Griffin’s mind drifted toward planting a beast core in her someday, turning her into one of his own people.

That way, nothing would go to waste.

He could use her however he pleased, whenever he pleased.

A smile spread across Griffin’s face. “Well, if it isn’t Bianca! I’m Griffin. We’ve met before, remember?”

He flashed his trademark smile, the one that never seemed to crack no matter the situation.

Bianca said nothing at all. She had zero interest in exchanging a single word with him.

Steven had told her, under no uncircumstances, is she to never let this guy get within arm’s reach.

Griffin took two steps forward, and Bianca took two steps back without hesitation.

A flicker of awkwardness crossed his face.

“Bianca, you really don’t need to be scared of me. I just heard fighting nearby and came to check it out. Didn’t expect to find you here.”

Bianca’s response came out flat and cold. “You found what you were looking for. Goodbye.”

She turned on her heel and started walking away, refusing to give him even a second more of

her attention.

Griffin felt his stomach twist with embarrassment. All those hours he’d spent perfecting that smile, and it hadn’t worked on her at all.

He wasn’t getting anywhere with this one.

Still, he wasn’t ready to give up just yet.

His mind raced, searching for an angle.

“Wait, Bianca! Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something. A partnership, of sorts.”

Bianca’s footsteps slowed to a stop.

Griffin pressed on quickly. “Have you noticed there aren’t many level 4 beasts left out here? At this rate, our scores are going to fall short, and cracking the top twenty is looking rough.

“What if we teamed up to hunt level 4 beasts together? I could help you take one down first, then you help me with the next one.”

Something about that offer actually tempted her, if only for a second.

She really hadn’t crossed paths with a single level 4 beast this whole time.

But Bianca remembered Steven’s warning, clear as day. Stay away from this guy.

Besides, she didn’t need to worry about any of this. Steven would notice exactly what was happening to her, wherever she was.

If she needed a partner, it sure wasn’t going to be Griffin.

Just as Bianca opened her mouth to answer, something made her freeze.

She turned her head sharply toward one direction.

A familiar presence had brushed against her senses.

A heartbeat later, Steven emerged from the tree line.

Bianca’s eyes lit up instantly.

She called out, joy breaking across her face. “Steven!”

Steven crossed the distance to her side and gently ruffled her hair.

The two of them exchanged a single glance, and that was all it took. They understood each other perfectly.

Watching that little moment, Griffin couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy, if he was being honest with himself.

At least Fellaria would be his eventually.

That thought softened the sting a little.

Steven turned his head toward Griffin.

“Well, look who it is. Griffin. So you’re the one trying to rope my girl into a partnership.”

Griffin forced a smile. “Didn’t expect to see you show up, Steven.

“Can’t help it, though. I still haven’t found a single level 4 beast this whole match, and time’s running out.

“Then I spotted Bianca and figured teaming up might be worth a shot.”

Steven smiled easily. “Yeah, I’d be worried too if I were you. Lucky for me, I’ve already taken down a few. You should keep searching, Griffin, the clock’s ticking. As for Bianca, I’ve got her covered. Appreciate the offer, though.”

Griffin let out a helpless little laugh. “Of course. Now that you’re here, I’m clearly not needed. Time’s short, so I won’t keep you two. I should get back to hunting.”

Steven nodded pleasantly, playing along for the moment.

Griffin turned and walked off, a quiet sigh escaping him. Another missed opportunity, gone just like that.

The instant Griffin’s back faded into the distance, something dark and sharp stirred behind Steven’s calm expression. That man had just written himself a death sentence, whether he knew it or not.

Steven turned his attention back to Bianca.

Neither of them brought up Griffin again. Every eye in the stadium was locked on them in real time, after all.

Steven smiled and asked, “So, how many have you racked up so far?”

Bianca counted on her fingers, looking utterly adorable as she worked through the math. “Ten level 3s, twenty five level 2s, and forty level ls.”

Steven nodded along. “That puts you at twelve hundred and ninety points.

“That’s a solid score. You should have no trouble landing in the top twenty.”

Bianca shook her head. “I don’t think that’s enough, though. If someone else takes down even one or two level 4 beasts, I’ll fall way behind.”

Steven leaned in close, a mysterious little smile tugging at his lips, and whispered right into her ear. “There aren’t any level 4 beasts left. I already killed every single one.”

Bianca’s face lit up with delighted surprise, and she wrapped both arms around his. “Steven, you’re amazing!”

Steven gave the tip of her nose a gentle flick. “You’re pretty amazing yourself.

“Come on, I’ll help you hunt. Let’s stack that score up a little higher.”

Bianca flashed a bright grin, her small fangs peeking through. “Okay!”

Back in the stands, every young man watching the two of them show off their affection looked ready to strangle Steven out of sheer jealousy.

What had this guy possibly done to deserve a girlfriend like that?

And it looked like there might even be two of them.

ments later, the crowd watched Steven flex that borderline unfair ability of his again, eking down beasts with pinpoint precision.

led Bianca across the grounds at a relentless pace.

he instant they found a beast, Bianca moved in without hesitation and cut it down with uthless efficiency.

Her kills came just as fast as his.

That was the moment the crowd truly grasped just how terrifying Bianca’s own strength really

was.

Even a level 3 beast dropped in a single strike from her blade.

They were two monsters, cut from the exact same cloth, standing side by side.
