Victoria's statement was followed by a long silence of disbelief and... suspicion.
Even if it was his sister who was giving her opinion, Kevin couldn't simply believe that Kael, after somehow managing to evolve his rank mid-battle, would have been able to fight Noah... who, if what John and the rest had said was true, was at the Platinum rank.
It was simply too ridiculous for a sane person to believe, though Kevin also knew that his sister wasn't insane.
Even if he wanted to deny it... somewhere deep inside, he had already acknowledged the fact, but seeing someone like Kael consistently being at the top and performing impossible feats... it left a bitter taste in Kevin's mouth.
It wasn't out of jealousy but something deeper than that.
"It was during his fight with Kael that Noah had dropped unconscious at the end. His body seemed to be under stress due to having just evolved to a new core, and well... Kael's blade had drawn quite a lot of his blood."
