The next day when I woke up in one of the rooms in the base, with Tanya sleeping on my side like we used to in an orphanage, in those days for me she was the sole reason I haven't broken down because I wanted to get her out of there. That was my motivation behind all the hard work I did over the years not even taking a break for the day, and I am sure Tanya was doing the same,

I looked at her and she was sleeping so peacefully I have never seen her sleeping so defenseless before she would wake up at the smallest of sound even the ruffle of bed sheets were enough to wake her up.

While I was thinking about the past, I was also full of hopes for a great future.

I stood up from bed, and went downstairs Miss Elena was also there She was reading A book I looked at it closely, it was titled 'Mighty flames ',

Most likely a magic book regarding magic, she seems to have noticed my stare.

"Oh! Mavis your awake! I will take you somewhere fun!"

She said, she stood up and hurriedly began to push on my back urging me to follow her I nodded and followed her after following the corridor of the hall we took a left turn and there for the first time in my life I saw a bath, it was quite luxurious to bath like that and normal commoners could never afford it, it was something only nobles could do was all I thought from the time I knew about it from book.

"This is a bath, we specially have it made, so we can keep ourselves clean, let me tell you it feels amazing to immerse yourself in warm water "

She said with an excited look.

"We just have to pour water and rune in that bath tub will heat it to appropriate temperature."

Miss Elena explained, bath tub in front of me was bigger than the bed I slept on today. I shook my head to not fall to temptations, I already owe Mr. Greg 40 gold coins which will take me a long time to pay back, he has already helped me so much I can't really hope for anything more.

"Miss Elena these type of luxurious thing I can't do that! I already owe Mr. Greg 40 gold coins I can't accept anything like that."

I said and refused firmly.

"Don't be so stiff Mavis, you can call me Elena and your Greg's apprentice so you don't have to feel reserved he is one who approached you with this offer isnt it, so he is expected to give you comfortable environment to train and study hard!"

Miss Elena said with gentle tone, but I couldn't agree with it.

"Because of how much he has already done for me I don't want trouble him with more."

I said resolutely Miss Elena came near me and hugged me tightly.

"Don't worry your not expected to pay us back, your child and children should be treasured , and your only duty for next 4 years is going to study hard and train hard, trouble of money and leaving leave it to adults."

She said while patting me, I haven't felt this calm and happy in my life I felt safe, I was wondering if people like this really will take me to dangerous place.

"I see, thank you then."

I said meekly some tears were still flowing through my eyes.

"Yeah it's time for bath, strip now I will wash your back."

After saying that Miss Elena chantlessly summoned large amounts of water in the bath tub and passed some of her magic power in shower by side, we both stripped I was in daze for some time her hair and skin were too beautiful,after standing in shower for some time in daze.

"Come here sit on this stool."

Miss Elena invited me I nodded meekly and sat on small stool facing Miss Elena.

"This is soap, you can use it to rub on your whole body, it will get rid of all gunk and dirt and body odour to."

She said handing me soap I rubbed it on my hands and I was surprised at how much foam was formed, I rubbed it everywhere on my body except my back. After seeing how I was done Miss Elena signaled me to turn around.

She began to help with washing my back after a while she was done washing my back.

"Will you help me wash my back?"

Miss Elena asked about something that I was going to ask, I nodded and stood up and went behind her back, her back had smooth skin like Tanya after but it had lean muscles all over her body, after washing her back we went in bath tub together after entering into hot water I couldn't help but sigh as it felt amazing

to be in warm water.

"It feels amazing right, those brutes Just don't understand it."

Elena said with look of satisfaction on her face, she casually dissed men in her party, I couldn't help but laugh at it.

"Yeah your right"

I said with laugh, it was my first genuine laughter after leaving orphanage.

"You finally smiled, well I hope we can be fast friends."

She said with sincere tone. I was taken aback by it , and was feeling touched.

"Yeah, I hope I can meet your expectations in time."

I also said with emotions and Resolved myself to train hard to meet Mr. Greg expectations.

"You don't have to feel indepted to us, Just work hard, becoming strong as A-ranker is almost impossible in just 4 years, you should focus on training though."

She said in gentle tone, I know she was saying that so I don't get disappointed after failing something like that but I was sure I could reach their level of strength before they have expected ,

Because of my talent ones I reach power equal to B-ranker I will tell them about my talent, I decided and renewed my determination going forward .
