Everyone on the field froze in shock at the sight before them. Yukie, still a student, had just defeated an instructor who used to be a renowned Hunter.
Gasps filled the air, followed by whispers of disbelief, and then scattered applause from students who could not hide their awe at the display of overwhelming skill.
Violet pushed herself up immediately, her expression a mix of irritation and respect. She brushed the dust off her uniform and walked toward Yukie, who remained standing calmly in the center of the arena.
"Good," Violet said, her voice firm despite the lingering frustration. "Truly impressive, Yukie. You deserve your title as the academy's top student. Your ability has far surpassed the level of a normal trainee."
The praise did nothing to change Yukie's blank expression. She simply nodded once, then turned around and walked away without a single word.
