After dismissal, Lianye appeared before Krista and greeted her. While he was at it, he mocked Ymir a little, making the latter's expression grow even uglier.
Ignoring Ymir's bitter face, Lianye said directly to Krista, "Eleventh place is a bit of a pain in the ass, but with Krista's ability, this is already pretty good."
"Hey, hey, hey, did you really come here to comfort her, or to mock everyone?"
Ymir was utterly speechless, yet Krista did not mind at all. Instead, she gave a charming smile. "What Lianye said is true. He didn't mean any harm."
After enduring Lianye's sharp tongue for three years and witnessing the 'cruelty of society,' Krista had not only avoided turning bitter, but had also developed considerable resistance to his biting remarks. She seemed to understand him quite well.
Still, that was hardly surprising. During the accident that occurred on the expedition two years ago, Krista had lowered her guard around Lianye more than anyone else. Among all the soldiers of the 104th class, she alone had witnessed Lianye's special abilities: the Invisible Predator, as well as the fact that he remained completely unharmed even after being shot.
Krista had her own thoughts about this. She neither spread the matter around nor feared Lianye. On the contrary, his presence gave her the greatest sense of security.
All that remained was for Krista to one day calmly tell Lianye some truths about herself. It was just that she did not yet have enough courage.
"Krista, this guy must have a huge heart. You don't need to speak up for him."
"No, Lianye was only telling the truth. So was I."
Even when telling the truth, you need to phrase it a little more tactfully. He's deliberately being mean to you.
Krista's innocent behavior, like that
