Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? Chapter 944 Celeste and Glen's Improvements

Chapter 944 Celeste and Glen's Improvements

"Hgnn!" Stretching her body, Shiro yawned as she glanced at the time.
"Mn? Oh it's only been an hour. There's another two hours to go." She muttered. Looking around the room, she found it a little strange that neither Glen nor Celeste was in the bed.
"Eh? Shouldn't they be sleeping right now?"
Furrowing her brows, Shiro stood up and massaged her neck.
For an hour's worth of sleep, she felt strangely refreshed.
Noticing a few spikes of mana in a nearby training hall, Shiro realised that it was Nimue, Glen and Celeste.
"Hmm… they only have two hours worth of rest why is she sparing with them? I thought she's the one who wanted me to give them more rest." Shiro muttered.
Walking over to the training hall, she opened the door.
*BANG!!!!
Just as she did this, Celeste was slammed into the wall as she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Again! I thought I told you to not charge in defenceless! A shoddy defence is no different from no defence!" Nimue's voice boomed out as there was a whirlpool centred around Nimue in the middle of the training hall. While this was happening, she was holding Glen up by the shirt and slammed him into the ground.
"????????" Widening her eyes, Shiro was taken aback.
"U- Understood!!!!!!" Celeste shouted out after being healed.
There was blood all over her body but she was constantly being healed.
Slamming both hands down, a red aura exploded out of her body as it seemed to mimic the look of a monster.
Gritting her teeth, Celeste charged at Nimue in her berserk state.
"Hmph!" Flicking her wrist, a tidal wave exploded forth in an attempt to bury her under the water.
"URAHH!!" Crying out in anger, black and red energy wrapped around her claws as she ripped the tidal wave apart with her mana.
Just as this happened, another torrent of water appeared as it threatened to hit her in the face.
*KISH!!!!!
Before that could happen, Glen managed to intercept the wave with his blade.
Gritting his teeth, mana erupted out of his body as he slashed horizontally with his blade.
*KRRRRR!!!!
Noticing faint slash marks on the walls of the training hall, Shiro was a little surprised since this couldn't be damaged easily otherwise she wouldn't have used this as a training hall.
"What's your follow up! Are you satisfied with just stopping one attack out of many?" Nimue shouted out as a pillar of water shot up from under them, slamming them into the ceiling.
"GAH!!!" Crying out in pain, Glen gritted his teeth and used the ceiling as a launchpad.
*BANG!!!!
Dashing towards Nimue, he readied his sword and slashed towards her vertically.
Side stepping the slash with ease, Nimue noticed Celeste running along the walls on all fours while looking for a chance to attack her.
"Are you just going to keep watching! If there is no opening, MAKE ONE!" Nimue lecture. Slamming her hand down, waves slammed into her body, pressing her against the wall.
*CRACK!!!!!
Flinching slightly, Shiro knew that she heard Celeste's bones break with that attack but it was healed up quickly.
'Ouch. And here she was complaining about me going hard on them.' Shiro sighed.
"Fine I'll make an opening then!!" Glen shouted out.
Grabbing his sword with both hands, his muscles tensed up as veins could be seen.
*BANG!!!!
His aura exploded forth as Shiro wanted to clap in appreciation. However, she didn't want to break their concentration.
"Do you think people will let you charge an attack like that!"
Slamming her hand down, a magic circle appeared beneath Glen but before it could activate, Celeste slammed both her hands down.
*CRACK!!
Fracturing the floor as well as her fists, she managed to disrupt the magic circle.
But this didn't stop Nimue from sending another attack.
Snapping her fingers, 10 orbs of water appeared as streams of water shot towards Glen.
Dashing forward, Celeste tanked all of the attacks even if they damaged her heavily.
"DUCK!" Glen shouted out.
Crouching down immediately, Celeste watched as a thin wave of energy exploded in a circle as Nimue's waves were cut in half immediately.
Turning a portion of her body into snow, Shiro raised an eyebrow at the attack since the damage was impressive but it would never hit someone like Nimue.
And as expected, with her body turning to water, the attack completely missed her.
"What now? Your frontline is damaged and that attack took almost everything you have. With no guarantee, you were provoked by me and wasted your energy. How will you fight now?" Nimue asked as she appeared next to the two of them.
Before they could attack her, chains made from water wrapped around their body and pinned them to the ground.
"Did Shiro teach you about using big attacks without any guarantee?" Nimue narrowed her eyes as Glen gritted his teeth.
"Now now, don't be so harsh. For just an hour of training, they've been performing quite well. It's a huge improvement." Shiro interfered since it was quite impressive that they've managed to improve this much.
"Ha? It's been two days. What the hell do you mean a single hour?" Nimue raised an eyebrow as Shiro paused mid step.
"Pardon? It's been two days?" She asked, not sure if she heard it properly.
"Yes, it's been two days. You were so exhausted that you've been sleeping for two days. I've taken over your lessons for you in the meantime. Despite what you said, you're still a bit too soft on them." Nimue shook her head as she returned to the mana realm.
Shaking her head softly, Shiro crouched near the two and healed them with life fire.
"Are you alright?" She asked softly since the two days must have been like hell.
"Wuuuu…. She's scary. I'm sorry I won't think that you're the devil anymore!!" Celeste cried out as tears fell. Hugging Shiro like she's the last bastion of hope, Celeste refused to let go.
Sighing softly, Shiro patted her head and tried to comfort her. Looking over at Glen, Shiro could see that he was a little affected by what had just happened.
"Don't worry too much. A lot of it is experience. You'll get better at analysing the battle the more you fight. That's what the theory lessons are for." Shiro comforted as Glen nodded his head.
"Don't rush it. Most of our power has been built up over time. Nimue has watched me fight for almost a year. She's heard all of my thoughts during battle so it's only natural that she'll pick up a thing or two."
"I'll practice more so I can proudly call myself your student. I can't bring shame to the goddess by losing so easily." Glen nodded as he stood up.
Seeing this, Shiro smiled since his will power was still burning brightly.
"Oi Celeste, are you going to keep hugging the goddess like that? We need to practice so that we can beat Nimue next time." Glen furrowed his brows as Celeste thought about it for a moment before glancing back at him.
"You practice. I wanna hug the goddess. She's warm." Celeste pouted as Shiro laughed.
"Fine fine. You two can have a break. Sparring against Nimue must have been tough huh?" Shiro patted Celeste's head.
Snapping her fingers, she made a small kitchen and cooked them a quick meal.
###
For the next few days, training the two became easier since they focused on the lessons, fearing that Nimue would be their trainer again.
Celeste became used to using feints and knew which attacks she should block for Glen and which ones she should ignore. She is also able to control her energy better so that her berserk state lasted longer.
As for Glen, he became more analytical on the battlefield. Knowing when to attack and when to back off. He was patient and didn't rush no matter what he heard and it reflected in his sword style. Over all, both have made vast improvements in their training.
Funnily enough, they have also somewhat mastered the sleep walk to the next lesson that Shiina had told them about. While they didn't sleep, they were able to rest as muscb as possible while making their way to the training halls.
Soon, there was only a week left till the relic appeared and Shiro received a message from both Madison and Isilia.
The system had given them a single map which showed their current location and a path to where the relic will appear with the following message.
[In a weeks time, the first Rainbow Relic will appear in this Garden. Wishing all Queens good luck.]
Now that their path has been shown, Shiro immediately set course to the location shown on the map.
Unfortunately, her soul had not healed up fully. According to Mio, it would take her more than a week, maybe two to recover back to her full strength so they'll need to be careful about the following fight.
