Clovist Training [3] [EXTRA]
****
(BONUS CHAPTER FOR 100 PS THIS WEEK)
Elizabeth stood in front of Daniel, who kept looking at her with bored eyes.
"You can start whenever you want." He spoke.
Nodding indifferently at his words, she instantly took on a stance.
The temperatures of her surroundings instantly plummeted, with tiny snowflakes forming in the air.
Instantly, multiple icicles formed in the air, before shooting towards Daniel at high speeds.
The latter, however, still had no change in expression as he looked at the icicles that were inches away from him.
Finally, he raised his both hands and clapped them with force.
CLAP!
In the next instant, a large soundwave traveled through the air in front of him, completely shattering the incoming icicles towards him.
The sound was controlled in such a way, that even though it had such a sheer intensity, it never caused harm to the people out of its area.
Amon gulped.
He had to admit that even though Daniel was evil, he was still one of the teachers in the strong tier of the academy.
His control over the sound element was phenomenal.
Lowering his hands, he asked Elizabeth in an apathetic tone.
"Anything else?"
The latter however, remained silent and kept looking at him with coldness.
Amon even spotted some flickers of disgust in her eyes.
He knew that Elizabeth could see Daniel had an evil alignment with her eyes.
After all, no matter how strong a person was, their emotions were laid bare to see in front of the eyes of a Silvercrest.
He knew that she could see his malicious emotions.
Suddenly, Elizabeth took on a stance again and raised her arm in the air, before clenching her hand a second later.
Daniel instantly looked down and in the next moment, numerous ice spikes erupted from the nearby ground underneath him.
Remaining calm, he jumped in the air and looked down at the large number of spikes now erupting from the ground.
As the nearest spike finally neared him though, he spun in the air and delivered a powerful kick to the tip of the spike.
Before everyone could see what happened, all the spikes vibrated with sheer intensity and suddenly shattered into minuscule pieces.
Landing back on the ground unharmed, he looked at her again.
"Anything else?"
Looking at him in silence for a while, Elizabeth shook her head and went back to stand right next to the line.
Looking at her, Amon knew that she could do more but couldn't handle his suffocating emotions anymore.
He sighed.
In actuality, Daniel was a villain for Elizabeth.
He was a Ghoul Recruiter.
Ghoul Recruiters were people who tried to find strong and weak targets and then recruit them to their side by converting them into a ghoul contractor and promising them more power.
Ghoul Recruiter themselves were also ghoul contractees.
By contracting with a ghoul, a clovist, or an armenist can gain temporary enhanced power by the use of corrupted mana.
The problem with this was that prolonged use of the power led the contractee to lose their rationality and then turn into a ghoul beast.
Daniel would try to target Elizabeth by exposing her to corrupted mana with each training session and messing with her emotions.
Since a teacher can also take in personal students, he would also take in Michael as a personal student because of the latter being weak enough to be converted.
However, his plan would be soiled later on when Michael himself exposes Daniel at a party and then proceeds to beat him.
It is also when his first interaction with Elizabeth takes place.
With Amon's intervention in the novel and friendship with Michael, he now had to make sure that Michael would expose Daniel and get him to meet Elizabeth.
He had to ensure that the plotline would carry out just like in the novel.
He was jolted awake from his thoughts when he realized that the whole line had already cleared out.
Feeling Daniel's gaze on him, Amon walked up to the small fighting area.
Like he had said to everyone else, the former repeated the same line,
"You can start whenever you want."
Nodding at his words, Amon suddenly realized that he had to use the [Blood] element again.
[You are an idiot aren't you?] He heard Zephyra remark in his head,
Suppressing a sigh and ignoring her remark, he quickly looked around for an ice splinter again.
To his dismay, he didn't find anything to cut himself with.
Feeling Daniel's piercing gaze on him, he finally let out a deep sigh.
'Guess I'll just have to do it that way….' He concluded.
It was something that he had seen in one of the books at the bookstore.
He raised his hand and in the next moment, bit hard on it.
Enduring the pain, he tore off the flesh at the spot, letting blood freely pour out from the wound.
He saw Daniel's eyes widen for the first time and a flicker of interest passed through them.
Concentrating hard on the blood, he repeated the same process as last time.
However, this time it was much easier as within half a minute, numerous blades made of blood hovered in the air.
Holding on to his consciousness, he shot them towards Daniel who was still looking at him with surprise.
The blades cut through the air at high speeds.
But like every time, just as they were inches away from him, he clapped his hands and the blood instantly lost its form, turning into liquid and falling on the ground.
Strangely though, this time Daniel's eyes did not have any trace of boredom but were rather filled with interest.
Not even asking if Amon wanted to continue, he instantly appeared before Amon with a potion in hand.
"Here, pour this over your wound. We are done for now." He quickly told him, extending the potion towards him.
Amon, who didn't understand anything that was happening, looked at him at a loss.
Realizing that he might have been a bit too sudden, Daniel opened his mouth to speak again.
But suddenly, a hand grasped Amon's shoulder and pulled him away from him.
"I apologize Sir, but I don't think you need to use a potion on him. I can just heal this small injury with my ice. There's no need for you to bother." Elizabeth spoke to Daniel.
Recognizing the voice next to him, Amon looked to his right and found her standing there, still holding his shoulder.
For a fraction of a second, he saw annoyance flicker through Daniel's eyes before boredom replaced it.
"Ahh, well, If you can do better then go ahead." He waved off his hand and then returned to his place.
Before Amon could make sense of anything that was happening, Elizabeth grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side, far away from Daniel.
Finally arriving at a considerable distance from him, she quickly turned over his hand to see the bleeding wound.
Without any word to him, she raised her other hand and started to heal the wound using ice.
'Huh?'
