After Veronica's triumph over Derecho, the Ghouls were greatly in shock… Izquierdo's defeat was already too sudden, but because it is sudden and quick, it did not hold such a strong emotional effect on them.
However, because Veronica faked most of the fight, even in the moments when she felt weakened and gave hope to the people for Derecho's victory when she won and by saying that she was just acting… it really broke through the Ghouls pride.
"T-This… This is… Derecho… lost?" asked a young Ghoul boy.
"What is with that Armor Woman?!" asked another young Ghoul with purple skin.
"Wasn't she struggling?!" roared a Ghoul with dark skin and a burly complexion.
"It was all an act!" said a red-skinned Ghoul woman.
"We were bamboozled…" muttered a little Ghoul girl with short crimson hair.
"She's way stronger than we ever imagined?!" wondered yet another Ghoul man, slowly having his pride broken apart.
