Chapter 111: Spar

"I wanted to gain some tower points so that I could also help the faction a bit. Moreover, I realised from the just-ended Discidii Mission that I am still not strong enough to contend against the best of Apprentices like you, Faction Leader." Claire said with a solemn expression on her face.

August stared at her calmly as he thought, 'She is noble as expected but she still lacks confidence in herself. But this may is not necessarily a bad thing. It also means that she acknowledges the need to improve and become stronger."

Claire was stunned. "Are you sure this is a good idea, Faction Leader? I think I would just be in your way."
