บท 31: Anger

Selma Payne's POV:

I couldn't believe it. Aldrich agreed so quickly and with such certainty.

Just as I was feeling happy, he suddenly changed the topic. "But unfortunately, it's time to rest now. I don't want to delay everyone's rest time because of one person. That's it."

Huh? What did he mean by that?

With everyone's envious gazes, I dragged the exhausted Mara back to the bathroom. They were all dirty, with sweat and mud all over their bodies. I was the cleanest of them all. There were no glamorous battles in the world. Dust and dirt were our daily routine, except for today.

I leaned against the railing gloomily. I'd remembered what Aldrich did today. Not only did he not tell me in advance that he would be coming to our school, but he also did not let me participate in the sparring. I'd let him taste this feeling of being ignored this weekend!
