"The next is Miss Kapitica of the Burrow Tribe."
He explained that Kapitica had caught four fish beasts, each with twelve affinities, making a total of forty-eight affinities.
The numbers alone sent a ripple through the crowd.
When the elder announced Kapitica's total affinities giving her ten points the same as Laithe, the crowd marvelled.
Especially those who had been disappointed earlier, now they were the first to clap.
"Wow!"
"So she knew!"
"Kapitica is so smart!"
Voices overlapped, excitement rippling like waves.
"It's like she knew those fish beastmen would give her good points!"
"Ten points! Ten whole points!"
"Five points higher than Fedora!" Some supporters grew louder, almost teasing.
"Who said Fedora was better?"
"Tell Fedora to come learn from Kapitica!"
"Yes! Those who said Kapitica should learn from Fedora, bring Fedora here to learn instead!"
