    ︵‿₊ ⊹₊˚‧ ℧ ‧ ˚₊⊹ ₊‿︵ Watching Lucero ace her regulations test was an eye-opener. Those trophies she kept at home and the reluctance of the director of María Auxiliadora had not been for show. The girl had enough talent and artistic skill to make any decent trainer fight for her. Still, there...

    The rest of the week passed without major incidents. She poured all her blood, sweat, and tears into the treadmill and stationary bikes, jogged on the track, studied harder than she ever had in class, and survived the demands of being a professional athlete. That little moniker still made her...

    Lucero would be lying if she said that she was not feeling a bit beat up after enduring those mock races in VR. She did not consider herself a vulnerable or fragile girl, but that was making her reconsider a lot about herself. The idea that she had the potential for superpowers lifted her...

    Monday began in earnest. She woke up at 5 a.m., ran through her now-usual gym routine, took a shower, and had her first breakfast. By the time the sun peeked over the mountains at six, she was already heading to her morning classes. Her new schedule was a bit lopsided. She still had regular...

    The weekend soon arrived, and Lucero was feeling a bit more nervous than usual. She had been separated from her friends for a week at that point, the longest in several years, and now she was ready to present them to her new friends. Yes, friends. Bonding over tears and Carrot Ranger usually...

    After changing into her clean old uniform, Marco accompanied her to the gym. He marked her sets, set the pace, and explained how to use the machines. Using a gym felt novel and a bit strange. She had never needed to use the one in her old academy; only racers and a few Umas who were more...

    Dawnflower returned to their room after about six PM, changed in front of Lucero without any decorum and went to sleep. Lucero's cheeks were red during the whole thing, but she didn't make any comments. After catching up with her manga, she went out to have dinner and then back to sleep. The...

    Saying goodbye was hard, especially when you did not know when you would be coming back. Lucero's training would allow her rest days and moments of relaxation, but she needed to catch up with her studies and work on her speed.
