"With so much tleft, I'll give it my all." Orion's gaze settled on her, eventually lowering as he spoke in a cool tone, "Don't ask such simple questions in the future!" Lemira chuckled. Was that his way of saying she could keep asking? For the following days, Lemira would hang around the infirmary after school, not leaving until she finished her homework. Evelina, on the other hand, began to lose focus in class due to her e-sports training, even falling asleep during lessons.

Of course, being a teacher's pet, Evelina only had to mention she wasn't feeling well, and the teacher let it slide.

Lemira saw Evelina bragging about the training camp on Facebook, posting photos and videos of her battling alongside the brothers in the game, all under a unified team tag. That nwas the sas in her past life, although Lemira hadn't been a part of it.

"Too busy with games to do your homework?" Orion approached, noticing the gaming video on her phone. Lemira shook her head, "No, just browsing. Study's my top priority right now." "With the midterm exam next week, if you make it into the top hundred, you can play the game." Lemira looked up, smiling, "Then, will you be my lead?" She knew Orion played the game, too.

Orion, with a half-lowered gaze, still looked effortlessly cool. He replied, "Haven't played in a while. Let's see how you do in the exam." "It's a promise then." Watching Orion's retreating figure, Lemira was determined to rank in the top hundred. After all, Orion seemed pretty confident in his skills.

Back in her previous life, she had been quite the gamer herself. Maybe, just maybe, she could surprise Orion in the gand reclaim sof her pride. Suddenly, Lemira was looking forward to it.

After finishing her homework, she headed home, only to find Lucian sitting on the couch as she entered the living room.

Her heart skipped a beat. Why was he hearly? Hadn't her brothers been at the training camp, usually returning late? Lucian looked up, his tone stern, "Where have you been? It's late!" Lemira's heart raced, hoping he hadn't discovered her after-school visits to the infirmary. She didn't want to lose that last bit of solitude.

Looking down, she replied, "I was at the public library. It's quiet there, helpsfocus." "Letsee your backpack." Handing it over, Lemira watched as Lucian flipped through her notebooks, filled with notes and practice tests. After a thorough inspection, Lucian looked puzzled. The butler had reported that Lemira hadn't been coming hon time, and they didn't know where she was. Turned out, she had been studying after all. Lucian set the backpack down, "Lemon, we need to talk." "Lucian, what about?" Seeing the quiet Lemira before him, Lucian felt she had changed a lot, yet couldn't pinpoint exactly how.

Previously, Lemira would have been tearfully protesting or even tattling. But now, she remained silent. It seemed Lemira was slipping from their control.
