Terra maintained a cold demeanor, unfazed by the cheers that decorated the skies for her.
It wasn't any different, and somehow she felt she didn't deserve it.
She allowed herself to soak into her teacher Susan's hug, knowing her achievements would simply be used by this woman to gain more traction.
It was a world where only the fittest survived.
"You did well, Terra. Honestly, I have no advice for you. Your casting was beautiful, and you only need to work harder to achieve your goal." Susan smiled.
"Thank you, Miss. I appreciate your efforts," Terra said with a forced response.
It didn't come from her heart, but she was used to it.
Used to the praises.
Giving thanks for the praises.
Being the spotlight.
Going according to the wishes of her family and doing her best.
She was already numb.
Even her current relationship was a family wish, planned by those power-hungry demons at the top.
Power doesn't come with freedom at all.
You are more trapped.
