Chapter 263 History Lesson

With the spar completed, both of them went back upstairs to get some refreshments. Carlena seemed a bit exhausted after using so much mana, but Alex was alright, other than the blindness and still feeling weak from whatever Carlena did to him. When he asked Carlena if she could remove the hexes, she simply shrugged, although he couldn't see it, and said she doesn't usually remove hexes when she used them and so she didn't bother learning how. But she did say it should wear off in a while, which didn't improve his mood one bit.

Alex sat down on the couch, thinking back to the fight and realizing just how much he lacked in terms of raw skills. Sure he could have used [Shadow Control], the enchantments of his armour and used [Shadow Swim] to escape her pursuit, but that didn't fix the core problem. If he were ever in a situation where shadow abilities failed him, he would lose, and that fight proved that, which means he needed to improve his sword skills.
