It's so hard being a hero!

"Your task today is to kill a Tier 1 magical beast."

After speaking, Frey sensed the area and quickly located the area where the monster was present.

So he put his hand on Sophia's shoulder again, and the two of them vanished from the spot in an instant.

This is short-distance spatial travel magic.

The next moment, they appeared outside a small village.

But as soon as they reached the village entrance, they heard a heart-wrenching cry.

"Help, help."

A middle-aged woman stumbled out of the village, her face filled with terror.

"Warcraft! Warcraft has entered the village!"

Before the woman could finish speaking, a deep, animalistic roar echoed from within the village.

Sophia only glanced in that direction, and she already understood everything.

"Let's go."

After they finished speaking, the two arrived at the area where the monster was located, and then saw a bloody scene.

A white giant wolf, the size of a calf, was being attacked by a group of humans. It had a human corpse in its mouth, its icy blue eyes scanning its surroundings, and blood dripping from the corner of its mouth.

Frey stopped in her tracks.

"Did you see that?"

Sophia nodded.

"Your mission is to kill it."

Sophia was taken aback.

She had thought Frey would demonstrate first, or let her observe from the side, but she was surprised when Frey directly asked her to go first.

"But teacher, I don't know how to fight!"

Upon hearing this, Frey turned around and looked at her coldly.

"Battle is learned through practice. No matter how much theoretical knowledge you learn, it's all for nothing if you don't go to the battlefield. Today you must kill it. I'll be watching from the sidelines and won't let you get hurt."

Sophia opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but seeing Frey's calm eyes, she swallowed her words back.

She thought to herself: Sigh! Fine, it's just a first-tier magical beast, I can kill it without even trying.

So she took a deep breath, pretended to be nervous, and walked step by step toward the snow wolf.

The snow wolf also noticed her, turned around, and stared at the small, silver-haired girl with its scarlet eyes, letting out a low, threatening growl.

"Hey, little girl, don't come any closer."

The villagers quickly stopped Sophia from doing so.

Sophia then stopped about ten meters away from the snow wolf.

She didn't adopt any aggressive stance; she simply stood there, calmly watching the other person.

That look seemed to make the Snow Wolf feel threatened.

The next second, it pounced at an astonishing speed.

Sophia seemed completely oblivious.

"boring."

She simply raised her right hand, aimed it at the Snow Demon Wolf, and a beam of azure light shot out from her palm, striking the Snow Demon Wolf squarely in the head and piercing through it.

The snow wolf's body froze in mid-air, then crashed heavily to the ground like a stone.

It didn't even have time to let out a scream before it died.

Sofia lowered her hand, looked at the corpse on the ground, then turned to Frey and gave her a "it's all done" look.

That expression, that posture, that composure after the fight.

Frey has met him.

On that person's face.

On the face of the person who is no longer here.

Frey's heart skipped a beat, as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

She stood there, staring at Sofia for a full five seconds, her eyes swirling with complex emotions.

Sofia quickly realized that she had gotten a little too carried away.

So she quickly put on a shocked expression, looked down at her hands, and then at the snow wolf on the ground.

"Teacher, I did it?"

But her acting was so bad that Frey wanted to laugh.

But she couldn't bring herself to smile.

Because her mind is now filled with that person's image.

"She's a magician, this little girl is a magician."

The villagers cheered and expressed their gratitude.

After receiving their thanks, Sofia returned to Frey's side.

"Sofia."

Frey's voice was a little hoarse.

"Ok?"

"You really haven't studied magic before?"

Sophia shook her head guiltily.

No, really no.

Frey took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the emotions that were welling up inside her.

"Alright, let's go find a stronger target."

After saying that, Frey used teleportation magic again with Sophia, and arrived in a deeper mountainous area.

"This is deep in Arxan, where second- and third-tier magical beasts frequently appear."

"Come with me."

Sophia's ears twitched; she knew there were magical beasts ahead.

After walking for a while, they saw an even larger ape-like magical beast, the Snow Demon Ape.

"A second-tier magical beast, let's try again."

Frey stepped back a few paces, giving up the battlefield.

Sophia stood there, quickly calculating in her mind.

A second-tier magical beast is roughly equivalent to a mid-level human mage.

With her current level of magic, she could win in a direct confrontation, but it wouldn't be as easy as it was before.

The question is, how easily should she win?

If it's too easy, Frey will become suspicious.

It was too difficult, and it made her seem too weak.

We need to find a compromise.

The Snow Demon Ape launched the first attack, circling Sophia and letting out a low roar, trying to find an opening.

Sophia remained motionless, not even following his gaze, simply standing quietly in place, as if nothing was on her mind.

The Snow Demon Ape felt the time was right, and with a powerful push of its hind legs, its entire body shot forward like a cannonball, pressing down on Sophia.

If this were an ordinary person, they would probably be terrified.

Sofia moved.

Her body glowed with a blue light, and she moved backward in a blur, just managing to dodge the Snow Demon Ape's heavy attack.

The snow demon ape was taken aback and was about to give chase.

But Sofia made her move; she raised her left hand.

A streak of azure light shot out from his palm and struck the Snow Demon Ape's right leg joint precisely.

Blood spurted out, and the Snow Demon Ape let out a painful howl, losing its balance and rolling twice on the ground before regaining its footing.

Sofia did not give chase, but simply stood there, as if waiting for it to stand up.

The snow ape struggled to its feet and limped forward again.

This time, Sofia didn't even bother to hide anymore.

She raised her right hand, and a second beam of azure light shot out, striking the Snow Demon Ape's other hind leg.

The snow demon ape could no longer stand up and collapsed on the ground, letting out a desperate howl.

Sophia stepped forward and looked down at it.

Then she raised a finger, ready to finish him off.

However, when she saw the fear in the Snow Demon Ape's eyes, she chose to stop.

"never mind."

She turned and went back to Frey's side.

Frey, on the other hand, looked puzzled.

Chapter 5: I uttered lines from my past life.

The snow demon ape lay sprawled on the ground, emitting a low, mournful cry, its blue eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
