'Path' to Spiritual Ascension! Part-4.

*And so! Lia Silver is the winner of this intense battle!*

A teleportation circle appeared and took Miki to the infirmary.

Lia glanced at the audience and raised her sword in the air to demonstrate her victory.

Amidst the loud cheers of the audience, Lia finally exited the stadium grounds via the same tunnel that she had entered.

As she wasn't really injured in the previous fight, she didn't need to go to the healer, so she decided to go back to her own room.

However, just as she entered the waiting area, a familiar voice greeted her from the side.

"Congratulations on winning; you have gotten stronger than before…"

Hearing those words, a smile appeared on Lia's face as she glanced to her left, and sure enough, Rio was standing there while leaning against the wall.

His face was still expressionless as ever, and his eyes were just as lifeless as always.
