Chapter 219

The bone dragons breath and Kaninas punch sent a storm of mana sweeping through the area, turning the swamp around them to ash from the sheer concussive force of the impact.

I won Sumire confirmed her victory, and the world around her turned white.

[All participants of Blin Academy and Munich Academy have been eliminated.]

[Shutting down the simulation.]

Sumires eyes widened. "H-huh?" It seemed that her other teammates had finished off their opponents as well.

Fwoosh!

As soon as she exited the portal, she was greeted with a screen declaring their victory.

"You two won!' Sumire checked the scoreboard with a dazed expression.

"Phew The matchup was good." SiWoo sighed in relief.

Since EunAh was eying her as if she were a spy of some sort, Adela naturally entered the waiting room. "Ah I came to congratulate you on your victory. It's only natural. I used to be a Gaon student as well, after all."

Even still, EunAh treated the other girl like a spy. "Hmph, now you've gone to Bianca Academy." She seemed to be scolding Adela, but there was a subtle emotion in her words.

YuSung, whod been observing her for a bit, noticed. 'I see EunAh is upset with Adela.'

Before he enrolled in Gaon, the two girls had been rivals. EunAh was a very competitive person, so she naturally gravitated toward Adela as her opponent until Adela suddenly left for Italys Bianca Academy. EunAh was bad at clearly expressing her feelings, but YuSung understood hershe secretly hoped Adela would return to Gaon.

As if their hearts were connected, Adela said, "That's right I left Gaon and went to Bianca." She turned her head toward YuSung and gave him a serious look. I wanted to compete against you, YuSung, with all my strength

Fights against strong opponents were very important to her. Whenever she entered a battle, her heart beat faster, the blood rushed through her body, and her mind analyzed things in a cool manner. Rather than it being about proving her skill, it was proof that she was alive.

"That thought hasn't changed. I plan to give my all in my fight against you, but" She looked at YuSung with a bit of a different expression than when she blindly pursued battles in the past.

Whether it was the memories shed faced in Louin Castle, her emotional exchanges with YuSung, or the time she spent with Velvet, she was clearly different from her previous numb and lonely self.

"When all this is over, I want to return to Gaon." Adela gave YuSung a soft smile and softly said, "When that time comes will you accept me into your party?" Shed subjugated the Ice Castle during the Hunter Associations tournament without a party because she never felt the need for one, but things had changed.

Her emotions were gradually returning, and her vitality was coming back as well. Since shed realized fullness, she understood what she was lacking. There was something that could quench her thirst within YuSungs party

"Yes, Adela YuSung said as if it were obvious. You can always come back to Gaon."

"Wh-what? Really? You want to join our party?' EunAh gave Adela a surprised look.

"A-Adela's joining our party?! Wow Our party will be the strongest!" Sumire exclaimed. Just as she said, Gaon would undoubtedly have the strongest party if Adela joined them after the competition.

SiWoo, who hadnt spent much time in the club room recently, seemed genuinely surprised by Adelas question. "Oh Why do you want to join suddenly?"

YuSung smiled as if the answer was obvious and started to say, Thats because

"It's because of Velvet," Adela interrupted without hesitation. Arden had been her only family member until then, so Velvet was precious to her. "Because I'm Velvet's mom." She truly intended to be Velvets mother.

"K-kyahang?!" Velvets eyes widened with emotion, and Adela gave her a tender look. M-mommy Adela!

"Velvet"

"Kyahhaang! Mommy Adela!"

"Velvet!"

It was a touching reunion between a mother and daughter that transcended species. Adela seemed to have a strong attachment to the little dragon. Maybe it was because shed cared for Velvets egg before the dragon hatched.

"Kyahhaang! I'm moved! Look at my special fire breath!"

"Amazing, Velvet Your fire is even stronger now."

EunAh seemed unsure about whether she was happy with Adela joining or not. "Well, since you're coming back I understand. Is it okay for her to join just for Velvet, though?"

YuSung didnt even bother answering her question. So it wasnt due to the incident at Louin Castle

Since she would be joining them regardless and was one of the strongest students, the reason didnt matter anymore.
