In this training battle where Xiao Ran demonstrated the strength of an A-Class Pilot, Xiao Ran chose to take on Cruze, Basak, Luo, Graham, Zechs, Nalo, Saki, and El-Elf all by himself. It was a battle that was fundamentally unequal in numbers, and Cruze, Basak, and the others were all B-class Pilots. They could be considered a powerful force anywhere.
