Ana let out a helpless sigh, immediately noticing the 'you gotta be kidding me' expression on Double Leaf, and leisurely said, "I've lost all of my memories from that half year, not a single trace left, and I even flipped through the books and materials I had with me for leisure at the time, but none of it rings a bell."
Double Leaf adjusted her glasses and asked seriously, "Mentor, could it be that you're suffering from some magic barrier?"
