You call this the mastermind?

It was still the study room with the painting of the emperor.

When Mellen entered here, Mrs. Chelsea was wearing a tight-waisted black single-breasted gorgeous coat, with exquisite lace embroidery dotted on the wide cuffs of the coat, and with her neatly combed elegant long hair, it was inexplicably like meeting a distinguished blonde queen.

Now, when this "queen" looked at him, there was no change in her expression, but the words she said made Mellen quite confused.

"If you feel that you can't explain some things, then you don't need to explain them."

She said: "Especially don't tell me something by exposing your own specialness in front of outsiders."

The teacher seemed to blame him for what he did today.

But the key to the problem is why he has such strength?

Mellen was a little surprised and wanted to ask something when he opened his mouth.

But then, the lady raised her hand and waved, indicating that he should not speak first and continue to listen to her.

"The two truth believers claimed that they had reasons to attack you, but I am still confirming the truth of this matter, so there is no need to tell you for the time being."

"What I need to emphasize now is that although you can now fight against hunters of Guderian's level, don't think that the God Slayer is only capable of this."

"You beat him unconscious, but you can't kill him, and this unconscious state is quickly dissipating."

"In other words, you took great pains to beat him up before, but he didn't suffer any damage. Do you understand what this means?"

It means that I didn't hit him lightly...

Merlen muttered secretly when he heard this, but on the surface he put on a humble appearance of listening to teachings.

Madam was very satisfied with this, so she said again: "I think your ability is very tricky. In a formal battle, you can suppress him, but if he attacks you by surprise, you may not be able to dodge it."

She was obviously referring to the shadow dance.

Merlen did rely on this ability to make Guderian completely unable to use his means before, which resulted in a crushing effect. In a sense, it was indeed a trick.

However, the point here should be that he has the physical fitness to use such a powerful footwork, rather than the weakness of this ability...

"And even if you can crush him in other aspects, don't think it's a good thing."

Mrs. Chelsea's voice continued.

"Hunters use their abilities at the cost of consuming their lives. The stronger the skills you use, the more life you consume."

"You are still young and may not feel anything about it, but if you really use these abilities as daily means, you will regret it sooner or later."

This is very similar to what Julianna said before. Mellen blinked when he heard it, wanting to say that what he consumed when using those abilities was not his own life, but those mysterious foreign substances.

But seeing the teacher's eyes that were blaming but a little worried at the moment, he swallowed these words back into his stomach.

"So, you have to be obedient. Don't use those abilities if you can avoid it in the future."

"Although hunters and even knights are very strong in combat, they are not the right path after all. They have little potential and have been eliminated by history."

"You should focus on the path of wizards."

Merlen nodded obediently without refutation.

But in his heart, he was more and more puzzled as to why the teacher didn't ask him where his strong combat power came from.

Could it be that the two truth believers suddenly attacked him to confirm whether he was the so-called child of destiny?

And the child of destiny can quickly gain some abilities like himself?

So the teacher is like this, she knows everything and doesn't need me to say more?

But even so, shouldn't she listen to my explanation first?

After all, compared with the two truth believers, she should believe my words more...

"Or does she actually think that she knows nothing? So there is no need to ask?"

...

Mrs. Chelsea certainly doesn't think that Mellen knows nothing.

Even if she thought Mellen knew nothing, she had reason to ask Mellen why he couldn't help but take action suddenly.

After all, others didn't know, but she knew that her student had the life-saving treasure, the Wandering God Boots.

The two truth believers could trap others, but not him.

However, it was precisely because of this that she didn't ask Mellen to explain anything.

Mellen should not know about the Chosen One, otherwise he wouldn't be so easily probed by the two truth believers.

But he should at least know where his hunter skills came from.     And even if the Chosen One's learning ability is amazing, there is a learning process.

It is impossible to master those abilities that others may not be able to master in their lifetime in an instant.

So before this, he obviously concealed many things in front of her as a teacher.

But why did he hide it before, but choose to expose it now?

Was he "provoked" by the two truth believers and couldn't help but take action?

Obviously not.

Mrs. Chelsea had learned about the general process of the previous conversation between the two parties. They were all polite and there was no anger at all.

Then the reason why he suddenly attacked was very clear -

Nothing can better show his current state than a direct battle.

That is to say, he has a secret, but he doesn't want to hide it anymore and wants to tell his secret to me.

Without knowing the matter of the elect, he wants to tell me such a secret, which even makes the lady feel flattered.

Because as Juliana realized before, if others know about this exaggerated progress, it will inevitably attract covetousness and greed.

Maybe Mellen can use this trait to quickly become strong enough to not fear anyone, but he needs to eat and sleep after all, and he will care about people and things after all.

He will also be tired and will be careless.

In other words, he can't be without weaknesses.

As long as he has weaknesses, he can be targeted.

And when a certain benefit is large enough, even if he has done nothing wrong, he will become the "hunting" target of certain forces.

Such an exaggerated progress rate is a huge benefit!

It can be said that this secret is related to life and property.

Of course, if he is really a so-called elect, then this can't be said to be a huge benefit, because there are records that can explain why such an exaggerated speed is going on.

But let's not talk about whether the elect is true or not. Even if it is, Mellen obviously wouldn't know about it before.

In other words, his student wanted to hand over his life and property and his key points to him not long ago...

Faced with such a level of trust, is it necessary for him to dig deep and investigate anything?

Mrs. Chelsea felt that Mellen couldn't even tell his parents about these things.

But he wanted to tell himself...

"Don't be so impulsive in the future." The lady sitting behind the desk educated him with a serious expression:

"Sometimes you look smart, but sometimes you look very simple. Don't you know that human hearts are the most selfish? When the benefits reach a certain level, even the closest people may betray."

"So, there are some things that can't be told to anyone, even me."

"Do you understand?"

"I understand..."

Mellen nodded sullenly.

The teacher obviously made up some things through some clues.

The result looks good.

But it is obviously not in line with his expectations.

He originally wanted to use the fact that both parties have common blood and even common secrets to further strengthen their relationship, and by the way, he could also pave the way for the investigation of the Fountain of Heaven and find helpers.

But now, the relationship seems to be closer, but other things seem to be uncertain...

Especially, he obviously has a certain strength of combat ability that can be valued by her, but she still treats him as a child.

This is what Mellen cares about most.

Because it is completely different for a child to attack her and for a companion who can be trusted to attack her...

"By the way."

Just when Mellen was depressed about this, he saw Mrs. Chelsea sitting behind the desk. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said: "There is a difficult thing, I am a little unsure."

"I thought, maybe you can help me think of a way?"
