The girls remained utterly bewildered for a few moments, staring blankly at the proud professor before Aria murmured, still in a daze.
"So does that mean... Miss Myra, do you also have a Dark Core...?"
Myra paused mid-sip, her wine glass hovering near her lips.
"Me? Oh no, darling. I don't have a Dark Core..."
She leaned in, her face stopping just a few inches away from Aria's wide-eyed expression.
"I have something far more... interesting."
Then, just as quickly, the mysterious tension vanished. Myra giggled softly, waving her hand dismissively.
"But that's a story for another time~ Right now, aren't we here to discuss the training for all of you?"
Sera flinched in surprise. "W-Wait, us too...? I mean, we'll also receive training... and from the strongest combat and healer Crown in the empire at that?"
Aria nodded violently, both of their eyes instantly gleaming with pure admiration and excitement.
Myra chuckled softly.
