Loss

Of the next 5 battles that Alex let Pearl fight, only one person manages to give Pearl enough trouble that he has to take the loss. The person who did so was a girl, who Alex had a suspicion was in fact a player.

The movement skill she used was something even better than anything Alex had. Not that Alex would've had trouble catching her if he had to.

He gave the girl a pill of her choice and decided to let Pearl have a breather. He had been fighting for the past hour straight, so he needed that.

"I'll be the one that fights next, so come at me accordingly," he said to the group.

A few more people had come to him during the time Pearl fought and the group had increased again. Newer folks were more than happy to fight him, not knowing just how strong he was.

So they did.
