Meanwhile, Sylvia and Lily met up with Zhen in the Hayth's garden, which had an open field with a space as big as the mansion itself.
"..."
With crossed arms, Zhen just stood in the center as if he was waiting for the girls to come closer.
Noticing the tense mood, the two cautiously walked over to him.
"W-we look forward to your lessons!"
"..."
They were obviously nervous but especially, Sylvia was careful as she gazed at him nervously.
"The use of magic will be prohibited for today's training."
"Hm?"
"Today, we will start with a little spar."
"W-without magic...?"
"!"
Sylvia immediately jumped back when she sensed Zhen's incoming sidekick, which was aimed at both of them.
"Hrngh!" Lily groaned.
She managed to put up her arms just in time but she was still sent flying.
"So you were able to dodge that, huh? Not bad." he commented, sounding unimpressed.
