Chapter 96: Meeting Helena
"Senior Helena" Deborah called out with full adoration in her voice.
Helena who was focused on what she was doing stopped it and then turned around to see who called her so respectfully.
When she turned around to see who had called her, she could see Lauren, Deborah and Lucretia. Also, she could see the sincere admiration in their eyes and began to wonder what had caused that to erupt from their eyes.
Although she didn't know who amongst them called her name, she raised up her hand to wave at them and said with a smile in her face "Hello girls"
Lauren quickly spoke when she arrived in front of Helena "Senior Helena, you are my idol"
Helena's eyes widened in shock from what Lauren said.
"Oh. I am glad that I am someone's idol. Thank you" Helena said with a sincere tone in her voice.
Then she said in the next second "I don't think I have seen these cute faces anywhere in here before"
"Yes senior Helena. We just arrived here yesterday" Deborah said.
"Okay. I see you have come to join us to be trained in combat so you could be fierce fighters and then hone your spellcasting abilities to become unparalleled and extremely powerful magical warriors." Helena said with a smile.
Lauren and Deborah nodded their heads with smiles in their faces.
"That's really good. Hope no one has come to seek for trouble from you girls?" Helena asked.
"Well, one came yesterday to seek trouble with us. But we dealt with her in a way that she wouldn't forget us for the rest of her useless life." Lauren said harshly.
Haha!
Helena laughed.
She then applauded them.
"I like that you girls are ruthless. Always show the fools here who is boss. Step on them like the ant that they are if you have to." She said while the girls before her nodded their heads, taking in what she was saying and indelibly branding her words to their very hearts. This was an advice from their mentor and idol and they had to take it all in and adhere totally by it.
When Helena finished saying that, she said with a smile in her face "So my name's Helena. And it's really nice knowing you amazing girls"
Lauren and Deborah nodded their heads and then took turns to introduce themselves.
Deborah went first then Lauren went second.
"Hmm. You girls got beautiful names. I am jealous." Helena praised.
She then asked "Are you two sisters?"
"Yes. We are sisters." Lauren replied.
"Alright." Helena said with a slight nod of her head.
She then spoke further by asking "Do you girls have an instructor that you both are attached to for training in this place?"
"No we don't. We weren't given any instructor" Lauren said.
She then said further by questioning "Senior Helena, if you don't mind, can we also train under your instructor?"
Helena's eyes widened in shock.
'What?!'
'Oh no! These girls don't really know what they are requesting for' She said inwardly.
Then very quickly, she said "Girls, trust me. You really don't want to train under my instructor"
As soon as she said this, Deylina's vexed voice rang out from behind her.
"Helena. What's the meaning of that?" Deylina called her and asked with a slight annoyance in her tone.
"Nothing really, instructor. I am only telling the girls what to do" Helena said with slight fear in her voice.
She then went closer to the girls and said in a whispering tone "Girls, my instructor is a devil. Devil in the sense that she is somewhat wicked and too ferocious for my liking. If you train under her, trust me girls, you will dislike and hate that same day that you resumed training under her."
"And if you ask why I am still training under her, it's because I have grown accustomed to her devilishness. But if I have the chance, I will change my instructor. However, I haven't seen that chance yet. So, I am still sadly stuck with her."
"Therefore girls, trust me on this, you won't really want to train under her. But if you persist, you might regret it."
"Since you don't have an instructor, go find instructor Amber. She is the senior instructor in this place. She is the one in charge of spellcasting training and supervises all the instructors here."
"When you see her and tell her that you need an instructor to train you both, she might she decide to do so herself. But if not, she will bring an instructor to you girls that will be far better than the one that I currently train under."
Helena knew why she said this. And her reason for making her instructor look bad in front of these girls was because she didn't want them to go through the intense and hard training that she went through in the hands of her instructor. So, she decided that it was best to push them away to find a softer instructor who would go easy on them.
Also, one mustn't forget that Helena was given instructor Deylina because she was the Chosen One. The intention of doing so was because they wanted someone who would be really strict with her and train her real hard. Therefore, she didn't want the girls to be trained under that same degree of strictness and hardness.
"Okay. We will follow what you say senior Helena" Deborah said.
Helena nodded her head and then said "Girls, you actually don't need to call me senior. Just call me Helena"
"What? No! We can't do that senior Helena. You are the chosen one and we have to respect that title that commands awe and respect from all living creatures" Deborah replied.
"Ugh!" Helena uttered in a displeased tone. However, she concealed the displease in her voice.
She then said "Alright then. But anytime that you girls feel embarrassed to call me that, you can stop. Seriously"
"Why would we feel embarrassed?" Lauren asked.
"Well, just saying" Helena replied.
"Don't worry senior Helena. We can never feel embarrassed." Deborah contributed.
"Okay then." Helena said.
She then said further by asking "Would you girls go find instructor Amber for your training? Then after training, you can both come to my place so we can talk more at length?"
"You are inviting us to your place?" Lauren asked to confirm what she heard. And at the moment, her eyes were glittering brilliantly like polished diamonds that sparkled under the resplendent rays of the sun.
"Sure!" Helena said with a smile in her face.
"Thank you very much senior Helena" Deborah said with a smile in her face and then unexpectedly went forward with her sister, Lauren, to give Helena an embrace.
Helena sighed inaudibly and embraced the both of them.
She then said "Girls, come on. You don't need to do this"
Lauren and Deborah then released Helena from their embrace with Deborah saying "We are sorry if we made you feel awkward, senior Helena. We just wanted to embrace our idol. Also, we were too excited that you actually invited us to your room to come chat with you."
"Nah. I didn't feel awkward. I just didn't want the girls in here to look down on you girls with full disdain in their hearts. You know, from your behavior, they might begin to laugh inwardly at you girls. And I don't want that to happen. You have to appear fierce and ferocious before these girls and not as some cute and adorable kittens, or they might try to ride on you girls like their mounts." Helena said, telling them the reason why she stopped them.
"Oh! Alright senior Helena. We will listen to all the advices that you have to offer us." Lauren said.
"Good!" Helena nodded.
Lauren then asked in the next moment "Senior Helena, can our friend, Lucretia, come with us too to your residence?"
Lauren asked this with her large and pleading bright eyes.
"Haha! Girls, why not? Anyone that wants to come to my place is more than welcome." Helena answered with an amiable smile in her face.
She then said further "Alright girls. Go find instructor Amber. You girls need to be trained"
Lauren and Deborah nodded their heads and then left Helena's presence with Lucretia who will lead them to instructor Amber since she would know who and where she is.
After they had gone, Deylina's raging voice rang out from behind Helena.
"Helena, what rubbish were you telling those girls?" Don't think I didn't hear you." Deylina unexpectedly asked.
"Oh no. So she heard. I am dead" Helena said with fright in her heart.
She then quickly said with a pleading and remorseful gaze in her eyes "I am totally sorry ma'am if I had said anything that really offended you. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me."
"Whatever. You can carry on with your training." Deylina said.
Helena nodded her head happily since instructor Deylina had forgiven her and then resumed her press-ups.
