Andrew frowned slightly, knowing Nancy and Charlie were still packing. He stood up to open the door.

When the door swung open, he was stunned on the spot.

Before him was a sea of young girls, filling the doorway and spilling into a quarter of the corridor.

Although he didn't recognize all of them, having visited the training camp every afternoon, several faces were familiar.

"What... what are you doing here?"

Standing at the forefront was Lucy, her eyes swollen from crying. Even now, tears continued to fall. Upon seeing Andrew, she burst into tears, stuttering, "S-senior, we... we've come to see Nancy."

Andrew, aware of the unpleasantness Nancy had endured in the camp, had no intention of being pleasant to them.

His face darkened, and he looked at them coldly. "What, wasn't it enough bullying Nan in the camp? You’ve come here to bully her too?"

"No... not that..."

Lucy cried even more bitterly, fumbling with her clothes, at a loss for words.

Another girl, frustrated with Lucy's stammering, quickly took over, "Senior, we've come to apologize to Nancy. Please, call her for us."

Andrew scoffed, "Apologize? Ha... No need. Nan is packing up and about to leave Taurus. You all should go back."

He added, "And don't worry, Nan is really leaving the camp, not just saying it to appease you. Go back."

His words hit them like a knife, turning their faces red with shame.

Lucy, having come with the intention of doing whatever it took to gain Nancy's forgiveness, was undeterred by the cold reception.

She shook her head frantically, tears streaming, "We're not here to trouble her. We really came to apologize sincerely. Please, senior, let us see her."

Inside, those who had heard the commotion already knew who was at the door. Nancy put down what she was holding and walked gracefully over.

Seeing Nancy, the girls became excited.

"Nancy!"

"Nancy..."

Nancy patted Andrew's shoulder. He looked back at her, understanding she wanted to handle this herself, and stepped back to give her space.

Nancy took a few steps forward and stood at the doorway, turning slightly to see the dozens of girls with red eyes, some still crying. She let out an exasperated laugh.

"What is this? Trying to manipulate me with tears and tantrums? There's no need. I said I would leave the training camp, and I will..."

"Nancy..."

Lucy bit her lip hard, her earlier arrogance gone. In front of Nancy, she was like a defeated hen, devoid of any fight.

"We were wrong before. We misunderstood you. We shouldn't have treated you that way. We're sorry, please forgive us."

Nancy looked at her calmly. "Just a misunderstanding? Lucy, I might believe that it was a misunderstanding for others, but you... Heh..."
