"That Scathach is truly ruthless..." Morgan Le Fay's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the staff in Asher's hand, a hint of surprise in her heart. She hadn't expected this woman to be so decisive. Asher had been hesitant, not wanting to absorb the magic within the weapon for fear of damaging it.
But Scathach had simply broken the staff and given it to Asher, leaving him no choice. With such a resolute action... would her position in Ash's heart be shaken? Morgan looked at the young man beside her and indeed saw a look of emotion on his face, as if reminiscing about the past. In this moment, she could only see Scathach in Asher's eyes.
This woman... is truly difficult to deal with. Morgan thought to herself.
"Shishou, you shouldn't have done that..." Asher looked up at Scathach's face, his eyes flickering slightly, seemingly deeply touched.
Scathach's eyes held a smile. She raised a hand to caress Asher's head, smiling and shaking her head. "It's alright, I don't need it anyway. Don't burden yourself too much."
"But..." Asher hesitated, seemingly wanting to say more.
"It's alright. If you truly feel apologetic, then work hard to repay me," Scathach said with a gentle smile, her eyes full of indulgence.
"But what if I can't further resonate with this weapon and can't absorb the magic within it...?" "Wouldn't breaking this weapon be pointless then?" He felt a familiar connection to the weapon, but what if absorbing that tree branch earlier was just a fluke? Or what if after absorbing that branch, he couldn't absorb any other similar branches, perhaps because he was saturated...?
Wouldn't this weapon then be wasted for nothing? Because he had just tried, and it seemed he really couldn't absorb it.
"..." Scathach was stunned by her disciple's words. Is it still too late to drag this unfilial disciple out and discipline him? Morgan, on the side, was also stunned, then couldn't help but let out a "pfft" laugh, covering her mouth. Hmm... this child is truly straightforward.
Scathach glared at Morgan with anger in her eyes, then composed herself as much as possible and said, "It's alright. If you can't absorb it, just keep it for now. Since it resonates with you, you might be able to discover some secrets from it."
"Moreover, do you really think I would break this weapon without considering the possibility of you not being able to absorb it?" Scathach asked calmly. "You are mistaken," she shook her head. "This is to show you my resolve. As your Shishou, I don't want you to be so cautious even with me."
"If our relationship still requires such timidity, it would disappoint me." Scathach's face regained a faint smile as she finished speaking, her gaze at Asher filled with tenderness. Why do I feel like Shishou didn't even think that far ahead just now...? Asher grumbled inwardly. But now, he couldn't press the matter further. He could only look at the staff broken in two in his hand and nod heavily. "I understand. I will not disappoint Shishou's expectations."
"That's good," Scathach nodded gently. Morgan Le Fay watched the scene, silently complimenting them with a "tsk tsk."
Should I say she's worthy of being a Teacher? She can smooth things over even in such a situation. Even if Asher knows it might just be an excuse, he'll still be touched, right? ...No wonder he was so devoted to his Teacher a few years ago.
"Alright, since you've already discussed it, why don't you try it tonight?" Morgan interrupted their conversation, her gaze falling back on the woman's face before her. "Do you remember today's agreement?" Scathach's earlier gentle smile faded. Her gaze met Morgan Le Fay's, but she ultimately sighed softly, looking at Asher, who was currently holding the two pieces of the staff.
"Disciple, try your best tonight. Tell me the results tomorrow, whether you succeed or not."
"I understand," Asher nodded seriously.
"I believe in you." Scathach gently patted Asher's head, then walked out of the room without even glancing at Morgan. Although she knew this woman definitely had ulterior motives, she couldn't bring herself to go back on her word now. Having agreed to Morgan, if she went back on it now, she herself wouldn't be able to accept it.
"Don't worry, I'll protect him well tonight." Morgan's voice came from behind. Scathach's footsteps paused slightly but ultimately left the room. After seeing Scathach leave, Morgan's gaze quickly returned to Asher.
Looking at Asher, who was sitting at the head of the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly trying to absorb the staff, Morgan turned, closed the door, walked to the head of the bed, sat down, and waited patiently.
Not until she felt he had returned from his meditation did Morgan ask, "How is it? Did you feel that special magic flowing into your body again?"
Asher shook his head, sighed softly, and slowly opened his eyes. "Although I felt that magic, I can't absorb it."
"That's why I said Shishou broke it too early..." Asher said somewhat helplessly. He felt like he had wasted a weapon for his Shishou for nothing. If he couldn't absorb it, wouldn't that be a huge sin?
"Let me see." Morgan's shoulder rested against Asher's. Her full, proud chest naturally pressed against Asher's arm. She picked up one half of the staff and observed it carefully. Asher's brain, which had just been seriously contemplating the reason, slightly dulled. Feeling Morgan's full softness touching his arm, even through a layer of fabric, made his heart flutter.
"Hmm..." Morgan made a soft sound, as if she had noticed something.
"What is it? Did you find anything special?" Asher pretended not to feel the softness from his arm, trying hard not to look at those alluring curves, and turned to ask.
"It feels just right in length after being broken in half," Morgan said seriously.
Asher: "..."
"Just kidding, just kidding." Morgan also sensed Asher's somewhat speechless glance. She waved the staff in her hand, pondering for a moment. "This weapon shouldn't be your Shishou's, right?"
"I don't know... Shishou didn't say," Asher shook his head.
"I don't think it's her weapon," Morgan said with a playful smile. "Your Shishou is a battle maniac. How could she fight others with something like this? Would she hit people over the head with a staff?"
"That sounds a bit stupid..." Asher muttered. Come to think of it, he had never seen Morgan engage in close combat with enemies. She always stood far away, merely moving her lips, and then various light contaminations would burst forth across the sky.
"Although I don't know how your Shishou got this weapon, she definitely has no use for it." "So," Morgan placed the staff back in Asher's hand, and her slender, cool fingers stroked his face. "Even if you can't absorb it, don't feel guilty or sorry towards your Shishou. Just take your time."
Asher looked at the woman sitting beside him, involuntarily stunned. Morgan had said all that, just to tell him not to feel too burdened? He felt a bit surprised... Did Morgan Le Fay actually have such a meticulous side?
