[19] August's Shattered Performance!

Bang~

The tip of the wooden sword stabbed directly into August's stomach.

A mouthful of water instantly spewed out.

At this point, describing August as covered in scars was an understatement.

"Cough~, Miss Ais, it seems that I'm still too weak."

"No, you're already good enough. If it were another level one person, they would have been knocked down by me long ago and wouldn't be able to get up."

This sentence made August's mouth twitch.

Do you even know how ruthless you are? Are you teaching yourself swordsmanship?

This is just bullying and abusing the weak.

"I feel truly honored that I haven't fallen even in this state."

At this moment, August was truly at a loss. If he had known, he wouldn't have agreed to Ais.

It would have been better to find Finn. Finn, as an experienced level six, would definitely be more considerate in his approach than Ais.

Hiss~

Just as he stood up, the pain on his body made cold sweat break out on August's forehead.

Indeed, every part of his body was in pain. But the problem was that all of them were just minor injuries. At most, it was muscle strain. Forget about serious injuries, at most, it was a bit of pain.

Taking out a can of coke, August opened it directly and drank it all in one go.

Gulp~

On the side, Ais, seeing the coke, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This unknown beverage was the best she had ever tasted, though not as top-notch as some of the best juices and drinks. It had a unique flavor that she really liked.

"Hmm?"

August was also attracted by this sudden sound.

Looking up, he saw Ais staring straight at the coke in his hand. August couldn't help but smile.

Although she was powerful, fundamentally, she was still just a girl.

"This is for you."

August then took out another can and tossed it to Ais.

Ais skillfully pulled the tab of the coke and took small sips.

Compared to August, who finished it in one go, Ais seemed very ladylike.

"This guy actually uses things to bribe Lady Ais."

Seeing Ais skillfully accepting what August handed over, Lefiya couldn't help but envy.

How she wished Ais could accept things from her like this. It really made her envious and jealous.

After August finished the coke, he took out some healing potions and applied them bit by bit on his body.

Originally, there were just some ordinary bruises and strains. With the healing effect of the potion, they quickly healed.

This was one of the benefits of being in a magical world. If this were in the modern world, these injuries would take at least three to five days to heal.

But with this healing potion, it was just a matter of applying it a little, and most of it recovered.

The only downside was that it was expensive.

Even the most basic healing potions cost a thousand Valis, and that was for the lowest-effect, lowest-potency potions.

August's potions were three thousand Valis each.

Above that, there were potions that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

For example, Elixir, a potion that could quickly heal most injuries, even large burns and torn wounds. Just one bottle could instantly restore everything to its original state.

But the price was also "good". In Babel, it was priced at a whopping five hundred thousand valis.

"Need more?"

Looking at August's considerably healed injuries, Ais continued.

"No, I'm still too weak now. Let me become stronger first. Otherwise, I'll always be treated as a sandbag, and my improvement won't be much."

"Alright."

Ais nodded without much thought.

August sighed as he watched. This girl was just too easy to believe in others. Whatever others said, she believed.

He wouldn't have agreed if he had known earlier. It would have been better to find Finn.

"Hey, what did you give Lady Ais to drink just now? Don't you know that Lady Ais won't drink some low-end beverage?"

At this time, Lefiya also approached and directly launched an attack on August.

"But, I saw Ais quite satisfied with it."

Turning around, August saw Ais drinking the coke, not just happily but with a smile on her face.

At this moment, Lefiya was stuck.

"This is yours."

August then took out another can and handed it to Lefiya.

"I don't want it, your things."

Although she said so, could you stop staring at it with a sidelong glance? August really wanted to laugh.

Pointing out some tsundere attributes, Lefiya was now displaying them vividly.

"No, it's okay."

Saying this, August directly opened it and took a sip.

Seeing August, Lefiya's veins were about to pop. What kind of man are you? If a girl doesn't want it, you don't give it to her.

"Ah. Refreshing."

After drinking a sip of coke, August expressed his feelings without concealing them.

The more he did this, the angrier Lefiya became.

This was clearly intentional, he intentionally drank it to show her.

"Y-You scoundrel."

Lefiya, who had suffered such treatment, suddenly became extremely angry, and there was even a hint of grievance.

As a rising star of the familia, she was well taken care of in the familia. When had she ever encountered such a thing?

"Then I'll give you another can. Do you want it?"

August then took out another can of coke.

This scene made Lefiya even more irritated. Having a space skill was really amazing.

"Yes, I don't want it for nothing. It's a waste to let you drink it all by yourself."

Saying this, Lefiya directly grabbed the coke that August handed over. Trying to open it imitating August, she found that she couldn't open it.

For a while, the scene was a bit quiet and a bit awkward.

"That pull-tab on the top is broken. Just pull it open, and you're good."

"Annoying, I know."

The elf's face turned red, and she shouted angrily.

Bang~

The next second, with the broken pull-tab pulled open, coke gushed out like a fountain.

Lefiya was instantly drenched.

"August, I'm going to kill you."

Seeing August laughing on the side, how could she not know that he was teasing her.

Immediately, she pounced on August.

"Hey, don't come over. I'm still an injured person, and I have wounds on my body."

"Go to hell, evil."

"Ahh..."

August, who is one step away from death, suffered a heavy blow from the infuriated elf.
