Chương 168: Is She Scared Of Me Again?

"Miss, are you alright?" Helia asked, feeling worried to see her pupil gasping for air as if she took on manual labor. "Did something go wrong? Did you see your core?"

Ember shook her head in embarrassment. She didn't dare look her teacher in the eyes.

"Then what happened? Something must have gone wrong for you to react like this."

"I-I…I just pushed myself too hard. I didn't want to disappoint you…"

"Do not worry about disappointing me, Miss," Helia assured, not knowing what exactly had happened to her pupil. All she saw was Ember's entire face turning red and wondered if something had gone wrong with her power. "It is fine to take an easy pace. We are not in a hurry, and what we want is for you to understand your own power. Please try not to be self-conscious. You need to be calm. Hmm, should we take a break first?"

"I…yes, I am sorry…I need some time…" Ember muttered weakly and walked away from the middle of the training grounds.
