-Frey Starlight's POV-
– Day 24 of the Island Trial –
I decided to move on my own again.
I informed the princess of my decision, and this time, she couldn't stop me—not after what happened last night.
Messing with that kind of power any further could bring a disaster down on our heads…
"Are you sure about this? Jessica hasn't returned yet..."
Gathering all the second-year students wasn't an easy task.
"It's fine. The third-years won't catch me that easily. At the very least, I'll hold out until Jessica Thivenin shows up."
Sansa gave me a slow nod. She looked more exhausted than she had on any previous day.
"Don't push yourself any more than this, Sansa... You'd be better off withdrawing now."
There was no point in her staying on the island any longer—she wouldn't be participating in the finals anyway.
"It's fine... I'll stay until the end, just in case something happens."
She had nerves of steel, I'll give her that.
"Thank you, Sansa. You really saved me this time."
