It has been several days since they first began their tour, and now it has come to an end.

Following Jake, she visited many places over the past month, creating memories that will last her for many years to come.

"Thank you for this wonderful month," Grace said as she sat across from him during a short coffee break.

"Just hoping to help you create some good memories too," Jake replied, looking at her.

Grace nodded and asked playfully, "So, tell me, how should I repay you?"

"Repay me? There's no need for that," Jake laughed.

"No, this won't do," Grace shook her head. Looking straight into his eyes, she said, "My principles won't allow this. I must repay you in some way."

Jake nodded in understanding. After some careful thought, he said, "How about you teach me something?"

Grace, who had hoped he might ask her out or suggest becoming his girlfriend, looked at him speechlessly.

Despite maintaining a friendly demeanor, her inner world was in turmoil.

She had imagined him saying something like, "How about we go on a real date?" or even, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Her thoughts raced through scenarios where he would hold her hand, pull her in for a kiss, or confess his feelings. Instead, his request caught her off guard, leaving her to wrestle with her disappointment and the fluttering hope for a different kind of connection.

She forced a smile and said, "Sure, I'd be happy to teach you. What would you like to learn?"

' All those secret books of mine have surely described forbidden relationship between Teacher and student' she thought as she looked at jake.

Grace was an Saintess candidate before her untimely death, due to this her life was very strict but even among that strictness the maids talk about love and doing stuff with knights caught her ears.

Unable to quench her curiosities she bribed one maid and asked her about relationship and stuff and the maid aided her by giving her many love fantasies books.

Hence her knowledge about all this stuff comes from books that are even based on real incidents, and thia caused her think about teacher student forbidden relationships with jake.

"[...I stand corrected, there really is no normal person near Jake]," Nexus remarked speechlessly, as Grace's face clearly revealed her lewd thoughts. Even a kid could tell what she was imagining just by looking at her expression.

"True, even at first I thought she was normal, but I guess that was just a fluke," Myne sighed helplessly. Jake, meanwhile, was explaining his desire to learn more about light magic and her Holy Magic, completely oblivious to Grace's thoughts.

It's not his fault, after all. Everyone around him is pervert, so such expressions seem normal to him.

"So, you want to learn my magic? Okay, I will teach you," Grace readily agreed, causing Jake to raise his eyebrows.

"Is it okay for you to agree this easily?" Jake asked, surprised.

"My world is destroyed anyway. The god we used to worship never came to rescue us, so what's the point in keeping all this knowledge to myself?" Grace shrugged.

Jake nodded at her words and said, "That god of yours might be worshipped in countless worlds, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even know your world is destroyed."

Grace nodded at his statement. "You might be right. Gods can be indifferent or simply unaware of every single world under their domain," she said thoughtfully.

Turning her attention back to the matter at hand, she began explaining. "Light magic and Holy magic, though closely related, are distinct in their applications and origins. Light magic primarily involves harnessing the pure energy of light. It can be used for a variety of purposes, from illuminating dark areas to creating powerful offensive spells that can blind or burn enemies.

Light magic is versatile and can be adapted to many situations."

She paused, ensuring Jake was following before continuing. "Holy magic, on the other hand, is more specialized. It draws its power from divine sources, often requiring a connection to a deity or higher power. Holy magic is primarily used for healing, protection, and purification. It can cleanse curses, heal wounds, and create barriers that protect against dark forces.

While it can also be used offensively, its true strength lies in its ability to support and safeguard."@@novelbin@@

Grace smiled slightly. "I'll start by teaching you the basics of light magic. Once you're comfortable with that, we can move on to the more intricate and demanding Holy magic. It will take time and patience, but I believe you have the potential to master both."

Jake shook his head and clarified, "What I meant by learning from you is that I want to learn your spells. I'm already somewhat capable in light magic. As for Holy Magic, we have a different source for it called Divine Magic." Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

Grace nodded at Jake's words. "I see. That's interesting. Each world has its own unique way of categorizing and harnessing magic. So, tell me, Jake, how many tiers of magic can you use?"

Jake paused, considering his answer. "Currently, I can use up to Tier 5 magic. However, I have the potential to use up to Tier 10, but I'm limited by my current realm."

Grace raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "Tier 10? That's quite impressive. Most practitioners struggle to even dream of reaching such a high level. How did you come to understand such advanced magic?"

Jake shrugged modestly. "I've had a lot of help along the way. My teacher is a master of Divine Magic, and I've also had access to ancient tomes and relics that contain vast knowledge about light and divine spells. It's a combination of rigorous training, access to rare resources, and, of course, a bit of luck."

[I would have accepted this bullshit if I didn't know you had Light-related Authority,] Nexus commented, causing Jake to nearly choke on his smile. Despite the internal disruption, he managed to maintain his composure and continued to converse with Grace, smiling as if nothing had happened.

Grace smiled. "Luck often favors the prepared. What kinds of Tier 5 spells can you use? Are they primarily offensive, defensive, or a mix of both?"

"A mix of both," Jake replied. "I can create powerful light-based attacks, like beams and explosions, that can damage or disorient my enemies. On the defensive side, I can conjure shields of light that can block both physical and magical attacks. I also have a few utility spells, like light healing and invisibility."

Grace's eyes sparkled with interest. "That's quite a versatile skill set. In my world, we categorized spells similarly, but our approach to light magic was more focused on its healing and protective aspects, while Holy Magic took on the offensive role against dark forces."

"That makes sense," Jake said. "In my training, the focus has been more balanced, allowing me to adapt to various situations. But I'm curious—what kind of spells do you think I could learn from you that I might not have encountered before?"

Grace thought for a moment. "Well, one spell that comes to mind is the 'Sacred Light of Purification.' It's a Tier 6 spell in my world, used to cleanse corruption and darkness from large areas. It's particularly effective against curses and undead. Another spell is 'Divine Retribution,' a Tier 7 offensive spell that channels divine energy into a powerful strike against evil entities.

It's not just about raw power but also the purity of the energy used."

"Bahhh, what cheesy names for simple techniques," Myne commented, unable to hide her disdain. As an ancient light spirit, she found those names quite amusing.

'Cant you two stop for a moment? ' Jake mentally asked.

Myne smirked. "Trust me, I've seen light magic in many forms, and while the names might be flashy, the essence is what truly matters. Still, it's entertaining to hear how things evolve."

Knowing he wont be getting any response from these two bastards his focus went back to Grace.

Jake's eyes widened with interest. "Those sound incredible. Sacred Light of Purification would be especially useful against the dark forces we often encounter. Divine Retribution sounds like it could be a game-changer in battles against particularly tough foes."

Grace nodded. "Exactly. Both spells require a deep connection to the source of your light or divine magic. They also demand a lot of energy and concentration, which is why they're higher-tier spells. But with your potential, I believe you could master them."

"Thank you, Grace," Jake said sincerely. "I'm eager to start learning these spells. I think they'll greatly enhance my abilities."

Grace smiled warmly. "I'm glad to share my knowledge with you, Jake. Let's begin with the fundamentals of these spells, and then we can gradually work our way up. It will be challenging, but I have no doubt that you'll be able to handle it."

With that, they settled into a comfortable routine, exchanging knowledge and refining their magical skills, each day bringing them closer to mastering the spells that would aid them in their future endeavours...at least for Jake, Grace only focus was on the forbidden love she had learnt in books.
