Over time, Ana's training yielded significant improvements in her skills. After the first month, her mana exhaustion seemed to disappear, which only encouraged her to study harder.
Between defense training with Khai and studying endlessly with Madge, Ana had little time to spare outside of class with her friends anymore. In the little free time she had, she took naps to rest her body so she could keep up with the demanding turn that her life had taken. She also stuck to studying by herself in her room so she could switch between the reading materials for class and the ones that Madge provided to her.
Gradually, Meghan and George noticed that Ana was spending less time with them, which made them uncomfortable given her history with Sean.
