章節 274: Fortress World

The bright sun illuminated the sky, casting warm rays of light over the land. As I walked back home with Chloe, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction from my two-hour practice session. My muscles ached from exertion, but it was a good kind of ache - the kind that told me I had pushed myself to my limits.

Chloe walked beside me, her eyes gleaming with amusement. She had watched as I stumbled and fell during my practice session, but I knew better than to ask what was so funny. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of laughing at me, not after I had worked so hard.

As we approached our house, I could feel my stomach rumbling with hunger. I couldn't wait for my breakfast to arrive, and I was glad to have Chloe there to keep me company. She sat beside me, her smile a gentle reassurance that everything was alright.
