Ning smiled and happily entered the house with Helena now even more curiously looking at him.
"Are you going to be my teacher now?" she asked.
"Yes, it seems so," Ning said with a smile.
Helena's eyes widened. "Then I will be able to fight as good as you?" she asked.
"Uh, not yet. After a few years when you've become strong then you will be able to fight as I can."
"Besides, you don't train in Aether arts to fight. You train to be able to protect yourselves, your friends and families, and the other folks who need your help," Ning taught her.
The girl looked with an amazing look and wondered if she should be writing it all down somewhere.
Ning chuckled. "Wait until I formally start teaching you in a few weeks. For now, I will have to learn about potions myself," Ning said.
Ning entered the soot-stained kitchen once more and nearly coughed when the spicy vapors entered his body.
