“The training plan is still the same today…”

Private mansion on the edge of the Milan International Exhibition Centre.

The jaw-dropping tidy garden like a square, the large fountain is always shrouded in a comfortable and quiet atmosphere, and the green lawn is trimmed like a velvet blanket. Each bench in the courtyard is shining brightly, and the only mansion is as luxurious as the White House.

This mansion is one of the important strongholds of the [Silver Flag], and is specially used to entertain VIPs or hold meetings of a few cadres.

Because he had to ask someone for his blessing, Lily got the right to use the courtyard.

"First of all, control the strength. There is a big difference between the real world and the imaginary world. When physical fitness cannot be effectively improved, you can only focus on skills for the time being. Of course, it is not a skill to defeat the enemy, but a skill to master your own strength."

"yes!"

Lily's advice sounded in his ears. The soreness of his arms surged like a tide, almost madly, but Asana still carefully completed today's training plan.

The thin white sportswear has been wet with sweat, and the chestnut hair has also stuck to the skin, making the neck and forehead feel uncomfortable. Although there is also a strong urge to "cut it into short hair", due to the concerns of some adolescent girls, they can only tie their hair into a ponytail during training, which makes it more comfortable.

"Give."

A bottle of water was handed in front of me.

Asuna took a deep breath, her hands trembling.

There is no way, the huge number of sword swings alone is nothing, but Lily just asks for ‘swing the sword to smash the stones she threw’.

This not only tests a person's dynamic vision, but also tests judgment.

When to swing the sword, how much force should you use, how fast you should be... and a series of factors such as this have to be thought out in less than a second... No... that is no longer considered thinking.

Relying entirely on instinct and feel.

"Thanks."

Asana thanked him, opened the bottle cap and took a sip.

Just supplement the moisture that passes through the training process. She can feel her body gradually getting hot and unusual heat, just like staying in a sauna. This is a technique that uses magical activation to accelerate metabolism, mainly used to treat muscle damage and extract more magic.

"I'm not suitable to be a teacher."

Lily suddenly said in annoyance.

"Hey? No, you have helped me a lot."

What a lucky thing to be able to get the guidance of Lily, a true swordsman - Asuna knew very well. So she quickly comforted her.

"Your sword sense is very good. If the master comes out in person, the effect will definitely be thousands of times better than mine. Let's talk about it first. This is not flattery, but a conclusion drawn from facts. Master has always had many ideas. Why doesn't Ashina ask him?" Lily asked in confusion. In her eyes, Ling Yi was like a magician who appeared in the gods. His unpredictable thoughts and various means were really in line with the word "magician".

Oh, by the way, he is also good at playing with language.

Maybe he will be fooled. But his abilities are indeed trustworthy.

“….”

Asuna was silent for some reason.

The expression looks very entangled, as if he obviously wants to buy something but is reluctant to pay for it.

"Is there any hidden secret?"

"It's just a little embarrassed."

“….”

With Lily's suspicious eyes, Asuna finally confessed to leniently.

"That guy seems to want to send me to the training institution of the power of this mansion."

Her voice contained worries.

“Has the master decided?”

"have no idea."

"I don't find it difficult to accept it."

"That's right."

"So...."

Just when Lily wanted to ask ‘What are you still hesitating about’.

Footsteps came near the mansion foyer.

"Ah, are you doing morning exercises?"

The visitor was a young brunette wearing a casual shirt and jeans.

"Master, although you're awake, it's not morning."

Lily revealed the identity of the visitor.

"There is no need to pay attention to that kind of detail, but Akana—"

As he said that, Ling Yi turned his eyes to the rather nervous girl in sportswear.

"We have a verbal agreement, so I want to ask for your opinion. Originally, for the consideration of 'laying a good foundation first', I planned to borrow several tutors from the [Silver Flag] to teach you all kinds of knowledge. But think about it carefully, why should you count on others with Lily? If you don't mind, Lily will guide you in swordsmanship from today, and I will teach you the knowledge of magic."

"...Wait, you said you're here to teach me magic?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Asana even suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"What are you surprised?"

"Will that...sn't it delay your time?"

Asuna said hesitantly.

"I think no one will feel that being with his lover is a waste of time."

Because Ling Yi's attitude was too natural, Ashina didn't react at all.

"So that's it...oh? Love... Lovers?!"

Asana nodded and after about three or four seconds, she suddenly realized.

"Yes, for the sake of convenience, you are neither a knight nor a magician. After thinking about it, only a 'lovers' is more suitable. In this way, those guys in the [Silver Flag] will take care of the 'Ling Yi's lover'."

"...that's the case."

It turns out that it was not what I thought.

A strong sense of shame hit my heart, and Ashina's cheeks became redder.

It seems to cover up my disobedience.

"I'll go take a shower first!"

*********************

"This is impossible! Are you robbing 80% of the equity?"

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the tea hall, Asuna heard the familiar scolding.

When I went in, I saw that it was as expected. The Russian-born man abandoned his usual calm side and was roaring at the black-haired young man on the sofa opposite to express his dissatisfaction.

"Where is Lily?" Ling Yi asked in confusion when he saw Asuna enter the door.

Completely ignored Ogranfer's dissatisfaction.

"She said she wanted to stroll around the neighborhood. She had been very busy some time ago and had no time to soothe her body and mind. No matter what, Lily is also a girl, don't let her do anything dangerous."

“It depends on the situation.”

In response to this ambiguous answer, Asana glared at Ling Yi and sat next to him.

She had just taken a shower and had a nice smell on her body.

Ling Yi took a breath as if he was enjoying himself, and took his hand to her shoulder.

It's like the eldest master who came from where he came from.

"!"

Asano was startled at first, remembering what Ling Yi said and forced himself to calm down.

That's right. They are now in a lover relationship.

At least that's the case externally.

"Hey, are you listening to me seriously?"

Feeling the cold gaze, Ling Yi said seriously:

"Of course, as a partner, I have always had the least respect."

"You need 80% of the equity when you open your mouth. You can say such things."

Ogronfer sneered.

"From the perspective of a businessman, isn't this taken for granted?"

"Don't talk about greed so righteously!"

"Okay OK, I'll lower my requirements a little."
