Chapter 59. The Three Walls (4)
Of course, I couldn’t sleep, and the girl lying on the bed couldn’t either. I could sense her nervousness.
I don’t blame her.

They were all weak.
Every human I fought in the tournament was weak. None could take even a single proper strike.
Have I grown stronger?
Perhaps the two I had fought were particularly weak. I lost track of time as I drifted into thought.
Eventually, I heard faint, soft breathing.
It seemed the girl had finally fallen asleep after remaining tense for so long. From her appearance, I estimated her age to be around sixteen or seventeen. The gentle light of dawn fell on her face, revealing marks near her lips, signs she’d been struck.
It’s already this late?
Solid rays of sunlight pierced through the night. She must have stayed awake, tense, until dawn. For some reason, I felt sorry for her.
