Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times Chapter 21.2

High Strength (2)

Therefore, after more than three minutes of silence, Rothgarr said impatiently: "Why are you still here? Today's class is over, you can go now."

Anna, who hadn't even been here for a quarter of an hour yet: "...Yes, Master Ulysses. Thank you very much for your generosity today."

She saluted and was just about to leave when she heard Rothgarr say, "Come at this time tomorrow still."

Anna replied, "Okay, my lord."

After leaving the small building, Anna's mood relaxed a little.

She was fortunate that she had met Dubian. Otherwise, if she had to rely only on this demon’s teachings, she was sure that it would be difficult for her to learn. Perhaps it would even cause the demon to become impatient and he would kill her directly.

Anna still hadn’t figured out why this demon suddenly changed his mind about teaching her to read. According to his usual motives...was this done to deliberately pull their relationship closer and cultivate some feelings to achieve  his ultimate goal of him proposing and her accepting?

But his attitude when teaching her was so poor! With this kind of attitude, even if he taught her for a hundred years, she would not be able to develop any affection with him.

Anna couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to. During the day, there was a demon to "cover for her", and at night, Dubian would teach her about being a mage. She hoped that such a good day like today would continue into the future.

When Anna returned to the kitchen, Rebecca was surprised at how quickly she returned. Anna knew that this matter with the demon would definitely spread. She was worried that the rumor of "Anna wastoo stupid that the mage master taught her for only a quarter of an hour before telling her to scram” would spread, so she hurriedly told Rebecca that she would be going the next day.

Ana sighed in her heart when she noticed the people around her who turned away from her gaze.

This was truly tiring.

The next day, when delivering food to the demon, Anna felt that the way he was looking at her felt off, but she couldn’t figure out what exactly was off. This made her very nervous when she was in front of him, and today, she acted more like an ordinary, dutiful maid than ever before.

It was not until the end of the day when she left the earl's mansion that Anna could finally breathe normally.

As usual, she went to the tavern to buy some food and drinks, and then quietly snuck into the ruins.

After Dubian finished eating, the first thing he did was check Anna's mastery of the basic characters. Anna didn't let him down either, passing the quiz perfectly.

Dubian said: "I will teach you some daily vocabulary first. It should be easier to remember the words that you use daily."

Anna didn’t care. After being poisoned by the demon's teaching skills, she thought that no matter how Dubian taught, he could still be rated as an excellent young teacher...

The lingua franca of this world did have a certain degree of similarity with English. There were twenty-two basic characters, and these basic characters could form different words. Words included nouns, verbs, prepositions, etc.; nouns were gendered, and verbs had a certain tense... Of course, the complexity was mainly in the written language; the spoken language was much more simplified.

To Anna, the grammar rules were slightly more complicated than English ones, but it wasn’t super difficult. It only took about half an hour before she had matched nearly a hundred spoken words to its written counterpart.

After today's literacy course was over was Anna's most anticipated meditation course.

Dubian said: "Our surroundings are full of various natural elements. Only those with elemental affinity can absorb them into their bodies. To control the natural elements that enter the body, you must have strong spiritual power. In addition to the slow, natural growth of spiritual power, it is mainly strengthened by meditation. The spiritual power of gifted mages not only naturally increases hundreds and thousands of times quicker than ordinary mages, but the effect of meditation is far better, too."

"Can the strength of spiritual power be measured?" Anna asked.

Dubian shook his head: "Except for the mage himself, it is difficult for others to know his spiritual strength. But the spiritual strength is generally similar to the corresponding level of the mage, so you can make a rough judgment from this."

Anna was a little disappointed at the moment. She didn't know if she had an elemental affinity, so naturally she couldn't know the strength of her spiritual power.

Seeing Anna's disappointment, Dubian comforted her: "Anna, your learning ability is very strong, so your spiritual power will not be weak."

Anna smiled at him. She wondered if this spiritual power was linked to IQ?

Dubian coughed and continued: "To cast a spell, in addition to having strong spiritual power to guide it, you must also build a spell circuit."

As he said this, Dubian drew a circle on the ground and added some lines in the middle.

"This is the most basic condensed circuit. Some natural elements have the characteristic of condensing and shining, and you can use this as a lighting spell." Dubian said, then smiled apologetically. “It works with dark elementals, but my spiritual power is too chaotic and it’s not convenient to cast spells right now, so I cannot demonstrate it to you."

Anna looked at the small "magic circuit.” The condensing circuit was very simple; she had already remembered it.
