Jade, acknowledging the advice, nodded, her spirits slightly dampened by the ordeal. "Would you have won?" she asked, a curious edge to her voice.
Ash, caught off guard by the question, hesitated. "Won? What do you—"
"Oh," Jade clarified, her thoughts still on the recent confrontation. "The guy who attacked us. Would I win in a fight against him if he didn't send me away?"
Without hesitation, Ash responded with a confidence that seemed to solidify the air between them. "Yeah, I'd win. And we will get our revenge for what he did. Not just to my pupils but also for your boyfriend."
"I imagine your boyfriend also feels the same way, though, to some degree," Ash remarked, her tone carrying a blend of empathy and understanding.
