With the assessment officially ending, Joab and Keren also relaxed and their previously ruffian-like demeanor also disappeared.
They approached Eli with concern, for they were worried that she might be injured. But when they saw Baobao guarding her vigilantly, they hesitated after reaching the ten meter radius.
It was only Leon who managed to get past the forbidden distance.
He knelt at Eli who was looking exhausted, resting in Baobao's tummy.
A gentle smile appeared on his ever expressionless face as he lovingly patted Eli's head, "You did great. You surely made the Blades proud when you executed the shadow steps so excellently just now."
He didn't wait for Eli's reply. Instead, he nodded at Baobao and carefully lifted Eli with his strong arms away from the training ground.
