Chapter 135: Chapter 111: Training Ellaine.

“Good morning, Ellaine.”

“Mhm … Bwuh! Whe-where am…I? Lady Hestia?”

“You know … Considering how you bragged about being able to stay up the whole night, I actually thought you could do it with that determination I saw in your eyes. I even used my fulinoe leaves to help reduce your arcane corruption so we could continue training!” I expressed my exasperation at the young noblewoman who was looking up from my lap, her face still appearing blue-ish. “As a mage, you should understand where your limits are! You have [Arcane Corruption Resistance Lv. 4], in other words, you should understand when your body cannot handle it anymore. Geez, Ellaine, you made me worry!”

“‘Ellaine?’ So casual, Lady-” She was about to speak but I interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

Irritated at her obstinate persistence to adhere to formality, despite being among us girls, I lightly tapped her forehead. “That’s not the point, dummy! Barathan, Manuela, Svena, your knights, and don’t get me started on Josine! She almost had a heart attack!”

Letting out an exasperated sigh, I looked up as I ignored Ellaine’s painful yelp. I observed the room we were in—a magical training room located under House Helvas’s mansion designed as a safe space for nobles to train and experiment to prevent collateral damage. Before I came in here to train Ellaine, it was white and spotless; now it was riddled with burn marks and rocks.

To work as a magical training room, there were countless safety measures in place in case of an emergency. A ventilation system made with wind runes, a sprinkler system, and sturdy walls made out of fairnite and eoriant to absorb mana-based attacks. According to Ellaine, with fairnite’s high mana insulation and eoriant’s ability to absorb and store mana, it made it hard for spells to escape outside this room.

As this was another fantasy metal, I was curious and asked Ellaine what eoriant actually was, and apparently it was an alloy made with steel and euorinium. If I wanted more info on it, it was better to read a book on it or ask a blacksmith. Ellaine was educated but she didn’t have all the answers on hand.

On the other hand, I had heard about fairnite before. By itself, it was a beloved stone among nobles due to its marble like texture and ability to insulate against mana attacks. You could see them used on walls, shields, and even armor, albeit, they were quite expensive.

In any case, two days ago, upon her request, I had begun training Ellaine on magic and combat, using the knowledge I learned from Master Kush to help her. As a noble, she already had a good foundation on magic, like the four processes of casting and had already learned two of the four advanced casting techniques. Unlike me, who still couldn’t get [Multi-Cast] no matter how much I tried, she’d learned it.
