Chapter 36: They underestimated him?
Jenna White stood tall as she felt the different stares of the people around her.
Outwardly, she didn't seem concerned, but inside, she was sighing continuously.
'I don't know if they'll let me take the test alone, but even if they do, I'm not sure I can finish it. Sigh, I should have joined one of those groups...'
'But these bastards too. They all had strange thoughts when they invited me. Their intentions were clear when they looked at me with those horrible eyes.'
Between sighs, she decided to go and set up a tent on her own, as she would probably have to wait a few more days until the test began.
As she did so, a slightly familiar face came into her field of vision. Her face moved quickly and systematically toward the face that was now very close to her.
"Hello, Miss Jenna," Elliot greeted her.
She looked him up and down, glanced at his sides, and smiled when she noticed he had come alone.
"It's you. I didn't expect to see you here." She greeted him respectfully. "I'm sorry for approaching you so suddenly earlier. I didn't even ask your name, and I already expected you to sell me your weapon." She apologized sincerely after that, which surprised Elliot.
"I think I'm the one who should apologize. I rejected you even though you put all your effort into bidding, and I didn't tell you why. That's why I approached you."
"No, no. You have your reasons for rejecting it, and I understand them. Finding strength is the best thing for anyone. I really admire you a little because you can clearly see the path you want to take even before you start. Money tends not to be ignored by anyone, but you did. Even if you're rich, that's admirable." She smiled calmly and behaved kindly.
