I had fought a Gold ranked monster before—The scorpion from the practical session that had evolved during the fight.
That monster, despite being a newly evolved one, had managed to corner me quite easily.
I could have defeated it, given that the monster was already injured, but doing so would have required me to go all out, using my regenerative abilities and everything else to their best extent possible.
But just as I was about to test my strength for real— Elsa had intervened and killed the monster on her own without a hint of trouble.
That fight had somewhat shattered my confidence, but after the practical ended, I had thought on the matter in detail.
The only outcome for a Gold Core to be able to dominate me was that the monster was a genius among its kind.
And it had already reached Gold 2 or maybe Gold 3 during evolving, as it was a desperate attempt on the monster's part.
That said—Victoria too was at Gold 2, still she wasn't able to dominate me like the scorpion did.
