But then I thought, Aurelion calls Gwen "teacher".
Suddenly things made sense.
Professor Victor is the princess's magic teacher, while Grand Knight Gwen is her swordsmanship teacher.
So it's obvious at a glance that Grand Knight Gwen must have come to train the two of them.
The students outside crowded together, trying to catch a glimpse of Gwen 'training' the two inside the Arcane Hall, afraid of missing any details.
After all, they were all mages and rarely saw knights in battle.
This is much more exciting than regular classes.
Moreover, what reassured them most was not Aurelion and Erica's identities.
Because there's an even more powerful person in charge.
In front of the students, he was a robust, white-haired old man.
He crossed his arms and watched the three fighting continuously in the distance.
Although Erica and Aurelion were indeed being pushed back by Gwent...
But Vladimir admired it.
The two children are undoubtedly exceptionally talented.
Although Erica trained with mages for a period of time, she prefers to use elemental magic.
Aurelion is more versatile, perhaps because she learned swordsmanship from Gwen, so she spends more time fighting with a longsword.
It resembles a mage, but it is not a mage.
Because mages rely on both magical tools and their physical bodies to deal with enemies.
Therefore, mages don't actually have much magical power.
Aurelion, however, was different. Not only did she possess magical power at the level of a normal mage, but she was also extremely skilled in melee combat.
Moreover, she is the only one in the academy who uses this combination of swordsmanship and magic in her combat style.
I don't know how they were taught.
Vladimir watched the three fight with apparent interest.
I felt the same admiration when I saw Gwen.
Gwen seems to have become stronger than when she was in the North.
In her battles against Erica and Aurelion, she employed no complicated techniques, relying solely on skill and immense strength to exert considerable pressure on the two.
Her techniques flowed smoothly, like cold water in winter, both fluid and sharp.
This is why Vladimir didn't intervene when he saw Gwen appear and get into a fight with Aurelion and Erica.
Because it's unnecessary.
Vladimir was a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, and he knew perfectly well whether someone intended to kill him during a fight.
When Gwen fought the two, it felt more like she was guiding them.
It was as if he was trying to teach the two of them something.
That's enough.
Moreover, Vladimir's gaze fell upon the other sword at Gwen's waist.
The greatsword seemed to be completely engulfed by flames, exuding an extremely violent aura within its scabbard, like a fierce flame hidden in ice, yet to be unleashed.
Vladimir could sense from afar that the longsword was anything but ordinary.
If Gwen goes all out, the two girls definitely won't be able to handle it.
Therefore, Vladimir did not stop him.
Erica's magic surged once more, and several beams of blazing starlight transformed into straight white arrows that shot out from her hand, aimed directly at Gwen.
These arrows vanished in mid-air, leaving only a faint, shimmering stream of sharp magic to continue their journey.
[Second-tier magic; Starlight Arrow]
Gwen remained calm amidst a dense barrage of invisible arrows.
She calmed herself down and felt as if the arrows around her had completely merged with the airflow.
But under Gwen's gaze, as if the chill had transformed into a sharp blade slicing through the air before her, the white arrows still revealed their forms in front of her.
Gwen bent down slightly, weaving through the rain of swords, and appeared before Erica with a sharp blade in hand.
Aurelion charged at Erica with a sword in one hand, the enchanted blade slashing towards Gwen.
Gwen slightly shifted her body, raised her elbow, and gently nudged the blade, which shimmered with magical light, before it even had a chance to collide with the longsword in Gwen's hand, and it had already slipped out of Aurelion's grasp.
Second-tier spell: Bewitching Fire Rope
Aurelion unleashed a spell with her other hand, and a crimson rotating rope lashed out from the array in her hand, encircling Gwen's body and binding her tightly.
Gwen remained unfazed, her body trembling slightly. A surge of pressure erupted from within her as she yanked the crimson rope out, stomped on it, and twisted it violently until it dissipated.
She gently bumped forward, and before Aurelian and Erica could react, they were knocked back dozens of meters.
The two were gradually losing their strength.
But Gwen remained completely at ease.
Gwen straightened up, withdrew her hand, and looked at Aurelion and Erica in front of her:
"It seems you're not quite qualified."
"Let me teach you a simple lesson."
Then, she raised the sword above her head again, a cold glint flashing in her eyes:
“Foolish…”
"A cat that steals fish."
A strong killing intent erupted, and the scorching smell, like flames, continuously entered Vladimir's nostrils.
He sensed something was wrong, and his eyes widened suddenly.
But Gwen had already raised her sword and shattered the ground beneath her feet.
As the slabs of stone shattered and flew up, she instantly transformed into a hazy phantom and rushed in front of the two.
call--!
Suddenly, a black feather inexplicably spilled out of the air and fell down from mid-air.
