"Fine, I accept you as my combat instructor, but don't expect me to stand on ceremony around you."
The Field Marshal had agreed to all of his conditions and shown initiative in recruiting allies, so Wyatt had no reason to refuse her simple request to be his combat instructor.
"I don't care about that as long as you follow my teachings sincerely and practice hard," she replied. Although old-school, the Field Marshal didn't care for formalities between a teacher and student. She was simply satisfied that Wyatt was willing to take her as his combat instructor. She couldn't ask for a better student, though he had his quirks.
No matter how talented a student was, the teacher could never guarantee that their student would outgrow them or sometimes outlive them. After all, a talented student with limitless potential was like a candle burning on both ends. One couldn't guarantee that they would last the entire night.
However, in Wyatt's case, he had already achieved a temporary peak, which was more than enough assurance that Wyatt, as her student, would not only outgrow her but also outlive her. As a teacher, the Field Marshal was relieved to be able to teach such a student, knowing that as long as she did her job properly, Wyatt would succeed. After all, one of a teacher's greatest fears was to see their student fail in life.
"Now let's get back to the Space Furnace Barrier array formation. Help me set it up," Wyatt said as he passed her a storage card containing the ingredients for the array and also shared the array formation blueprint with her grimoire, including detailed instructions on her part.
The Field Marshal nodded, taking the storage card. Though she wasn't an array master herself, as the wife of one of the most capable array masters the Card world had ever seen, her knowledge was enough to follow Wyatt's instructions and lay the groundwork for the array formation. She would make capable assistant.
With her current knowledge of array formations, she could clear a platinum-rank array master exam, but taking the low-rank exam as one of the top ten strongest card apprentices and the Southern Hero would blemish her titles. So, she chose not to officially become an array master. It was better this way as she could attempt the Diamond-rank array master exam when she was sure and shock the world, showing that she wasn't just about brawn but brains too.
Soon, Wyatt and the Field Marshal got busy setting up the Space Furnace Barrier array formation over the LSG deposit they had found earlier.
The reason Wyatt paused his sparring session with the Field Marshal midway to build an array formation was not because he wanted to test it, but because he felt that time spent on the sparring session in this realm would be more productive if he were simultaneously using the array formation to mine and refine the liquid spirit gold from the LSG deposit they had found earlier.
Now that he had spent almost all of his fortune registering the Lil Red Storm realm with devil merchant code and purchasing all the rights to it from the devil merchant code, Wyatt was a little desprate, wanting to raise his wealth back to its original level or more as soon as possible. The sooner he could elevate his financial well-being, the sooner he could focus on other things with little worry. After all, an empty wallet was a worry in itself.
Not to mention, there were other concerns regarding this LSG mining and refining project. He had no idea how the realm would react to him extracting the resources it had painstakingly gathered. Therefore, during his combat lessons with the Field Marshal, Wyatt planned to monitor the performance of the array formation and the reaction of the realm's Will to his mining.
However, Wyatt had a feeling that the realm would react mildly to his LSG mining because the realm had not used its power to suppress their power the moment they stepped into the realm. Considering the welcome dark races got in the Card world or any other realm they invaded, so far, the Lil Red Storm had been very welcoming to him and the Field Marshal. This was why Wyatt was a little optimistic that the realm's Will's reaction to his mining would be mild.
Nonetheless, considering that the realm did not have any life forms and went to great lengths to hoard these resources, Wyatt could not guarantee that there would be no reaction from the realm's Will. Therefore, he needed to monitor the array formation at its initial mining and refining period, such that if the realm were to react, he should be able to modify the array formation in time to withstand the realm's wrath and proceed with mining and refining.
"Wyatt, will this array formation be able to withstand the climate change of this realm?" the Field Marshal asked as she was laying the groundwork for the array formation using the detailed array formation blueprint shared with her grimoire by Wyatt.
This array was built with space isolation barrier as the base, so climate change should not matter. That would be the case if it were in the Card World, but here in the Lil Red Storm realm, considering that its space is so fragile that even a strong wind can cause a tear in the fabric of its space, the climate change was indeed a serious issue troubling the life of the array formation they were planning to set up to mine and refine LSG.
"I made the array formation as sturdy as possible. Small-scale space tears or distortions should not be able to affect the array formation, but let's see what happens. Since I need to understand how establishing an array formation will affect the surroundings, if the change is not high, then the array formation will have a long
lifespan."
