As soon as I finished changing into my combat suit and stepped onto trackfield, the scenery immediately dragged my mind back to that capture-the-point exercise from before.
Back then, we literally had to gang up on Tasora.
Even with our heavy hitters like Khent and Waffel riding her ass, we couldn't even dent her defenses. Not to mention Finster going full-on protagonist mode just to protect her in the finale.
"Speaking of her, where is she anyway? She usually sits right beside you," Nagi asked, falling into step next to me.
"Whoa! You surprised me. What, are you a mind reader now, too?"
"How rude! Call it intuition," she huffed, crossing her arms.
"Anyway, whenever you think about Tasora, your face gets this scary look. Like you're being forced to chew on something incredibly bitter but told not to make a scene."
"Huh... I highly doubt that. I pride myself on my acting and gaslighting skills."
