Cosmic Ruler
Chapter 134 A New Teacher III
It has been several days since they first began their tour, and now it has come to an end.
Following Jake, she visited many places over the past month, creating memories that will last her for many years to come.
"Thank you for this wonderful month," Grace said as she sat across from him during a short coffee break.
"Just hoping to help you create some good memories too," Jake replied, looking at her.
Grace nodded and asked playfully, "So, tell me, how should I repay you?"
"Repay me? There''s no need for that," Jake laughed.
"No, this won''t do," Grace shook her head. Looking straight into his eyes, she said, "My principles won''t allow this. I must repay you in some way."
Jake nodded in understanding. After some careful thought, he said, "How about you teach me something?"
Grace, who had hoped he might ask her out or suggest becoming his girlfriend, looked at him speechlessly.
Despite maintaining a friendly demeanor, her inner world was in turmoil.
She had imagined him saying something like, "How about we go on a real date?" or even, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Her thoughts raced through scenarios where he would hold her hand, pull her in for a kiss, or confess his feelings. Instead, his request caught her off guard, leaving her to wrestle with her disappointment and the fluttering hope for a different kind of connection.
She forced a smile and said, "Sure, I''d be happy to teach you. What would you like to learn?"
'' All those secret books of mine have surely described forbidden relationship between Teacher and student'' she thought as she looked at jake.
Grace was an Saintess candidate before her untimely death, due to this her life was very strict but even among that strictness the maids talk about love and doing stuff with knights caught her ears.
Unable to quench her curiosities she bribed one maid and asked her about relationship and stuff and the maid aided her by giving her many love fantasies books.
Hence her knowledge about all this stuff comes from books that are even based on real incidents, and thia caused her think about teacher student forbidden relationships with jake.
Jake shrugged modestly. "I''ve had a lot of help along the way. My teacher is a master of Divine Magic, and I''ve also had access to ancient tomes and relics that contain vast knowledge about light and divine spells. It''s a combination of rigorous training, access to rare resources, and, of course, a bit of luck."
[I would have accepted this bullshit if I didn''t know you had Light-related Authority,] Nexus commented, causing Jake to nearly choke on his smile. Despite the internal disruption, he managed to maintain his composure and continued to converse with Grace, smiling as if nothing had happened.
Grace smiled. "Luck often favors the prepared. What kinds of Tier 5 spells can you use? Are they primarily offensive, defensive, or a mix of both?"
"A mix of both," Jake replied. "I can create powerful light-based attacks, like beams and explosions, that can damage or disorient my enemies. On the defensive side, I can conjure shields of light that can block both physical and magical attacks. I also have a few utility spells, like light healing and invisibility."
Grace''s eyes sparkled with interest. "That''s quite a versatile skill set. In my world, we categorized spells similarly, but our approach to light magic was more focused on its healing and protective aspects, while Holy Magic took on the offensive role against dark forces."
"That makes sense," Jake said. "In my training, the focus has been more balanced, allowing me to adapt to various situations. But I''m curious—what kind of spells do you think I could learn from you that I might not have encountered before?"
Grace thought for a moment. "Well, one spell that comes to mind is the ''Sacred Light of Purification.'' It''s a Tier 6 spell in my world, used to cleanse corruption and darkness from large areas. It''s particularly effective against curses and undead. Another spell is ''Divine Retribution,'' a Tier 7 offensive spell that channels divine energy into a powerful strike against evil entities.
It''s not just about raw power but also the purity of the energy used."
"Bahhh, what cheesy names for simple techniques," Myne commented, unable to hide her disdain. As an ancient light spirit, she found those names quite amusing.
''Cant you two stop for a moment? '' Jake mentally asked.
Myne smirked. "Trust me, I''ve seen light magic in many forms, and while the names might be flashy, the essence is what truly matters. Still, it''s entertaining to hear how things evolve."
Knowing he wont be getting any response from these two bastards his focus went back to Grace.
Jake''s eyes widened with interest. "Those sound incredible. Sacred Light of Purification would be especially useful against the dark forces we often encounter. Divine Retribution sounds like it could be a game-changer in battles against particularly tough foes."
Grace nodded. "Exactly. Both spells require a deep connection to the source of your light or divine magic. They also demand a lot of energy and concentration, which is why they''re higher-tier spells. But with your potential, I believe you could master them."
"Thank you, Grace," Jake said sincerely. "I''m eager to start learning these spells. I think they''ll greatly enhance my abilities."
Grace smiled warmly. "I''m glad to share my knowledge with you, Jake. Let''s begin with the fundamentals of these spells, and then we can gradually work our way up. It will be challenging, but I have no doubt that you''ll be able to handle it."
With that, they settled into a comfortable routine, exchanging knowledge and refining their magical skills, each day bringing them closer to mastering the spells that would aid them in their future endeavours...at least for Jake, Grace only focus was on the forbidden love she had learnt in books.
