Alan couldn't help but smile when he saw this, his steps became much lighter, and he greeted from a distance.
"Good morning, are you waiting here for us?"
Sylphy nearly fell down, and became visibly panicked.
"No! No! I."
"Look! I told you that Sylvain wouldn't come here specially to wait for us, and you swore that she would come here specially, Alan. It's obviously a coincidence."
Seeing this, Rudy retorted unhappily.
"Okay, you're right."
Sylphy had already run in front of the two of them at this time. Her expression changed when she heard what Allen said. She grabbed Rudy's head, and while the other was flapping his hands, she kept hiding him behind her.
Both of them are small in stature, and Rudy cannot be hidden behind Sylphy.
"No! Alan! No! Mine is..."
Alan looked at Rudy who was about to suffocate, smiled, and casually touched Sylphy's head.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that caused you to be poisoned yesterday. Are you still feeling unwell now?"
Sylphy moved her ears, her reddish-brown pupils reflected a gorgeous luster under the sun, and her hand slowly dropped from Rudy's forehead.
"No."
"ha!"
Rudy finally got rid of his restraints, took a breath as if he had just surfaced, and glared at Sylphy and Allen.
"Hey, I'm the one who's feeling unwell!"
Alan rubbed his chin and looked at the two men.
"Sylphy also has a Laplace factor. This is earlier than the plot of the novel. If she starts practicing increasing her magic power, she will be more confident of landing properly after the big transfer in the future."
"Rudy, why don't you teach her magic?"

25. Chapter 25 Why does Sylphy need to learn sword?!?
25.
Rudy was surprised for a moment when he heard this.
"ha?"
Sylphy also showed a puzzled expression.
Rudy then seemed to understand something and turned to look at Sylphy.
"Magic? It's not impossible. If we're not around, Sylph can use magic to fight back when she's bullied."
"I"
Alan also nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, so it's more appropriate for you to teach her, because I don't know any magic at all."
"that."
"Ah, it's a bit troublesome. But since it's Alan's request, I'll agree to it with reluctance."
".You are a person who won't teach me unless I tell you."
"? Why are you teaching him magic? It's you who should be teaching him."
Sylphy failed to interrupt twice. She looked at Allen on the left and Rudy on the right, and found that the two had no intention of listening to what she said, so she couldn't help but get anxious.
"I want to learn swordsmanship!"
As they were talking, they had already walked under a big tree on the hillside.
The wind is gentle.
The last words of Rudy's words "It would be better if you taught him swordsmanship" were blown away in the air.
He blinked, a smile slowly spread across his face, and he turned to look at Alan, who had a stunned look on his face, and smiled a funny smile.
"Hey, Master Allen, it seems that your little boy doesn't want to learn magic from me, but wants to learn swordsmanship from you? What are you still standing there for?! This is a perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson! Hurry up and agree to it!"
Alan's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish, looking a little confused.
"Ah? This butterfly effect is too ridiculous. You are a Laplace factor carrier and you are learning swordsmanship. Are you kidding me?"
"Why?"
Sylphy blinked.
Then she turned around and stretched out her little hand, making a slashing motion towards Rudy who was watching the show. Her pointed ears twitched in the air, and her hand blade cutely struck the air in front of her, and a whooshing sound came out of her mouth at the same time.
Rudy was unharmed, and his mouth twitched.
Alan staggered on the spot.
"No! Wait a minute, you don't think the fighting spirit in swordsmanship is cool, do you?"
Sylphy and Rudy both showed a look of surprise and tilted their heads to look upward at Alan.
"Isn't it handsome?"
Still speaking in unison.
Alan was stunned for a moment, then his face fell.
"Wait! The butterfly effect this time is a bit too obvious. In the original work, although Rudy thought that swordsmanship was good, he didn't think that swordsmanship was cool. And Sylphy is even more outrageous. She specifically asked to learn the hand knife fighting spirit release. No, it's not appropriate for you to learn this when you specialize in non-chanting healing arts? How can a nanny carry a knife to fight in close combat?"
Sylphy looked at Alan, whose expression was becoming increasingly serious, with a look of panic on her face.
Rudy acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He turned around and walked aside to admire the cursive calligraphy that Alan had carved on the tree yesterday. However, his ears moved from time to time, indicating that he was still having fun.
Sylphy looked at Alan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, and shrank her neck with a vague look in her eyes.
"Oh no, could it be that Allen doesn't like me learning swordsmanship?"
"That, that"
"If Alan doesn't like it, I'll learn magic from Rudy. It doesn't matter. Magic is fine. I can help you, Alan, blow dry your hair."
A gust of wind blew and made Alan and Rudy's hair messy.
They both had incredible expressions on their faces and stared at Sylphy in a daze.
