They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 125: Dancing Chapter 125: Dancing Every time she thought she had gotten it right, Lady Rose would click her tongue.

“Again.” Nnenna gritted her teeth and kept going.

At first, her mistakes were obvious.

She stepped too hard.

She moved too stiffly.

Her spins were shaky, her footwork uneven.

But gradually… something changed.

Her movements grew smoother.

Her body started to remember the rhythm on its own.

She no longer had to think about every step, her feet just moved.

Even when she nearly stumbled, she recovered without completely losing balance.

Even when Lady Rose threw in unexpected turns or slightly altered the rhythm, she managed to keep up.

She was improving.

But Lady Rose’s face remained unreadable.

“Again.” The sky darkened more and more.

The late night breeze cooled her overheated skin.

Yet, Lady Rose still wasn’t satisfied.

Nnenna was better, so much better, but not good enough.

Not yet.

Her body screamed for rest, but she refused to stop.

Because Lady Rose hadn’t stopped.

Because this mattered.

Because she wanted to be ready.

By the time Lady Rose finally raised a hand to halt her, Nnenna was gasping for breath, completely exhausted.

She looked at her teacher, hoping for a word of approval.

Lady Rose studied her for a long moment before finally speaking.

“You’re improving.” Nnenna’s chest swelled with pride, until Lady Rose’s next words crushed it.

“But it’s still not good enough.” Nnenna groaned loudly, bending forward with her hands on her knees.

“Are you ever satisfied?” Lady Rose “…” Lady Rose’s lips twitched, almost like she was holding back a smirk.

“You’ll know when I am.” Nnenna groaned again.

Nnenna wiped sweat from her forehead, her body already aching from hours of training.

But Lady Rose wasn’t done with her yet.
