Moreover, the challenge was about Gabriel winning. He could win without even killing them. At least, that's what he thought.
Cylix saw Gabriel's hesitation, momentarily getting stunned.
"Ha...hahaha… Hahahahaha!"
He covered his face with his hands as he burst into a laughter, but it wasn't a mocking laughter. It was something else... Something much more emotional.
In Gabriel's eyes, he could see the respect that he had never expected. Even though they didn't show Gabriel their intentions to teach him, always hiding behind excuses as to why they were training him, the young kid still treated them like teachers.
After a long time, Cylix stopped laughing and flashed a weak smile filled with gratitude.
