Evil Intent

Kent woke up with a refreshed vigour and strength. Though his body was practically wrecked, the situation he woke up in was encouraging, so he didn't scream in pain. 

Saintess Selene was cleaning his body with a wet towel. 

"Do you now understand what it takes to become a Saint or Saintess with the spear?" The first thing Selene said was to address what Kent was thinking about. 

She is a Saintess, just like her sister, Saintess Neomi, but she wouldn't even be able to win a duel against her. In fact, many Saints and Saintesses would lose to Neomi. 

She is a monster...just like how many now describe Kent.

"She is strong, no doubt. But I will be able to defeat her in under a year," Kent said, knowing a year on the outside is 24 years in the tower. He will become a monster by then. 

"You might want to handle your internal injuries first," Saintess Selene said as she finished cleaning him. Kent dressed and chose to go outside with his master.
