Raziel's pained groan cut through the moment. He struggled upright, face twisted in irritation.
Violetta hurried over and helped him up.
Raziel Phoenix shot her a glare. "Was freezing and roasting me that fun?"
Violetta giggled, flashing an innocent, toothy smile.
Ray and Lily walked over.
Ray extended his hand. "Welcome to class zero."
Violetta clasped it firmly. "Thank you, Captain. But honestly… you're all terrifying. I could only wait for chances to help."
She wasn't exaggerating.
From the moment the fight began, she'd realized how vast the gap was. Compared to these three, she could only observe, endure, and strike when the moment was perfect.
Monsters… all of them.
A thousand-year soul ring on a first ring Soul Master?
That alone defied common sense.
Raziel Phoenix's speed and Lily's six-element control were just as shocking. Standing among them, Violetta felt painfully small.
But she had one strength.
She waited.
And when the opportunity came, she struck.
