Chapter 37 – Beautiful Soul
"WINNER: SOPHIE CASTRIA."
The crowd exploded—but the thunder of applause was for her, not just the win. She hadn't just survived. She dominated.
Noah was already waiting at the edge of the arena. He handed her a potion, grinning.
"You were a beast out there. That red lightning—seriously, where'd you pull that from?"
Sophie drank the potion in one go, exhaling sharply as her burns began to fade.
"With effort," she said, pride dancing in her voice. "And with talent, of course."
Noah raised an eyebrow. "Your talent's practically cheating. If you use it well, no one's gonna be able to stop you." He paused, flashing his signature smirk. "Well, no one except maybe me."
She rolled her eyes. "Delusional."
"Confident," he corrected.
