Gairma had full control. The system read that Mana was dead.
"Shit..." Elize whispered to herself as she read it.
She had only wanted to see what exactly causes her to lose to Gairma; she just didn't think it would be nearly an instantaneous switch. Mana was more controlled by her sister than she had originally thought.
Elize wanted to study her so she could teach Mana how to try and control it. She couldn't let the young woman know of course, she had a feeling her subject would have said no. She felt deceptive, but it was for the best.
The guildmaster wasn't aware of what was going on to its full extent, but she also didn't want to end the simulation just yet, so she decided to head into the forest herself.
She knew exactly where they were; Mana had been holding Gairma in for a moment, but she needed to see what made the parasite overpower the host. Elize had decided that she was going to up the ante 100%.
