Spying? Really? This Again?
I kept training.
✔ Ignoring Seria.
✔ Pretending she wasn't watching my every move.
✔ Acting like I didn't notice her judging the sh*t out of me.
But after an hour of this?
I was done.
I turned to her and shouted across the training field—
"OI! YOU GOT A DAMN PROBLEM?!"
Seria blinked.
Then, finally, she walked over.

Seria Confronts Me (Again)
She stopped a few feet away, arms crossed.
"You fight like a commoner."
I scoffed. "The f*ck is that supposed to mean?"
"You don't have formal training. Your movements are rough, inefficient. But…" She narrowed her eyes. "You're improving too fast."
Oh, for f*ck's sake.
I wiped sweat off my face. "So what? Maybe I'm just talented."
Seria wasn't buying it.
"No noble learns this quickly without a teacher."
I shrugged. "Maybe I just have a good work ethic."
"Or maybe," she said slowly, "you're not who you say you are."
I gritted my teeth.
"You're really f*cking annoying, you know that?"
She smirked. "And you're really f*cking suspicious."

Why Is She So Damn Stubborn?!
This girl.
This. F*cking. Girl.
She refused to give up.
I sighed, placing my hands on my hips. "Alright, fine. What do you want, exactly?"
"The truth."
"Too bad. Not for sale."
She clicked her tongue. "Then I'll find it myself."
I groaned. "You're really determined to be a pain in my ass, huh?"
Seria just smirked.
I wanted to punch a wall.
Or her.

The Stalemate – No One's Backing Down
She stared at me.
I stared back.
Neither of us moved.
Finally, I sighed and waved her off.
"I don't have time for this. Go bother someone else."
Seria didn't move.
I walked past her. "F*ck off, Seria."
"I will."
I stopped.
She smirked again. "Once I get my answer."
God. F*cking. Damn it.
Ignoring Her is the Best Strategy
I didn't say another word.
I didn't glare.
I didn't sigh.
I just turned around and kept training.
If Seria wanted to follow me around like a lost puppy, then f*cking fine.
I was done wasting my energy on her bullsh*t.

Seria Keeps Pushing – I Don't React
After a minute of silence, Seria finally spoke again.
"So that's it? You're just gonna ignore me?"
I kept punching the training dummy.
"You can't just pretend I'm not here."
I grabbed some weights. Lifted. Dropped. Repeat.
"I know you heard me."
I adjusted my stance, focusing on my balance.
"...Seriously?"
Still nothing.
---
This is Actually Driving Her Crazy
Seria shifted her weight, tapping her foot.
I could practically feel her frustration building.
"You're really not going to say anything?"
Silence.
She exhaled sharply.
"Fine. Be that way."
I smirked to myself. It's working.
---
She Eventually Leaves… I Think
After a few more minutes, Seria finally gave up.
"...Tch. Whatever."
And then?
Footsteps.
Getting quieter.
I waited a few seconds before finally glancing over my shoulder.
She was gone.
I let out a slow breath.
"Finally."
---
Moving Forward – Back to My Own Damn Business
With that problem (hopefully) out of the way, I could finally focus on what actually mattered.
✔ More training.
✔ Planning my next move.
✔ Figuring out what to do about this damn disguise issue.
But something told me this wasn't the last time Seria would be a pain in my ass.
For now, though?
I'd take the f*cking win.
