Chapter 1280: What An Incredible Teacher!
And Alice wouldn\'t let go of the opportunity to talk about it as well, shoving on my face that I was wrong this entire time. I do love her as my friend and sister, but she gets a bit annoying sometimes.
"Felicia had reached such a high level of comprehension over Alchemy that, although her Temperature Magic, a derivation of Fire and Ice Magic is very strong, it seems she could be called the Witch of Alchemy instead," Alice giggled. "Don\'t look down on her teachings, as annoying as they might be..."
"Yes, yes, I get it... I understand, miss Alice," I nodded, sighing.
"Hahah, I might have gone a bit overboard there, my bad," Alice giggled. "But I just was as fascinated as you were, Sylphy!"
"Still, I believe that perhaps, Felicia could have chosen a much intuitive and better... way of teaching," Yggdra said. "As much as I want to see her genius mind at work here, I still believe her lazy attitude is what made her create such a task to cultivate Alchemy Runes."
Yggdra was totally right! She did it because she was lazy anyways! Although it helps, there was definitely a more fun way of doing it.
"Yep, yep, I agree completely with her statement," I nodded. "Alice let\'s just accept it; Felicia is lazy. I bet she thought about this before even thinking about the cultivation itself."
"Lazy! Lazy master!" giggled Naturia.
Seeing Naturia, Yggdra, and me agree together, Alice was utterly defeated, and her defensive attitude towards Felicia had to be dropped immediately.
"Okay, okay, I get it, I admit that I might\'ve gotten a bit defensive there... I was just trying to make you appreciate the hero a bit more, Sylphy," Alice shrugged. "But yes, she\'s very lazy. She\'s quite different than the other heroes we\'ve seen, your parents included."
"Well... I guess she\'s not too lazy either. Like, she definitely has her ups and downs, but shows clear talent and ability, and does things with it..." I said. "She\'s lazy yet talented."
"A certainly bizarre balance, if I had ever seen one like that," Yggdra giggled.
"A-Anyways, enough babbling about whatever nonsense we\'ve been talking about. I have to tell this to the girls, so they regain some of their energy! They always look so gloomy, I swear this training is going to kill whatever little energy or joy they had left behind," I nodded. "Though, now that I think about it, I WISH Alice could have notified me through the system..."
"It was something the System couldn\'t detect so quickly, I\'m sorry..." she apologized. "I\'ll try to notify it now more frequently, alright? Don\'t get angry with me..." Alice sighed.
"Alright, thanks a lot for that!" I nodded. "And I\'m not angry, don\'t worry. Why would I be angry at you, silly goober? You\'re my sister," I kissed her forehead.
"Sylphy..." Alice smiled a bit more. "I love you so much Sylphy, thank you for being so nice! You\'re so forgiving too!" she hugged my head and kissed my forehead back.
"Ahahah, okay, okay, you\'ve been pretty emotional lately..." I commented.
"Yes, it might have to do with my development," she said. "You see, the more my internal body has been healed, repaired, or accustomed itself to the glitches, the more I could develop mentally as well. I am a bit like you, my mentality also grows with each year. Back then at the beginning, my mentality was probably that of a ten-year-old girl."
"Ooh, I had no idea, I thought you were already adult minded from the get-go..." I said.
"Not exactly! Well, I had my duties, so I acted with disciple, or I tried..." she sighed. "We\'ve both grown up more than I imagined..."
"Yeah, it\'s been a journey together I guess, and there\'s still a lot more to do left... a whole life ahead. Even longer for my kind..." I said.
"Don\'t talk like that or you\'re going to make me feel sad..." Alice sighed. "Anyways, don\'t you feel a bit hungry?"
"I do, I wonder when\'s-"
"Sylphy! Lunch time!"
Dad called, just in time! I was feeling hungry, and it was already like, over 2 PM, so it was definitely time to have a bite. I don\'t know if Felicia will come to eat with us, she would oftentimes just stay in her room.
"Okay!"
I ran downstairs with my empty stomach rumbling, quickly sitting down close to the table, dad was already serving what he prepared. A big stew with lesser drake meat he had hunted yesterday, it was delicious and fatty when he grilled it for dinner.
But now, he prepared it as a stew, with all the delicious flavor transferred to the soup, big potatoes, carrots, some garlic, onions, and other veggies added, it smelled really good.
"How did it go? Are you making progress?" he wondered.
"Yeah, halfway done already!" I said. "Also I noticed something pretty amazing. I\'ll talk about it once the girls get here."
"Oh? You sure look more energetic than before!" he laughed, kissing my forehead. "Good for you my princess, there you go."
He gave me a big serving of stew and placed two freshly baked pieces of bread with melted cheese on top, also fruit juice.
"Looks good! Thank you dad!"
I quickly took the piece of bread and dipped it on the stew until it had completely absorbed the flavors and took a big bite.
The cheese with the stew\'s soup, combined with all the flavors from the meat and veggies was godly, and it just hit right when I was so hungry.
Food just tastes so delicious when you\'re hungry for hours...n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"We\'re back," Celeste groaned, yawning.
"Hahh... I\'m so tired, and bored," Celica said.
Both walked upstairs to greet us, sitting around the table.
"Good work girls, here\'s your meal. After you\'re done eating, just take a break, no need to go back to it right away," my dad tried to tell them.
"Ehhh..." Celeste shrugged.
"Meh..." Celica sighed.
They weren\'t really energetic at all.
Master Felicia, what a way to take away all our motivation...
