After receiving a tongue lashing that made every member of the Hero Party's cheeks burn, Thirteen scoffed before asking Rianna to put on a Neuro-Link Helmet, so that the two of them could fight the Three-Horned Minotaur together.
Rianna, who was laughing at everyone earlier, suddenly became pale as if she had been chosen for execution.
"Um, Zion, I don't think…"
"Wear the Neuro-Linker, Rianna. Let's teach these noobs how it's done. We'll show them the power of love and friendship."
"…"
Thirteen shuddered after saying those cringy words, but he needed to convince Rianna to fight alongside him against the Minotaur.
The reason for this was simple.
Rianna still had a lot of room to grow, and the only reason why she wasn't able to utilize her talents was due to the fact that she had not faced a truly powerful opponent with her back against a wall.
Sometimes, a person could only grow stronger if the pressure was enough to crush them.
