"Ufufu~"

Despite taking note of the speeding dagger, Ellania casually lifted two fingers and traced a straight line directly upwards, sending a purple spike to intercept it. The two projectiles collided and both shattered under the force. But that wasn't the only thing that she'd sent upwards---another purple construct jutted out from underneath the plate, sending it as well as the sandwich flying into the air.

Her other hand remained out of sight behind the counter, moving and doing something unseen even as the grinning Qliphat leaned forward.
With a calm, but amused smile, Felicia watched Ellania perform her magic curiously. Rather than winning the sandwich, she was more interested in learning about this powerful mage before her. Perhaps she could learn something that would accelerate her understanding of her frostfire magic.

Watching the sandwich and plate flip over in the air, Felicia sent out another thin ice shard, hitting the plate from above causing it to dive straight towards the unoccupied arm reaching behind the counter. With the other materialized ice shard, that was slightly larger than the other one and glowed faintly, she skewered the sandwich to keep it falling apart, and sent it flying back towards Felicia.

"Do you think I was born yesterday?" She inquired with a smile. "Although I may not be able to stop whatever you're doing over there, at least know that I'm not dumb enough to not keep track of each of an opponent's limbs." She spoke calmly, as an icy spell slowly froze the silver-haired woman's legs together.

"Ha! I wasn't counting on that."

Responding to the smile with one of her own, Ellania kicked her left leg with her right one, breaking the forming ice. She then made a gesture with only a single finger this time---the flexible purple construct that didn't look flexible, but bent nicely anyway, drew her rapier on her behalf and followed the movement of her finger; the two halves of the plate fell harmlessly to the floor, and the Qliphat lifted the arm which had stayed hidden up to now.

"Have a bite of this!"

With that, she flung an entire sandwich towards Felicia's mouth.

As the woman shifted the shape of her magic as if it was the most natural thing in the world, Felicia watched in awe as it expertly controlled and waved the rapier as if it was a separate limb of her own. The plate clattered as it hit the ground, just as Felicia looked up to an entire sandwich being flung at her face!

T-Two sandwiches?!?!

With one coming at her from the left, pierced by her own ice shard, and the other being flung from the right towards her, Felicia was suddenly struck by a dilemma. She could easily catch one and allow the other to fall to the floor, but sacrificing a sandwich?! That would be the greatest sin of all time.

Firmly making her decision, she suddenly darted from side-to-side, catching both sandwiches in her mouth.

Don't ask why she didn't just use her free hands to catch both sandwiches separately, she panicked okay.

Either way, she completely ignored the rest of her surroundings for the next few moments as she dissolved in bliss. She's been starving all day, hence the sandwiches quickly disappeared down her stomach, with Felicia completely forgetting how unladylike she was being.

"Fufufu~"

Covering her mouth with a hand as her rapier returned to it's rightful place on her hip, Ellania chuckled gently, teasingly.

"My, my, my...someone's hungry, isn't she? With that sort of display, you could take over the world. Fufufu~"

Finally realizing what she had just done, Felicia blushed beet-red as she dashed out of the tavern without looking back.

QUEST REPORT (APPRAISED)
Quest Report (3)
Name
: Myria Lasvier
Level: 2 (230/600)
Quest: Weapon Training
Evaluation:
  • Was brutally trained by a certain white-haired woman-hating devil...
**********
After the whole ordeal with the slime horde raid, galloping around escorting medical supplies and clumsily fending off slimes, Myria slept for a long while in the local stable, peacefully surrounded by hay. When she awoke, she had a new determination to get stronger. If another raid like last time came along, she wanted to be strong enough to protect her new home! After completing her daily review of her ancient tome, practising her mana sensing and manipulation abilities diligently, she set off to apply for training, oblivious to the fact that a new page of her tome had revealed itself...

Trotting excitedly over towards the barracks, she knocked on the door to one of the offices in order to apply for training. After some shuffling was heard in the room, the door slowly opened revealing a man with snow-white hair and a terribly scarred face. (@Nahrenne )

"Um, excuse me, I'd lik-" Myria began, just as the door was abruptly slammed in her face. More shuffling was heard in the room, as Myria stood there blankly in shock. Wondering if she did something wrong, she checked and tidied her clothes before knocking again.

