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

Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Facing Mockery Chapter 127: Facing Mockery By the time she ran the next 10 km, she finished in one hour.

She stopped, panting, her hands on her knees.

She did it.

Though it was still far from Lady Rose’s goal, she had cut down her time significantly in just a few hours.

This was how runners improved, by pushing past the initial pain barrier until their body adjusted.

By finding a rhythm in their breathing and pace that allowed them to run efficiently without wasting energy.

By strengthening their muscles through repeated effort, making each step smoother and more controlled.

By developing the mental toughness to keep going even when it felt impossible.

And she had done all of that today.

She grinned.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was progress.

As lunchtime approached, she decided to take a well earned break.

Lady Rose walked past the training grounds after finishing her class.

The moment she saw Nnenna running, a flicker of something crossed her eyes.

Amusement?

Respect?

It was gone too quickly to tell.

She didn’t stop, didn’t call out to her, didn’t offer any encouragement.

Instead, she simply shook her head and walked away, as if disappointed, just like the rest of the staff on their break.

It was hard to tell if the disappointment was real… or if she simply wanted others to think it was.

Meanwhile, Ebere and the princes were bored.

With nothing better to do, they decided it was time to remind Nnenna just how ridiculous she looked.

“Skipping lessons just to run in circles?” One of the princes scoffed.
