Awkward silence.
As the three-way deadlock remained at a standstill, the atmosphere grew more tense with every passing second.
Guildmaster Noah, looking more like a child than an actual leader, kept fidgeting as he alternated glances between Rey and Trisha.
As for the two, they stared at each other without saying a word.
"Me? Strong? Please don't joke."
"I'm not joking. I enjoyed my fight with you." Rey raised his hand towards Trisha. "It was enjoyable."
Perhaps it was because he had the Martial Arts Supremacy Skill, but despite being able to see and easily react to Trisha's moves, he could still admire her skills.
No, maybe it was because he could see everything that he had a better appreciation for her prowess.
"You really impressed me."
"Whatever." Trisha scoffed, slowly walking away from Rey as she moved towards the entrance—which also served as the exit.
