They arrived home at around 3PM. Although Tezariah really thought before of teaching Yuria about the Ways of Magic, she has seen Yuria's talent for the Ways of Might. She was definitely built to be a fighter than a wizard. Therefore, he lost a huge deal of temptation to teach Yuria about magic.
Firstly, he didn't want to waste Yuria's talent. That alone was 90% of the reason. Secondly, she was too violent. Although, violence was part of combat, her tendencies were closer to someone berserking when she was fighting. She was reckless and just lets her body do most of the fighting. Lastly, she was not the type of person to seek knowledge and could not stand sitting and reading for long amounts of time. This final reason was more of tradition than a requirement. Most wizards started training from reading and researching. They only came out just to test these "research" and improve upon it. Although there were some "more spontaneous" types of wizards when it came to training, it was rare.
Yuria grumbled at Tezariah for declining to teach her. Tezariah decided to talk to her after dinner. For remainder of the evening, Yuria was constantly staring at Tezariah whenever they meet, making him uncomfortable. It wasn't a threatening stare but rather it arose a more instinctual chill to a man. One more like when a mother looked at their naughty child, or when you did something wrong and your wife stared at you-type of stare.
After eating dinner, Tezariah asked to talk to Yuria. Yuria, thinking that Tezariah will finally agree, happily followed Tezariah. Later on, Tezariah refused her again; but this time he stated the reasons as to why he refused.
As for the reason he didn't tell it earlier when she first asked, it was because he was still tempted at the time. Thus, only now after calming himself from all the events did he had the resolve to talk to her.
"Then where can I find someone to teach me this, Way of Might" Yuria frowned. She knew that Tezariah was more of a Magic-type and it would be understandable that he would know nothing about it.
"Although I may not look like it, I might be able to help you a bit. I am after all a pure Combat Wizard. The essences may be different but at least I am not unknowledgeable about the Way of Might. Furthermore, I know of the training methods of Fighters. I have... a friend, I guess. Who was a fighter." Tezariah felt weird calling that person a friend, but indeed, they both fought together side-by-side many times. Even if he didn't call him a friend, it wouldn't be far off.
"Are you sure?" Yuria asked while still being skeptical.
"Yes. Although be prepared. No slacking off!" Tezariah said. He was serious about this. He didn't want to be a "teacher" of someone useless, especially a "useless demigod". That would be his greatest humiliation ever if it happened.
Yuria just grinned. Her blood was boiling and her eyes were filled with an unexplained passion as something seems to awake inside her. An ember started to burn inside her soul. Albeit an ember, it was pure crimson red. These changes started to occurs just from the stimulation of what is yet to come. Tezariah saw her eyes and felt her sudden changes. His instincts told him that the woman in front of her will become a terrifying figure in the future.
Tezariah told Yuria to rest up. He would start their training tomorrow early morning with body exercises. After all, before one could empower their mana and soul, the body must be able to handle it. Although he knew that Yuria had a well maintained body, it was better to "stretch" her body first before other things. With everything already scheduled, Yuria was about to leave when...
"Do you want to see something interesting tonight?" Tezariah suddenly said. This perked Yuria's interest.
"What?" she asked. Tezariah smiled mysteriously.
"Do you know of any abandoned buildings or such in the area?" he returned a question as a response. Yuria told him about an abandoned factory a few hundred meters from the house. She used to play there when she was a kid.
"Lead me to that place, I will show you something. I do hope you don't cower in fear though." he smirked. Rather than be afraid, Yuria's interest increased. She immediately nodded and they left. Although it wasn't late at night, both of them leaving at this time arose more suspicious from everyone in the house. Especially since they both have been going out together for these past two days.
Both of them walked silently. To break the silence Yuria asked about demigods and such things.
"I know little about demigods. Most off them are either too secretive about it or too scary to talk about. But there is one thing I could say about demigods, they do not fall far from the tree. All of the known demigods have a resemblance in both character and attribute from their god parents. A good example would be you. You have a gracefulness in your aura, at the same time, you have the most explosive of tempers. After observing your father and learning you are a demigod, I might as well conclude that you got it from your mother." he explained.
"What do you mean explosive of tempers! When have I eveeerr exploded in anger towards anyone" she stared intently at Tezariah.
"Just now."
Yuria was speechless for a second. She was about to lash out a profanity when she was interrupted by an old woman. She was selling to them some rice cakes. Yuria bought some as she looked at the nice rice cakes.
"Young lady, don't fight with your boyfriend too much." the old woman suddenly said. Yuria was taken aback from this denied it. Tezariah looked at her amusingly as she tried to deny it to the old woman.
"Yeah. You shouldn't fight with me too much. Now you're even denying to be dating me. Old Lady, what should I do." Tezariah said playfully. Yuria looked at Tezariah wih shock at first then anger. Before Yuria could say another word, Tezariah dragged her away.
A few meters away. Yuria got away from Tezariah's grip and punched his shoulder.
"You bastard! What did you mean back there." she said. Tezariah could not contain it and started laughing as they walked.
They finally arrived at the abandoned factory.
"So what will be do here?"
"I want to make a contract with a demon... and an angel"
