Raor sighed in relief as he watched Mio choose not to engage with the duo. He knew their strength and had no intention of risking his hard-earned points.
The Ascenders' Point Battle System operated on strict rules: higher-ranked Ascenders could challenge lower-ranked ones, but there was a catch. If a higher-ranked Ascender, such as a Bronze Rank like Mio, lost to a lower-ranked Gray Rank like Leon and Roselia, they would lose all their accumulated points. Meanwhile, the victors would gain all the forfeited points.
For Raor, the risk far outweighed the reward. Even if Mio managed to win, it wouldn't add significantly to her points. But losing? That would be catastrophic.
"Especially against them," Raor muttered under his breath, recalling the rumors of their exploits. "On the first day, they defeated a Level 71 Derub. And after that, they took down a Captain of the Blue Titan faction. They're not ones to mess with lightly."
