Almina's win caused thunderous applause from all the audience. That fight has not been easy for her. This was everyone's notion based on what they saw. Although she eventually won, traces of a fight can be seen that can be described as a close fight. She also has less than half the points of life left inside her health bar.
Thanks to her unparalleled focus that can be noticed on her when she was in the fight. This was one of the things that Yman admires about Almina. Almina's concentration is high when she's in combat and she rarely makes beginner's mistake movents which almost all of them inevitably do.
That's why most of the trainees admire her the most. There is no doubt that Almina's experience is high compared to everyone else. It was what most of the people around her thought of her. However, only Almina knew about it.
Although she was expressing a happy and satisfied expression on her face, deep inside she seed not so satisfied with her result.
When Almina returned to the waiting area, "M-Miss Ice?!" Almina exclaid in surprise.
"Hehe, good job for the win! That was a very challenging fight," Ice winked and sent a thumbs up. But Almina slightly frowned.
Ice, who noticed it, imdiately threw herself to Almina. "Geez! Why do you look so unsatisfied even though it's your win!" Ice ca to embrace her to cheer her which caused Almina to turn into a body pillow with a nonchalant face.
"Besides, you have all the right to celebrate for this win and reflect whatever shortcomings you think you have in that fight. Then, improve later!" As expected of the Ace, she could give radical advice like it was normal to her.
Kiko was having a gawking face on the side, seeing his crush being embraced by another beauty. In his eyes, Almina was exuding all the charm he was looking for in a person of the opposite gender. That's why he could not give up on her even though she rejected him already.
Hah~
Almina sighed. The thing she was so downed about was that she felt the match wasn't so satisfying. She had no idea how the others felt about it, but Almina herself felt so lacking in her performance. She was way below compared to her brother in his ti.
Regardless, Ice was right.
"Cheer up! Cheer up!" Ice continued while rubbing her face between Almina's bosoms!
"Eh?!"
"....."
Almina turned like a statue. She knew Ice was just trying to improve her mood but isn't it too much?! Especially in the presence of other people!
She believed so.
Regardless, she looked around her and failed to find the people her eyes wished to see. She saw Kiko giving his sweetest smile at her and said, "That was a good performance, Almina Amulet. I know you can win it," he said while showing off his white teeth.
"Mhm," Almina just slightly nodded her head and smiled slightly. She said, "Thanks."
She noticed Kiko wasn't so down even though she rejected his confession a while ago. Well, that's good because she didn't want to be bothered by it.
Almina frowned when she couldn't find Yman and Maena inside the waiting area. She was so looking forward to what they would be going to say about her match.
Perhaps Maena was still resting and Yman, where is he? Hmph! Almina pouted inwardly. Perhaps he didn't watch her match. At that mont, with Ice still clinging onto her, they heard so footsteps coming closer and closer.
Almina glanced in haste. She saw Yman approaching them. In his hands, she noticed canned bottles of drinks. Perhaps he went out to buy them at the nearest vending machine.
"It wasn't so much but it might be a good replenisher to recover from fatigue," he said as he tossed a bottle towards Almina. She easily brushed away the clinging academy's ace and caught the canned drink.
"What an incredible power of love!" Ice exclaid under her breath. Though it seed Almina and the rest did not hear her.
With a bright, happy face, she said, "Thanks!"
"Heh~ so my younger sister can smile like that just in the presence of a person," Ice sounded like she wanted to retort.
"Eh? W-what are you saying Big Sister Ice?!" Almina stamred embarrassingly and with a slight reddening face.
"?"
Yman approached Ice and handed her the other can bottle. "Thanks, Yman. So you are this thoughtful. No wonder Almina beca even more infatuated with you. Hmm," He just smiled and nodded slightly at her.
"..."
Yman didn't know what Miss Ice was saying.
Tsk!
Kiko clicked his tongue upon seeing Yman scoring a point by giving a drink to the girls. Though, it wasn't Yman's attention, actually.
'Enjoy your remaining seconds in the city, bastard,' Kiko thought with narrowed, pissed eyes. No one knew what he was thinking at the mont. Well, since no one was paying attention to him.
Yman said, "Actually I went to check on her and saw a vending machine on my way back. I decided to grab so—"
"You didn't have to explain, you know," Ice said as she moved closer to him.
"Eh! R-really?" Yman blinked his eyes in wonder. He wasn't actually explaining to them because he was guilty of sothing. He just wanted to tell them out of his own volition.
