Five people had been here before Elias arrived. Four of them had already become victims of the test. Only one remained. It was a girl who belonged to the Creator Class.
Elias met her gaze, finding suspicion in her eyes.
"I never thought," the girl in white said, "that you, of all people, would be the one to survive."
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Who did you pair up with?"
"I don't know her name," Elias replied, carefully constructing a lie that was masked by his innocence. He chose to go for a physical description instead.
The girl's eyes narrowed. "Her? How did you manage to defeat that cunning vixen? Don't lie to me!"
"I didn't do anything," Elias said, maintaining his harmless facade. "I just told the truth. Every time. But she was so suspicious, she kept insisting I was lying. In the end, she defeated herself."
The girl's lips twitched.
"Hmm? Her own overthinking brought her down?" she mumbled, tapping a finger against her chin, seemingly lost in thought.
