Inferior opponents

Elena Blake, the strongest cadet with the greatest potential as well as the leader of Red Wing Thunder Squadron, the best squad in Guardian Academy, from that moment onward without giving it a second thought, had already resigned herself to a life of solo play till her dying breath, facing off against the apocalypse alone so as to ensure the survival of her teammates.

Of course, at the end of the day, It was only natural for her to go down that route and it would have been that way if not for the presence of a certain figure in her life that helped to change her entire viewpoint on several things and made her realize that even with her strength, she couldn't do everything and it would be okay to not be so uptight and let the others handle stuff as well.

That it was okay to not be that lonely island that everyone can rely on. She could rely on her comrades as well.
