The Observation Period Ends

The discussion about Tang Rou continued to be omnipresent, but in the end there was no mysterious power that intervened and stopped all of it. Her father gave her true non-interfering support and freedom. Even when something like this happened, he didn't instantly stand up to protect her.

Tang Rou, facing all of this expected criticism, didn't defend herself. She didn't expect or hope for any understanding. She withdrew and just dove even further into Glory.

Compared to Tang Rou, Demeter's current situation didn't look too good,either. The criticism the team received was secondary; more important was Demeter's score on the points ranking after eight rounds.

There were 38 rounds in a season, eight rounds meant that over one-fifth had passed. Demeter currently had 31 points, ranked at 14th place.
