After the bath we came out I returned to my room to wake up Tanya after waking up I led her downstairs where Miss Elena continued her reading of the book after seeing Tanya she took her to Bath and returned after explaining to her working after bath Tanya came out."That felt amazing."She said with a smile of satisfaction on her face, "Yeah, but men just don't appreciate the bath, I tell you when I asked about installing it in our base they said it was a useless expense."Elena said with so indignation, I could understand her after trying to live life as dirty as possible in orphanage to protect myself I came to enjoying remaining hygienic since I started my life as Adventurer's."I agree I would love to take bath after day of hard work."I said without thinking much about it, Elena tilted her head in confusion."What do you mean? You will take bath everyday, we girls are sticking together, I always felt left out in party as everyone is men and they just don't understand women's heart."She said with some emotions."Now you guys have joined the group I could finally have someone to share all my thoughts with."She said in excited tone, "Yeah we will stick together no matter what."Tanya with small emotional smile."Now that's out of way Mavis let me see how strong you are "She said in excited tone, I could feel her intensity."I was really curious, Greg didn't even want to allow me saying I was young and inexperienced when I joined them 4 years ago and he is confident in you reaching our level, that doesn't seem like something he would say"She said with a smirk on her face,"Let's go! backyard has training grounds we we spar their."Saying that she grabbed my hand and dragged me with her to backyard."So now that we are here we will start with some light sparing, you attack with everything you got while I will only defend."She said in confident tone, I was bit ticked of by her proclamation, though I know it made sense I still found it little unpleasant."Then defend if you can."I shouted trying to motivate myself.I emitted mana and packed as much mana in one spell as possible.""After level up yesterday I felt I could push, Fire magic that far enough to creat second hottest fire in the world,Her eyes widened and she unsheathed her twin blades to my surprise she just seated my flame arrow though it left dent in ground far away from her."That attact has some serious fire power, white flames huh, Power stuff."She said as her smile widened, I was bit shaken how easily she dealt with my most powerful attack, but I expected that, I decided to try to catch her of guard using I dashed towards her in my top speed her eye brows perked at surprising speed from someone who is seemingly level 12 but she didn't comment I tried to do feint slash from side but was truly aiming to kick her knee as aspected she easily dealt and parried both attacks I have already emitted enough mana in 100 m surrounding myself so I manipulated wind behind her and chanted in slow voice.""The spell was pitifully slow and it didn't even reach her, I couldn't help but grown in frustration."That was some amazing attack, I think you only lack practice to succeed in landing that attack, being magic swordman is hard we have to think simultaneously both magic and sword attacks so you can't expect to succeed in something like that on first try."Elena said in gentle tone trying to console me, Tanya was excited all the way though cheering for both of us. I decided to pour everything in an this attack I , I ones again used mana control""I chanted ones more, trying to open hole in ground just below Elena but to my surprise my spell failed, seeing surprised expression on my face, smirk appeared on Elena's face."All living beings unconsciously which will disrupt the spell if it is too close to their body, you don't even know that much!"She gloated with smirk on her face, she was really good at getting under my skin. After sighing I once, again dashed towards her but this time I intended to fight her with only a sword as she will just swat my spell,So I dashed towards her once more and started with flurry of slashes, I tried to maintain speed and she just parried my blade with her blade, and she looked like she was doing that easier then I would've liked.I Jumped and propelled myself with spell I made recently. I called it""I use wind to propell myself faster the I could do this time I threw my sword and with help of wind rush spell I followed behind the sword, she parried sword but I tackeled her but to my surprise she stopped my Advance with other arm she stopped by grabbing my head.Shockwave from my speed blew wind in around me, I stood up and sighed ."Last attack was stupid move, you threw away your safety and that attack was just suicide attack if done in front of someone who is more powerful than you."Elena explained in gentle tone."I see, it seems I have lot to learn."I commented, though I had lot of pride after defeating monsters almost twice my level."I will train you in swordsmanship, I think your fire magic is also pretty good so I could give you pointer if you ask me."She said with lot of excitement, I was bit down at how easily I lost in front of Tanya but I shook my head to shake of my disappointement."Yes thank you for guidance."I said with bow out of habit, "So that's your habit, you shouldn't bow to others that easily. Be strong, that's only way to stay happy in this world."She said with bit of admonishing tone, I nodded as I agreed with her, after the that she mentioned my mistakes and how I could improve as magic swordman it was very enlightening experience.Ding*Swordmanship lv 4->lv5Mana blade lv4->5By the end of day I have improved at swordsmanship alot, today Mr. Greg was busy with quest so he didn't come here though other of party arrived and Caspian also gave me lot of pointers on how to use blades effectively against other humans and I enjoyed my first day here very much they also started training Tanya after they heard about our research in battle tactics skills so she also didn't feel left out.We had hearty dinner and slept in same room as previous night, it seems miss Elena was only one who lived here permanently.
