Xio showed no reaction. After staring at her for a while, Alice could not help reminding her:
"Miss Judgment, this Disciplinary Paladin Beyonder Characteristic can also be separated into a Judge Beyonder Characteristic. If you need it, I should be able to find the formula from it as well..."

No one spoke. After all, there was no Witch among the Tarot Club members present. Even Cattleya the Hermit, who had to support an entire ship, had
