'Damn it…'

I kind of expected this but…

I'm currently being eyed by half of the students in the training grounds like I'm some kind of weirdo.

As I was practicing Shadow Current, I couldn't help but notice that some of my classmates were openly staring, some even pointing fingers at me.

Even Aveline, who was shooting her bow quite a distance away, paused from time to time to glance in my direction with an unreadable expression.

This made it quite difficult to focus on my training.

'I should've gone to the gym…'

Sighing internally, I just lowered my head and continued to train in silence.

In the end, I spent one hour practicing the same move, over and over again, until professor Zane finally dismissed us.

"Attention! That's enough for today, you all can go!"

He announced in a bored tone and simply walked away. Thus, ended the first training session of the semester.
