"Woah." Ulric muttered, his eyes widening slightly as he stared at the two figures stepping onto the arena.
They've grown even more beautiful, he mused. His gaze lingered on Amber. Her once brown eyes had taken on a deeper shade, and her chestnut hair had lengthened considerably, stretching all the way to her waist as it framed her beautiful face. Draped in a simple white robe, a faint smile curved across her lips, giving off a calm, serene aura.
Aelira at the side was quite the opposite. Her eyes were narrowed as she stared at the figure before her, clenching the massive hammer on her shoulders tighter than ever. Her eyes swept over Amber again and again.
Sure, she had heard of her feats and her explosive rise, marking her as almost a peak E-rank being.
Still, she hadn't been slacking herself. Having reached the top of mid D-rank, it wouldn't be long before she achieved the peak of D-rank. She wondered what was the source of Amber's confidence.
