Sister

Several minutes later,

As she walked through the dark hills in the middle of the night, Beatrice still couldn't help but feel some tension in her heart, even though she knew that she had scouted out the entirety of the hills just before.

Of course, the last of Beatrice's tension melted away the moment she gazed up at the small house sitting on top of a hill

At this moment, Beatrice suddenly sped up, as she suddenly began climbing the cliff at a fast speed, reaching its top in only a few moments.

The first thing that greeted Beatrice once she reached the top of the hill was her teacher, who right now, was still sitting on her chair.

"That was even better than expected, it looks like you are already used to standing in the shadows, let's go, staying here any longer would be meaningless," said Selena as she looked at her disciple, feeling quite surprised.

At first, Selena had thought that Beatrice needed to obtain some combat experience, but after seeing how she killed her four targets, those thoughts were instantly expelled from her mind.

As such, Selena decided to cut this part of Beatrice's training short, preferring to go back to her home and to continue letting Beatrice practice magic peacefully.

"Yes, teacher," said Beatrice, as she watched her teacher get up, causing the house behind her to suddenly disappear.

"Very well then, let's go," said Selena as she began walking away, prompting Beatrice, who was looking in a certain direction from the corner of her eyes, to begin following her.

Seeing this, a small smile appeared on Selena's face.

"Although it's a good thing that you noticed them, letting your old and fragile teacher take care of cleaning out bugs is not very nice," mumbled Selena, as suddenly, two bodies fell to the ground below her.

A moment later, the two bodies suddenly began rotting, before turning into ash in only a few moments.

Hearing her teacher's words, Beatrice couldn't help but breathe a silent sigh of relief.

'Although it restricts my freedom somewhat, having someone as powerful as her teacher following me is not so bad,' thought Beatrice, knowing full well that if she had wanted to fight the two, it would have probably been a life and death battle.

"Understood teacher, disciple will take better care next time," said Beatrice, causing Selena to slightly chuckle, clearly not believing her words.

"Well, let's go," mumbled Selena as she took another look at her cute disciple before beginning to walk away, being followed by Beatrice.

...

Two days later,

Staring at the small hill standing in the middle of the swamp, Beatrice's lips couldn't help but twitch.

"Teacher, isn't this too obvious, wouldn't someone find this place," asked Beatrice, watching as a hole suddenly appeared in the hill, causing a set of small stairs to form.

"At least so far, no one has discovered this place, so you can make of that what you will," said Selena as she walked into the hill alongside Beatrice, causing stone to appear behind her, once again concealing the stairs.

"Well that's good," mumbled Beatrice in a low voice, causing Selena to take another look at her disciple from the corner of her eyes, before letting out another small chuckle, feeling like her disciple was becoming funnier and funnier as time passed.

"You go study, I need to do something," said Selena, touching Beatrice's forehead with a smirk on her face before disappearing.

'She's becoming more friendly,' thought Beatrice as she walked through the halls of this underground abode, feeling a little weird, especially from her teacher's last touch.

Of course, Beatrice simply ignored this weird thought, as she quickly walked back to her room.

...

Staring at the huge door in front of her, the small smile present on Selena's face slowly vanished, being replaced by a longing look.

Without any hesitation, Selena suddenly pressed her hand on the door, causing it to suddenly glow blue before disappearing, allowing Selena to walk into the small room that the door guarded.

The moment Selena entered the room, she walked up to the large rectangular box in the middle of the room, touching it's top.

As Selena touched the top of the rectangular box, the top of the box began slowly but surely rising, revealing it's insides.

Inside of the box lay a woman with pure white hair as well as a pale face.

Suddenly Selena took out a bottle filled with a colourless liquid from the insides of her robe, as she touched the cold cheek of the woman.

At this moment, the mouth of the woman suddenly opened, as Selena controlled it with her mind.

After this, Selena then began gently feeding the colorless liquid to the corpse, causing it's coldness to slightly lessen somewhat.

The moment Selena finished feeding the liquid to the corpse, she sat down on the side of the coffin with a smile on her face.

"Sister, this time, I found a new apprentice that looks somewhat like you, she's really quite cute although she isn't as gentle as you, I'm sure that you would have liked her," mumbled Selena, staring at the corpse, that looked a lot like Beatrice.

"If she ever meets you, I'm sure that she will like you as well with how much you look like her, with how self-centered she is," mumbled Selena letting out a little chuckle as she thought about the scene of her disciple meeting her sister, causing an image of Beatrice to suddenly appear in front of the eyes of the corpse.

"If you hold on, I'm sure that she will meet you, as I need only a few more years at most to bring you back, so you better hold on sister, I can keep bringing you as many souls as you need," mumbled Selena, touching the cheek of the corpse.

...

At this moment, Beatrice, who had sunk her head into a certain book, suddenly raised her eyes, feeling as if something was wrong.
