Yasenia didn't lower her guard until she confirmed that it was dead. Then turned towards Anne and Eve with her tail wagging behind her back like a child wanting to be praised. Although that expression and actions were truly hard to resist, they still answered truthfully.

Anne said "Your first frontal charge was completely unnecessary, especially against an enemy that has a poisonous breath attack. You were just lucky it didn't use it." An arrow pierced Yasenias heart and her tail dropped sadly. They almost went forward to hug her! But, with their trained wills they stopped themselves.

Eve was even more ruthless "What was that jump that you did next? Even if it looks good... Can you change directions in the air? Can you even exert half of the strength you can on the ground? Completely unnecessary!" Now even Yasenia's expression was sad. Anne almost stopped her sister from speaking!

However, chanting in her head that this was for her miss well-being! Eve continued, "Worse, after you opened a wound on its back why didn't you latch into the open wound with your barbed tail and ripped its spine off? You could have won there. Not to mention, after blocking that tail you did another frontal assault! Good for you that this Komodo dragon was stupid or you would have been in trouble!" Yasenia was already on all fours because of all the damage she took.

Anna continued "Your redeeming point is the last attack, using your sword to lower its head and then piercing its eye with your tail was good... Of course, that is only if your opponent didn't have a poisonous breath attack! What would you have done if instead of roaring in pain it responded by spraying your face full of poison, huh?" Yasenia was crying and pleading guilty. Oliver at the side was rolling on the ground laughing so hard his stomach hurt!

After that Yasenia got up and sat by the fire eating the half-finished food that was already cold because of the time her spiritual beating took. Anna went behind her and started massaging her shoulders "Miss this is only your third real life and death battle, it is already very good, things like thinking about cutting the spine, making faints, and then aiming at the weak points, not to mention the reaction speed when you protected against its tail are already extremely good" Yasenia leaned backward because of comfort and used her tail as a balancing measure to continue to eat while getting massaged.

Eve continued "Not to mention, your opponent was a middle-level rank 2 beast. You have to remember that a beast must be attacked by at least three people of the same level. Miss, you winning or even being able to fight evenly in a strength contest against these kinds of beasts is already abnormal. If I had to describe your combat style, I would call it a humanoid dragon. Not only your strength is abnormal, but the flexibility that your tail gives you in combat is also absurd. Making you like an all-rounded fighter that, instead of average, is good at everything."

Yasenia responded languidly with a smile "En, continue praising." Anna and Eve chuckled and even Oliver joined making the atmosphere lively. After they finished dinner Yasenia went to cultivate taking advantage of the twilight and midnight then she went to sleep. Oliver went to sleep after asking some things Anna and Eva about cultivation.

Like that they advanced towards the Rita academy. When they were nearing the end of the forest, Anna and Eve stopped the cart and looked to the left. Eve said "Miss, there is an injured person two or three kilometers to your left. What should we do?"

Yasenia didn't rush to make a decision and asked "Why are they injured, can you tell from here?" This time Anna responded "Yes, it seems that the majority of her injuries are caused by beasts. She also has an arrow stuck on her shoulder. From here I can't tell if it is poisoned or not. She is a very beautiful female, but her robes seem intact excluding the beast scratches, so this probably wasn't done to sexually assault her. The robes seem to have the Rising Talent Academy spiritual mark."

Yasenia was guessing that she was either ambushed by an enemy or betrayed by her companions. She felt a little empathy and said "Anna, go get her and carry her to the carriage. We will heal her enough to get her out of her critical state, remember to not heal her completely we don't know if this is a trap." Anna answered respectfully "As the Miss says!" and she disappeared from the spot.

Ten seconds later she has already returned carrying the girl "The arrow is indeed poisonous, it seems to be concocted by a Thousand poisons valley cultivator. It is a Yang attributed poison; this girl has an extreme Yin physique so this kind of poison is very harmful if not taken care of completely."

Yasenia knowing that both of these sisters were excellent healers didn't doubt them, not only are extremely knowledgeable in medicine and poisons, both of them are Nature, Wood, and Light triple attribute cultivators, making them extremely suitable healers.

In the past, they were picked up by Dr. Ava and since then, the two have followed her everywhere. Tatyana, after seeing this master-apprentice trio decided to take them under her wing. This happened more than 300 years ago.

"Can you heal her enough that there won't be repercussions on her future? Also, take into account that she doesn't recover her strength when she wakes up." Both Anna and Eve nodded in praise for her thoughtfulness and Eve answered "Easily".

After that, they continued their travel with an additional girl. Anna has already used a one-time-use cloth mending formation stone, they weren't very valuable and they had thousands with them. After they cleaned her a little they couldn't help but appreciate this beauty. Previously, the dirt around her face and body covered her beauty but now that she was cleaned her beautiful face made an appearance.

This girl had a nice 175 cm of height and icy blue hair that reaches below her knees with a pair of narrow yet cold light blue eyes. Her facial features seem to have frozen since even her lips have a light blue shade yet, she is very beautiful giving an ethereal feeling and refreshing fragrance as if she were made of ice. She wears white simple cultivation robes and a pair of blue shoes. Yasenia couldn't help but guess that she is probably an Ice element cultivator.

