Inside the carriage, silence persisted for too long. After all, one of the six lost to Valerie in the trials, and one lost to Austin.
Well, in Valerie's case, it was expected. However, the humiliation Elara had to face after her defeat against a D-rank warrior was immense.
Although she got selected as an Elite thanks to her other matches, she hasn't forgotten what she faced back in the arena.
'Agh...just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt...' She massaged the spot which was beaten black and blue during their match.
She has yet to understand how someone tracked her teleportation. She was in self-doubt for a very long, thinking that maybe there was some kind of loop that might give away her presence, rendering her skill useless.
It was the biggest horror of her life, that threatened her until she faced her next match—and seamlessly overwhelmed her opponent. Not only that, she even went against an A-rank later and even won that.
Crazy!
