The reporters, not expecting Lemira would give them this kind of answer, was caught off guard, thinking how she behaved without considering their feelings.

Evelina jumped in, "Lemmy, how could you say that? The game hasn't even started yet. Our team has been giving it our all. You can't just dismiss us because you think you've got a natural talent for this."

Alaric's face was a mask of barely concealed fury, stunned by Lemira's blunt dismissal. But Lemira just curled her lips up coldly, "I was just kidding. Don't take it so seriously."

Evelina pressed on, "Lemmy, walking away from the game is one thing, but raining on our parade is another."
