I didn’t really feel any different at all…

  Solia: “Your helper taught you how to turn them off, right? Then we shall begiraining.” She said with aed tone.

  All of a sudden, the lit into three different versions of herself. That’s kinda cool… I wonder if I will learn how to do that? Just something to think about iure, I guess.

  Solia had us all, besides Ria, split up further away from each other. Now it was just me and her in this empty field.

  Celia: “What happeo the System user that you mentioned?” I ask with a curious tone.

  Solia: “I killed him.” She replied with a nont tone.

  Celia: “…Why?” I ask with a nervous tone.

  Solia: “He stated that my method of training was cruel, so he gave up training with me.” She answered.

  Celia: “So you killed him just for that!?” I say with a shocked tone.

  Solia: “No. The dumbass oddly wanted revenge on me, so he plotted my death, and poisoned me. Why he even thought that would work, I have no idea.” She replied with a shrug.

  Celia: “…”

  Solia had a sword appear from within the air, and I took my sword out of my pouch. To this day, I still haven’t repced my o…

  As the fight started, I realized how outcssed that I was by Solia. As she basically vanished before my eyes. Though, I was still able to block her attack when she appeared again.

  Oddly, I think that she was going easy on me, as it wasn’t a pletely one-sided fight. We traded blows, not injuring each other, but with our bdes. This went on for thirty minutes, before she called for the fight to stop.

  Solia: “Celia, didn’t you turn off your skills?” She asked with a serious tone.

  Celia: “I did?” I say with a head tilt.

  Solia: “Truly?” She said with a shocked tone, before doing something weird…

  The woman then proceeded to ugh for ten miraight… What the hell did I even do to get this woman to ugh this much? Do I just have that effe women?…

  Ruina: “Celia… Holyshit!” She yelled.

  Celia: “What!?” I yell ba my head.

  Ruina: “Some of your Skills are bugged, and don’t give you any be past level one!” She excimed.

  Celia: “Meaning?” I ask with a fused tone.

  Ruina: “Your Swordsmanship Skill, and other bat Skills, despite them being maxed, they all act as if they’re level one…” She expined.

  Celia: “…”

  So I have been pying on hard mode this eime!? Why is my System so fug buggy? Am I just unlucky, or something?

  Ruina: “Your System seems to be more broken than I inally thought, this will take some time to fix…” She said with a grim tone.

  Celia: “Take your time. Apparently, I cope with it being broken.” I say with a sigh.

  Ruina assured me that she will have it fixed within a month, but I still asked her to take it easy. I don’t wao stress herself out a bunch, after all.

  Solia: “Sorry, sorry, Celia. I just realized that you were tricked.” She said with a giggle.

  Celia: “I wasn’t tricked, it’s just that my System is slightly broken, it seems.” I say with anh.

  Solia: “Hm? So you weren’t tricked, that’s good. Now, with how petent you currently are, we step up our training.” She said with aed expression and tone.

  *Many Hours Later.*

  Training with Solia was very good. Eveer than that one good teacher back at the other academy. Thinking of her, she should be in this one now. It’s a shame that I ’t get her to teach me anymore, but Solia is a good rept for her teag.

  On the way back to our dorm, I had a realization… I recalled a small bit of what happened in my nightmare! I told the girls to go oo the estate, as I had something that I o do.

  Oddly, or rather, it was because Nia vihem, they let me go. In my nightmare, I recall a mirror, in a unfinished and abandoned part of this academy.

  With me flying around, it still took me a det while to find the building that I was looking for. It seemed that instead of building on top of the old academy, they just moved locations, and abahe old one.

  It was still i shape, even if it was uhough, my destination, was a very old wing of this pce. And it looked super rotted…

  Inside, I found furniture draped in long white sheets. After searg for a bit, I found the mirror that I saw in my nightmare. Taking off the sheet, I saw myself in the refle of the oddly mirror.

  I looked at my refle for a while, until the me reflected in the mirror smirked. She, or rather, the mirror me, somehow moved on her own, she then thrust her hand out of the mirror, and dragged me into it…
