Sofia considered Anos's words for a moment, then asked, "Are you still planning to participate in the Beast Domain Trial at the Sky Martial Court's outer region?"
Anos nodded without hesitation. "Of course. Why wouldn't I?"
Sofia studied him, her expression softening slightly. "I see… Are you absolutely sure you're not hurt?"
Anos chuckled, his confidence unwavering. "Do I look stupid to you? If I were injured, would I be standing here right now? And if I were hurt, don't you think I'd use the opportunity to guilt you into compensating me?"
A genuine laugh escaped Sofia's lips, her earlier tension melting away. "That does sound like something you'd do." She smirked. "Alright, then. Go on. Focus on your training. As a martial artist, you can't afford to slack off."
"Of course, my dear Sofia," Anos teased, flashing a cheeky grin as he turned to leave. "Don't miss me too much."
