Sage was taken aback, his mind racing as he looked at the splintered wood and glanced between the little girl and the desk. He was utterly flabbergasted.
Staring at the tiny figure before him, he couldn't fathom how such a small girl could possess such immense strength. What had she been eating? Dragons?
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Sage still felt overwhelmed. Initially, he had attributed her strength to the massive shield she carried, but this level of power was beyond anything he had anticipated.
Noticing Sage's shocked expression, the girl snorted with pride, crossing her arms and giving him an arrogant look that only accentuated her chubby cheeks.
"What? Are you surprised? Can your fragile ego not handle it that a little girl like me has so much strength? Are you questioning your entire existence?" she taunted with even more bravado.
Sage slapped his forehead in disbelief. "What an arrogant little girl."
