I Knew I Shouldn’t Have Taken This Mission

‘Finally, it’s over.’ Ethan sighed in relief as their Martial Arts Instructor, Sir Lionel, declared the end of the second batch of mock battles.

Ethan didn’t completely come out of this battle scot-free because his classmates weren’t that weak. Not to mention, there wasn't much he could do since he was unable to use any kind of Magic.

Some were able to land their hits on him after getting past his defenses.

But due to his strong body constitution and Nicole’s timely assistance, he was able to shrug off the weaker spells that had managed to land on his body.

Overall, this mock battle helped Ethan better understand that he would need to be more resourceful when fighting large groups on his own.

Of course, if he had Magical Powers when fighting them, things would have ended differently.

“Good job taking that punishment,” Nicole commented as she patted Ethan’s shoulder. “Why didn’t you use Magic?”

“Have you forgotten that I’m a Dud?” Ethan replied. “Duds can’t use magic.”
