After finalizing their plan, and setting a time for departure on the morrow, the group all left one by one, going to prepare for the next day. Phoenix, Astaroth, and Violette were the last ones in the room.
"Wait. Before you leave. I have a request for you," Phoenix said, looking at Violette.
Violette looked at the woman, tilting her little head.
"I would like to test your capabilities with a spar. I have fought alongside all of the people present earlier, so I know what to expect. But you are a mystery to me."
"Would you mind coming to the arena with me, Violette?" Phoenix asked, trying to keep an amicable smile.
Astaroth knew better than to look at her facade, but he let Violette decide for herself.
"Umm… I don't mind," Violette answered, becoming nervous again.
All she could think of was, 'What if I'm not good enough? Will she not let me come to the dungeon?'.
