Chapter 97: She's Fun At Least

"So what are you going to study at the Academy, Miss Aster?" Lisa asked while we were making our way towards the forest.

"Oh, I'm learning magic, survival and combat skills."

"Ah! I should have known since you're a Mercenary! What magic do you specialise in? I know a bit of Pyromancy myself! Since, you know, I'm an alchemist and I need to burn things quite a lot."

I'm not sure if this girl is just too trusting or it's because she is finding solidarity with me because I look like a girl too?

Nevertheless, I decided I would at least match her enthusiasm since she actually seems like a fun person.

"Oh! I know Pyromancy, Hydromancy, Geomancy and Aeromancy."

She stopped in her tracks and spun back to face me with wide eyes, "Woaaaah! Four elements?! I'm really sorry but are you actually really experienced, Miss Aster?"

I recognised that she wanted to ask my age but had the tact to not ask it directly.