"Shut up b*tch! Oi Lio go deal with her before I lose my god damn mind." He roared and grumbled before a green-haired elf (@Epsil ) opened the door with a smile.

"Sorry, ignore that fellow from earlier, he has a pretty deep grudge against women. How can I help you?"

Somewhat appeased by the explanation, Myria tried her best to ignore what just happened. "Hello, I'd like to request some weapon training, in polearms preferably." She smiled at the much more polite young man, as she lifted up the pouch of 15G needed for the training.

Pondering for a moment, the elf slowly took the gold from her hands before saying, "Excuse me a moment." and closing the door.

The sound of murmuring, yells, shuffling and chaos was heard through the door as Myria stood there tensely, having no idea wtf was going on. Who knew asking for weapon training would be this hard?

Suddenly, the door burst open, and the white-haired man from earlier was shoved out the door, with the elf smiling behind him. "This guy's our resident billhook specialist and is our best at wielding polearms. He'll teach you, right Alex?" He spoke threateningly, gripping his fellow city guard's shoulder with force. The elf didn't look stronger than the man called Alex, but it seemed his words had an effect on him anyway. Maybe they were friends and he owed him a favour or something, who knows.

"Alright alright sheesh, I'll teach this horse b*tch, but if she comes crying back to you don't blame me. That's what they all do anyway..." He grumbled with scorn as he avoided looking at the centaur and marched out towards the training fields without another word. Grabbing a couple of spears casually as he exited the building, Myria was forced to trot lightly to keep up whilst maintaining a distance behind him.

"Your hooves are so f*cking noisy!" He suddenly yelled, just as they starting travelling on the stone path towards the fields. Somewhat irritated but frightened, she immediately moved onto the grassy dirt on the side of the path in order to travel more quietly. She knew the hostile man was stronger than her, but she really really wanted to just trample him to death right about now...

The training itself... was sadistic, to say the least. If the position of her grip slipped even a tiny bit she'd get a smack, if she failed to parry or defend against his strike, he'd cut her without hesitation. Despite being a newbie to combat, he really didn't hold back at all. It was like he vented his frustrations by beating her up, seeing as he looked a tad bit more amiable by the end of the training. Only a tad. She still hated his guts though. By the end of it, her entire body, including her 6'4 horse half and human half, was littered with uncountable bruises, wounds and cuts. It was a miracle she could even still stand by the end of the day. Whilst she was recovering her breath, the white-haired man casually took away her spear and went back to the barracks, leaving her in the field.
"It's good that you came when extra supplies are still here." As I talked I forced a health potion in her hand and started applying herb salves on any open wounds.

I then started bandaging before realizing with a blush "sorry my body automatically starts treating people...."

When Myria handed in her report, she was ready to head to the temple or apothecary to get some healing for her wounds, but to her surprise, the receptionist she just passed the papers to suddenly started treating her injuries. A health potion was suddenly thrust into her hand, as her wounds suddenly started feeling soothed from the herbal salves applied on her body. Myria watched in bewilderment as the little brown-haired girl hurried around her, treating all the wounds she could find before beginning to bandage them up.

"Ah, no, don't apologize! I'm really thankful actually, I wasn't sure if I had the energy to travel to the temple from here without collapsing." She laughed sheepishly, before drinking the potion generously handed to her. "I'm sorry for using the extra supplies though, I know we're still running low after that whole slime horde raid." She sighed as she sat on the floor to rest her legs.

I smiled before explaining "it seems that the apothecaries are really pumping out a lot of supplies for some reason so it's alright."

I whispered "they said we need only return the supplies when we wanted, so I'm just going to use them instead of them being wasted being sold on a caravan for a high price elsewhere."

I returned to normal speaking voice "is a normal bed fine for you?" I wondered if I needed a larger bed, I could combine a few beds I think.

