(Xuan Kai's Perspective)
When Mei Gui returned to the room, she immediately walked over to me and curtsied.
"Master, I have completed my mission."
"I saw. Good work," I replied, smiling. "Did you… learn anything?"
She nodded. "I was shown something new today, by my opponent. I used to look down on everyone else except Master as an inferior species, but now I have come to realize that even the weakest of lifeforms have the potential to do something great. I was impressed today by that elf, who was able to endure the pain and escape from my Prison of Lightning."
I nodded. "It seems this battle has not gone to waste."
"Yes… even though she lost to me in the end, I respect her resolve."
"Well then, regardless, you did great. It'll be a while until you have to fight again, so just take a seat and watch the next fight about to begin," I said, turning back to the screen.
