Chapter 42 - Concurrent chanting!?
As the morning glow dyed the clear sky, the biting cold wind gradually became stronger, and the white mist condensed by breath almost blocked the vision. But looking at the blonde girl in front of her, Riveria felt that no coldness could compare to the chill in her own heart at that moment. Even her offensive magic, Fimbulvetr wasn't this cold!
Heavens! She really just did it subconsciously! There was absolutely no lewd intention! If Ais really saw what happened just now...
"Riveria, I never thought you were that kind of elf. Always acting arrogant and lecturing me... Hehe, how cute!" When Riveria imagined Ais looking down at her and mocking her, a weak version of herself rolled and kicked wildly on a bed in her mind.
No! Riveria suddenly clenched her palms, using the pain of her fingernails digging in to force herself calm.
Besides, that was just my guess. Maybe Ais didn't see anything. Even if she did, she might not understand. Yes! That's it! Maintain the heart of an instructor! Never waver!
"Ais, what are you doing here so early instead of sleeping?"
Looking at the high elf who was looking at her seriously with arms crossed, a huge question mark appeared above Ais's little head. If it weren't for the unusual blush on Riveria's face, she might have suspected the scene just now was an illusion.
"I get up for morning exercise..." Ais waved the wooden sword in her hand, then looked at Noah lying on the ground. "Riveria and Noah, what were you doing?"
"Um, yes…" The tongue that could normally recite magic chants smoothly even when surrounded by monsters seemed knotted. There was a pause of perhaps four or five seconds before Riveria's eyes lit up. "Morning exercises! Yeah! I was giving this guy morning exercises too! He has magic, after all! He needs to train chanting while moving... concurrent chanting!"
Looking at Noah lying on the ground, Ais's big eyes were full of confusion. "Training concurrent chanting... requires beating people unconscious?" This was really an eye opener. However, this is also good.
If someone asks me for help with concurrent chanting training in the future, I'll know what to do.
Looking at Ais, who had obviously absorbed the wrong idea, Riveria bit her lip, feeling a little guilty. But refuting it now would only make things more complicated. Anyway, no one will ask Ais for help with concurrent chanting training... Thinking of this, Riveria suppressed her aching conscience.
At this time, Noah groaned, covered his head, and slowly sat up. "Well, why did I fall asleep?" After meeting Riveria's cold gaze, the confused Noah felt a wave of pain on his head and suddenly woke up.
"Hmm...."
Noah subconsciously glanced at Riveria's palms and her waist hidden under her robe. Although Riveria had a slender figure, her palms were surprisingly small, easily enveloped by Noah's. But what was even more surprising was that getting hit really hurt! After a quick look, Noah looked away guiltily, feeling that if he stared any longer, Riveria would make him explode on the spot.
Then, Noah met the gaze of a pair of round golden eyes. "Eh? Ais? What a coincidence. Why are you here?"
