OK, now that you know the technique, go ahead and solve this problem.

Ah—I've got it! Finally!

See? Isn't it fun to learn?

Ashe

Absolutely! You're great at this, you know. You really seem to have all the answers.

I wish I could study and just soak up knowledge like you. How did you get so good at this?
link
Annette
volume_up

Well, studying was something of a necessity for me.

Ashe

What do you mean?

Annette

My father was one of the king's knights.

One day, he never returned home. He just left without ever saying a word to me or my mother.

Ashe
volume_up

I'm so sorry to hear that. Losing a father so suddenly... I completely understand.
link
Annette

After he left, I thought a lot about where he might have gone.
link
Annette
volume_up

My father was a devout believer, so I was certain he must have come here to Garreg Mach.

Ashe
volume_up

Here? Really?!
link
Annette

That's why I was determined to gain acceptance into the academy. I needed to come here so I could search for my father.
link
Annette
volume_up

The problem was that I needed money to get in. Lots of it. And I didn't have any at all.
link
Annette

So I entered the school of sorcery in Fhirdiad first, hoping I could somehow find a path here.
link
Annette
volume_up

I studied tirelessly until I finally earned myself a recommendation.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Oh, wow. So for you, studying has been like a way to meet your destiny.
link
Annette
volume_up

Destiny, huh? Well, yes, but it's a bit embarrassing when you put it like that.
link
Annette
volume_up

Now I have other reasons for wanting to keep trying hard. I want to protect all of my friends and allies here.
link
Annette
volume_up

I'm studying hard so I can be as useful as possible to everyone I hold dear.
link
Ashe
volume_up

You've worked so hard. I really respect that.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm going to follow your example!
