Sir Orlo had been relentlessly torturing Riona with a barrage of lessons and homework. She was forced to memorize endless lists of words and history timelines that she didn't care about.
To make matters worse, Sir Orlo established "language days," during which Riona was forbidden from speaking Eiran and had to use the designated language of the day.
The most frustrating aspect of all was that she was not allowed to train. Her entire body ached to channel her frustration and sharpen her skills to control her power. She feared that the longer she went without training, the rustier her abilities would become.
Resting her cheek on the desk, she groaned, "I want to train. Let me train."
The unyielding Sir Orlo adjusted his glasses and denied her request firmly, "No. His Majesty tasked me with providing you academic lessons, and that is exactly what I am doing."