"ah?"
——
"I see. Sylphy has never performed offensive magic properly on anyone."
After a flurry of understanding, Alan suddenly realized that Sylphy had never seen attack magic, his father, Roltz, was only good with the bow and arrow, and knew nothing about magic, and his mother was a typical good housewife, skilled in sewing, cooking and boiling water, but could not perform magic.
So compared to the magic of "just releasing hot water and blowing hair", she would rather learn the magic of being able to smear mud on someone's face with just a flick of her hands.
The latter looks more aggressive.
This really fits the value of a few-year-old child who is interested in whatever is cool.
"That's right. Rolts' mother, Elinarize, was also a swordsman, so it's normal that he was raised without learning magic. And Sylphy is only five years old, and in such a remote village, it's normal that she has never seen magic."
Allen looked at Rudy, who was using the Burning Hands + Blowing Magic to chase Sylphy around the tree, while shouting "Hurry up and learn how to do this and blow the hair of your beloved Allen!" and held his forehead helplessly.
"What the hell is this about blowing the hair of my beloved Master Allen?"
"Rudy!"
Rudy chased after Sylphy and turned to look at Allen.
"ah?"
"Stop messing around. Since she has never seen proper attack magic, you should show her how to do it."
Rudy pulled a face.
"Can't I learn swordsmanship?"
Alan glanced at Sylphy who was staring at him cautiously, and sighed silently.
"I've observed that her physical condition is not suitable for learning swordsmanship. Swordsmanship requires talent. Don't be fooled by Master Bao's cynical appearance, as if he can achieve high attainments in swordsmanship with just a little practice. In fact, strictly speaking, he is a swordsmanship genius."
Rudy was stunned.
"I see."
Alan looked at Rudy, and the smile on his face gradually faded, because he suddenly realized that Rudy had reached the saint level in magic attainments.
".Rudy, according to Luo Qixi, your talent for magic is terrifyingly high. You can cast spells without chanting, and you have reached the level of a Water Saint magician. Moreover, you have reached the Water Saint level because the highest level of magic she can master is the Water Saint level, not because your strength limit is the Water Saint level."
As Rudy listened to Alan's words about Loki's praise of him, a smile gradually spread across his face.
But the following words made his smile freeze on his face.
"So, I'm very curious about your current strength. If we are far enough apart, who is stronger between you and me?"
Rudy looked at Alan's serious face and spoke in surprise.
"What are you talking about? You are my swordsmanship teacher, so of course you are stronger, Alan."
Alan looked at Rudy, expressionless.
"I mean, who's stronger, my swordsmanship or your magic?"
Rudy's face fell even more.
"You can fight with father, so of course you are better."
"Do you really think so?"
Rudy opened his mouth and looked at Allen, unable to speak for a long time.
With his mild and non-aggressive personality, he felt helpless about the unexpected developments. Even though he had been awarded the title of Water Saint Magician by Roxy, he still did not feel it was real, let alone fighting against others. Even if he became an adventurer in the future, he would try his best to avoid conflicts with others.
"This is only natural."
"Use your full strength to attack me, and let Sylphy see the power of attack magic."
Rudy was so flustered that he didn't even realize that Allen was talking about Sylphy instead of Sylver.
".Are you kidding me?"
The next moment, Rudy felt a gust of wind blowing across his face, and a blade flashing with a cold light was already on his neck.
Under the sunlight, the slender blade gleams like a mirror.
Rudy saw his pale face on the blade. Even though the back of the knife was facing his neck, he still felt the chill from the blade.
He swallowed and looked along the blade.
Alan, who was only a few meters away a moment ago, was now within reach.
He lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and leaned over to look directly into Rudy's stunned pupils.
"I said, treat me as an enemy and use offensive magic on me."
Rudy stared at Alan's eyes and realized that he was serious.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 26: Stop Fighting
Just as Rudy and Allen looked at each other and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Suddenly, a sob was heard in the air, and a small hand stretched out from the side and firmly grasped the hilt of Alan's knife. Sylphy looked at Alan with tears in her eyes. She tried hard not to avoid his sight as usual, and spoke stutteringly but very seriously.
"Ai Allen, we are friends, we can't fight."
As Alan's gaze gradually became dazed, Sylphy burst into tears.
Seeing this scene, he hurriedly sheathed his knife, but was scratching his head because he had only scared children in his past two lives and had no experience in comforting them.
Rudy came back to his senses from his daze and looked at the bewildered Allen in silence.
".Aren is a boy with a lot of youthful spirit. He actually drew his sword against his companion just to find out who is stronger and who is weaker. It's just a reverse-edged sword, but he seems to be calm. So, does that mean he is serious about letting Sylphy realize the power of magic by competing with me?"
