For the first time, the young man saw the elder in such a state and was momentarily unsure of how to react.
Was there really a master lurking in ambush?
Alan, having no intention of engaging in a prolonged exchange, launched a basic beginner-tier magic fire ray at the two upon landing.
The elder, upon seeing this, immediately relaxed his tensed nerves.
"Hmph, ridiculous."
This kind of magic was so basic that even novice magi disdained its use.
It had been obsolete for years, ineffective and easy to dodge, with minimal power.
He turned to the young man, "Your Highness, treat this as a practical exercise. Use the method I've taught you to block it."
"Yes, Teacher!" The young man viewed the incoming magic with disdain, considering it a bluff, a trick from an unworldly bumpkin.
Chandler, on the other hand, grew anxious.
What was his boss doing?
He was doomed, still destined to be turned into a bloody body!
