Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 29 Mrs. Burns
While Kyle was busy cleaning up, Goethe had already walked back to the hall, refreshed.
Then he saw an old woman coming out from the side of the corridor.
The other person was dressed in a black dress, which made her look very simple. The black glasses made her look more serious. Apart from that, she did not have any bracelets, brooches or other accessories that people of her age would choose, and she did not spend any time on her clothes.
"This is a serious old lady."
Goethe commented in his heart.
"Goethe?"
The old woman in front of him asked.
Obviously, the old woman was not completely ignorant of Goethe and Kell.
After Goethe nodded, the old woman who received the response fell silent again.
until--
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Pence, I..."
“I hope there won’t be a next time.”
"Although I owe Daryl Morey a favor, it doesn't mean I will teach someone who doesn't respect my class time."
"Come with me."
Mrs. Pence interrupted Kyle before he could finish his words.
Just as Goethe guessed.
This Mrs. Pence is quite serious.
Or rather, severe.
Ignoring Kyle's blushing face and looking ashamed, the old woman turned and walked upstairs.
Goethe and Kyle followed quickly.
The two walked almost side by side.
Kyle glared at Goethe, and Goethe responded lightly:
"You can't even handle a child's tricks. You must be mentally fragile."
Goethe's meaning came across clearly.
Kyle's breathing quickened, but he did not open his mouth to refute. He did not want to be driven away by Mrs. Pence and miss this extremely important opportunity for him.
But that didn't stop Kyle from glaring at Goethe.
'How could a gentleman do such a thing?'
“It’s just…”
Kyle wanted to comment, but he couldn't find the right words. Moreover, when he thought of the scene just now, he felt an inexplicable strong sense of shame, which made Kyle feel that his life had become bleak.
Goethe glanced at Kyle, whose figure suddenly turned dim, raised his right hand with a smile, and stretched out his thumb and index finger to indicate a length.
Suddenly, Kyle stumbled.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Burns turned and asked.
"No, nothing."
Kyle replied quickly.
Mrs. Pence frowned, but in the end, without saying anything, she pushed open the door.
"This is your classroom for the next twelve weeks."
"This doesn't mean that you can learn it in twelve weeks, but I will only teach you for twelve weeks. After twelve weeks, I will repay Morey's favor, and you will no longer have any relationship with me."
"Now, let's get to our first lesson."
Mrs. Burns said as she walked into the classroom.
The classroom is not big, only 15 square meters, and there is no blackboard or other teaching aids, only three chairs.
Moreover, there are no windows in the entire classroom.
Then, the classroom door was closed by the housekeeper , and the entire room fell into darkness.
And just at this moment——
"Bi!"
Language that Goethe had never heard before came out of Mrs. Burns's mouth.
Immediately, a light source the size of a ping-pong ball emerged from the fingers of Mrs. Pence's right hand.
The darkness in the classroom was dispelled.
Goethe watched this scene without blinking.
He had experienced extraordinary situations more than once, but this was the first time he had experienced such a close distance and without danger.
Although Kyle tried his best to remain calm, his rapid breathing revealed his true condition at the moment.
"What I just said is the extraordinary language: Tufu language."
"Originally it came from witches."
"One hundred and twenty years ago, it was a secret knowledge that was only known by witches, but after His Majesty George I issued the Witch Hunt Act, this language gradually became known to people."
"Then, it became the 'key' that initially unlocked the extraordinary."
Standing there, Mrs. Burns said meticulously.
Goethe and Kell listened carefully.
The two knew that this was a rare opportunity and neither of them would be distracted.
Mrs. Pence continued:
"However, if you want to master this 'key', you must have talent. If you don't have talent, even if you learn it, it will be useless and will only bring disaster."
"So, I suggested that Morey test your talents first before teaching you two."
"But he stubbornly believes that both of you are excellent 'gifted people'."
At this point, Mrs. Pence frowned again.
However, the next moment, everything returned to normal.
"'Talent' is crucial to 'supernormal'."
"A person without talent will never be able to master the true extraordinary power."
"A person with extraordinary talent can easily make his extraordinary power even more powerful."
As she spoke, the ball of light on Mrs. Pence's right finger quickly grew larger.
In the blink of an eye, it became the size of an apple.
The light suddenly became extremely dazzling.
Goethe and Kell, who had been paying attention to Mrs. Burns, suddenly had tears in their eyes and their vision became blurred.
“That’s the simplest example.”
"For those who lack talent, [Flash Technique] can only be used for illumination."
"For those with strong talents, [Flash Magic] can play the role of blinding the enemy."
As Mrs. Burns spoke, the ball of light in her hand turned into dots of light and dissipated.
The door was pushed open at this time.
The butler handed Goethe and Kell a towel stained with medicine.
"Apply it to your eyes for half a minute to effectively relieve the pain. Remember not to open your eyes while applying the medicine."
Mrs. Pence said.
Goethe and Kell did as they were told.
When the towel was placed on his eyes, Goethe could feel a cool sensation.
Soon, the stinging sensation disappeared.
Two minutes later, Goethe took off the towel.
By this time, he had returned to normal.
In the classroom, the housekeeper also lit candles.
After doing all this, the butler closed the door and left, but Goethe could hear that the butler's footsteps did not go away, but were standing outside the door.
Obviously, the other party is ensuring that the classes taught by Mrs. Pence cannot be eavesdropped on .
Kyle's recovery is slower than Goethe's.
When Kyle removed the towel and found himself being waited on by Mrs. Burns and Goethe, the young man blushed again.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"No need to apologize."
Mrs. Burns waved her hand, and then continued, "I will not teach you the secret arts, nor will I baptize you. I will only teach you the most basic Tufu language, and I will not even guarantee the church."
" So , you don't need to treat me like a teacher, and I won't treat you like a student either - because I'm just returning a favor."
Mrs. Pence emphasized.
Goethe frowned slightly.
This was the first time he had heard of the secret technique.
Baptism, Morey mentioned it before.
But none of this matters.
The important thing is that learning this extraordinary knowledge seems to be more difficult than he imagined.
From what I can see now, Mrs. Pence in front of me is not easy to get along with.
However, Goethe did not intend to give up.
So, in the face of Mrs. Burns's emphasis , Goethe remained silent.
Kyle twisted his body uneasily.
Obviously, the teaching situation before him was a little different from what he expected, which made Kyle a little overwhelmed.
"Do you have any more questions?"
"If not, we'll start the first class."
Mrs. Burns asked.
"No."
Kyle immediately shook his head.
No doubt, Mrs. Pence's reiterated words made him cautious.
Goethe was even more cautious than Kehl.
So, he was able to find some problems.
For example: Kyle only remembered the second half of Mrs. Pence's words, but forgot the two words in the first half that Mrs. Pence said, which ordinary people should not understand at all:
'Mysticism', 'baptism'.
Since the other party has said it, it is natural to tell them.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t ask this.
Can……
It could also be a trap in the words.
"The other party seems a little dissatisfied with Morey's arrangement!"
"still……"
"Murray used his official status to pressure Mrs. Pence to teach us the extraordinary language?"
Goethe guessed in his heart, and then sat up straight.
He doesn't want to be Morey's scapegoat.
Then, Goethe saw that Mrs. Burns frowned at the silence of himself and Kyle.
This look made Kyle nervous.
Goethe even heard Kyle's breathing quicken again.
Mrs. Burns looked down at Kyle, which made Kyle more and more uneasy. But at this moment, Mrs. Burns suddenly turned her head to look at Goethe and asked directly -
"What is the 'secret technique'?"
