The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 342

The silver whip in Lola’s hand was abruptly snatched away.

The sharp sound of the whip striking flesh echoed, leaving a vivid, bloody mark stretching from Lola’s left shoulder to her right side.

The sheer force of the blow sent her stumbling back several steps.

The searing pain from the wound caused cold sweat to bead on her forehead almost instantly.

Still, her gaze remained locked on the girl as she gritted her teeth and warned, “I’m telling you, that’s enough!”

The girl, however, blinked innocently and replied, “Didn’t you say earlier that the best way to strengthen your body is to endure external damage? You’re so weak. I’m just being kind and helping you out. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”

Lola nearly choked on her own blood upon hearing those words.

She never imagined the girl would twist the casual remark she’d made to Zach into an excuse to beat her.

But before Lola could respond, the relentless sound of the whip striking her body echoed again and again.

It wasn’t until Lola’s entire body was covered in bruises and welts, leaving no patch of skin unscathed, that the girl finally stopped.

The girl strolled over casually, leaned down slightly, and flashed a pure smile on her fair face. “Feeling stronger now, Instructor Lola?”

Lola instinctively shrank back as the girl loomed over her.

‘Devil! This lunatic is a devil!‘ Lola thought.

The girl blinked, her expression briefly puzzled. “No improvement?”

Lola flinched back again.

When Lola remained silent, the girl frowned. A trace of regret flickered across her face. “So all the time I spent helping you was wasted? You made me waste so much effort. What should I do about that?”

Lola’s breath hitched as she watched the girl seriously ponder her next move.

Without thinking, Lola blurted out, “Yes! Yes, I feel stronger!”

The girl finally nodded with satisfaction.

But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the girl said with confusion, “Still, even though I was helping you, the training ground rules say I shouldn’t hit an instructor. So…”

Lola felt a chilling murderous intent flicker in the girl’s eyes, and her heart leaped into her throat.

Desperately, she shook her head and said, “No! It’s fine! I asked you to help me get stronger! That means it’s not against the

rules!”

The girl stared at her in silence, her expression unreadable.

Just when Lola thought her heart would stop, the girl finally said, “Boring.”
