"You're pretty fast even without magic," Patricia praised me after I arrive soon after her.
"You're wrong. I used air magic to direct the air pressure so I won't feel it hit me directly and slow me down. And I still need some more training," I said.
"Even though you're that strong?" Patricia asked.
"We don't know how strong the enemy is. That's why until we face him directly, we can only get stronger," I said.
"...No wonder Emilia lost to Angela. We have been living in this country in peace without any real danger. And we know nothing of the outside world. We don't really have any motivation to grow stronger. That's why after reaching expert level, most of the mages here thought that it's a waste of time to continue cultivating," Patricia said.
"I see. And those expert level mages, are all of them wind element mages?" I asked.
