Ibro didn't comment on her words which carried a lot of pain in it. She didn't take long before she continued to say:
"In fact, I was supposed to be a master there. I was a prodigy as I came from very ancient lines of prodigies. My family was well known in this world."
"Was?" Ibro noticed this and exclaimed loudly without any thinking. When he realized his voice was loud he felt regret. She seemed to be lost more in thoughts before she said:
"Yes, my whole family got exterminated and I'm the last one of them."
"Didn't you just say that this academy is the only place that could shelter us now?"
She understood his hidden meaning, but she didn't comment. She had a lot of painful memories that were buried by her in the deepest darkest corner of her mind.
She wasn't ready yet to open this deep wound, even after passage of a whole ten years. Ibro noticed that obvious change in her but he respected her will.
