Imagine if the genders were opposite. Probably unimaginable for a woman to be that defendless with a man.
That is the real dark joke. Some fear only women know, and yet everybody thinks it's normal.
Yes, I bet the first thing everyone thought about after finish the 4th panel is, this gonna get worse.

Beryl had fought Lucy as an equal. Unless rule are biased to oneside (like single hit of any as in this case, where ember-filled gust would overwhelm him), I think Beryl would have a solid win, especially when the vp never see his fights before.
But, I'm very interesting in the teaching...
I thought I'd be too late for any discussion after waited for page loading and forgot, but seeing the first comment complaint about the same thing is really giving me courage.
Anyway, these two really breaks their character when they are alone, huh? Suddenly, Grey misinterpreted all of her...
Exactly why I put maybe in my previous post. It's because of this and only this possibility.
