Chapter 1274 Separation

Chapter 1274 Separation

"What the heck? How did this happen? What happened to you?" Aisha shouted while treating Theo with her skill. "How did you get all these injuries?"

"Haha, going too fast." Theo chuckled.

"Going too fast? What? It doesn't make sense." Aisha gritted her teeth. Theo's clothes had been dyed red due to the blood. It was better to buy new clothes instead of washing them. That was how bad it was.

While trying to close his wounds, Aisha inspected his condition. On his right arm alone, she could see thirty small wounds. It was a surprise that Theo wasn't screaming in pain, considering there were at least two hundred wounds all over his body.

Theo chuckled and turned to Agata, "Sorry, but it seems you need to leave this place earlier."

"Yeah, I know. If I want to settle it with him, it's better to do it on my home ground." Agata nodded with a solemn face.

"If you need my help, do call me."

"I should be able to do it if it's only a year." Agata looked at the blood and started to worry. "Are you sure your body is alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Aisha should be able to handle it."

Agata sighed, sat next to him, and started wiping the blood on the parts that had been healed. "At least let me do this before going home."

"Okay…" Theo smiled.

"Are you sure you're not in pain? You haven't let out a sound with all these injuries." Agata looked down, thinking he must have been injured too often that he had gotten used to injuries like this.

However, Theo said, "It's my training. I have trained my pain resistance to the limit. Unless it's a shock or reflex, I won't make any sound."

"Your body…" Agata narrowed her eyes.

"Nope. I just trained my physical pain and mental pain. I didn't do anything with my feelings… After all, the moment I tampered with my heart as well, I would lose my own feeling and emotion. That's something I can't bear to lose." Theo looked at her as if she was the only reason that he wanted to be like a normal human.

Agata was moved. Theo had truly endured so much.

"Anyway, did you learn anything?" Theo asked.

"Yes. I can see where I should develop my dimension." Agata nodded.

"Still, I need to remind you again that…"

"My own path is something that I think about, not what is shown by others. I know. I haven't forgotten your warning." Agata finished his words.

"My own path is something that I think about, not what is shown by others…" Rea muttered the phrase in a low voice while looking down.

Nella scratched the back of her head and said, "Your control of Magic Power has more freedom than my own. I guess I still can't call my own Magic Saint Style a Freestyle."

"Well, that's due to my Perfect Control. I'm sure that you can do much more when you reach Perfect Control."

"I have found the door to the Perfect Control previously. Thanks to you, it's now gone, you know." Nella let out a long sigh.

"A door?" Rea tilted her head in confusion, looking at Nella. It was said that geniuses had their own thoughts, so she realized that Nella truly had a unique way of perceiving Control.

"Ahaha, sorry." Theo chuckled.

"Still, the next time I found that door, the Perfect Control might even be beyond anyone's imagination. It might even surpass yours." Nella smirked.

"I'm looking forward to it. I don't mind if I need to learn from you again." Theo replied, accepting the challenge.

Their conversation reminded them of the Grand Gaia Competition, where Theo copied her Magic Saint Style with his Control and Telekinesis.

"Well, I don't know when I'll meet you again. Just remember my warning…" Nella waved her hand.

"Yeah. Don't worry. I've taken everything into consideration." Theo assured her.

"Okay. Bye bye." Nella left the tent as if she was prepared to leave. Agata wasn't the only one that was affected by the Skyward Mercenary.

As the Griffith Family's vassal, the mercenary group also had learned about their espionage skill, so there was a chance that the visitors this time would find out about her identity. Hence, she took her leave right now.

After wiping most of the blood, Agata also rose from her seat, preparing to leave.

"That's right. I'm leaving him to you." Theo pointed at Walker. "I'll give him the detailed assignments, but he will surely help you."

Agata thought for a moment and nodded. "Well, his personality aside, he doesn't seem to be foolish. With his hatred, he should have gathered a huge amount of information about the Skyward Mercenary. I surely can bring out the Skyward Mercenary this way, making sure at least all the Mythical Rank Experts get wiped out." She turned to Walker. "I'm looking forward to our cooperation."

Walker realized that Agata wasn't a normal sheltered girl. She also had the potential similar to Theo, so it was clear that he could follow her orders.

"I understand. Please take care of me, Mistress." Walker politely bowed to her.

"Then, I'll be leaving first." Agata nodded and hugged Theo for two minutes before finally leaving.

Because he didn't want to be seen by the Skyward Mercenary, Walker also left with Theo's permission. From his expression, Theo knew that Walker was eager to do his part, waiting for the chance to deal with the Skyward Mercenary.

And now, there were only Theo, Rea, and Aisha left in the tent.

Theo looked at Rea, who was still disappointed by her own performance in this fight. "Rea."

"Y-yes?" Rea hurriedly raised her head and smiled so as to not worry him.

"Taking one step at a time is good, and that's what you have done this whole time, right? However, if you continue to walk on this path, I'm afraid I need to tell you that you're not worthy of your current position."

Rea's body shuddered. Theo was truly disappointed. Despite her boasting that she could do everything, she barely did the minimum.

"How did you train this whole time? Swinging more than a thousand times until your hands are rough? There is no point in continuing this practice in my honest opinion."

"But!" Rea rose from her seat, not wanting to stop that one routine she had.

"Of course, I'm not going to stop you. However, I want to tell you that you are not allowed to swing your sword more than a thousand times a single day."

"Huh?"

"Whether you are practicing your swing or any other forms of practice, you need to count every single swing, and you're not allowed to swing more than a thousand times. At the same time, I also want you to do imagination training. The fact that you can deduce my plan from time to time means you have a wild imagination in your head.

"Hence, try to imagine that you're fighting against me. While fighting me, you need to track your swing. Every swing you make beyond one thousand swings will result in a penalty. One swing means one day without training. Two swings mean two days and so on."

"What? What did you say? I can't stop training!" Rea gritted her teeth.

"That's why you shouldn't swing more than a thousand times from today. If you can't follow my rule, I'm going to send you back to your father. Okay?" Theo looked at her with a serious expression.

Rea clenched her fists and lowered her head. She wanted to refuse, but Theo's threat forced her to accept the condition.

"I understand."
