The Flame of Ambition
"My two girls..."
He thought silently.
"They've both fallen for me..."
"And I..."
"...have already fallen for them as well."
His heart warmed.
He truly felt blessed.
In his previous life, he had never imagined someone like him could one day meet people who sincerely cared about him.
Now...
There were three.
Anna.
Maya.
Selena and Rias.
His feelings for each of them were genuine.
Yet he had deliberately kept those feelings buried.
Not because he was uncertain.
But because the time wasn't right.
Selena and Rias were still his students.
They still had countless mountains left to climb.
They deserved time to grow stronger...
To see more of the world...
To decide with complete certainty whether what they felt was admiration for their Teacher or something deeper.
As for Maya...
She had already unknowingly occupied a special place within his heart.
One day...
When everything settled...
He would give all of them a proper answer.
Until then...
