Chapter 343 First Battle [1]

"Yes, yes, you heard the name right! I've heard whispers that she's the only female among all one hundred participants!"

The crowd murmured at that. Others cheered. And a small but vocal segment began chanting her name.

"That's right! Dela Myre! An adventurer, from what I hear! And the last female standing out of all who applied!"

The commentator lowered his voice theatrically.

"Now tell me, folks—what kind of strength does it take to reach this stage, alone, when so many others fell?"

The applause rose. Some clapped in admiration. Others simply appreciated the novelty of seeing a woman up there.

"Dela! Step forward and introduce yourself!"

Dela, still calm, nodded slightly. She stepped to the front, her voice clear and measured despite the noise.

"Dela Myre. A Gold Rank Adventurer. I'm here to win."

Simple. Direct. The crowd loved it.
