She continued speaking without so much as a twitch in her expression. "Not only did he lose, but he actually came in fourth, even after using the Spirit King. So, naturally, I became intrigued. Besides," she added casually, "he showed me the entirety of the Starborn Tournament through an illusion ability."
She delivered the explanation without emotion, not bothering to conceal anything, as though transparency was simply her default state.
