The observers exchanged puzzled glances. They were confused. The second observer leaned forward.
"Why hasn't she summoned her beast yet? Is she planning to fight the Flame Bear entirely on her own?"
The first observer shook his head. "If she's holding back, it could cost her the fight. The Flame Bear won't wait for her to show her full strength."
The vice headmaster, however, smirked and raised his hand to quiet them. "Let's not rush to conclusions yet. Watch closely. Liora is no ordinary fighter."
The Flame Bear let out a roar and charged toward Liora with its flaming body and flaming claws.
Liora looked at the beast and without hesitation, she dashed forward. Liora was using her hands and met the bear head-on.
Liora managed to hold it for a moment before being overpowered by the bear, who pushed her back. Fortunately, Liora didn't get injured by it.