Cecile opened her eyes and thought calmly like it wasn't even herself she was talking about 'It seems I didn't die. I managed to kill the ambusher, but the beasts truly made me miserable. I also was poisoned, oh... it seems I healed. Why did the beasts flee when they had me cornered?' Then she looked around and her sight froze looking at a spot.

Right there a pair of golden slit eyes with a tinge of red around the pupils were looking at her. The little mole under the left eye and the slight upward curve of her eyes added seductiveness and charm to that person. Her mouth was rising slightly in a natural yet lazy smile and the devilish body of that person trapping one sight like her appearance had gravitational power. The air is filled with a sweet floral scent that makes one head a little dizzy but extremely comfortable. 'A beauty that can ruin a country with her countenance.'

That was the first impression of Cecile about Yasenia. Cecile continued looking until Yasenia opened her mouth. The voice languid and unhurried, making the person's bones go soft. "It seems that you woke up. We found you in the forest and decided to take you with us. We are going to the Rita state, do you want to come with us?"

After hearing her speaking Cecile woke up from the spell and for the first time, she felt slightly flustered. However, she calmed herself very fast and answered with a clear yet cold voice "I will go with you if it isn't a bother." Yasenia responded with a soft "En." and turned to look out of the window.

Only then did Cecile start to look around, she saw a handsome boy that was looking at her with curiosity, the carriage seems to be normal, yet the number of enchantments it had was enough to know that the people here had some kind of position and they weren't nobodies.

Oliver opened his mouth asking cheerfully "So? What is your name? Did you come to this forest alone for any reason? Little sis' said that you were probably either ambushed or betrayed which one is it?" Cecile started to feel a little dizzy about the machinegun speed questions and raised one hand to ask him to stop!

Cecile said with her cool voice "My name is Cecile, the reason I came to this forest was to do a mission from the Rising Talent Academy, I was ambushed, not betrayed." She didn't bother to answer the rest and started to absorb energy to recover herself.

Oliver felt that she won't answer any more questions so, he got out of the carriage and went to tell Anna and Eve about it. Cecile opened her eyes and suddenly caught the sight of a tail and again for the first time in her life she was surprised. Yasenia felt someone's gaze on her tail and moved it a little while she turned to look at Cecile.

She playfully used her tail tip in its soft state to pat Cecile on the head while speaking "What never seen a tail in your life?" Cecile feeling comfortable from the patting answered honestly but her expression was as deadpan as before and her voice didn't have any changes "At least not in a person" Yasenia was slightly disappointed "So even in the Academy there isn't someone with different traits compared to humans?"

"No, the things that change the most are hair, eye, or skin color. I haven't seen anyone with beast traits" Sensing the tail leaving her head, she felt a strange sense of loss. "Did you have it since birth? Also, your pupils are vertical, do you see differently with them compared to other people? What can you do with your tail?"

Yasenia was a little surprised, she thought that Cecile will be like those Ice Queens, silent and still as an iceberg. To her surprise, Cecile was completely blunt. How did my mother call this type of person? A kerude? No... A Kuudere! Her mother liked this type a lot...(Author: Dear Yasenia! Tatyana's exact words were 'I really like breaking this type a lot' But your love blinded brain ignored the most important word!) Yasenia felt slightly bored because of the long travel, so, she started teasing Cecile "I will answer you if you smile for me"

Cecile was confused, but she tried to smile, TRIED because the thing she did was a face uglier than crying! Yasenia laughed unabashedly "Your smile is so adorable! Hahaha" then she used her tail to warped It around Cecile's waist to bring her closer and she started playing with her cheeks "to smile you have to do this!" Then she pulled her lips with her fingers.

Dear Yasenia didn't know that right now the poor girl was suffering a frontal assault of her smiling appearance, scent, and soft hands sending Cecile's thoughts in disarray!

Seeing that the person didn't react Yasenia tilted her head and asked cutely "What happened?" Cecile felt something hit her heart so hard that it did a big *Thump* and for the first time she lost her calm mind 'How can you do that kind of face! Doing a cute tilting face with your seductive features is against the rules! And why the hell do you smell so good!?'

Yasenia, seeing that the person near her was having trouble, remembered her mother's warnings about her scent towards unaccustomed people, and hastily put Cecile away with her tail. She asked tentatively "Are you okay?" Cecile cleared her mind and after remembering her recent thoughts her cheeks slightly blushed.

Yasenia opened the curtains and let fresh air in, at the same time that Cecile was about to speak Oliver returned. "Little sis'! we can already see the academy on the horizon!" Yasenia looked outside and gasped in surprise "Academy!? Isn't that as big as the Moon empire capital!?" Oliver said, "This must be why people call it Rita state instead of academy... Look at that tower, it is so tall that it is piercing the clouds!" Yasenia was completely awed.
