"Well done, you've finally managed to make it sprout."

Cecil panted, nodding vigorously as she wiped away a drop of sweat rolling down her face.

There was a potted plant in front of her, and it has finally began to sprout. Cecil gazed at it, her limpid eyes gleaming.

"The first step is always the hardest, since you have managed to make it sprout, it will be easier to enhance its growth from now," her teacher clapped on her back, wearing a grin on her boyish face. "I'm proud to have you as my student, if only everyone took their lessons seriously like you do."

Cecil smiled, looking at her teacher. "Miss Eri, it is because I have an important goal in mind. If I were to be honest, without this goal, I would have probably avoided attending this academy."
