Why does it seem to be a challenge for Ellena? Even though she had already gone through heavy training back in Lumbert's mansion, she was still facing a challenge from a White Gold Ranker? Despite the reasons, Ellena might have unconsciously underestimated her enemies.
Aaron had already told her that she should not underestimate her enemies. Even her instructor taught her that, there was still unconscious confidence raging in her blood that made her underestimate the 6th challenger.
Aaron, who was also watching, noticed that Ellena was getting challenged. Since it has already passed 5 minutes, Ellena must be having a hard time seeing through her opponent's defense.
Before the fight started, as the 6th challenger stepped into the ring, cheers erupted louder than before. Apparently, Ellena's facing the strongest ranker in Azmar.
