Chapter 1319: Quest Complete
Allan and Felicia glanced the fight with great interest, conversing as they saw the children fight amazingly well and coordinated. Although Celica and Celeste were very strong and crucial in the fight, both had to admit that Sylphy was the leader and pillar of everything.
Her durability thanks to her incredible equipment, her amazing swordsmanship techniques, her potent, endless magic spell barrage, and the many other tricks she possessed, including that powerful domain of thunder that her father had never seen before... She was a true hero already.
"Are you sure she's not as strong as you already, Allan?" Felicia laughed as she saw Sylphy fighting mightily. "She's too ridiculous! If anything, the only thing missing is a stronger magic and physique."
"Yeah, she's strong, but don't overestimate her either, there are still many flaws within her fighting style," Allan laughed. "Nonetheless, she's amazingly strong, she is a diamond on the rough, needs more polishing. Something that I can't do on my own with Faylen."
"But you two are so talented..." laughed Felicia.
"Yeah but that doesn't directly translate to being good at teaching everything we can and know," said Allan. "There is a limit of the things we can teach her; we lack the expertise. Her mother perhaps can still teach her many things, but eventually, she needs to interact with proper teachers, academy professors capable of extracting the best qualities of their students. I'm a warrior, not a teacher at the end... My girl needs to open her horizons. And you, well, you're one of those professors she needed."
"Heh, I suppose you're not wrong in that..." Felicia smiled. "Okay Allan, I'll do my best to teach that girl, she seems to have endless potential... So much that..."
"That she could even one day slay the gods?" Allan wondered, smiling at his daughter.
"What? You...!" muttered Felicia.
"Its just a thought, nothing else," Allan said. "I would never force her to do anything... But I can already tell there's no need for that either, Sylphy's an innate idealist, she wants to change the world for the better. She also knows more about what the gods have done... She hates them... I fear that one day, this girl is going to eventually do the unthinkable. All just to help us, to help the world she loves..."
"And you're okay with that?" Felicia wondered.
"Of course I'm not... We've been constantly trying to change her a bit, to make her more grounded..." sighed Allan. "But with someone like Sylphy, that's impossible. It's as if that girl already came with a whole developed personality from the get-go, and would not change since she was born, haha."
"Hah, I see..." Felicia squinted her eyes. "That might explain a few things... Yes."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Allan wondered.
"Oh, nothing... Well, what you said sounds quite terrifying on its own accord, but don't say it so confidently," laughed Felicia. "Your daughter is very grounded to the earth; she just wants to live her day-to-day life. One day she might do incredible things, world-changing ones... Or perhaps not at all. I've had many students in the past, but she's the most unpredictable of them all. I honestly... have no idea what idea what this girl will one day become..."
"Hahah, I guess? That's my girl," laughed Allan.
As the father and Felicia walked towards Sylphy and her team, Sylphy sighed in relief, sitting over the burnt grass with a smile, looking at the system notifications.

"Nice, though it's the same rewards as before?" wondered Sylphy. "A bit boring, but it still a good reward anyways."
She was rather interested in that Skill Scroll Fragment, she needed just another one to complete it, and she suspected she would get yet another new quest once she confronted the Miasmic Nest Lord, most likely.
"So I can learn a Skill from the Miasmic Beasts?" wondered Sylphy. "That's weird... But I always get weird Skill Scrolls anyways."
Sylphy used her heavenly blazing wall flames to quickly cover the surroundings and purify everything else left behind with miasma, even if she had to burn through the grass a bit.
Afterwards, she moved to see her friends, who were quite fine thanks to her armor, although it was already beginning to dissipate, it didn't last longer than ten minutes, and if it takes too much damage, this time limit decreases faster too.
"Sylphy, we did it!" Celica celebrated.
"Yeah! Well done everyone!" said Sylphy. "We deserve a short rest I think, I doubt everyone wants to dive in right away."
"At least twenty minutes..." Celeste sighed in relief, sitting over the grass. "Oof, so many of those monsters everywhere, and they're so crazy and fast, it's insane..."
"Yeah, let's take a rest everyone!" said Sylphy's father. "Want to have some snack while resting? I brought some sandwiches." He said, opening his storage ring and bringing forth a table, seats, and food.
"Nice! Papa really became like a house husband now, bringing food and everything, you're doing well as a replacement for mama," Sylphy nodded with a smile.
"E-Eh? House husband?" Allan was shocked at first, but then laughed. "Hahaha! I guess so, I just want to help everyone."
Felicia couldn't help but blush a little after that, she didn't know Allan had such a cute side.
"I want more of Allan's meals... even in my dreams, I like to imagine he's my cute house husband..." Alas, they were just her daydreams.
