章 406: Gathering of the Seven Churches [3]

"You fell for his provocation?" 

"No, not exactl—Ukh." 

I winced as I held an ice pack to my head. 

It hurt. 

"Hm." 

We were currently in the infirmary. Unlike last time, I didn't sustain any serious injuries but I still had to be checked just for precaution. 

And my head did hurt quite a bit. I had overexerted myself more than I had originally intended. 

"So you really did fall for it..." 

Leon stood next to me with an all-knowing look. 

I thought about rebutting him when I stopped. 

Could it be said that I fell for it? Hmm... maybe I did when I thought about it. Nonetheless, it did help me push myself further. 

There was a real chance I wouldn't have had such a high score had I not been provoked. 

"Ukh...!" 

I groaned yet again. 

My head hurt yet again. 

'I was so close.'
