Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 942 Choosing a Mentor

Looking at the two soldiers standing in front of her, Shiro raised an eyebrow after seeing Celeste’s curious glances at Glen.

"Now I’ve called you two here because I was very impressed with your performance during the excursion. I’m thinking of giving each of you a specialised unit designed for your personal use as well as training with powerful instructors to help you improve. Naturally, this also includes the rewards from the excursion too so you can both get a weapon or armour from Helion as well as a bracelet with a skill that you want." Shiro smiled as she sat on the table with her legs crossed.

Surprised at Shiro’s attitude despite being a goddess, Glen coughed lightly.

"Thank you very much. But I don’t think I’m suited for a specialised unit since I can’t use magic that well." Glen spoke up.

"You don’t have to know magic for a specialised unit you know? It’s called a specialised unit because it is tailored to YOUR specialties. If you’re used to just using swords then your specialised unit would be one that takes advantage of all of this. Of course, I’ll need to collect more data on your fighting style in order to make one that’s perfectly suited for you." Shiro chuckled.

"Ah I see... Erm... who would be my trainer then?" Glen asked. If he can get stronger, he can help people like how she did.

"It depends on what kind of training you want. If you want sword training, I’d suggest my father, my mother, or Lyrica Valenstaine and her mother. If you want magic training, I’d suggest Aarim of the Mages Guild." Shiro smiled while resting her chin on her palm.

Thinking about it for a moment, Glen swallowed nervously as he looked at her with determination.

"What about training with you as the mentor?" He asked.

In the mana realm, Nimue, Iziuel and Estrella all facepalmed at the same time in shock. One does not simply ask Shiro for training and get away with it!

Hearing this, Shiro’s lips curved into a grin as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"You want training from me? You understand that my training is everything right?" Shiro asked as Glen nodded his head.

Noticing some strange movements to his left, he glanced over and saw Celeste with her face completely pale and was shivering.

"Sure. I’ll give you training. But I’ll give you one last chance to back out. Since if you accept, even if you say no, I’ll be dragging you to the training hall personally." Shiro chuckled.

She had nothing to do anyways.

Nodding his head, Glen agreed, not knowing what he had just got himself into.

"Alright, sure. I’ll give you a schedule in a bit." Shiro nodded before turning to Celeste.

"What about you?" Shiro asked.

Swallowing nervously, Celeste didn’t know what to say. Seeing Shiro’s expression earlier reminded her of a high level monster looking at prey but that expression disappeared quickly so she wasn’t sure if it was an illusion or not. But deep down she felt a little afraid of the kind goddess.

"Erm what would let me repay you for saving my life?" Celeste asked as Shiro blinked her eyes.

"So you want to repay me for saving your life? You don’t have to you know? You can just stay in the city and be happy." Shiro raised an eyebrow.

"That doesn’t feel earned. I want to repay the debt of you saving my life. Kaiser taught me that one should repay the person who saved your life."

Hearing this, Shiro smiled.

’This Kaiser sounds like an adoptive parent but he’s raised her well.’ Shiro thought with a smile.

"Well if you’re insistent, why don’t you become something similar to a royal guard then? That’s essentially what all the specialised pilots are, royal guards who serve me and follow my orders. Of course, if I require you to protect me, I’ll ask for it when the time comes." Shiro smiled as Celeste nodded her head.

"Then why don’t you train under me with Glen? Both of you are going to become specialised pilots with you wanting to pay back your debt." Shiro suggested with a smile.

{Yeesh. Look at your smile, you look like a scammer.} Nimue rolled her eyes as Shiro shrugged.

’What scammer. I’m just offering them a chance of training under me.’ Shiro replied with a smug smile.

{Don’t break them like you did aunty Silvia mommy.} Attie called out as Shiro choked on her saliva.

*COUGH!

’Where did you learn about that darling?’ Shiro forced a smile as Attie pointed at Nimue who was slipping away into the mana sea.

Grabbing Nimue by the shoulder, Shiro smiled.

’May I ask about what you’re teaching to my son?’

{Fufu, just knowledge about his mother’s previous ventures.} Nimue smiled before escaping her grasp by turning her body to water.

However, she didn’t get far as a layer of ice covered her body.

’Look after your aunty ok?’ Shiro smiled as Attie nodded his head.

Turning her focus back to reality, Shiro brought up their schedules.

"This should be your schedules alright?" Shiro asked, handing them two pieces of paper.

"Yes it is." Glen nodded.

Seeing that Celeste also nodded, Shiro started to make some adjustments.

’Sparring, magic training, mech training, weapons training, battle knowledge and healing knowledge. They might not know about healing spells but doing some first aid is a must.’ Shiro thought to herself as she started to fill their schedules in.

{What about rest?} Nimue asked as she was still locked in the ice.

’What rest?’ Shiro raised an eyebrow and handed the sheet back.

"This will be your schedule for the next few weeks and I’ll improve it depending on what I see ok? You’ll get your specialised units once I finish observing you." Shiro smiled.

Taking the sheet, the two of them nodded their head and walked out of the office.

Just as they walked out, they noticed Shiina and saluted.

"Oh? Are you two the top contributors in the excursion? Congratulations." She smiled.

"Thank you very much." Glen nodded his head.

"So what reward did you ask for?" Shiina asked curiously since she was interested in the creativity of the soldier since the last one who got their rewards actually made such a strong berserk skill.

"We asked for personal training from the goddess."

Hearing this, Shiina stumbled on her foot as she almost fell off the railings.

"You what now???" She asked in shock.

Confused by her question, Glen repeated his answer.

"So you’re telling me you asked for training from her highness and she smiled happily?" Shiina asked while furrowing her brows.

"Mn, she’s already given us a schedule." Glen smiled, showing Shiina his timetable for the next few weeks.

Reading it, Shiina flinched and looked at him with pity.

"Do you know that you only have 2 hours?" Shiina sighed.

"2 hours of what?" Glen tilted his head as Celeste did the same.

Placing her hands on their shoulders, Shiina sighed heavily.

"You only have two hours of rest in a week. A tip from me as your senior who has also experienced the same training. Learn how to sleep walk. At least you’ll be able to sleep when you walk towards the next lesson. Also, if you outperform her schedule, she’ll compact it more to increase the intensity. Good luck." Shiina said as she walked towards the office.

Looking at her back, Glen was confused.

’What? Sleep walk to the next lesson? It shouldn’t be that bad right?’ He thought to himself. Looking at the schedule, his body tensed up as he saw how many sessions were crammed into a single day. Even his time for food was barely enough for a small meal before resuming lessons.

"It doesn’t look that bad... I think?" Celeste muttered while looking at the paper.

"I hope so too." Glen muttered with a hollow laugh.

With this kind of schedule, his sister might as well forget about meeting him for the next few weeks.

###

It didn’t even take a week before both Celeste and Glen were running away from Shiro.

Shivering in the closet, Celeste tried to keep as quiet as possible since training was hell.

"You know, everything here is made by me so It’s only natural that I know where you are. Why are you late Celeste?" Shiro’s voice rang out as Celeste looked up to see a holographic Shiro with her trademark demon smile.

Paling from her smile, Celeste nodded her head obediently.

"I’ll rush to the training hall now." She replied in a low voice.

"Good. I had to drag Glen out from his hiding spot too. Maybe I’ll increase the sparring lesson today since you two seem rather energetic, hiding from me like this." Shiro laughed as Celeste was crying in her mind.

’Kaiser.... Help me. The goddess is a demon in disguise... she’s scary!’ Celeste shouted out in her mind as she forced herself to make her way back to the training hall.

Hours passed without sleep: 71.
