@AzereiahMina smiled, properly, this time. Her weak spot was self-deprecating humor. Maybe because it saved her the trouble.

"Ryuuto didn't 'rope me into' Anything. He suggested the idea and I agreed for my own reasons; namely the Power Training mid-term and the Tournament. Last year I failed the mid-term and lost in round one of the Tournament. This year, I want to know who I'm fighting against, what they can do, and how they fight. I want to know their weak point. I want to know their personalities. What buttons to push, so that if I face any of them, I'll step on them as I journey towards my goal this year; to get a clean sweep of top marks," she states, coldly.
