When I stepped through the portal and appeared in the room, the first thing that I did was head to the edge of the room.
Once I was there, I turned back to the blue phoenix and said, "Should I start running then? Will you count the laps that I did before or do I have to start all over again?"
The blue phoenix revealed what seemed to be a smile before shaking her head and saying, "Child, there's no need for that anymore."
I couldn't help revealing an ugly look when I heard this.
It seemed like the blue phoenix's personality had completely changed…
Did that mean that it was going back on its words?
If that was the case, then this really would have all been a waste of time for me, so I couldn't let that happen.
Taking a deep breath, I said, "No, it's fine, I can keep running. You don't need to worry about me, I can do this just fine."
