Lemira didn't take Alaric's jibe to heart. Whatever she did, her brothers never seemed impressed.

Her best to improve her grades, her best to get into Orvin University and get away from them.

Caspian scoffed, "Lemira was never cut out for academics. She didn't do too well in her freshman and sophomore years in senior high school either. Crashing at the last minute just looks like she's making efforts. She's still going to rank behind Eve in the end anyway!" Evelina chimed in with a smile, "Caspian, don't be so harsh.
