Is the coffee you're holding tasty?

Alice had just finished her fourth consecutive battle, visibly wearied by the intense exertion. 

Although she could be considered a human cheat code, she wasn't able to dispatch her enemies with the effortless ease of William or grow increasingly fierce in battle like Zoey.

The divine beings from other dimensions she was fighting against originally planned to wear her down one by one, believing that, given Alice's demonstrated strength, she would eventually lose. 

This prediction proved accurate as, without specific instructions from William on how many battles to fight, Alice kept accepting challenges until she was nearly exhausted.

When William took control of Alice's body, her opponent, armed with a huge blade, swung it down fiercely. While Alice could have managed to block it, she wouldn't have found it easy. 

Now understanding William's intentions, she no longer hid inside the alchemy furnace but faced her opponent squarely and honorably.
