"We could get a rune on our body as long as we defeat her?"

"We don't need to defeat her. As long as we can just push her back, we will win."

The soldiers were whispering to each other. Anna's offer was actually beyond their imagination and had sparked a lot of interest.

Even Howard couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes," Anna confirmed without hesitation.

Although he hated Anna, his opinion changed during the conversation. Instead of thinking about how to harm her, he considered the fact that Anna might have to take care of these men. It would definitely look bad for her reputation.

"But…" Howard wanted to stop her, albeit Anna had made her decision. "It's fine. I've consulted with Noel as well. Besides, they have to win against me first."

Howard was still worried since it wouldn't be only her reputation that would be damaged. Noel's reputation as the one who married her would be questioned. But the fact that she had received Noel's permission meant that their master had agreed to it.

One of the Spirit Masters raised from the ground and volunteered, "Captain. Please allow me to fight her."

Howard's face looked troubled, but after seeing Anna's determined face, he could only agree. "Alright."

"Oh?!"

"Grandel is the one going to fight first!"

"Grandel is a Spirit Master, the strongest among us."

"This is a perfect opportunity to measure our opponent's strength."

The people became excited as Grandel reached the arena and stood two meters away from Anna. He politely bowed to her and said, "Please forgive my aggression."

"If you can hit me, that is." Anna nodded with a smile.

Howard sighed before announcing, "You can use your ability, but not the big one and destroy this area. No killing blow is allowed, and I will have the authority to stop the fight at any time. If you don't have any objections, the match can start now!"

Both Anna and Grandel nodded their heads as if signaling to each other that they had no objection. Grandel took out his spear while Anna pulled out her sword.

There was a silence filling the battlefield for a few seconds before Grandel rushed forth.
