Bab 62: Mabel Meets Her New Sisters

Melina and Aurora strolled through the tranquil paths of the sect, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the well-tended gardens. The sect's disciples were busy with their training, but these two, who were not affiliated with the sect, found a moment to relax and enjoy each other's company. The air between them was light and teasing.

"Still can't believe you got that last technique right on your first try," Aurora remarked, her tone playful but with a hint of genuine surprise. She pushed a strand of her silver hair behind her ear as she eyed Melina. "Honestly, who knew you'd finally listen to instructions?"

Melina grinned, her green eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, I had to show you up at some point, didn't I? Besides, someone has to keep you on your toes. We can't have the great Aurora thinking she's the best at everything."
