Margaret was born in a prominent family in Olro. She would not have been sent here if not for her average aptitude. So allowing the kid to save face was a harmless decision. Upon thinking of this, Auldmandiller approved of Lin Sheng. He was talented, powerful, circumspect, and knew when to stop. Above all, he was humble and tactful in safeguarding collective harmony. He was a rare breed.
"Then, it's a draw," declared Auldmandiller.
Lin Sheng and Margaret stood back in position and bowed at each other, and then they only went back to their respective seats.
Margaret calmly sat down, but she was not as unruffled as she looked. She knew she had lost. She had exhausted half of her dark energy to pull off her last move, Comet Sword. But still, her opponent quelled her attack. "You have lived up to your reputation—the genius who has achieved 500 units of dark energy in the early stage." She ran her fingers through her messy hair and let out a smile.
