Chapter 44: The Final Contestants. (Part 2)

"Oh! Ava, Lyra! You're here." She waved at them happily.

She happily walked over to them while looking around in search of Julius, it seems that he had yet to arrive. 

"Another model… she's wearing a cloak to cover it but I can tell she's got a hot body."

"Spirally black hair and striking red eyes… I wish she'd look at me." 

"Twenty one badges… that's the most so far. No matter how much I want to approach her, I don't have the courage to get on her bad side…" 

This time, Ruby had become the subject of many gazes. While most were admirers, there were many who were jealous. They couldn't comprehend it, how someone petite could've collected that many chest tags. Just how powerful was her ability?

Regardless, Lyra ignored it all as she leapt at Ruby for an embrace.

"Ruby!"

A confused look spread across Ruby's face as the two hugged.

"What's this hug for?" 

"For passing with flying colors obviously." Said Lyra.
