How to Win and Lose

"I choose Sariel," Jeremy said, startling Paul by pointing to the lady beside Lillith.

"You're not serious, are you?" Paul asked with a scoff as his heart leaped in joy.

"Why won't I be? She's my choice," Jeremy said with a shrug.

Lillith glanced at both of them not believing what she was hearing.

She was in the dark about Sariel strength herself but she couldn't see her beating Jeremy.

He was the strongest gifted in the world after all.

She still couldn't see Jeremy losing in a wits battle to Paul so she was curious to see the outcome.

She had faith that Jeremy would win no matter what so she wasn't particularly bothered.

She watched as Jeremy and Sariel got into the ring to fight, Paul watching intently besides her too.

To her chagrin, she saw that he had a childlike expression on his face; he was excited.

"Pfft, he still hasn't learned anything at all...," Lillith murmured to herself.
