When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira caught sight of Lucian and Alaric making their entrance, but her reaction was nothing out of the ordinary.

She calmly addressed Michel, "Let's schedule another time then."

Michel nodded and turned to face Alaric, "Come on, if I had a sister with talent like hers, I'd be treating her like gold, waiting on her hand and foot. And here you are, fussing over a newbie 'sister' while neglecting the real deal with actual talent. It's like missing the forest for the trees."

Alaric's face turned a shade of steel blue, "Shut up! You know nothing!"

He wasn't sidelining Lemira!

He wanted nothing more than for Lemira to stay with SkyBlaze and compete in the finals!

It's just a small tiff between him and his sister.

After Michel left, other eager coaches approached Lemira, handing out their business cards.

Alaric was left on the sidelines, silently watching Lemira being treated like a star.

He thought to himself: If Lemira ignores these people and doesn't join the Reapers.

He would swallow his pride and not hold it against her for playing him.
