The soldiers were shocked to find out that a woman actually won the number one spot. No one expected that to happen, especially since the woman looked so petite and beautiful.
Fighting was kind of off limit to women because it needed strength and power, people didn't expect that from a woman. But this beautiful woman named Roselia broke that norm, and she didn't win alone. Along with here, there were twenty other women that brought home a spot of victory.
The impact of their victory inspired many women that maybe they could do more than what they currently did. They had always stayed far away from battle, protected by men, and some of them felt guilty about it.
The male soldiers, however, did not like the development at all. Not because they underestimated women, but in their culture, it was supposed to be men who protect women. But they didn't complain or do anything about it. They didn't expect a lot of woman to join the soldiers in the first place.
