…After that, Neries continued her training.
She studied the basics, accumulated it, and learned it.
She really did continue with the very basic, but she definitely got some power out of it.
With power came confidence, and with confidence came mental stability.
Slowly but surely, she continued to advance, and had a bright expression that would never be on the face of the girl that shut herself in her room.
Her biggest fortune was likely that she was blessed with friends like Velda and Peewee.
Or perhaps her gentle character that made it easy for people to care about her.
In any case, Neries was once in danger of having to leave school, but grew enough to avoid that.
She made a promise to her roommate and new friend Mizari, which also became a strong support for her heart.
Then came the day of the written exam… She received somewhat excessive support from her friends, and went to do the exam.
This exam decided if she would have to leave or not, but the questions were not difficult, she was intelligent, and she prepared, so this was not a reason to worry.
Her one point of concern, her mental state, was stabilized thanks to her friends, so the exam ended without any particular misstep… When she graded her exam in her room with Yuugo and the others, she easily got a passing grade.
Her friends were somewhat excessively happy, bringing an awkward smile to her face.
But she was very happy to have friends who would be happy for her.
She felt positive again, and faced the practical exam with different feelings.
There was something that triggered the trauma from that day in the exam, but… Neries thought she could do it.
She just had to show everything she had worked for until now, and what she attained with the help of her friends. The day came without Neries feeling too worked up.
“Good luck Neries. I’m rooting for you.”
“You just have to show your work. Show the results of your training!”
“Yes… Thank you, you two…!!”
It was the day of the practical exam… Peewee and Velda showed their support before the exam, and Neries responded with a firm smile.
It was because they never stopped caring about her that she could face this day like this… she thanked the friends that never abandoned her, and opened her mouth.
“Will we be a party again once I pass?”
“Of course! We’ll start over! Together!!”
“So pass! We believe in you!”
“Yes!”
Peewee already had tears in her eyes, and Velda was calmer than usual.
As Neries thought that the roles were reversing, she smiled and nodded thinking she saw a new side of them.
There were probably more sides of her friends she did not see.
Neries had been with them for a long time, but there was plenty she did not show them either.
They would continue working together, deepen their bond, and become closer… And for that, she would pass the exam.
And as Neries got mentally prepared once again, the door opened and Yuugo showed himself.
“Neries, are you ready?”
“Yes! I’m okay!”
Neries responded loudly, and took a deep breath.
With her feelings in order, she exhaled and calmed herself.
She just had to let it all out. Do what she had to do with all her power.
She told herself this, raised her head to look at Peewee and Velda, and spoke.
“Here I go!!”
