Chapter 31: LET THE WIND LEAD

Astra fired a barrage of anemo arrows at the Atlas, each one shattering upon impact against its impenetrable skin. Despite her efforts, Astra knew that she was not yet operating at full power, making her attack seem hopeless and ineffective. 

"Hakurin, let me take it from now dear girl. You haven't fully recovered yet. By the Anemo Celestial, I refuse to see you hurt yourself more." pleaded Aura, her stigmata.

Astra's voice rose to a fever pitch as she spoke, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. "But I am the senior here!" she cried out, her words echoing through the air. "It's my responsibility to protect them! You can't expect me to sit down there and recover while I see them getting all bashed up!"

Her chest heaved with emotion as she continued, her voice trembling with anger and frustration. "You knew how I felt when something just like this happened a long back!" she exclaimed. "I don't want to repeat that tragedy again!"
