Chapter 834 The Druids Of Arcadia
-----
"Wooow! Lady Planta is the strongest ever!" Acorn celebrated.
"This was the expected outcome." Nieve smiled.
"Johanna did pack a punch though, that magic she used... I've never seen something like that before. It is different from Titan." Brisingra said.
"That is indeed different, while I channel Beast Spirit Totems and combine them into my body or can summon them, they're always in the form of flames or wood." Titan explained. "Sometimes other elements... But she can quite literally grow the organic parts of beast spirits into her very body. Those tattoos are most likely Totem Tattoos, she has permanently fused with the spirits to gain this power."
"I guessed the same..." I nodded. "Hey Rita, calm down a bit..."
"You didn't hit her enough! I would have smashed her damn skull! Why do you always go easy on bullies?!" Rita got really pissed off.
I suppose she had always been like this. When I used to get bullied at school for not being able to talk English too well yet due to having been raised by mostly Spanish-speaking parents, she always stood there for me and beat them up.
I guess her old habit resurfaced when she saw Johanna being a very big asshole against me for no reason...
"But Grandma! I-I didn't lose, I have yet to show her off all I've got!" Johanna said angrily.
"Enough!" Austucia cried. "Johanna, I didn't raise you to become like this! You've lost based in the rules I set, so apologize."
"But...!"
"Apologize now! Or I will never talk to you again for being such a disrespectful niece! You're supposed to be the pride of the Druids of the Society of Verdant Green, yet you act like a spoiled teenager! Did I raise you badly?! Not only you're humiliating yourself by acting unreasonably, but you're humiliating me and the rest of our family!"
"Grandma..."
Johanna suddenly changed her expression, looking very sad. Austucia seemed like such a carefree granny, but she had a strict side to her.n).0velbIn

"Y-You...!" Johanna felt embarrassed when I said those words.
"Are you sure, Planta?" Sighed Austucia. "You are way too gentlehearted... Are you a mother too?"
"Yeah, I am my own daughter. Johanna's attitude slightly reminded me of her. Although my daughter never went so far, she also had her times when she became rude and a bit bratty." I giggled. "Reprimanding them is good but doing it too harshly to the point you make them feel unloved is not good either. She learned her lesson after tasting defeat, right?"
I glanced the young druid's eyes. Her own emerald eyes widened as she noticed my intentions.
"Yeah..." She said. "I-I... No, still. I have to apologize. Grandma is right, I was being ridiculous. I... I got a bit carried away. No matter what I try, all the spirits consider you their friends. I was foolish to doubt their words."
The, she walked to my side and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry for being like this... I didn't know who you were and... I guess there's no excuse." She apologized. "I'll take any punishment for my errors, grandma."
She was more like apologizing to her own grandmother than to me, I felt it. She was really trying to make her happier.
"Hmph, okay... If you learned your lesson then!" Her grandmother sighed. "Look, I know you're skeptical about what's happening here. How about this? Planta, can you bring her along to your little adventures to show her the dangers you're facing?"
