For a moment, Pete and Denis were too stunned to react.
By the time they recovered, Adelyn had already disappeared through the exit.
Denis pointed toward the doorway and growled,
"How dare she?"
Pete's expression darkened as well.
"She looked down on our Senior." His brows knitted tightly. "Who does she think she is? Every move she used was nothing more than foundational swordsmanship. She only won because of sheer luck, yet she acts as though she's unmatched."
To them, Steve wasn't merely a senior from the same academy. He was also someone who had personally guided them for years.
The respect they held for him was no different from the respect they showed their own master.
So hearing Adelyn speak so casually about him ...
To them, it was nothing short of an insult.
Naturally, they were furious.
Yet in their anger, they overlooked the most crucial point.
Adelyn had indeed relied solely on foundational techniques to take down Tressa earlier.
