Chapter 148 Progress
"Did you think I got stronger because of Evelyn? We were friends in the academy, and since the academy days, I have been stronger. I was rank 1 all the way to class 3." Victoria replied with a smile on her face.
"Rank 1?" Roman asked, he had no idea what she meant by that.
"You don’t know about the academy rankings, After the first month of training, you’ll be required to duel with your fellow students and establish a ranking system, You’ll receive bonuses depending on the ranking and a headstart in the kingdom tournament"
"After the first month, so I have to win the Queen’s tournament to get there" Roman muttered.
"Yes, but back to your question, I was ranked 1 and I dueled with Evelyn severally, all of which I won, but then we got to the battlefield in front of actual demons and I found myself taking orders from Evelyn"
"But that wasn’t the turning point, it was when I almost lost my life because of a demon, It’s the reason my hair is covering part of my face"
"You got injured?" Roman asked.
"Injured is a small word. You can heal an injury, but this... After that I managed to survive, Reinforcement arrived and we were sent back home to rest before we returned to the Frontline"
"When I got home, I was so angry at myself. I trained to the extent that my body was shutting itself down. Once I trained so hard that I fainted and was taken to my sister, a healer," Victoria mused as she remembered the incident.
"For a month it was just me training. After that, I got so strong I couldn’t even recognize myself," Victoria said with a chuckle.
"I didn’t try actual combat after training till I got to the frontline and when I did, I was unstoppable, but someone was right behind me, Turns out I wasn’t the only one who was training to death, Evelyn was too, That’s how I got strong"
"What I’m basically saying is that you need that kind of conviction to actually break through, There’ll come a time you’ll get stuck, that’s when you’ll know if you have what it takes to be as powerful"
