Combat Exam (10)

Whoosh...

The more we walked the stronger the blizzard got. If previously I could see a few feet before me, now the visibility was reduced to mere inches.

The only thing that kept me going was 'Mana Perception' which allowed me to feel the world around me.

Crunch... Crunch...

There was also another pair of footsteps beside me.

Katarina.

Although I couldn't fully see her face, I could make out her emerald eyes gleaming with determination.

I couldn't sense even a hint of fear in her demeanor, which left me quite baffled.

Wasn't she the one that doubted if we could defeat a D Rank monster?

Observing her with the side of my eye, I couldn't help but shake my head, trying to recall everything about her.

In the game, she wasn't a playable character but rather one of the main supporting characters who had average strength but couldn't compete with the powerhouses in the protagonists' party.
