Lemira firmly replied, "I'm not planning on joining the team. I wanna focus on my studies and prepare for exams." Alaric mocked her, "But you were the one beggingto teach you how to play games, chasing afterto train together at night, and even said you wanted to be an official member. Why didn't you say you preferred to study then?" Lemira felt a pang of hurt. She had pursued gaming with Alaric to build a better relationship with him, to have more in common! But now, it seemed unnecessary.
Lemira answered, "I realized gaming was distractingfrom my studies. My grades dropped significantly last semester, so I decided to quit." Alaric was left speechless, "Fine, just don't regret it! When the competition starts, everyone will only see Evelina as a member of the Langston family." If Lemira was going to be ungrateful, then fine, he didn't care. "That's fine by me." Lemira didn't want to argue any further and walked away from the dining room.
Back in her room, she adjusted her mood and started doing her homework attentively, revisiting concepts she had forgotten.

Lemira and Evelina left one after the other to the school gates, where their chauffeur was waiting.
Evelina stood by the car and said, "Oh, I have to head to the training camp today, so the chauffeur will dropoff first. Looks like we can't share a ride." The chauffeur spoke up with a stern face, "Ms. Langston, I received a call from Mr. Alaric Langston, instructingto drop Ms. Sterling off first. We can't delay." Lemira nonchalantly replied, "I'll take a cab." As Evelina got into the car, a hint of excitement showed on her face, "Lemmy, I'll talk to Ari for you." Lemira turned and walked away, leaving Evelina with a view of her retreating figure. Evelina bit her lip as she watched, thinking, "Lemira, just you wait. One day, I'll take everything from you! You owethat!" Standing bored on the sidewalk, Lemira suddenly didn't feel like returning to the Langston mansion. Maybe she should look for a study hall near the school.
"Hey, school's out. Why aren't you heading hinstead of loitering around here?" Lemira turned to see a handsman, stunned for a moment, and after meeting that pair of eyes, recognized him.
It was the school doctor with a sharp tongue. He usually wore a mask and a white coat, but now changed to another attire, which almost threw her off. Orion stood before her, "I asked you a question." "I don't feel like going back right now. I was looking for a place to study." "Follow me." Lemira looked at his back; hesitant at first, she followed him anyway.
They ended up at the school's infirmary, and she questioned standing at the door, "Why are we here? I'm not sick." Orion tapped the desk, "It's quieter and safer here than any study hall."
