"And you."
Suddenly, Astra called out as she glanced at her pupil.
"T-Teacher!"
Elara stuttered, jolting awake from her thoughts and the instant she realized what she was thinking about and how she was caught red-handed by her teacher, her face turned red from embarrassment.
"Don't lose your focus," Astra spoke with a strict look on her face.
"It is good that you seem to be enjoying your time in the Academy, seeing you smile more often melts my heart, however, do not forget that at the end of the day, you are my, Astra Elysia Vesta's pupil, you represent my name, therefore, you are not allowed to slack off.
Don't be this brat's shadow, show the world that you, my pupil, are better than him."
Astra spoke and Vaan just stared at his mother with a deadpan look on his face. He had no clue why when it came to Elara, his mother seemed to forget that he was her child, her own blood!
