Rachel sat with her hands resting on her knees. The others sat across from her and listened quietly.
"The Revalis Clan has always been about strength, so every year, the clan holds this competition. It's not just for fun, as it will be the one that decides everything."
Clara frowned. "So it's basically... survival of the strongest."
Rachel nodded. "Exactly. Win, and you will get more support. Lose, and you might not even get enough to continue training."
She then simply shrugged. "Some people rose fast this way, but some top people also get forgotten just as quickly."
Rynor leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Heh, sounds like the clan's version of natural selection."
Rynar snorted. "More like natural bullying."
That earned a small chuckle from Dahlia, though it faded when Rachel continued.
"But this competition is mostly for the younger generation, like Rynar and Rynor," she said, nodding toward the twins.
