Chapter 46 -: 46, Wannabe Princess
"Well, as Dreamer Dainsleif has presented, this Artifact would also be given to the one who achieves the first rank in tomorrow’s tournament. You all may leave now and prepare for tomorrow. Dismiss!" Emperor Ray announced and stood up to attend the next official activity.
The Blessed also walked back to their quarters, deciding to rest or plan their strategies for tomorrow’s tournament. The tournament was simply a one vs one spar among each other. So they all needed to rest and dissolve the weak long exhaustion from dungeon hunting.

They both shook their heads, signaling no objections. Hestia then again asked, "How is your progress going on? Any improvement noticeable?"
