The third trial was a gigantic bear. Yet another opponent to leave me shaken. It felt like I was up against one of Yuna’s bears. I calmed my racing heart. Why were the trials like this? Had the gate read my mind and decided to make everything the shape of bears?

The bear attacked me. I dodged and looked for an opening. As I was in the middle of cutting through the bear, the faces of Yuna’s bears came into my mind. I even thought I heard them croon.

I shook my head, dismissing the bear that appeared in my mind. I needed to focus on the bear in front of me. This wasn’t one of Yuna’s bears. I’d barely been able to defeat the other bears. Now that one that was actually hostile had appeared, I couldn’t bring myself to hurt it.

I hardened my heart and attacked. I felt mentally exhausted, and my sword was dulling, but I somehow got through the third trial.

Then the fourth started. The ground started to rise. Please, please don’t make it another bear. My wish only half came true.

The fourth trial was a girl dressed as a bear. This was definitely modeled after Yuna. Why had Yuna appeared out of nowhere? Maybe this was a representation of my jealousy of Yuna’s strength? Yuna was powerful and could battle any kind of monster. She could even take down ones that I couldn’t. Maybe that was why Yuna had appeared.

I lowered my sword and told Kusehlo I was surrendering. He was silent for a while, then finally, simply said, “Got it.”

I thrust my sword into the magic circle. The trial was over.

I was exhausted. I never wanted to go through this again.

“Jade, was it? Do you know the girl dressed as a bear? Seemed like you were with her before the trial.”

As I was sheathing my sword, the guild master started talking to me.

“Yes, I know her.”

Based on what the guild master was saying, it seemed that he knew her.

“Is that why you quit?”

“There’s that, and even though it’s a fake, I might have been too afraid of facing her. She’s powerful. If I tried as hard as I could and still failed, I don’t know what I’d do with myself.”

“You’re in rank C, if I remember correctly? You really think she’s that powerful?” Kusehlo asked after hearing the guild master.

“She is. I haven’t seen her handle a weapon much, but I can tell she’s skilled. And she’s also a great mage. Most importantly, she’s resolute. A normal person would be afraid of going up against a large man or a monster, but she faces them like it’s just business as usual. She acts like a battle-forged warrior.”

Yuna was the kind of person who’d head out to fight a black viper on her own. She fought wyrms without batting an eye and she’d even defeated that giant scorpion. I would never have even considered engaging those enemies on my own. The only reason I could fight at all, as I was now, was because I had companions with me.
