Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Chapter 39 Sarah's Training

?Sarah and Lilith continued arguing until they reached another street. Lilith stopped and pointed at a group of bandits.

"There. Beat them up! ~" Lilith ordered, waving her hand.

"WHY?! They did nothing to us!" Sarah complained.

"They're bandits! They attack people without mercy!" Lilith retorted, annoyed.

"How would you know?!" Sarah argued back. "Have you ever met them?"

Lilith rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Shut up." Then she sighed. "Alright, alright. Let's go home."

Sarah smiled in relief and followed Lilith, just before a group of men appeared from behind.

"Hello there! Ladies, right?" One man greeted them. "You look so pretty today, wanna play with us?~" he licked his lips.

"See?" Lilith turned her gaze toward Sarah. "Just stay calm. Don't move. Keep your mouth shut, if you will not fight."

Sarah gasped. "What?! But... I can't just sit here and let them..."

"Then fight them." Lilith smirked. She felt blessed with luck when the bandits decided to harass them. "If you'll have trouble, I will help out."

The bandits approached carefully, while Sarah stayed frozen. The bandits kept saying flattering things to Sarah, which made her sick to her stomach.

"Fine." Sarah sighed reluctantly. She glared at the bandits and stretched, preparing for a battle. "Come and get me!"

The bandits laughed at her words and grabbed her arms.

"Easy pickings." One of the bandits said as he stepped forward.

"Just relax, it will be fun!" another bandit mocked.

"You'll regret this!" Sarah growled as her body started radiating a pink aura, filling the area with it.

The bandits chuckled. "She thinks that Zorian's blessing is a big deal! ~" They surrounded themselves with dark auras and their bodies became as hard as rock. "Ha! Easy victory for us!"

"Hahaha! You're not so tough!" Sarah sneered, her aura spreading to every corner of the place. "The power of Zorian's blessing depends on the quality of mana!" She punched the guy closest to her, who had a dark brown aura surrounding him. Her fist was as hard as steel and he crumpled to the ground, blood gushing from his nose.

"Tch!" The other bandit tried grabbing Sarah's arm, but she dodged it and grabbed him by his shirt instead. She lifted him off the ground and threw him against a nearby wall. Blood came out of his mouth as he fell.

Another bandit charged at her and kicked her in the gut.

"Guh!" she grunted and fell to the floor, coughing up blood.

"Not bad, little missy!" One bandit laughed. "You're good! Real good! But you're nothing compared to the boss here!" The bandit pointed to another the bandit who was covered with silver aura. "The boss here is a monster! No one can beat him!"

"Why don't you let me try?" Sarah spat blood. She glared at the bandit with a silver aura and stood up. "I'll show you!"

The bandit grinned evilly, "No worries, we won't kill you! We'll just have some fun!" he walked towards Sarah confidently.

When he got closer to Sarah and reached out to grab her neck, Sarah sighed and kicked him into the crotch. "Ahhh!" The bandit gasped and stumbled backwards, clutching his genitals. "Y-You... You... Bitch!"

Meanwhile, Lilith stood there with an expressionless face and clapped to cheer Sarah. "Brutal!" She applauded her. "You did well! Keep up the good work!"

Sarah didn't respond. Instead, she lowered her stance and readied herself again. "Let's finish these idiots!"

"You got this! I believe in you!" Lilith raised thumbs up, then created popcorn with her magic. She tasted one and frowned. "I forgot to add salt..." Lilith muttered under her nose.

Meanwhile, no one paid attention to Lilith's creation magic, as they were all getting ready to fight. The first bandit rushed in and tried punching Sarah in the stomach, but she blocked his punch using her forearm and countered with a back kick that sent him flying. The other bandit tried grabbing Sarah's leg, but she used her elbow to push him away and punched him in the throat. The man gasped for air and dropped like a sack of potatoes.

The leader of the bandits stood up after his crotch stopped hurting and screamed. "I WILL KILL THAT BITCH!" However, he was bombarded with hundreds of lightning speed punches. He dodged the attacks, but he was too slow to react to the lightning punch that hit him in the balls. He fell to the ground in agony. Tears showed up in his face as he asked, "W-Why? W-W-Why?

Lilith chuckled and looked at Sarah. "You did great! Congrats!~"

"I don't feel that way." Sarah groaned and rubbed the sore spot on her shoulders. "My body hurts."

"I know, right?" Lilith laughed. "That's why you need to fight actual battles more!~"

"I wouldn't hurt so much if you just helped me from the very beginning!" Sarah frowned as Lilith walked closer to her and used healing magic to remove her wounds and numbness.

Golden mana started healing Sarah instantly. Her skin regained its original color, her bruises vanished, and her muscle aches eased off.

"Woah! You're a healer?" Sarah asked.

"Of course I am." Lilith said proudly. "I already told you my dad was a healer. Why wouldn't I be one as well?"

"Oh..." Sarah smiled shyly. "Good point..."

*Knock* *Knock*

Drake knocked at Elizabeth's doors. He wore a leather jacket and jeans. He tied his long black hair in a ponytail.

Soon, Elizabeth opened the door to see who it was, but couldn't recognize Drake. It's been six years since she last saw him.

"Uh... H-Hello?" Elizabeth blinked. "Who are you?"

"Hey. It's been a while since we last saw each other." Drake smiled. "I'm Drake."

Elizabeth stared at him blankly for a second before she recognized him. "Drake? D-D-Drake!" She stepped aside and let him inside. "Come on in! Come in!"

"Thank you." Drake smiled.

"Wow, you look... Like a completely different person than the last time I saw you." Elizabeth stared at him carefully. "You're taller, your hair is longer, you look more mature..."

Elizabeth knew Drake before the incident that took her into a mental hospital. She, Dorian, and Drake were actually childhood friends. They separated in their first year of middle school as Dorian became too depressed after realizing that he had no mana. For a while Drake tried to keep a relationship with them, but after a while he gave up as he couldn't handle watching his own best friend hurting himself.

"I came to apologize." Drake bowed his head. "I'm sorry. For what happened? I am sorry for leaving you two when... When... Dorian..." Drake's eyesight turned blurry as he recalled the incident.

"Haha..." Elizabeth laughed softly. She placed her hand on Drake's shoulder to comfort him. "It was hard for you as well... Don't worry about it. Besides... He is much better now."

"Y-Yeah... Wait. You know?" Drake raised his brows in shock, as Thomas never told that she was there to witness Dorian's awakening.

"Babe!~ Drake came to visit us!" Suddenly she yelled out, gazing at the stairs leading to the second floor.

"H-He's here?!" Drake dropped his jaw as he saw a familiar figure walking downstairs.

"It's been a while. Drake!" Dorian smirked, revealing his shark light teeth. "It's so good to see you!~" black mana filled the room, making Drake feel sick.

Drake gazed at Elizabeth, who couldn't see or feel the mana and continued smiling as if nothing happened.
