"Oh!"
Hailey, separated from the group and transported to an unknown location, looked around.
She found herself in a spacious open cave, with a large arena-like area spread out in front of her.
This was the place where Ned had recently fought Frostborn and won the first victory for the team.
Next to it was a small ice wall, on which was written:
--------------------
"Defeat the champion of the Ice Caves"
"Victory — 1 point for the team"
"Loss — 1 point for Ice Caves"
"Total of 5 duels"
"You're the second"
"The side that gets 3 points first wins"
--------------------
"Defeat the champion of the Ice Caves?"
With each new line that Hailey read on the icy wall, her smile grew wider and wider. To be honest, she didn't expect this opportunity at all.
If she had known, she would have been the first to agree to stay and fight the champion.
"Hmm...I'm the second one, so Ned, who was left before me, has already taken part in the battle?"
Hailey tilted her head.
