Vera sat down in her seat in the first-year section of the arena, her posture relaxed as she settled back into the chair.
The noise from the arena still hadn't completely died down after her fight with Gareth.
Around her, the first-year students were still talking about what they had just witnessed, while the enormous crowd beyond their section remained focused on the stage. The atmosphere had changed now that the next match was about to begin.
"Lady Vera, you were flawless as always."
Nina leaned toward Vera, her sparkling eyes filled with excitement.
"You went whoosh… I couldn't even see where you were until you appeared sitting on that idiot Gareth's back."
Her hands moved as she spoke, almost as if she were trying to imitate Vera's movement herself.
"It's my first time in a long while seeing Gareth get beaten so badly that he couldn't do anything about it."
Zack spoke calmly while adjusting his glasses with his index finger.
