Chapter 151: Verdant Harmony
Arya was particularly animated, gesturing vividly as she spoke, her clear laughter floating gently on the morning breeze. Emilia listened quietly, her expression composed yet attentive, occasionally nodding and replying gently as Arya's enthusiastic chatter continued.
Noticing Orion's approach, Arya turned her head, a bright smile instantly lighting up her features. "Brother Orion! Good morning!" she greeted him warmly, waving cheerfully.
Emilia raised her head as well, her usually calm eyes observing him and the sword strapped to his waist calmly. She nodded toward him in greeting.
"Morning, Arya, Emilia." Orion greeted back warmly, joining them beside the bench. He settled comfortably, leaning slightly against the bench as he glanced curiously between the two. "You two seem quite energetic today. Did I miss something interesting?"
Arya giggled, shaking her head slightly. "Not really. Emilia was just telling me about the Thunder Elemental Class we'll be attending today. Apparently, Instructor Thalia, who is teaching today, is quite popular among the Thunder affinity students."
Orion raised an eyebrow in mild surprise and interest. "Instructor Thalia, huh? I haven't heard much about her yet."
Arya smiled knowingly, leaning forward slightly as if sharing a secret. "Well, Brother Orion, that's because you rarely ask about teachers or classes. You're always focused on attending classes and then leaving right after. Honestly, you're missing out on some really good instructors."
Orion chuckled lightly, scratching his cheek. "Haha, I suppose you're right. I guess I should pay more attention to more instructors and classes."
Arya playfully rolled her eyes, shaking her head gently. "At least now you know! Anyway, Emilia and I will attend Instructor Thalia's Thunder Elemental Theory class today. It's called 'Thunder Element Fundamentals'. It should be exciting."
Orion nodded thoughtfully, clearly interested in the class despite not having Thunder as his primary element for public view.
