Xia Yinian swallowed, her gaze involuntarily darting to the captain.
That look seemed to be asking: Dear Captain, when did I ever offend you?
The captain looked at her, his gaze no different from usual; or rather, with anyone, he only ever had this one kind of look.
Xia Yinian knew very well this was true, and the captain definitely had no intention of joking.
When she turned back, the tall man was already standing beside her.
The man carried the scent of herbs on him, masking his original smell.
Meeting his eyes as she looked up, Xia Yinian no longer had the mind to worry about whether he was injured.
A man being tall didn't necessarily mean he was strong, but his strength was already written all over his face.
So, in the upcoming fighting, she had to focus on defense; it'd be best if she didn't give him the chance to pin her down.
Once she made up her mind, Xia Yinian's mood quickly adjusted in a very short time.
"Ready…" the captain's voice rang out, "Begin."
