Watching intently both Marcus and Lilia stared with astonishment at Ardea's punch, but not because of is power.
In fact, she had not enhanced her ability in any way with magic or skills, and simply demonstrated the profound mastery over her technique.
Even for Marcus who was not someone that fought with his fists, it was a sight to behold.
Yet, for Lilia it was like an amateur who witnessed a peak expert performing the same craft as them.
She could tell just how much higher Ardea was in the realm of fighting than she was with how refined her technique was.
"I suppose that my demonstration was insightful." Ardea said with a smile, as she saw Lilia's gaping mouth and stunned expression.
After a few moments once she had come back to herself, Lilia nodded her head vigorously at Ardea, and said, "I promise that I will work hard to be worthy of being your apprentice. When you come back in four years, I promise I will be so much stronger you will not recognize me."
