Growth

This was the first time Nicole saw them fighting together. She never expected that there would be someone as ridiculous as Anna.

Of course, she had been following Anna's news the whole time. Her growth only made her shake her head helplessly.

She thought no one would be able to stop her once she grew. There was even a rumor that she killed Noel Ardagan.

She wasn't completely aware of this situation, but it was clear that Noel was the only rival that could match Anna's progress, considering they both graduated at the same time and headed to the same squad.

With Noel out of the picture, she thought it would be impossible for anyone to come close to Anna. But it turned out this masked man managed to do it.

On the one hand, she wanted to think this man was Noel. On the other hand, there was no way they were the same person, considering they had different hair color, eye color, and elements. Hence, she wondered about the identity of this masked man.
