(POV: Lumiere)
Our time in the bustling cafeteria came to an end.
I slowly rose from my seat, taking a moment to stretch my tired limbs.
Ruri, always attentive, noticed my exhaustion and gently inquired, "Are you feeling tired, Professor?"
I admitted the truth, responding with a nod.
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired today. Teaching can be really draining, you know."
Anastasia, with her no-nonsense demeanor, promptly chimed in.
"A teacher mustn't succumb to laziness, dear 'professor'. You should really maintain your composure and perseverance."
This idiot... She put a lot of sarcastic weight on that "Professor".
I scoffed playfully, countering her statement.
"Honestly, I'm not lazy. Just merely tired from the long hours of preparation and late-night teaching drills I've been conducting to find the most effective way to engage Elise."
Stellaria sighed having finally eaten at least half of her food.
