After learning the full story of how Lisanna and Elfman had defeated Mira, Noah was completely speechless.
He had never expected Lisanna to be so good at exploiting loopholes.
Although Mira had recently stopped being active in the magical world as a mage and had begun living a rather peaceful life, even if her skills had grown rusty because of it, the foundation of an S-Class Mage was still there. It would not simply disappear.
With Lisanna and Elfman's strength, even if they joined forces, let alone defeat Mira, it would have been difficult for them to land a meaningful blow on her.
The problem was that Lisanna had used Noah to shake Mira's resolve.
Given Noah's place in Mira's heart, along with the provocation from Lisanna, who was also Noah's fiancée, what truly brought Mira down was probably not only the measures Noah had secretly prepared for Lisanna, but also the devastating effect of that line: Noah really does love me a little more, doesn't he?
After all, they were both Noah's fiancées. Noah had prepared so much to keep Lisanna from danger, while Mira had not only received nothing, but had not even known about it. Faced with such unequal treatment, it was already impressive that Mira had not burst into tears. Being shaken was unavoidable.
Her skills had grown rusty from not fighting for so long.
She had been overly wary of Lisanna's numerous unknown methods and had overlooked Elfman's role.
Her shaken heart.
