Author: Only For You
Andrew found himself taking the jab out of nowhere and could only laugh awkwardly.

Aspen looked up from the couch and gasped, "Oh my goodness! It's almost 11 p.m., and Ms. Garcia's still in the kitchen?"

Lauren jumped up in alarm. "Wait… you're right! We totally forgot. Let's check on her!"

Francesca, wearing her cartoon slippers, was already rushing toward the kitchen. "Ms. Garcia, please don't tell me you passed out from exhaustion!"

Just then, Chantelle finally emerged, her cheeks flushed a soft red. She was clearly embarrassed as she said, "S-Sorry about that, everyone. I just finished cleaning up, I'll be taking my leave now."

Lauren looked apologetic. "Ms. Garcia, I'm so sorry. We got so caught up in the show that we forgot about you!"

Aspen said, "Ms. Garcia, we'll walk you to the door!"

Chantelle waved her hand. "No need, I can manage by myself. It's already late, so you all should get some rest!"

She took two steps forward but suddenly grabbed onto the door f

    Andrew stood frozen, his temples throbbing. "What does this have to do with me? How did I suddenly become the bad guy here?" He spread his hands helplessly, completely speechless. "Belle, come here!" he called. However, Isabelle ignored him, her chubby cheeks puffed up in anger as she sulked. Andrew walked over and looked at her. "What's this? My words don't work on you anymore?" Isabelle finally uncrossed her arms and snapped, "It's not that, it's that I can't believe it! You actually took Luna as your student, and now you're spending all this time alone with her!" Andrew gave a tired laugh. "And? Even if I did take her as my student, how does that affect you?" Isabelle clenched her jaw. "Andrew, don't forget, you touched my chest once! And I'm not that young, I just look small. So technically, you should take responsibility for me!" Andrew's expression darkened instantly. "Responsibility? Don't start with that nonsense." Isabelle's smile turned sly and mischievous

    Luna froze for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't think that's necessary. Why would you always need to be prepared to kill someone? We practice martial arts, but most of the time it's better to stay relaxed." Andrew only smiled and said nothing. For most people, training was about balance and peace of mind. But for him, things were different. Tonight, or perhaps very soon, he would need to take action. He would need to kill Jaden, one of Guillermo's loyal dogs. There was no room for relaxation in his world. With Brielle away, Andrew planned to make the most of his time at Sovereign's Apothecary. The ninth-grade supreme elixir he wanted to craft required materials so rare and expensive that collecting them himself would take years. Luckily, this was the country's largest alchemy institute, and its storerooms were overflowing with precious ingredients. Before noon, a cheerful voice rang out from the entrance. "Andrew, I'm here!" Isabelle bounded into the courtyard carryi

    Sheena gasped. "You silly boy, treating me like this only makes me feel even more ashamed as your senior. Who told you to be so good to me? Who gave you permission?" Murmuring under her breath, she fell quiet, her eyes distant and dazed. … The next morning, Andrew arrived at Sovereign's Apothecary to find Luna already seated in the courtyard, diligently studying medical texts. Her dedication to learning was truly remarkable. She had arrived early and was already immersed in her studies. When she spotted Andrew, she immediately looked up and greeted him warmly. "Good morning!" "Morning!" Andrew replied, removing his coat as he walked past her. Luna set down her book and asked eagerly, "What elixir are we making today?" Andrew waved his hand dismissively. "No rush." He rolled up his sleeves and began practicing a martial technique. His movements were stiff and mechanical, resembling a robot executing slow, rigid motions. Luna watched with growing curiosity at first, wo

    Luna's tone was flat and dismissive. "I offered him a ride, that's all. But he'd rather go to a bar and have fun. Clearly, he doesn't want to spend time with someone as boring as me." Leslie had the good sense not to push further. She started the engine and drove out into the night, keenly aware that Luna's mood had taken a noticeable dip. … The Nightfall Bar was a modest establishment, tucked away in an old alley. It had few customers but made up for it with privacy. Its weathered stone walls and high fences gave it a charming, upscale feel despite its humble appearance. Andrew walked past wearing a long coat and a hat pulled low over his face. He paused at the bar's entrance to peer inside, then crossed the street and sat down at a small food stall opposite the bar. He ordered some food and settled in to eat slowly and deliberately. Manuel Powell, the stall owner, was a weathered man in his 50s with ruddy cheeks from years of outdoor work. He smiled warmly. "Welcome back, s

    Andrew looked a little embarrassed, knowing Luna had a point. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Yeah, it's true, I might've gone a bit overboard. You already know Chantelle; she's working under Governor McCormick. I'll introduce you to Rowan properly someday." Luna's expression turned cold. "There's no need for that. Rowan Maddock is the leader of the Onyx Serpents. I already know who she is." Andrew raised a brow, confused. "What's wrong? Why the sudden attitude? Do you have complaints about me being your mentor or something?" Luna took a deep breath, wanting to say it was not exactly a complaint. She was just bewildered. Eventually, she just shook her head and decided to keep her feelings hidden. "No, I'm not upset. It's just that I think what you're doing isn't right. I mean, all these women around you are incredible, no question about it. But you really shouldn't spend so much time getting lost in their attention. Especially since you're someone with heavy responsibilities."

    After that, Andrew stopped talking and focused entirely on his work. Luna spent the time observing while simultaneously searching for the herbs he needed and handing them to him, keeping her moving constantly despite the sweat dripping down her face. Despite the exhaustion, she was learning at an incredible pace. Under Andrew's demanding methods, she found that complex herb knowledge suddenly clicked into place. Within just half a day of watching, she had already grasped how to regulate the flames and control the heat. Andrew even had her practice hands-on to get a real feel for the process. … Caden said, "Mikayla, it's just as you predicted. General Phelan really did go to Andrew and became his student." Mikayla clenched her jaw. "Those two bastards." She still could not accept that Andrew had rejected her, yet he took Luna in so easily. Caden sighed helplessly. "Mikayla, don't be mad. Andrew's a ninth-grade supreme alchemist. Sovereign's Apothecary only has one lik
