Sorien and the Solmira delegation soon left the God Gym grounds, their figures disappearing beyond the outer buildings.
Not long after, Rachel approached Garion together with Dahlia and the others.
Rachel looked curious. "What were you two talking about?"
Garion smiled and stretched his arms slightly. "Nothing complicated."
Everyone leaned in a little.
"We're officially a Grand Faction now," Garion said.
For a brief second, no one reacted.
Then...
"…What?"
"…Grand?"
Valtor stared. Clara blinked twice. Arden froze completely.
Dahlia, on the other hand, just smiled.
Garion turned his head toward her. "And Dahlia… you already knew, right?"
Dahlia nodded calmly. "Yeah. I figured."
Garion raised an eyebrow. "So… you're planning revenge?"
Dahlia laughed, waving her hand dismissively.
"Revenge?" she said. "Please."
She crossed her arms, her expression relaxed but sharp.
