"By the way, about my debt…" Alice suddenly reminded Eve about it.
"Oh, you can consider it fulfilled." Eve casually said.
"Are you sure? It doesn't feel like I have repaid anything, considering how much I owed you. Sure, I lost a month of leave days that took three years to save up, but it's still nothing compared to what you did for me." Alice said with a slight frown on her face.
"It's fine, really. But you're free to continue thinking that you owe me a debt until you're satisfied." Eve smiled.
Alice nodded, "Then I will be returning to my city now."
"Send the little princess my regards." Eve suddenly said.
"Why don't you visit her yourself? I'm sure she'll be more happy that way."
"If I get the chance."
"When was the last time you left this city? 10 years ago?"
Eve shrugged, "I'm a busy woman."
Sometime later, Alice left the academy.
"How do you feel? Are you feeling more confident about the Knight Tournament?" Eve asked Leo during dinner.
He nodded, "Yes, I'm feeling pretty confident. I really owe Alice. She taught me a lot about swordsmanship. Although Khrome also taught me a lot, his lessons were more basic— just enough for me to get through. However, Alice's lessons are far more advanced. Honestly, I want to train with her a little more. A week is just too short."
Eve smiled and said, "You can always visit the Golden City and train with her there. However, you're not allowed to visit another city until you graduate from this academy— so for another two years."
"What?! Two years?!" Leo exclaimed.
"Indeed. One may become a student at the Four Witches Academy at the age of 13, but no matter how many years they study in this academy, they must graduate at the age of 21. Since you're 19 years old, you have 2 more years left in this academy. If you wish to continue staying in this academy, you must become a teacher." Eve explained to him.
'So it works like this in this world as well…'
In his old world, his university also had a similar rule, so he wasn't that surprised. However, not being able to leave the city for 2 years definitely surprised him.
"Don't worry, 2 years is actually shorter than it sounds. It'll fly past before you even know it."
"Hm? Wait a moment. Am I not allowed to leave the city at all, or am I just not allowed to visit other cities?" Leo noticed this and asked.
"If you have a good reason for leaving the city, I don't mind, but I want you to stay out of the other cities until you are strong enough. Every city in this world has their own rules and regulations, not to mention their environment. Some are stricter than others while some are more dangerous than even the Wilderness."
"Is that so…"
"Anyways, we can talk more about that after the tournament. The tournament will begin in two days, and there will be a briefing for our students tomorrow, but you don't need to attend it. In fact, you're not going to show up until the tournament actually begins to avoid any unnecessary risks."
"I understand."
Leo returned to his room shortly after.
"Are you excited?" Lilith asked him as he laid on the bed.
"Of course. This is my first time in a competition like this." He said.
"I also cannot wait to see my best friend shine on the stage!" Lilith chuckled.
Leo quickly fell asleep, as he hasn't had a wink of sleep since he started training with Alice.
Meanwhile, outside the city, Alice was traveling at lightning speed with her magic.
"Yes, I am on my way back." Alice spoke through the phone while she moved through the Wilderness at lightning speed.
"Where did you go? Did you really need to take a month of leave?"
"Stellar City. A friend needed my help."
"Stellar City?! Don't tell me you're traveling on foot! Why didn't you take the teleporter? That would've saved you so much time!"
"I hate using teleporters, especially the aftereffects." Alice calmly said.
"Seriously? In order to avoid feeling nausea for a few minutes, you decided to waste 2 weeks on foot— a month since you have to return too? I can't even…"
"Anyways, hurry up and come back, Alice. My family is getting anxious since you've been gone for so long."
Alice suddenly stopped moving when a large figure that emitted the aura of an S-Rank monster blocked her path.
After glancing at the giant monster before her, she said, "I will return as soon as possible, and I will call you again when I am back. See you later, Princess."
After hanging up the phone, Alice retrieved a sword with a blue blade.
"Lightning Blade." Alice mumbled in a low voice.
Lightning snakes appeared and coiled around her sword.
The giant monster suddenly went to strike her, but Alice disappeared before the hit could land.
When Alice reappeared, she was right behind the giant monster, and before it could react, she slashed her sword a hundred times in the blink of an eye, turning the monster into minced meat.
After killing the S-Rank monster with ease, Alice went to pick up its mana core before she continued her journey back to the Golden City.
The following day, without anybody bothering him, Leo didn't wake up until it was late in the afternoon.
After washing his face and taking a quick shower, Leo ate some lunch in his room before returning to his bed.
"Lilith, show me the ancient magic circle. I want to study it today." Leo said to her.
"Are you sure? Isn't this your rest day?"
"Even if you say that, what am I supposed to do when I cannot leave this place? Also, studying is a form of relaxation for me."
"Alright. Here you go." Lilith displayed the ancient magic circle for him.
And for the remainder of the day, Leo would study the ancient magic circle.
Meanwhile, somewhere inside the academy, a small group of students were gathered and waiting for Eve to brief them about the tournament.
