The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

"Go, Kula!" Lorenwei wasn't worried about her getting hurt. After all, the other person wanted to prove their strength, and if they hurt their student, they would lose face as a mentor.

Kurara proceeded steadily from the start, slowly approaching Boulbo using the most standard Knight's shield-wielding advance method.

Burbo took a few steps back and calmly chanted the spell.

Given his skill level, his decision not to use instant-cast magic was clearly an attempt to conserve his mental energy for a series of attacks. The remaining four members of the team would inevitably have to take turns entering the fray.

"Going out of the circle means you lose!" Melanie shouted a reminder. She vividly remembered how she had tried to throw the exchange student Oha out of the circle last time.

"Thorns everywhere!" Bulbo chanted an area-of-effect spell, confidently replying, "Of course, if I go out of the circle, I'll naturally lose."

Green and brown thorns began to grow rapidly on the ground, hindering Kurala's progress.

Distracted, Kurara wielded her knight's sword, continuously cutting through the thorns that blocked her path, which were higher than her knees.

“You don’t need to cut the thorns! Use your physical strength to tear the tangled thorns apart! Don’t forget you’re wearing heavy armor!” Burbo was instructing Kurara.

Kurala was taken aback.

Bourb: "The most powerful weapon is the one that hasn't been swung! Swinging your knight's sword distracts you. Moreover, having a weapon in use causes a momentary sluggishness in your next reaction, and it lacks the threat of an explosive attack. These thorns that are deliberately bothering you are not vines; you can simply break through them."

The other person wasn't an enemy, just a mentor to prove their strength; listening to him wouldn't be a problem. Kurara thought about it for a moment and agreed, immediately doing as he said.

Using shields and armor as strong weapons to break through the thorns, and keeping her knight's sword always ready to be swung, Kurara felt that she had grasped a certain feeling.

"Why didn't anyone tell me this before?" Kurara muttered to herself, recalling how her former royal tutors had always advised her to carefully distribute the opponent's attacks. For example, to be careful not to put too much pressure on her shield and to use her knight's sword to share the load.

"...Double Dance of Gale Blades!" Bulbo flicked his hands, throwing out two wind blades: "You can ask me anytime if you have any questions."

The wind blades whistled and drew spinning arcs as they attacked Kurara.

Kurara quickly applied the theory she had just grasped, and instead of using her knight's sword to cut through the wind blades as usual, she simply used her shield to block them head-on.

Her body swayed twice from the impact of the wind blades, and her left arm was slightly sore and numb, but her will was even stronger. Taking the opportunity, she decided to humbly ask for advice and raised her voice, saying, "What I mean is, no one has ever told me before that a knight only uses a shield to defend and saves his sword to attack."

"Haha! You're a princess, who would dare let her take such a risk? They'd definitely train you to be as cowardly as a tortoise!"

"That makes sense, thank you!" Burbo's words were rough but true. Kurala had to admit that the tutors invited by the royal family were indeed not willing to let her take any risks.

Bourb seized the opportunity to promote his role as a mentor: "Hahaha! I can teach you the experience I've gained in practice over the decades!"

As the two fought, Burbo kept pointing out ways to improve Kurara's combat skills, and what he said made a lot of sense.

Even if there are some things that she doesn't understand for the time being, Kurala believes that it's just because she lacks comprehension or experience, and that they should all be valuable summaries of practical experience.

So Kurara kept getting closer to Burpo, but instead of chasing him, she kept circling around him, giving him plenty of room to maneuver. Burpo also kept casting spells, using all sorts of magical techniques—interference, distraction, attack, and defense—to correct Kurara's mistakes.

Lorenwei looked at it for a long time, then sighed: "There's no need to fight anymore, Kurara has lost the will to continue."

"Then it's my turn." Meilan, who had been waiting impatiently on the sidelines, shouted, "Kulala, come down, it's my turn!"

Upon hearing the voice, Kurara gradually slowed her approach. Then, during a spellcasting pause in Bulbo, she put away her shield, stood still, and held her knight's sword horizontally on the shield: "Kurara has learned a lot and hopes to receive more of your guidance in the future."

After stopping, Kurala felt a little regretful and hoped to continue playing for a while to hear more of Burpo's experience and advice.

“Alright, so is Meilan next? Let’s switch!” Bulbo waved his hand.

"Here I come! Take this punch!" Meilan quickly replaced Kurara and leaped high into the air to attack Bulbo.

