Capítulo 41: Valery
It was at this moment the students on the other side of the hallway started moving to clear a path.
"I-It's Witch Valery! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Leo turned around after hearing this name, and sure enough, he could see Valery approaching his direction with a group of people behind her.
"Holy shit! They're all from the elite class!" The students immediately recognized their elegant uniforms that looked infinitely more graceful than the ones worn by ordinary students.
Valery stopped a few meters away from me.
"Oswald… Is that really you?" Valery's gentle voice resounded again, causing everyone to look at her.
"I'm sorry, but do I know you?" I pretended to not recognize her.
A pained expression appeared on Valery's face after hearing my words.
"Oswald, you bastard!"
One of the people standing behind Valery suddenly stepped forward.
'John?' Leo also recognized this person.
"John! Stop it!" Valery suddenly shouted at him.
"Che."
John sneered coldly before returning to Valery's side.
"I'm sorry about that just now. We're not here to fight you. Do you really not remember anything? About me?" Valery asked him with a profound frown on her face.
"The only thing I remember is my name and that I used to be a student here. That's all. I'm sorry, but I am very busy right now, and I have someone waiting for me. If you wish to talk, find me another time."
And without saying another word, I turned around and started walking away.
Once Leo was no longer in the scene, Valery's expression turned cold, almost expressionless, her thoughts unknown.
"Valery, are you okay?" John asked her.
"I'm fine. I might need some more time to get over him. I left Leo for Oswald and then I left Oswald for you. I am starting to feel guilty after seeing both of them alive again."
Hearing her words, John couldn't help but put a worried look on his face.
After leaving Valery, Leo and I went straight to the infirmary, where Miss Camille was waiting.
"You're late. Class ended fifteen minutes ago. I thought I told you to come straight here immediately after class. Where the hell have you been?" Miss Camille welcomed us with a bad mood.
"Sorry, but some people blocked my path, preventing me from leaving. I was even challenged to a fight by Kayn." Leo sighed.
"Kayn? I guess he's still mad about what you did to him."
"What did I do to him?" Leo asked with a curious face.
"You thrashed him in front of the whole school, and he was bedridden for an entire week from the injuries."
"Hahaha! Serves him right!" Leo laughed out loud.
Then he remembered that he'd agreed to fight Kayn.
"I wonder if I'll be able to do that in a month… I agreed to fight him, after all." Leo sighed.
"You what? I told you to stay lowkey!" Miss Camille frowned upon learning about his fight with Kayn.
"He was threatening to beat me up in front of the students! And I am no pushover! Don't worry, I have a whole month to prepare! Even Oswald defeated him after losing his memories, I am sure I would be able to do it!!" Leo said with determination in his eyes.
"Kayn is ranked top 200 in the whole academy, and there are over 10,000 magic students in this academy. Even if Oswald was able to defeat him, it might be because of his innate talent. You won't defeat him even if you're given a whole year." Miss Camille said in a nonchalant voice.
"N-No way…" Leo's face immediately paled.
Miss Camille shook her head and sighed, "That is only if you're truly an ordinary person. Follow me."
"Where are we going?"
"To train, of course."
"Already?!"
"Do you want to win against Kayn or not? I couldn't care less if you're killed by him, by the way." Miss Camille narrowed her eyes at him.
Leo swallowed nervously.
"L-Let's train…" He said in a dejected voice the next moment.
After leaving the infirmary, we followed Miss Camille outside. They walked for about ten minutes until they arrived at a large, round building.
"This is the training center. This is where students can go to train their magic and other stuff." Miss Camille introduced the place to him.
In Leo's old world, this training center would be a gymnasium.
They entered the building shortly after.
Once inside, Miss Camille brought us to a private room. The room's interior was made of steel, and it was the size of a classroom.
"What kind of training will I be doing?" Leo asked.
"What else? In order to keep up your appearances, you will need to learn how to use the sword, just like the old Leo." Miss Camille said as she locked the door to the room.
"What about me?" I asked.
"You... How about you just train you body?" Miss Camille responded with a troubled expression.
Leo looked around the spacious but empty room.
"I don't see any swords around here."
"Here."
Leo turned around to look at Miss Camille after hearing her voice, and to his surprise, she was suddenly holding a sword.
"What the? Where did you get that from?" He asked.
Miss Camille flipped her palms and spoke, "Spatial magic."
I smirked at seeing the spatial magic.
<Copied magic affinity : space affinity>
<Space affinity upgraded to EX+ rank>
Now I can even use space magic. I must really learn some magic spells.
Leo watched as Miss Camille put the sword into the small hole that had suddenly appeared on top of her palm, almost as though she'd split the space apart.
The sword disappeared into the hole without any effort.
"With this spatial magic, I can cut open space and store inanimate objects into another dimension that can only be accessed by me." Miss Camille explained as she took the sword back out of the hole.
"Holy shit, that's freaking amazing!" Leo's eyes flickered with excitement.
What he'd witnessed just now looked like it belonged to a fantasy novel or movie!
"Instead of learning swordsmanship, how about I learn magic?! Kayn is a magician, right? It would only make sense if I fought him with magic, not a sword!" Leo suddenly suggested.
Miss Camille frowned and said, "Did you already forget? Leo cannot use magic! If you suddenly use magic, everyone will become suspicious of your identity. And we don't even know if you can use magic or not."
Leo sighed, "I remember just fine. I just really want to try using magic, that's all."
"If you can reach a certain level of swordsmanship in the right time, I will teach you how to use magic." Miss Camille suddenly said.
Of course, her true purpose was to motivate Leo to learn swordsmanship.
"It's a promise! How good do I have to get, and how long do I have?!" Leo immediately asked.
"There's no need for you to know that. I will let you know when you reach that goal… if you even reach it at all."
"Deal!"
Miss Camille handed him the steel sword and spoke, "We'll start with the basics. Swing the sword straight in front of you a few times."
Leo grabbed the sword and started to swing it as guided by Miss Camille.
In just a glance, I was able to see many mistakes in Leo's swings but didn't stop him knowing that this was his first time even touching a sword.
Miss Camille also handed me a sword. The sword was about two kg.
With my infinite weapon affinity, I started to swing the sword. There were a few mistakes in the first two swings but I quickly corrected them.
After a few minutes, Miss Camille showed the real way to swing a sword. Her way was similar to me but she still had room for improvement but that wasn't necessary because she is a healer not a swordswoman.
After resting for a while, Leo started to repeat Miss Camille's movements but still made many mistakes.
"Leo, you would be able to get it soon if you keep practicing." Miss Camille complimented.
"-and for you, Oswald, follow me." She walked towards a gate.
I followed her inside the room while poor Leo continued to swing his sword.
