We humans are, by nature, creatures with masks, no matter what. There are a lot of times when a person's feelings are a lot different from how they appear on the outside.
This was exactly the same for Maya.
'What do I do?'
Just now, Maya did something she had never thought she would do before. She touched Astron on his arm, and feeling his body flinching, she realized what she had done.
'This is not a girl, he is a boy.'
It was not the first time, Maya helped others to improve their mana control, but it was the first time it was a boy.
'Don't falter! You are simply trying to teach him!'
She realized that it would be rude to get embarrassed right now.
She was simply trying to teach him, and that's it!
"Astron, feel the mana's flow. Let it become an extension of your intent."
