Jason vs Bert Chu

Day 6. A green valley surrounded by a distant mountain range. Around 5 PM.

A small patch of land in this region had been destabilized by the rankers' fight. There were many residual mana signatures in the surroundings. The spread of new mana signatures just kept on going.

Meaning the fight between two groups of rankers was still ongoing.

"Aaaaargh!"

Veronica cried in pain when she sustained a fatal sword wound below her ribs. She looked more emotionally hurt than physically hurt. A tinge of sadness could be seen in her eyes.

Veronica was the same ranker who was with Ivor and Jason, forming a team with them. She had traveled from the city of Osan to the city of Lionhearts with the group. After Ivor was branded the Butcher of Osan Woods, she stuck with Jason and began attending Royal Ren from her second academic year on.

Veronica was devastated because the one who had attacked her was none other than Jason– the person whom she had come to trust the most in recent years.
