"Hey, Corey? You alright?" I called out in concern. A moment ago she had been cursing someone under her breath, and the next her face turned grim. I kept a patient eye on her, guessing it had something to do with memories from her past life.
Corey finally opened her eyes and looked at her boss. With a challenging glint, she said, "Wyatt, let's fight. I bet I can defeat you in one move!"
"Looks like you're doing alright. I'll take my leave now. I have other matters that need my attention," I replied, turning to leave the card lab and ignoring her challenge.
I didn't blame Corey for overestimating herself. After every major breakthrough, it was natural to feel like you were the strongest person in the whole damn world. I had felt it myself before, and there was no rush quite like it.
