Chapter 495 Fight Me
"Oh, there he is! Crowley!"
"Shut the hell up, stupid big brother! Why are you yelling in a restaurant?"
"Oh? Big Brother Adrian!, Instructor Fienna!"
"Aihh...you too! Stop yelling! Also, stop calling me instructor, I'm not an instructor anymore, big sister Fienna is fine."
Meeting his favorite instructor, from whom he had learned most of his combat techniques, naturally brought an excited expression to Shye's face, especially since he didn't expect to see her in Valenzia City.
"Hello, may I take your order?"
...After ordering a bunch of delectable stuff without holding back, it was finally time for the three of them to have a nice chat.
"I would never have expected to meet you at the Valenzia City Hall, instr– b-big sis Fienna. I get that Big Bro Adrian is an adamantite-ranked adventurer but why are you also here?"
"Hmm? Well, I was initially headed to Valenzia City after being promoted to my guild's main branch, but I was intercepted by some damned terrorists or bandits, or whatever they were, who tried to abduct me. Naturally, I killed them all, but I was seriously wounded and poisoned in the process. Since I didn't have the antidote for the specific type of poison they used, I nearly lost my life.
Fortunately, Dean Snowcrest found me just in time and gave me a high-grade all-cure antidote, which was extremely rare. In gratitude, I promised to serve as a combat instructor for six years."
"I see...so that's what happened...If you don't mind me asking, what is your adventurer rank right now, Big Sis Fienna?"
"I'm a recently promoted emerald. Since I failed to report to the main branch for years, they demoted me to ruby as punishment."
"HMMPH! No matter, my little sister is way more talented than me. it would only be a matter of time before she becomes an adamantite-ranked adventurer!"
Hearing Adrian's proud words, Shye couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
It seemed that Adrian doted on Fienna just as he did on Maia.
'Hahaha, big brothers will be big brothers!'
The guy was more proud of his little sister than Fienna was herself.
"What about you, Crowley? What are you doing in Valenzia?"
"O-Oh, right! Didn't you tell me that you've been promoted to the main branch already?!" Adrian suddenly answered with a shocked expression.
Hearing her big brother's words, Fienna's eyes widened in utter shock and disbelief.
If another person told such heroic stories, people would laugh at the guy for being delusional.
As for Fienna, however, there was a bittersweet feeling in her heart. She knew that her student wasn't a lying phony, meaning that everything he told her was true.
If so, then it meant that he had already surpassed her.
In the past, despite Crowley's talents, he always ended up as her training dummy, enduring numerous slashes and stabs from her wooden sword.
But now, it seemed that such things couldn't happen again.
She knew she couldn't defeat her student anymore, yet, she didn't want to run away. She wanted to face the truth head-on.
Fienna herself was a prideful talented youngster who was a once-in-a-millenia genius.
Hence, it was quite difficult for her to accept that she had been surpassed.
However, since Shye was her student, there was this tinge of happiness deep inside her.

She didn't like it as she was a competitive person, but it ended up being the lone solace she could find inside her heart.
"Hey, Crowley."
"Yes, Big Sis Fienna?"
"Fight me."
"W-What?"
"I said fight me. I want to see your progress."
Seeing her serious disposition, Shye knew he couldn't refuse.
Perhaps his beloved instructor wanted to test if she had already been surpassed by her student, or perhaps she simply wanted to spar with a formidable opponent; either way, Shye had to face her in combat.
Otherwise, he felt that she would somehow drift away.
"Alright then. I won't hold back, big sister."
"My thoughts exactly."
