"As for Asher, he understands this fact. That is why he's willing to dedicate all his efforts to improving himself. And unlike you, he doesn't complain or make excuses. He just keeps on working, even when the both of you are resting. Such a good boy, isn't he? Why can't the two of you follow his example? Come on! Get back to it! Now!"
Scarlet grumbled under her breath, complaining about Rias' harsh training methods and criticism, but she dragged herself off the ground and picked up her sword anyway.
Meanwhile, Cecil let out a sigh and stood up with less reluctance than Scarlet. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. The look in her green orbs was calm and focused as she began practicing her sword art again.
A smile flashed across Asher's face when he saw the two young women resume their exercises.