"Ah, well that's reassuring to hear at least." Myria smiled at the little human who was treating her so diligently. Her whisper made her laugh a little at her cheekiness. "Money does make the world go round though~" She commented idly, vaguely remembering how a third of her money was unfortunately drained away for that hell-like training.

"A bed?" Myria blinked in disbelief at her words. "Ah-no, well, I don't fit in beds and I don't use them haha. I'm way too big and heavy for that, I usually rest in one of the local stables." She laughed, remembering that her way of life wasn't very common here.

I seemed surprised before shaking my head "oh, my name's letianna, but you can call me leti, and you are?" I finished treating her.

"My name's Myria, it's lovely to meet you Leti." She responded, stretching her sore limbs as the treatment period ended. "Thank you so much for treating me, is there anything I could do for you in return?" She offered gratefully.

"Hnmnnm~ I dunno, maybe I'll think of something in the future?" I really had no idea what she could do after all. "That captain is really mean! Erm, why'd you choose spears?"

"Alright, let's say I owe you one then." She smiled as she decided to order a mug of hot chocolate to drink whilst she recovered her strength. It was a little uncomfortable resting on wooden floorboards, but she was too tired to get up.

"I don't think he was a captain, at least, I hope not, I couldn't bear to imagine what would happen if any female soldiers were put under him." Myria shivered at the thought, some anger simmering within her. One day she'd become stronger than that idiot and kick his ass. Thinking about that possibility in the far future helped calm her down.

"Spears? Ah, well, I didn't put much thought into it really. During the slime horde, I killed a bunch of slimes using a half-broken pipe, so I thought it'd be a good idea to just build on that experience. Well, I definitely wouldn't choose pole-arms if I could go back in time now though haha." She explained with a smile. "What about you? Do you know how to wield any weapons?" She inquired after some thought.

I nodded "someone that hates females so much should not be in charge of others."

I thought about it before responding "I'm currently training my body first, I'm also studying magic, hopefully one day I can use it to defend myself."

My body had already recovered uncle Jason really knows how to train a body enough so that the next day it's already recovered huh

"My uncle's in town for a week, I can ask him to help you train?"

Myria nodded at her words whilst sipping her mug.

"Oh really? I'm also studying magic, I have an ancient tome from my old world that I'm using to help my studies." She replied excitedly, being a fond pursuer of all things arcane.

"Train what?" She asked, her interest piqued.

"I have an old time too! It's just in the break room." I was also excited, a fellow learner? My eyes sparkled "we should converse later about magic okay?"

I returned to her later question "He says training every part of the body for me since he says I need to work on my foundation before teaching me anything. He's also been training my stamina."

I looked over her "he's enthusiastic about training but he'll no doubt be like an angel compared to that evil trainer."

"Oh really? That's awesome! We definitely should do that later, hopefully when my body isn't so sore." She laughed excitedly with twinkles in her eyes.

"Oh I see, body foundation and stamina training... That would be useful, though I'm not sure how effective his practice methods would be on a centaur like me." She spoke thoughtfully, pondering whether it would be worth troubling Leti's uncle for.

"Haha, that's also true, I definitely don't want to return to that guy... even if I did learn a lot during his training..."

"Okay, you've convinced me, if he's fine with training me I'd be glad to join you guys." She smiled, though the mere thought of training right now still scared her a little.

"Umu, he's sightseeing today so he'll be available tomorrow! I'll make sure to tell him he'll figure out a way." I was excited to be training with another person.

"Sounds good!" Myria replied with equal excitement, smiling at the new blue-eyed friend she made today. Even if the training didn't turn out that effective for her, she was looking forward to practising and chatting with Leti anyway.

"Oh, before I forget..." She got up suddenly, grabbing a spare piece of paper and pen from the desk and scribbling something down. "Here take this IOU from me so that you remember I still owe you one!" She smiled, not afraid that Leti would use it for anything bad.

"Thank you." I out it in a hidden pocket and wondered "I feel like others would come in by now? Yet the place still feels a bit empty."

"Anyways I think you can sell slime cores to alchemists so that might be something to look into."
