"She's not gaining consciousness. There's also no Arcana in sight."
Maro sighed as he stared at Asa and the frozen Vaizer. His eyes contained hints of worry, and guilt riddled his mind.
'Was I being too ambitious? It's my fault for choosing such a risky tactic…'
Sure, they had won, but at what cost?
"Tch, let's head back. I'm sure Jared can do a better job at fixing her up." Asa glared.
He still hadn't forgiven Maro for giving Aloe Vida such a dangerous mission, but he also wasn't in any position to complain.
They had won, and it wasn't as though Aloe was dead. Besides, without Maro's guidance, they would have probably lost.
'As frustrating as it is… we owe this victory to him.' The boy thought to himself.
It wasn't like he planned on saying such a thing to Maro's face, though.
"Besides, we got our hands on an enemy and his Arcana, right? That had to count for something."
Maro's eyes brightened once he heard Asa's words. They were rather optimistic, as expected of a kid.
