Seated atop a grand bed in an absurdly luxurious room was a divinely handsome boy, eyes closed, expression calm and utterly focused.
…Or at least, that's how it should have looked.
Because if I were truly focused, there is no way I would have the time or mental capacity for such useless and self-indulgent thoughts.
It had been two days since we arrived in the beautiful city of Anciana and ever since then, my life had been painfully simple.
Train, rest and train again.
All of it following that brief but impactful conversation with Viola and Seraphina.
The reason I was going so out of character to do such intense training was because I wanted to reach D-Rank as soon as humanly possible.
I mean, all my plans would fail otherwise.
I had even asked Seraphina to aim for that rank as well, to push herself without holding back and to her credit, she truly was giving it her all.
As for Umbra Sera… I hadn't seen her since then.