"Not bad! To be able to throw such a powerful punch without professional guidance, and the body movements seem to be driven by instinct, with the angle of force being very precise. It's a pity... the gravity traction technique!"

He suddenly drew a magic symbol with each of his hands.

Meilan, who was throwing a punch from mid-air, was approaching Bulb with momentum, but when the fist was only half a meter away from her body, she suddenly lost her balance.

In an instant, she swayed and fell to the ground, nearly twisting her waist.

"Instant gravity magic, Archmage level or above." Lorenwei exclaimed in surprise.

Gravity magic is an advanced version of earth magic. I originally thought he was just a peak archmage, but I never expected him to have reached this level.

Sylph chimed in, "Is he really that good? Then he could be our teacher, wouldn't that be great?"

Kurara was also surprised by Lorenwei's assessment. She hadn't expected that such a disheveled, drunken old man could be a mage or higher.

Of course, Lorenwei and the others didn't know that Bulbo was above the level of a Grand Magister, second only to legendary heroes like Aisser. For him to fight Kurara and Melan was like playing a child's game.

"Something's wrong! How did I lose my balance?" Meilan leaped up from the ground and threw a punch in the process.

"You're in great shape; you didn't even strain your back," Burbo laughed. "It's a pity you didn't have anyone to properly guide you."

He then used gravity magic to pull with both hands, each holding a glowing magic ring, causing the force to shift and constantly swaying Meilan's body from side to side.

"You have no martial ethics! You won't even take a single punch, you just use all sorts of underhanded tricks to make me miss!" Meilan had no strength to use, and her punches were constantly being deflected, and she couldn't land a single solid punch. She was so anxious that she was about to scream.

"Tai Chi?" Lorenwei exclaimed.

Bulbo exclaimed, "Hey? You know? This is a skill passed down from Romeo, the Son of Light. Hmm, Bishop Ethers is your mother, so she must have mentioned this secret technique. Speaking of which, this is your great-grandfather's skill, and I'm a little embarrassed to use it myself."

Lorenwei shouted and instructed, "Meilan, power comes from your feet! Your footing is unsteady! Stand firm! Slowly walk towards him, slowly throw your punch, and then unleash your power instantly!"

"Hey, you're stealing my business!" Burbo said angrily.

"I'll listen to you!" Melan listened to Lorenwei's words and immediately steadied herself, slowly throwing a punch, and then exerting force just as she was about to approach Burbo.

This has a bit of the feel of a sudden burst of speed, but it's just a makeshift imitation.

"Lorenwei, you tricked me!" Bulbo, with his extensive experience, could still deflect Meilan's punches without harming her, but it cost him nearly ten times the energy and magic power compared to before.

"Hmph, so whether you're qualified to teach us is hard to say!" Lorenwei stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug, and began to instruct Meilan.

After all, Lorenwei was a sword saint in her previous life, so she could easily explain this theory, and her insight was no less than that of Boulbo.

At first, Lorenwei made things difficult for Bourbo, constantly demanding to verify his qualifications, simply because she was dissatisfied.

I, a dignified sword saint, am here. Do I need your guidance? As for my other three harem members, if Sylph hadn't lost her memory, she wouldn't be any less capable than you. I can teach the other two girls too. There's no need for an old man to impersonate Hong Qigong and teach them the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms; I can teach them the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Touches…

Although Lorenwei was lazy and had no interest in guiding people, she was still happy to trouble Bourbo and cause him trouble from time to time.

Meilan's punches were powerful, and with Lorenwei's interference, Burbotton felt a lot of pressure. He could no longer stand still and easily deflect the punches as he had before, and instead had to slowly retreat, carefully trying to disrupt Meilan's attacks.

"Sylph, shoot him with an arrow!" Lorenwei added insult to injury.

He deliberately spoke loudly, and Burbo's heart skipped a beat.

Without a word, Sylph took out a feathered arrow, raised her golden bow, and aimed.

What happened? The moment Siruf took aim at him, the old man felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast that posed a huge threat.

Before Burbo could even cry out in surprise, the arrow shot out, leaving a streak of light.

"Whoa—!" Bulbo finally panicked. The gravity rings reversed, turning the punch that Meilan was throwing into the same direction into a force that sent him flying backward.

With a whoosh, Burbo rolled and slid across the grassy ground of the dilapidated training ground, managing to dodge the arrow.

