Elen, sitting nearby, turned to her with curiosity. "By the way, sister Hana, what soul did you get during the draw earlier?" she asked, leaning slightly forward.
Hana grinned widely, her eyes sparkling. "An A-tier ice monster!" she replied excitedly. "What about you, Elen?"
Elen's expression changed instantly. Her enthusiasm faded, replaced by hesitation. She bit her lip as if searching for a way to avoid the question. Finally, she answered softly, "I... got a giant octopus monster. S-tier."
The room fell silent. All eyes turned toward Elen. Budi's mouth hung open slightly, while Arya forgot to blink.
"S-tier?!" Arya finally exclaimed, his tone a mix of admiration and disbelief. "Are you sure, Miss Elen?"
Elen gave a small nod, unable to say more.
"Damn it... I only got A-tier," Budi muttered, throwing himself back into his chair with a look of despair.
