A Different Encounter [1]

"Now, what?" Ellisa muttered as, without her knowledge, Pearl opened her eyes in a sluggish manner. 

Ureff pointed to Pearl as he noticed that her presence was also starting to be noticed. And Ellisa also shifted her head at her, and just when Pearl finally opened her eyes, she was clueless.

Her calm state had returned, but in exchange, she had become clueless about what was happening around her. It was as if her mind had been totally in an unstable state where it could not be easily understood.

Pearl darted a confused look at them, and then looked at her body.

"Why... am I injured?" she asked as she saw how badly damaged her robe was. 

"It is because you fought with some sort of sect named Southern Edge. You were in a ferocious state, acted like a beast, and injured yourself in a state that could not be ignored." Ellisa explained.
