Chapter 281: The Next Challenge
Even though she'd gotten the rest she had really needed and she had her stamina full, Kim still felt rather tired. She wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a side effect from using that pond to teleport here. Which was all the more reason to not even entertain using that pond for that again. At least in Kim's opinion.
When everyone else woke up, in the morning, they seemed to have recovered enough to remember what had been announced the night before in regards to not only the announcement of the fire dragon having been defeated, but also that it would be an entire day before they announced what the next challenge would be.
For Kim, it felt more like an exercise in patience than anything else. Not so much in just waiting around patiently, but rather patience in dealing with others who were just getting on her nerves in general. Although, she could tell that they weren't doing that deliberately.
Kim speculated that it might be from how tired she felt, that things the others were doing, even if it was making weird noises when as some napped, or talked to themselves as others practiced with their weapons.
Kim also couldn't help but wonder if they'd been told everything about the fight with the fire dragon, since from the sounds of it, Patricia and Patrick hadn't done much overall in the fights, but the announcer had indicated that it was slain in part because of their roles in the matter. She couldn't say if it was merely a matter of perspective or if there was something else to it.
She could only assume there was more that wasn't being said.
Although, if it was a matter of being respectful towards Elwin and/or Leon, she didn't mind. She didn't care that much anyway, but it did make her wonder about what might have exactly gone on. Even if it was something that happened that Elwin hadn't noticed during the last confrontation.
She would have been surprised if Elwin had noticed everything going on around him as they fought the fire dragon, since battles at the best were rather chaotic. Then adding in a creature that was likely taller than you, kind of made it difficult to see what was going on, on the other side of it.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Kim got up and decided to try some training herself. She figured that it would at least be something to pass the time, if nothing else.
