"Why am I still... so weak?" Aria muttered as she relentlessly practiced her sword moves on a worn-out dummy, trying to dash faster and handle her abilities more efficiently.

She had been haunted by the last match before the 'test tournament' and her failure to defeat the mysterious man who had appeared out of nowhere.

He had humiliated and defeated them all effortlessly, declaring his name to be 'Dynamizer.'

For a fleeting moment, she had suspected him of being her brother's killer.

However, she quickly dismissed the thought, noting the different hair color, the seemingly high-quality cloak, his distinct way of speaking, and his height, which contradicted the medium height the guards had described.
