On a winter training ground, the cold wind whistled past, and the sky seemed to be covered by a gray curtain, dim and dull.

As winter approached, wizard robes gradually became popular. Even the most beautiful noble ladies would put on wizard robes to resist the biting cold. As a result, the training ground was filled with darkness. Whenever someone opened their mouth to speak, they could clearly see white breath, like white mist, filling the crowd.

However, some people are still a little unsociable at this time——

"Today is an exam. Your performance will determine your grades in the first half of the year. Are you sure you want to play against him today?" Teacher Rebecca, half of her face hidden in her fox fur collar, frowned and asked in a low voice as she looked at Lilith who took off her robe to warm up.

"Why not?" Lilith didn't stop warming up. "Isn't it what you want to see, teacher, to use magic in actual combat?"

"...I only examine the students' proficiency in defensive magic. Nothing else matters." Teacher Rebecca said in a somewhat cold tone.

"I know, I know." Lilith giggled, summoned her sword and walked towards the field.

"Lilith! Come on!" Sean, who was always eager to help, shouted to cheer her up, and many people followed suit. Lilith quickly glared at them a few times before they calmed down.

After a few months, everyone had gotten used to watching Lilith wielding her sword in the Defense Against Magic class. Sometimes after training was over, they would often gather around to watch the fun and occasionally give comments.

In the training ground, a figure was already waiting there with a sword in hand.

"It seems that you are also very welcome here, Miss Lilith." Daniel looked at Lilith walking slowly towards him and smiled gently, but the smile never reached his eyes.

"Yes, that's true. Are you envious?" Lilith smiled and drew out her sword as she walked.

Daniel narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a voice that people far away could not hear, "I think people should not be too confident, Miss Lilith. Some mountains cannot be climbed just by working hard."

"That mountain you're talking about isn't you, is it?" Lilith took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of white mist, allowing her lungs to adapt to the cold air that felt like ice needles.

"I'm sorry." Lilith raised her sword and pointed it at Daniel's heart. "I have made a special blessing today. I must cross this mountain today."

She held the sword and chanted, the texture of the wood appearing on her skin and flashing by.

It was the Armor Curse. When Daniel saw the hardened skin, he always thought of the defeat he had suffered, and felt a pang of pain in his teeth. He looked at the look in Angel's eyes from a distance, and without hesitation, he drew out his sword and attacked like a gust of wind, piercing Lilith's throat.

The harsh sound of metal friction was heard, and before the spectators nearby could react, the two men had already started a close combat.

"You've become much stronger, Miss Lilith." Daniel seemed to be unable to resist provoking during his attacks. "Look at your arms. You've made yourself look like a man and a woman. What are you going to do when summer comes?" Daniel sighed regretfully.

However, Lilith smiled. She slashed Daniel's sword aside, pulled away and stood still, then said happily, "Thank you for the praise, Daniel."

She couldn't help pinching her arms. It seemed like she had built up some muscles. She was happy!

Seeing that Lilith had no reaction to his ridicule, Daniel's eyes turned cold again and he swung his sword again, but he heard a "clang" and his sword hit the shield, splashing sparks.

A strong recoil force came instantly, Daniel felt his arm go numb, and the long sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand. He gritted his teeth and gripped the hilt tightly, and took the opportunity to step back a few steps to shake his wrist that was numb from the shock. He also had to put on his signature smile on his face and pretend to be calm.

"Or can you only rely on some small magic to take advantage? Miss Lilith, it seems that even if you can't be loyal to the princess in the future, you can come to Highgarden and be a street performer. I bet the children in the royal city will like your little tricks." He said softly.

When did this woman's shield become so thick, damn it!

"Excuse me, this is Defense Against Magic class, Daniel." Lilith smiled and pointed at Rebecca who was watching eagerly from the sidelines. "I have to use some magic to get good grades."

She raised her sword and stepped forward, "Why do you care so much about this, Daniel? Didn't you used to like watching me use magic?" When she was unable to resist.

Lilith turned the hilt of her sword and leaned forward. Now it was her turn to attack.

"sulfuric acid--!"

Her desire to attack was too direct and strong, and was unsurprisingly met head-on by Daniel.

"You--" Daniel subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to sneer again, but saw Lilith bend down to relieve the force of the sword in her hand, and used her small size to quickly stab his abdomen from below, forcing him to close his mouth and awkwardly wave his sword to avoid Lilith's attack.

But Lilith didn't give him a chance to adjust. Without stopping for a moment, the rapier that was pushed to the side drew a half circle in her hand, emitting a burst of silver light, and the tip of the sword stabbed towards Daniel's neck again.

Daniel was horrified. This feeling as if he was bitten by a snake gave him goose bumps all over his neck. He tried to turn around to avoid it, but he still felt a chill on his neck. The cold wind seemed to drill in from the wound immediately, like an ice knife entering his body, making him tremble uncontrollably.

——This woman! He instantly felt extremely angry. Seeing that Lilith had almost exposed the flaws of her left half to him in order to facilitate this desperate attack, he no longer cared about the threat on his neck, but raised his sword with both hands and stabbed fiercely at the spine of the girl who was about to cross him.

Not good! Teacher Rebecca's eyebrows jumped when she saw this from the sidelines. This kid was too ruthless. She raised her hand to stop him.

"when--!"

The shield with wood grain rose from the ground again. It looked like just a pile of dead roots, but when it was chopped off, it made a sound of metal and stone.

Daniel's sword actually created sparks on the wood. He was blown away by his own strength and took several steps back. Just as he was feeling shocked, he felt another sword gust coming from the side!

When Lilith just lost her balance, she used the shield to give herself time to support herself on the ground and adjust her posture, thus protecting herself. Then she continued to swing the sword at Daniel without stopping.

Too fast - Daniel's heart actually sighed like this the first time. He instinctively raised his sword to block, but this time his hand was numb from the shock and he couldn't hold his sword tightly. Another sound of weapons clashing rang out -

Daniel's sword flew out of his hand and was carried into the air by the huge force. After drawing an arc, it pierced straight into the ground.

The sword body trembled slightly, making an unwilling humming sound.
