Marionette tilted her head to the side—a glimmer of curiosity reflecting in her crystalline-like eyes.
"Hm? Is that really what you want?" she asked, not entirely against Lillian's exchange, "From what I've seen, you've been doing rather well."
Lillian raised an eye, doubtful at Marionette's words for her comment on her display in combat. She knew her swordsmanship was crude. Her footwork was unrefined and clumsy—possibly tripping her up at any moment. (2)
And yet Marionette says she is doing... rather well?
"Rather well? Although I have won my battle, they have all been through either luck or the Items I had at hand."
Lillian wasn't so delusional to think that the battles she had taken part in were won through her own skills.
The magic grenades in the exam, for example. Those were some of the many items that had given her the edge in the exams, allowing her to skyrocket up the rankings.
