Hearing that Cynthia and Elesa had actually fought over a man made Skyla even more curious.
"A man? What kind of man could possibly matter so much to such a prominent Champion!?"
Elesa thought about Xia You's appearance and summed it up. "He's just someone who's really handsome and has a lot of presence."
