Chapter 94 Training 1
[Rose’s P.O.V.)
I got up very early and so did Edward. Today was my first day of training and he wanted to be with me to see what my training was like. I was also very curious about it.
Alonso had asked us to meet in the empty space behind the castle. When I saw him, he was no longer dressed like a little gentleman like yesterday. Instead, he was wearing an old robe that looked like a sack. There were some things in front of him – a book, a glass cup, and some other small items.
“Let me see how many abilities you have mastered. Move them.” He pointed at those things.
“How?”
I looked at him, genuinely clueless. Although I understood every word he said, I didn’t know what to do.
“You don’t know how to move objects without touching them? Alpha told me that you could do it when you were very young.”
“I don’t know how I did it at that time either. I don’t even remember picking things up.”
“Looks like you’re much weaker than I thought,” said he casually with a shrug but his words made me feel uncomfortable.
“I’ve never had any training. In fact, I just found out that I’m a Werewolf of Chaos not long ago.”
“How about you say that to Nicholas when you face him and see if he’ll let you off because of this.”
I glanced at Edward, but he didn’t have any intention of helping me. He only nodded encouragingly.
“So what do I do?” asked I again.
“Focus on moving the book where you want it
to go.”
It sounded like a joke. Plus, wasn’t this what wizards and witches do? How could I, even as young as as a few years old, have done something like this?
I calmed down, focused my attention, and tried to move the book. But no matter what, the d*mn book just stayed in its spot unmoving. If someone was next to me, they might think I was an idiot for glaring so hard at a the book on the ground.
As time passed, no matter how hard I gritted my teeth and imagined lifting the book, it just felt like the book was welded to the ground. I could feel myself getting a little impatient.
“Forget the book. Move the cup. It’s lighter.” Alonso gave me a new assignment.
I shifted my gaze from the book to the cup, but they seemed to have form an alliance. About 20 minutes later, each item was still in its original position.
“You told me to focus, but you didn’t tell me what to do.” To be honest, I was a little frustrated that I was unable to perform what seemed like an easy ability.
Edward walked over and gently stroked my back. The pleasant smell of cedar and sea salt on his body calmed me down.
“Did you really focus?”
“Yes, Alonso.”
“You didn’t give your all.”
“What does that even mean? I tried my best.” This might be a basic ability, but it was also my first day of training.
“It seems that your parents and your pack aren’t worth your all.”
When these words entered my ears, I looked at him in disbelief.
“Alonso, this is Rose’s first training. Do you really have to use such heartbreaking words as motivation?” Edward turned serious, because he knew that Alonso’s words would touch a sensitive nerve of mine.
“Are you though? Worth their sacrifice? Your entire pack was massacred but here you are enjoying the life. If this is the strongest you are, I’m very disappointed in you, Rose.”
Alonso succeeded in igniting my anger. I knew my first day of training was going to be tough but he was just going too far to poke on other people’s scars.
I felt a slurry of emotions well up within me – sadness, anger, and frustration.
“You don’t know me so how could you say that?!” I shouted at him. He could humiliate me all he wanted, but talking about my parents and pack like that was just too much. This was intolerable.
Suddenly, Alonso was almost hit by something. Right after, he was almost hit by something else, and another in quick succession. Whatever they were, they moved too quickly for the eyes to see. He kept dodging, but he still ended up getting hit by two to three of them.
My anger had not dissipated as all the objects on the ground, even the uprooted tree beside him, flew at him. I finally forced myself to calm down before the tree almost smashed his face. I suddenly felt very flustered, not knowing how everything had happened in an instant.
I had thought that Alonso would teach me a lesson, but to my surprise, he only touched his face and revealed a satisfied smile.
“Well done, Luna. I think I found the secret to making you mad.”
