Bab 80: Second Floor [1]

Azriel watched in silence, standing with Jasmine and the instructors as they observed Celestina on the platform. She stood tall, gazing down at the mana core lying at her feet.

The same couldn't be said for the cadets.

The cadets erupted into cheers, celebrating Celestina's victory over the floor boss.

Even Lumine, Vergil, Yelena, and the three other cadets who helped were visibly elated.

It was an incredible feat Celestina had pulled off.

The cadets rushed to her side.

"You're not going to join them?"

Jasmine asked, her voice soft.

Azriel smiled at her question.

"Me? The one who contributed nothing on this floor, and when the leader personally asked for my help, I sent someone else in my place? Do I dare celebrate with them now?"

"If you put it that way…"

"My reputation as the delinquent prince would skyrocket."

A chuckle escaped his lips as he watched Celestina, overwhelmed by the crowd.
