So that's what happened...
Teresa didn't give it much thought. She simply nodded and said, "I understand. Leave it to me."
Just as the adults had said, training in the camp every day wasn't sufficient. Some real - life combat experience was essential.
"My lord, I'll be off then?"
Limon released his hand from around Teresa's waist. "Go ahead, but don't let your guard down."
Teresa smiled faintly, put on the faceless mask, and said with confidence, "Don't worry, my lord. You've bestowed power upon us. As long as we don't encounter monsters at the demon - general level, who can pose a threat to us? I'll never underestimate any enemy and will give my all, even against the weakest of foes."
Very good. It seemed that Teresa, his student, had learned well from him. Some of his words had truly taken root in her heart.
Teresa stood up, stepped out of Limon's embrace, and strode out. Her graceful figure quickly vanished from the tent.
