Tournament Continues

As the crowd began to disperse, the echoes of Charlotte Hazerlink's triumphant victory still reverberated through the arena. Her name was on everyone's lips, a testament to her flawless execution and unyielding determination. Charlotte herself, however, had already shifted her focus. The battles ahead would only grow more challenging, and she needed to prepare. But first, she had an appointment to keep.

Charlotte returned to the competitors' wing, where she changed out of her battle attire into something more casual—an elegant yet simple blouse and trousers that allowed her to relax without sacrificing her air of confidence. Her silver rapier was secured at her side, a constant companion even in moments of respite. She exited the arena grounds and made her way to the hotel where her friends awaited her.
