Chapter 738: Neoma
Orion and Sophia had stopped to watch what was going on at the training grounds.
Orion's gaze tracked the movements.
"Laia is pulling her weight," Orion said quietly. "But it's not enough."
"Really?" Sophia asked.
Orion nodded. "Yes. Laia may be holding her own against Brynhild, but Brynhild is toying with her at this point and perhaps training her in a way too, but she's not fighting her fully."
"And Laia is giving it her all," Sophia remarked.
"And it's not enough."
"But the warriors are trying, right?" Sophia asked him. "They're giving it everything they have."
"Trying isn't enough," Orion replied. "Not for what's coming. And I really hope after this, they improve more."
He paused, his eyes tracking Joren's movements as the young warrior tried and failed to close the distance with Ellis.
"Joren is good. His main issue is that he needs to get close to fight. He's a bad match for Ellis, who can do both—close range and distance."