The arrow passed over where Burbo had just been standing and embedded itself in a tree outside the arena, almost reaching the tip of the fletching. The tree trunk was also slightly cracked, clearly indicating that the arrow's force was still considerable and its destructive power was immense.

Kurara watched the whole thing and was greatly surprised: "I didn't expect Melanie and Sylph to be so strong. Maybe my potential really is the worst among the four of us..."

Just now, he couldn't even get close to Bulbo, and he even received a lot of guidance from him. Meanwhile, Melanie had subdued Bulbo with just a few words from Lorenwei, and Sylph's arrow had left him in a sorry state. Clearly, he was no match for them.

Also, it turns out that Sylph held back during their previous exchange of blows... Kurara knew this all too well.

That arrow was much faster than the previous sparring, and the moment he drew the bow and aimed, his aura locked on, making even himself feel a bit dangerous.

There are actually two reasons.

Firstly, Sylph has grown too fast; after the sparring session two days ago, her archery skills have improved dramatically.

Secondly, Sylph was indeed holding back. She knew that if she had hurt Kurara, Lorenve would have been heartbroken. Wouldn't sparring with Kurara have been counterproductive?

"Hmph, nothing special." Lorenwei raised her chin smugly at Bulbo.

"Young man, you have no sportsmanship! You actually attacked this old man!" Bulbo's face turned bright red, and he quickly got up from the ground. Fortunately, he was always unkempt, so even in this disheveled state, his magic robe didn't look dirty or messy.

Because it was already dirty and messy enough...

"Haha, I think you underestimate us. Want to be our team's mentor? It's not that easy!" Lorenwei beckoned Meilan back.

Meilan listened to the delicious chef very well. She immediately took off her boxing gloves and waved to Bulbo, saying, "We can fight again when we have time, but don't use those cheating tricks of having two magic rings and swinging my fists around anymore."

Bulbo said, feeling wronged, "...I remember you were the one who reported the magician's fault."

"Ah, I think if you can take action, you shouldn't talk nonsense." Meilan turned around and smiled as she walked to the sidelines.

"..." Boulbo was completely speechless.

What kind of weirdos are on this team?

Is the shameless and treacherous Lorenwei really a hero's daughter? A magician's apprentice's fists are harder than a martial artist's, and a novice archer can wield a golden bow far beyond their level with terrifying aura. Only the knight Kurara is somewhat normal…

"It's my turn next." Lorenwei took out her leather sash, tied her blue hair into a single ponytail, and began to take the field while rubbing her fists.

"Hey? Aren't you a magician?" Kurara stepped forward and asked, then whispered a reminder as she got closer, "You're relatives after all, don't make things awkward."

Just then, Kurara frowned in confusion: "Oh, right, you're all very close relatives, don't you know each other? Why are you acting like strangers?"

Lorenwei was a little flustered.

Chapter 156 You guys better watch your step! Lorenwei isn't a little kid!

“Uh…you should ask him.” Unable to think of an explanation right away, Lorenvi quickly said to Bulbo, “Tell me, Lorenvi, as my cousin, why don’t I recognize you?”

"..." Burbo wanted to roll his eyes.

Is this something you should be asking me? You lied to the girl, and now you expect me to cover for you?

However, Boulbo soon noticed that Lorenwei took out a special little silver staff inlaid with diamonds and wrapped with gold wire from her spatial ring.

The moment the staff appeared before his eyes, it instantly caught his attention.

This unique silver design, adorned with dozens of diamonds in an extravagantly luxurious way, and featuring a gold wire trim at the tail to cushion the feel, makes it a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Could it be... an S-rank magic wand: Starry Sky!

Boulbo almost cried out in surprise, then burst into tears.

For a moment, Burbo was worried for Lorenwei. Wasn't she afraid someone would steal such a valuable item from her?

No wonder they were willing to have me as their mentor! Look at this little kid with a spatial ring, and she can even pull out an S-rank magic wand from it! She truly deserves the title of a hero's daughter!

Then, Burbo noticed that Lorenwei waved her magic wand, her eyes flashing as if trying to seduce Burbo.

That look in her eyes would melt any young man's bones! Are you really not a girl? Burbo was starting to doubt her Serbian identity.

Of course, this wasn't the time to think about that. He knew that Lorenwei wasn't trying to seduce him, but rather implying that if he answered well, the magic wand might be his.
