Assassination

The Bidu kingdom, in the Anvil family mansion.

Clank!——

Cracks!——

Crash!——

"What do you mean you can't find his body?!"

"I saw that bastard jump off the cliff with my own eyes!"

"You were there as well weren't you?!"

"Yes, but when we were searching for his body, we realized that the side if the cliff was lined with vines…"

Swoosh!——

Bang!——

An expensive looking vase flew threw the air and hit the man squarely on his face.

The man had the ability to dodge, but he just stood there and let it break on his face.

The old man huffing, puffing, and throwing around his treasured antiques was the old man who had chased after Collins to a certain cliff.

"Father, calm down and drink some water, anger is bad for your health."

Swoosh!——

Swoosh!——

Bang!——

Bang!——

A painting and a book flew across the room.

"Calm down? Calm down? This is all your damn fault!"

"If your mouth wasn't so big that it couldn't hold any secrets, we wouldn't be in this predicament right now!"

"If hadn't learnt that I killed his father, how could he try to run away?"

"I had him right were I wanted him, all that was left was to get the damn secret technique!!"

"Now someone who hates us with all his guts is out there, and might be plotting against us, how can I have the time to drink water."

The son didn't get angry, he pulled a chair over and placed it behind the old man, as he tried to comfort.

"So what if he knows the truth?"

"What can he possibly do to us?"

"He doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, but we have all of these knights."

"He is of no threat!"

"Father, sit down and drink some water."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this problem."

"I will bring Collins back to you alive and we will extract the secrets of practicing magic out if him!"

The young man consoled the old man as he rubbed his shoulders.

"Humph! What can you possibly do?"

The old man snorted disdainful, but he still calmed down slightly and sat down.

Seeing this scene, his son quickly poured him a glass of water, as he said:

"If Collins has any brains, then he will try to flee to another kingdom, and Botala kingdom is the nearest kingdom."

"I already had a lot of men stationed in all routes leading to Botala kingdom, the moment he shows up, he will definitely be caught!"

The old was relieved to hear this, so he took the glass of water from his son and took a few gulps.

"When did you do this?"

"Last night when you went home, I stayed behind just to make sure that he was dead."

"I didn't tell you this yesterday because I didn't want you to loose sleep over this matter."

The old man who was finally fully composed leaned back on his chair and spoke with some melancholy.

"Sigh, I'm getting old."

"You have performed exceptionally well this time."

"If this matter is done well, I will let you take over the family business in advance."

The son didn't seem excited to hear, but he still promised to do his best.

…

The Bidu kingdom, in a small village famous for it's beautiful flowers.

Today was a day full of excitement, as the king was about to pass through here on one if his famous tours.

Everyone was in a festive mood, as the town was covered in all kinds of decorations.

Children's laughter could be heard everywhere in the town, and the adults were also smiling from ear to ear.

In almost every place the king passed through, he would throw a bunch of money to the residents, so how could the not be happy?

The people who were most excited were the unmarried ladies, if the king took a liking to them, they could be lucky enough to enter the royal harem, and live the rest of their lives lavishly."

"Look over there! It's the royal convoy!"

"Wow! It looks so majestic!"

"The king's demeanor is so majestic!"

"Yes, he looks like a celestial being!"

The single men in the crowd were all speechless.

'The envoy is very far away ok? Even if your vision is awesome, all you can see is guards!'

'The king is probably still in his carriage!'

"Why are you so excited? You are already married, ok? Even if you weren't, the king wouldn't pick you."

A husband in the crowd pinched his wife.

Just as everyone was patiently waiting, a man with a bald head stood in front of the imperial convoy and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I, Collins Anvil, the adopted son of George Anvil, am hear to assassinate the dog of a king, under the orders of my adopted father!"

After saying so, he released three arrows into the imperial convoy, turned around, and ran away.

…

Botala county, green-hill mountain.

Natasha was disappointed that she couldn't capture the bandit leader, but she didn't dwell on the matter for long.

She ran all the way back home, passing through an open market to buy two gifts for her father and mother.

When she got back home, Natasha found Sophia dishing the food, so she let out a sigh of relief.

During the meal, she told her parents that she had actually found a real mage hiding in a small mountain village.

Having expected their disbelief, Natasha showed them a small fraction of the strength that she had acquired which left them dumbfounded.

Her parents were very excited for her, but they were also worried.

"You have acquired such great strength in such a short time, they won't be any side effects right?"

"Does your teacher treat you well?"

"He is not a lecherous old man is he?"

"Do you need me to send guards with you the next time you go back?"

Natasha had to repeatedly assure her parents about her safety, and explain her situation in great detail before they were able accept it.

Ten days later.

"Don't worry, the teacher takes good care of me, and I am strong enough to protect myself."

"You guys should take more care of yourselves."

"Yes mom. I will try to come back sooner this time around."

…

During the time that Natasha was gone, Matthew thought over the theoretical architecture to the realm of the level 2 mage.

He was refining his theory and looking for potential loopholes or that would pose any trouble later on.

Only after finding it fine did he feel completely relieved.

Now that he was done with his part, he would just wait for his precious student to take him flying.

"It is about time for me to leave this place."

"Although I stayed here for a long time, I don't feel nostalgic about this place at all."

As he thought so. Matthew started to pack his belongings.

He decided to leave as soon as Natasha came back.

…

[Ding!

Your student successfully killed two knights in training with a shovel!

Reward

You have learnt a new weapon wielding technique !]

…

"What the heck?"

"Didn't Natasha just leave today? Why is she already killing people?"

"Most importantly, why is she using a shovel to kick people?!"

As Matthew was resting in the shade of a tree, the blue screen that had long disappeared popped up again.

As he read the message on it, he felt some knowledge appear out of nowhere in his head.

Matthew was not very happy to learn such a skill.

"It is so inelegant, how can a girl use a shovel to kill people?"

"I should come up with a fake technique for using swords just for this little girl."

"On the upside, I learnt that I can learn fighting techniques through Natasha."

A few hours later

…

Ding!

Your student successfully created a method of using mana and killed a knight, a dozen knights in training, and a some mortals!

Reward

You have learnt a new skill !

You have learnt a new skill!]

…

Matthew was shocked by the sudden information.

In his opinion, Natasha was not a blood thirsty person, so it must have been the people who were trying to attack her.

"I hope she will be okay."

Matthew didn't know if she would be traumatized by this experience of being forced to kill so many people.

"This method of attacking is so trashy! I should also try to make a better technique for attacking using mana!"

"I have a headache!"

After thinking for a long time, Mathew decided to just come up with a cool sounding name and trick Natasha into developing a technique by herself.

"Maybe something like 'the palms that subdue dragons'?"

"If she isn't able to make up her own exercises from just a name, I will try coming up with some vague concepts for her to use."

After thinking so. Matthew went back to his nap.
