"Hahaha… That was seriously hilarious! When you shouted, 'Don't come!' I nearly bit my own lip trying not to laugh!"
"Don't laugh!" I snapped, shooting her a glare.
"But it was funny!" Leona grinned, clearly enjoying herself. "I mean, the way you ran for your life—how could I not laugh?"
"What part of that was funny?! You should've helped me! Instead, you teamed up with that maniac!"
Leona just smirked, tilting her head playfully.
"What else was I supposed to do? I was getting bored just waiting for my turn. So, I thought I might as well join in and, you know… train you with Ryen."
"Train? That wasn't training. That was a beatdown."
She laughed again. "Tomato, tomahto."
I sighed and slumped onto the couch, defeated.
"I should have known better than to trust either of you."
"Oh, come on. You're still in one piece, aren't you?" Leona said, nudging me with her elbow. "Besides, you got stronger."
"Barely. And my pride took more damage than my body."
