Lemira locked eyes with Alaric. As a matter of fact, he too was eager to uncover the truth.

The girl who could pull off a twelve-hit combo was no longer the little sister who used to trail behind him. She had grown, even surpassing him in skill.

Alaric's face twisted uncomfortably. Of course, he wanted Lemira back on the team!

Alaric's expression froze, "What do you mean?"
