Chapter 187 Accident
"Though, since you're already being taught by Headmistress Eve, I doubt you'll need to be trained by another teacher. After all, she's the best trainer in this whole academy." Ethel said with a smile.
"Now that classes have started again, she won't have as much time to train me, so I will need to rely more on other teachers." Leo said.
"I see. Well, good luck. If you need me, you can find me at the teacher's lounge. If I'm not there, I will be at the training center or the training field."
"I understand. Thank you."
Once the teacher left the room, Leo mumbled to himself, "Ancient Labyrinth, huh? I can't wait."
"What are you planning?" Lilith asked after seeing his weird face.
"Isn't it obvious? I am going to farm monsters there! Three months… Do you think I will be strong enough to hunt S-Rank monsters in that amount of time?"
"Probably." She nodded.
Leo left the classroom shortly after, but he was stopped immediately after by someone that had been waiting for him outside.
"What do you want?" Leo asked the red-headed beauty standing before him.
"I want to spar with you," she said in a calm voice.
"Why?"
"To see who is stronger, obviously."
Leo pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you an Adventurer? What rank are you if you are?"
"B-Rank."
"Alright, I will spar with you." Leo said with a smile.
He needed to complete his quest, and she was perfect for it.
Helia found his behavior a bit odd, but she didn't say anything since she got to fight him anyway.
Sometime later, they entered a private room in the Training Center.
"Any specific rules?" Leo asked as they stood before each other.
"Let's use the same rules as the ones from the tournament, so no magic artifacts and no potions."
"Alright."
"The match will start the moment this coin hits the floor." Helia took out a coin and flipped it into the air.
When it landed, both Leo and Helia cast their first spell.
BOOM!
They both used Fire Blast, causing the room to shake slightly from the massive explosion.
And before the explosion could even go away, Helia cast another Fire Blast.
Leo did the same.
'Oh? Is this a challenge?' Leo thought to himself.
In order to test out his theory, Leo cast Fire Blast for the third time, and as he'd expected, Helia also did the same.
A smile appeared on Leo's face as he continued to spam Fire Blast.
Not wanting to lose to him, Helia also spammed Fire Blast.
'I have trained my fire magic even before I could walk! I am not going to lose to someone who started training a mere month ago!' Helia gritted her teeth as she tried her best to keep up with Leo, who was clearly at an advantage due to his faster casting speed.
However, as much effort as she gave, Leo would eventually overpower her with Fire Blast and send her flying.
<You have completed a Quest>
[+1,000 Magic Points]
Defeating a B-Rank Adventurer gave him a thousand Magic Points.
"Want to go again?" Leo asked her, who was lying on the floor with her arm covering her face.
"This time, let's use other magic besides Fire Blast."
Helia nodded her head and got back on her feet.
Leo quickly purchased the quest again before fighting Helia for a second time.
This time, Helia stopped being stubborn with Fire Blast and actually used her other magic spells.
The two of them went back and forth, engulfing the entire room with flames.
Eventually, they decided to end it with their strongest magic spell.
"Hephaestus' Flaming Sword!"
Helia summoned her massive flaming sword.
Not wanting to look down on her, Leo also decided to use his strongest fire spell.
A dragon's head appeared behind Leo while Helia's flaming sword materialized above her.
"T-That magic spell…" Helia was immensely shocked when she saw the dragon head, as she recognized it.
She wanted to ask him why he knew Eve's signature spell, but she wasn't in the situation to do so.
They released their magic spells a moment later.
Whoosh!
The dragon's head released a fiery breath while the sword slashed at it, splitting the breath in half.
However, Helia wanted to slice more than just the flames— she wanted to slice Leo and the dragon's head behind him.
Unfortunately, the Tier 7 Dragon's Breath was simply too powerful for Helia's Tier 6 spell, and she was overwhelmed for a second time after a few seconds of struggle.
"Aaah!"
Helia cried out loud when the flames engulfed her body.
Leo quickly stopped his spell when he saw this.
"Are you okay?!" He quickly ran to her.
Once the flames died down, Leo could see Helia lying on the floor, but there was something odd about her appearance.
"Oh!" Leo immediately slowed down and closed his eyes, as Helia's uniform had been completely burned away by the Dragon's Breath, resulting in her being naked.
"Hey, are you okay?" Leo asked her as he slowly approached her.
"..."
There was no response from Helia, which made Leo panic a little.
'Fuck… I hope she's not dead…' He swallowed nervously.
Leo opened his eyes and rushed to Helia again after thinking that she might have died.
He placed his finger underneath her nose.
"Thank god, she's alive." He released a sigh of relief when he could feel her breath on his finger.
He removed jacket and covered Helia's naked body with it.
"Can you look after her while I call for a teacher?" Leo said to Lilith before leaving the room.
A few minutes later, Leo returned with a female teacher.
"What happened here?" The teacher frowned when she saw Helia's condition.
"Uhh… We had a spar and I ended up accidentally burning her clothes…" He said in an awkward voice.
The teacher proceeded to wrap a large blanket around Helia's body before carrying her out of the room and into the medical office that was located a few rooms down for a checkup.
"You wait right here." The teacher said to Leo before leaving.
