"I see. Veronica, how are you doing?" I asked Veronica.

"I'm still fine. I didn't waste too much mana on the previous battle," she said.

"Good. Then Ray... you seem like you can go on. That's great," I said after I asked Ray for confirmation.

"Hey, what about me?" Victoria asked.

"You are only strong when Ray allowed you to. If Ray is fine, then you're fine. Though I don't think I have seen you not being fine at all," I said.
