Chapter 136: Fooling Sophia

( After the swordsmanship class )

Sophia could not accept her loss with grace, as the ease with which Rocky defeated her and the subsequent gazes she received from the crowd made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

In life she had been brought up in an environment where she only received love from her family when she showed talent and success, and hence, Sophia inherently did not take defeats too well as it made her feel afraid that everyone around her would start seeing her like an inferior being and detest her.

In her mind, the entire basis of her friendship with Rocky was that one incident where he saved her from certain death. However, she genuinely believed that the two of them were in a group together, because Rocky respected her strength as a warrior.
