Chapter 14: Sensei
The room was ablaze, the dusks flying in the air. Sticking to her skin were the remnants of wood built across the ground from before the town was built. She was trapped, in all this suffocating smoke, digging to her lungs like nails on a board.
Then the coughing would start. A female voice uttering her name.
A rhythm made of inconsistent ends.
She would stare at the ceiling, watching the fire swallowing everything frame per frame. Her body would rise before she would see someone on the bed, hands outstretched, and voice so hoarse.
She wouldn't go near her. No.
She'd rather sit there, staring as the fire would worse...
...And she'd be buried with it.
Evy woke up from her dream, her chest heaving as felt her skin clamp up from sweat. Her body qui

There's something she's learned throughout her training with Dune. As much as it seems like he's doing too much for someone like her, she noticed that compared to his treatment with other soldiers, she heard that her training was lighter in comparison. She has no way of proving it, just that Maj had told her that Dune was an instructor to the men who are protecting the city. But there were no recruits left to teach for now, that was why he was available. Who knows when he'll be pulled back again to the gates to train newer recruits. That was why she wanted to ask. They were in the back forest of the estate, carrying a heavily loaded bag, jumping from rocks to rocks, when she was struck with the desire to ask him. Evy glances at the front, to where Dune was looking down at her, waiting for her to reach her goal. She jumped... and jumped... ...and jumped. Un
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 16: Chase
Evy had been beaten every time she and Dune spar. Which was a given. Dune had been doing this longer than she has in a few weeks. She can't put a finger on why she can't hit back though. When they start and Dune would close his gap on her, she'd either freeze up or be too bothered to guard herself. Now that was days ago. She's still keeping up with the regimen that Dune had made her do, push-ups, squats, and running are the key points to his drills. They were back in the forest again. "What am I doing wrong?" Evy asked all of a sudden. "I know I'm a bit stronger and faster but I can't seem to even hit you?" They were taking a break from another strength exercise. Her teacher was drinking by the riverside and was minding his own business when she asked. Dune faced Evy. "Well for one, you're still slow. Another is that you're scare
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 17: History
Evy stepped on the guild around night. It's her usual time to visit and look around for requests that she finds interesting, seeing as no one would go looking for her. She joined the guild days after she returned to the Devine estate. She found out that she couldn't handle not being able to do anything and for most of her day she basically has a time where she's free. She got the idea of joining the guild as a means to work at the time she's available. This was back when she doesn't have to train much. She began to do requests that doesn't take a long time to finish and doesn't require a high rank to do. At first, it was escorting an old man around town for 3 small copper coins. Then being a messenger for two affiliated shops going across each other to report real-time messages and being rewarded 3 small copper coins every hour for two days. Then there's also the time, she had to clean 4 rooms in an inn for 5 small
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 18: Mistaken Identity
Evy heard someone coming to her room and the first thing she did was pretend to be asleep... on the couch.... with a book on her lap... snoring heavily. The person who came in cleared her throat. "Oh. Are my lessons not up to your excitement, Lady Evelyn?" Evy opened her eyes to see Felius-sensei smiling at her. Embarrassed, she sat up from the couch and began bowing. "I'm sorry, sensei. I was resting and didn't notice that I'd fallen asleep." "I understand but I do need you awake and alert for my class. Can you do that for me, Lady Evelyn?" "Of course." They heard a knock on the door. Maj came in and looked around the two pensively. "Is there anything wrong?" Felius' sensei was the one who manage to ask the question. Evy's face was stoic as she lets Maj keep staring at her. After a tense minute, he smiled at Fel
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 19: Principles
"Sit down and try to listen to what I have to say." Evy sat down on the grass, her eyes following her every move. She was still agitated over the fact, that Santina was still in a bad mood over her words that seemed to have offended her. Evy was gazing at her teacher for any indication that she was going to use her magic on her because she has an aching feeling Santina would not be opposed to doing it. "Tell me what you've read that you've already understood. That's saying if you understood anything at all." Yeah, Santina's still mad. "There are four principles in the usage of spell casting, mainly the fixed and dependent spell consummation; intention will always be in correspondence to casting root origin; the affinity of natural source is mirrored from one’s essence signature and; practical casting time should be congruent to the spell level requirement an
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 20: Her Sin
Dune had left the evening prior. That meant at the early mornings and late evenings, she has to do all her drills by herself. It’s a bit reminiscent that Dune happened to be her most unexpected confider since waking up in Polvaros. The man was a big mass of trouble and her respect for him was enormous. As she was carrying a large chunk of weight up the mountains to get her head out from her last interaction with Santina, she saw something fly up above her. Taking a rest, she lays down her weights and inspected the bird flying down. Astonished to discover that it had been a bird half her size with white feathers and a hint of brown spots. It was carrying a large box and carefully landing near her. She stood back and waited if it was hostile but she quickly learned that it was a messenger bird from the insignia on its foot.
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 21: Blind Encounters
Evy waited in anticipation. Upon hearing the sounds of running shears, she stood her ground and overtly tried feeling for her core to burst. “Barrier!” She timed the moment of the winds coming after her, before converting her essence and visualizing a hard shield. She trusted her decision and heard a distinct pop. Evy deflected the air cutter. Using that opportunity, she used body enhancement and went hard for a tackle. “Ice wall!” Her eyes scanned the grounds shaking under Santina. Ice snakes up from the ground and towered over her. Already predicting the countermeasures, she easily changed the trajectory of her plan and focused the enhancement on her legs before jumping up over the wall. She grabs the edge of it and maneuvered herself over it. She used gravity in her favor while going down and went on the attack. Staring down, she wasn’t surprised that Santina had already erected an ice shield to protect herse
The One who does Not Understand Isekai Chapter 22: On my way
Evy spent the day like usual. She woke up, ate breakfast, dressed up, and attended classes. Tonight was her expected departure. She's been planning about it for days. She even took up the time to inquire about Julius sensei about the topography of the kingdom and made sure to remember about the direction to Black Lagoon. Specific turns and pathways she had to acquire from Mina and Treya. Purchasing potions and getting back her request for her scabbard and attire, she was ready to go. Of course, there's only one thing left to do. ►►►►►►► It was almost evening, the sunset was beautiful to watch at this time of day. Especially since the staff will probably have less to do and is preparing dinner then later taking a rest. Fatigue hits after that, which means people sleeping. Back at home, at night was when she felt like working. Mostly because there are less distractions. Fewer noises.
