For Lirienne, these duels were an opportunity.
An opportunity to see where she was standing in this institute filled with monsters and geniuses.
If it were she of the past, she would probably have rushed at the girl who always stood proud and tall while looking down on others.
She would attack the girl like a savage and would want to rip her pointy ears off, would want to erase that mighty expression on her face.
In fact, she still wanted to do it.
She wanted to destroy the girl before her; she wanted to show to this world that she was not someone to be looked down upon.
However, nowadays, she was feeling slightly different. She wanted to duel with that girl, but she couldn't, as she had witnessed her strength on the first day when another higher-ranking student from the empire challenged her.
'Everyone was looking at her with awe. And I just stood there and couldn't do anything.'
