Chapter 24: Flow
Hours passed as the other trainees continued their relentless efforts, honing their control with unwavering focus. As the session neared its end and the group prepared to disperse, Asher dropped down from the ceiling, his body descending in freefall before twisting midair and landing with flawless precision on his feet.
’Weren’t those who awakened on the third try supposed to be hopeless?’ the instructor mused, silently watching Asher blend in with the departing crowd.
"You can stop sneaking around now," the instructor said calmly, his gaze never shifting.
In response, two figures emerged beside him, Harold and the female instructor.
"What are you doing here?" asked Virek, the Astra control instructor, turning toward the pair with a raised brow.
"I came to see how the Tenth Sun would fare," Elowen replied, her tone light. "He breezed through my movement training like it was child’s play."
"Yeah," Harold added, folding his arms. "And now he’s waltzing through Astra training the same way."
"We’re heading to the next training ground," Elowen said with a small, teasing smile. "You coming, or are you going to stay behind and keep reading your erotic novels?"
Virek sighed. "Fine. Let’s go. I’m curious myself."
With that, the trio vanished from sight.
Asher walked calmly behind the rest of the trainees, his thoughts drifting. ’Two more sessions and I’ll be done for the day. Technically, it’s only one because I won’t be allowed to join the second until next month.’
