The Plan (Continued)

But as he approached Celinina, his perspective suddenly began to spin.

The intense feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively think that she had fallen.

But she quickly dismissed the idea... she wouldn't make that mistake!

When she came to her senses, she felt a burning sensation on her body...

My back... it hurts so much...

"Waaah..."

"I do not understand..."

Seeing Lappland completely overpowered and fall to the ground, Celinina was stunned for a moment.

Even she herself didn't expect to do such a thing...

She has a clear understanding of her own abilities.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to dodge Lappland's attack just now...

But...

How could this be...?

Almost instantly, Celinina realized that her recent progress was very likely the result of Maria's guidance...

Only...

Does one-sided self-destruction truly enhance one's abilities?

Celinina didn't quite understand.

However... although she wasn't sure if her reaction time had improved, she was certain that her strength had indeed increased significantly.

"Let me go!"

Lappland, pinned to the ground, struggled fiercely... This scene reminded Celinina of the result of her first sparring match with her.

That time... the result was the same. Although Lappland's attacks were very agile, she still managed to seize the opportunity and pinned her to the ground.

But at that time, she was completely unable to control the other party... Lappland was like a wild beast, directly supporting her!

It's impossible to control.

But now... Celinina didn't even feel herself exerting any force; Lappland was pinned to the ground by her...

Moreover, judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she hadn't used any effort.

Her little face turned bright red.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Celinina dragged her slightly stiff body and slowly got up from the other person.

Lappland also sprang to her feet, looking at Celinina with surprise and uncertainty.

It's only been a week since the two of them last sparred, hasn't it?

Since that battle, I've been training hard every day, and my strength has improved quite a bit.

But... why does she feel that the distance between her and Celinina has not shrunk, but rather widened?

Why?!

But soon, she remembered something.

"You found a teacher..."

Lappland frowned, her expression serious.

In her view, her learning abilities were not much different from the other person's; it was only a month, and she shouldn't have fallen so far behind.

Clearly, the key to the problem lies in that single variable... that unknown teacher.

Lappland has had some exceptionally talented teachers in the past.

But whether they were seasoned warriors or renowned scholars, she could absorb their knowledge at an astonishing speed!

Because of this talent, there are indeed not many people in Siracusa today who are qualified to be her teacher.

When Salvadore told Celinina that she had found a good teacher, she didn't feel much about it.

After truly experiencing the changes in the two people's abilities in such a short period of time, she couldn't hold back any longer.

Can a person really improve so much in just less than a week of instruction?

This doesn't make sense!

"..." Celinina did not reply, but simply turned her head slightly to look at the bandage on the other person's hand.

The wound appeared to have been there recently, as the sudden strenuous activity had reopened it, and blood was seeping through the bandage, staining a large patch of crimson...

Lappland... is she injured?

You may need treatment.

Celinina's brow twitched slightly as she kindly offered a reminder.

Lappland saw this too, but instead she got angry.

"It doesn't matter!"

"... That makes a lot of sense!"

Celinina frowned.

She didn't know why, but when she saw the blood flowing from Lappland, her heart started racing.

She could feel her body getting hot... as if some switch had been turned on, and her body began to throb vigorously.

Tear her apart...

Tear her apart...

Let her blood stain this earth!

It felt as if another fire was burning in her throat, making it hard for her to breathe.

Celinina never imagined she would have such a terrible thought, but she knew there was definitely something wrong with it!

Therefore, sending Lappland to receive treatment was not only out of concern for Lappland, but also, more importantly, a form of self-suppression.

She clasped her hands tightly behind her back.

Her breathing became rapid, and her eyes gradually turned crazed.

When Lappland saw Celinina in such a posture, she was stunned for a moment, then grinned.

"Finally getting serious, Celinina!"

"It's better for both of us, Lappland. Please go get treatment... If you want to fight, I'll find time to fight you later, but not now!"

Celinina felt something rapidly awakening within her body; it was a very strange sensation.

It was as if there was another personality inside her, roaring at her.

One's own body seems to have become shackles, restricting the demon's escape.

The madness that permeated it chilled Celinina to the bone!

"No? Why not?"

Lappland was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation; she simply gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and assumed a fighting stance.

Celinina is indeed very strong, but she is not afraid at all.

She believed in her talent and her abilities, and her previous failures were mainly due to her arrogance.

Even now, she remains confident that she can defeat Celinina!

"..."

"... Come on, Celinina! Let's settle this once and for all!"

Lappland's expression became confident, and her eyes gradually hardened.

At this point, Texas's situation gradually began to spiral out of control...

Almost the instant Lappland declared war, she suddenly rushed out!

Wow, so fast!

Lappland stared wide-eyed at the girl who left a trail of afterimages in the air, and she felt a sudden, almost instinctive, palpitation.

But almost subconsciously, her body reacted.

With a low growl, she instantly retreated, raising her uninjured hand and aiming at the charging Celinina!

"Bang!"

With a swift punch, she slammed her fist into the other person's face.

You hit it!

Lappland's face lit up with surprise for a moment, but then she was taken aback.

Because she discovered that Celinina was not afraid of the attack at all; on the contrary, she became even angrier.

Her eyes turned somewhat bloodshot at this moment.

With a quick movement, she grabbed Lappland's hand, turned around, and appeared behind Lappland!

"Um?!"

Celinina's hands, like two snakes, almost smoothly slid across Lappland's arms and grabbed her shoulders!

The cold fingers sent shivers down Lappland's spine!

It was as if those fingers would pierce his neck at any moment.

No!

Realizing what was happening, Lappland jerked her elbow back sharply, trying to make her opponent stagger backward in pain.

But Celinina didn't react at all; her body was as hard as steel. When she punched Lappland, Lappland was the one who felt a little pain.

At that moment, Celinina's hands were already gripping her neck...

"You..."

Before Lappland could finish speaking, a terrifying force surged forth!

The intense feeling of suffocation caused her face to turn red rapidly, and soon after, it turned black.

Her talent is indeed outstanding, even terrifying.

Celinina's abilities improved so much while training with Maria, but she still managed to catch up with her in her own way.

However, the difference in their physical abilities was so great that her attacks were completely ineffective against Celinina.

A profound sense of death once again enveloped Lappland.

Her vision went black, and her body began to feel weak...

She tried to pry Celinina's hands off with her own, but... the opponent's strength at this moment far exceeded her expectations.

It can't be torn apart...

Furthermore, because this attempt had exhausted her already limited strength, Lappland's condition was deteriorating.

The feeling of death crept frantically toward her body, making her thoughts heavy and suffocating.

Am I... going to die?

A feeling of despair washed over her again, and Lappland's face grew increasingly grim.

But... this time, things are a little different.

In this death, her vision was no longer shrouded in darkness.

In the long, dark night, a figure... came into her view.

He can't die yet...

I... still need to find her...

At least... I should say... thank you to her...
