Anna's POV “You look very beautiful, Anna,” A familiar face complimented me, raising his glass of champagne in my direction as he glanced with approval at my red silky dress. “Why, thank you, you look good yourself,” I responded in kind, putting a hand on my mouth in modesty. “I try,” He said, shrugging as he accepted the compliment. He was a coworker who had been giving me looks before Dorian had publicly claimed me as his. “Could I have this dance?” He asked further, emboldened by my accommodating manner. “Oh no, I've had quite a lot to eat. I'm tired as it is. Maybe when I'm feeling up to it,” I responded graciously. Taking the hint, he bowed then went off to another part of the room. I looked around and sighed at the happy people around. It was a company dinner party and things were going smoothly. Not for me though as my eyes were going to the door every five seconds in search of Dorian. Which boss came late to his own company dinner? He wasn't responding to calls but had

Anna's POV Instructor Elda called the group to gather once more as she began her address. She stood on the observation platform, her stern gaze sweeping over the recruits.“Well done, all of you,” she said. “You have all shown courage and skill today as expected of future Adventurers.”Neron leaned back against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he listened to her halfheartedly. He couldn't shake the thought that had been nagging at him since he exited the dungeon. “I could have done more,” he muttered under his breath, eyes narrowing as he replayed the scenes in his mind. He had chosen to rely solely on his swordsmanship, intentionally avoiding the use of magic.While he had done well enough in the exams, he knew that he might get flaked for it since he didn't use magic.While Martial arts was efficient in its own right, it didn't command the same respect as magic in the world.“...I am pleased to announce that two of you have earned a Three Star License.”Neron's ears

Anna's POV The ground beneath Neron trembled as the shockwave from his mana expansion rocked the place.The monster was completely vapourized, making the dungeon that was once noisy with growls and battle cries now silent. ~FWOOSHHHHHHH~Neron floated down gently, his feet touching the stone floor as he surveyed the scene. His Original Magic had worked—perhaps even more effectively than he had anticipated.But there was no time to relish the victory as his thoughts went to his comrades.He went over to Serah and Legris who were both unconscious from their earlier battle. He could still feel the mana coursing through his veins which made him feel invincible, but the sight of their battered bodies brought him back to the reality of the situation. They were both alive, but barely. He could see their chests heaving slightly as he studied it.Guilt gnawed at him. He really hadn’t meant for it to go this far. Even though they hadn't trusted him with their lives, he felt somewhat responsi

Anna's POV Lily shouted out as he got to his feet and fell down again.She rushed quickly to his side and held him while he coughed out blood.It was clear that she was distressed over his condition as she threw caution to the wind not caring that she was in the midst of a battle.“Are you okay? How's your breathing? How many fingers am I holding up,” She inquired as she looked him over.Neron didn't know which of the questions to reply to as he found her reaction to be over the top.Even though he was hurt, he wasn't at the point of death or anything to warrant the care she was showing.He appreciated her concern but he wanted to tell her to concentrate on fighting but he couldn't bring himself to form the words.As she busied herself with inspecting him, the scarf on her head came undone and her red hair flowed freely.Below her, Neron gasped in surprise as he saw her face clearly for the first time.She quickly grabbed the scarf back and put it on but the secret was already out.I
