"You two, if you hadn't been lazy these past five years, how could you not have leveled nineteen by now? Did you learn from your mistakes now?" Zacchary's words brought nothing but further depression from the girls. Indeed, Freya and Arine were talented, but their progress was not as speedy as the boys. No one could blame them since Arine's teary eyes tricked Zachary and made the lad support Arine the most. He doted on the girl, making Arine have the least injury.
Seeing Zachary's treatment for Arine, Aaric imitated him by doting on Freya, resulting in both girls getting used to it, and they relied on the boys the most.
"Zac, Aaric, you can't blame them. I remembered when I told them to boost their soul power on the Sacred Lake; you guys stopped me."
Zachary and Aaric couldn't refute, but Arine countered Paskha. "You know the heat of the Sacred Lake. We are sweating like crazy and can't breathe. How could you have the heart to let us cultivate there?"
