We still had an hour until the start of the next round. We sat in the stands chatting while Lion thought about what to do...
"Why didn't you really want to participate, Leira?" I asked him, curious. He seemed like someone who was ready to jump into combat at any moment...
"The truth is, because this is a farce…" she said bluntly…
"Do the fights seem like a farce to you?" Ronin intervened.
"Well, of course it is... with these conditions, it is not about seeing who is the most powerful player. Without magic and conditions here, it is only testing if he is a player like the others or if he is a few greedy idiots. They can loot you..." Leira was a person of firm convictions; she did not lower the tone of her voice even a little...
"Then why participate if I'm not going to be able to show my full potential? The only one who has anything at stake is our friend; the rest is just an excuse..." she continued arguing.
