A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

"Yes ma'am" Helena said and nodded.

"Good" Instructor Amber said.

"You can go to the training field. I am leaving now to go meet the camp Overseer concerning what you told me." She said further.

Helena nodded.

Then she left Amber's office to go back to the training field.

"What? So Anissa and her insane daughter were planning such terrible thing for Helena right under our very nose?" Roselyn said in shock.

Then she began to imagine all the calamitous events that would take place after Helena's Aetha veins had been ruined.

"I am just glad I made her go into that valley. Or she wouldn't have met Lydia who would spill Jennifer's secret plans to her" Amber said.

"Right. And don't forget that she is the Chosen One. That's why these events played out like these. Nothing can destroy what the world is backing. I am sure that these events that happened are a result of the natural forces of the universe. They came into play to help avert such terrible thing that would happen to her and to the world at large if her meridians were successfully ruined." Roselyn said.

Then she said further "We would keep a very close watch on Helena from now on. Nothing must happen to that girl. Or I would never ever forgive myself."

Amber nodded her head.

Then she said "Since we can't trust the other instructors who we don't know if they may be in affiliation with Anissa, I think we should keep these secrets to only ourselves".

"I think we can also involve Deylina too. She is a very trustworthy person. It's one of the traits of their race apart from being strong and having tough bodies. They would rather die than betray people that they have ate and drank together with for years"

"Okay." Roselyn nodded.

- Training Field -

"Good morning, instructor Deylina" Helena quickly greeted when she appeared in front of Deylina.

Deylina only nodded her head.

"And why are you just coming?" She asked.

"I went to see instructor Amber to give me more magical spells. But she didn't give me any and only told me to finish training on building my body before I would be given some" Helena said.

She lied to Deylina as she didn't want Jennifer's mom, Anissa, who might be eavesdropping on what she was saying to truly understand what she went to do in Amber's office.

Haha!

Deylina laughed.

"But Helena, why are you like this?" She asked.

"I don't think you know what setting priority is. You have to finish one thing before moving on to the next. Make sure you have completed the first thing on your priority list before setting out for the others. Or you would see at the end of the day that you actually ended up achieving nothing." Deylina said further.

"Yes ma'am. Very well understood" Helena said.

"Good. Now, let's start our training." Deylina said.

Then she picked one of the numerous wooden poles on the ground and gave it to Helena.

Helena became surprised by Deylina's action.

"Ma'am, you have me a wooden pole. What am I to do with it? She asked.

"Use it to attack or block" Deylina replied.

"Huh? Okay, instructor Deylina" Helena said happily.

She felt that instructor Deylina was now also going to train her in combat.

"Now attack me" Deylina said seriously.

Helena didn't waste time once Deylina said that.

Very quickly, she dashed towards Deylina and swung the pole horizontally at her abdomen.

Despite Deylina's huge and seemingly rigid figure, she fully bent backwards from the waist to dodge Helena's horizontal strike to her abdomen.

Then she straightened herself back when the pole moved over her previously bent body.

As soon as she evaded Helena's attack and straightened herself back, she immediately crouched on her feet and then spun anti-clockwisely on the ball of one of her feet while swinging out the other to sweep Helena off her feet to the ground.

Helena who didn't know how to dodge this particular move suddenly found herself doing an aerial cartwheel to dodge the sweeping foot attack that Deylina sent out towards her legs.

And once she landed, with her wooden pole still tightly grasped in her dainty hands, she also crouched on her feet and actually reproduced the exact sweeping rotational move that Deylina executed a second ago.

However, Deylina being an highly experienced combat instructor and a formidable, versatile fighter, easily evaded the sweeping attack that Helena sent out towards her by executing an aerial move.

The instant she landed back to the ground from her spectacular acrobatic flip into the air to evade Helena's attack, she moved towards her to strike her down.

Raising the pole held in her hands high into the air, Deylina swung it down vertically towards Helena to hit her on the head.

Helena however abruptly blocked the move by holding the poles at both ends over her head to deflect the vertical downward strike of the pole.

Bang!

A bang sound rang out with Helena being knocked hard to the ground.

"And that's how you strike down your enemy" Deylina said when she got in front of Helena that was on the ground.

Helena at the moment looked helpless. Also, the air in her lungs had been knocked out of her when she heavily landed with her back to the ground.

"But I am not your enemy." Helena said with difficulty and grunted.

Deylina only shook her head at her.

Then she stretched out her hand to pull Helena back to her feet.

"Why I made you fight me is because I was told by instructor Amber that you said your combat skills had improved. So, I wanted to see to what degree it had improved to." Deylina said.

"Instructor Amber told you that? Ugh" Helena said.

She didn't know that Amber was still going to tell Deylina what she told her.

"Well, your fighting skills have improved a little. However, it is not you developing on them. It's your mind copying what you saw people do and then you reproducing it." Deylina said.

"To be sincere, I really love that copying ability of yours. It could be one of the best abilities in the world for any warrior."

"Do you know if you can copy other people's magic? Like, someone unleashes a strange and fearsomely powerful magical attack at you. But you don't know the spell to produce that same magical attack, would your mind be able to imitate it regardless of lack of comprehension for the magical attack and you being able to reproduce it and launch the exact magical attack at your opponent?" Deylina said and asked.

"Oh. That would be really sweet. But I don't know if I can do that. I don't think I may have that kind of ability." Deylina said.contemporary romance

"Alright. Come with me, Helena. I would like to show you something to feast your copying mind." Deylina said with a smile.
