Chương 45: Chapter 45: The Final Contestants. (Part 3)

After untangling himself from Lyra's arms, Julius turned to face the others. During the time that he was being embraced, both Ruby and Ava had approached them. 

"Ava, Ruby! You've both made it safely." 

He was glad that the whole squad had reunited. They could see that clearly. 

"You have us worried for a second." Said Ava as she helped the both of them up.

It seemed that Lyra wanted to stay on the ground with him for a little younger, but after noticing the attention they were gathering, she yielded. 

"That being said… something feels different about you, Julius. Did you get stronger?" Ruby asked as she stared right at him. 

Julius was impressed by her observation, once again Ruby proved the ability to see what others could not. 

"Yeah, haha." Julius responded with a nervous smile. "It's all thanks to your advice."
