She did not expect not to receive the recommendation or her comeuppance so quickly.
Every molecule of her body felt humiliated, and everyone's stares were suddenly sharp blades piercing her fragile ego.
She hung her head, wanting nothing more than to hide.
And even if many of the martial artists present were afraid to laugh, most of them turned away, clasping their hands over their mouths to stop the awkwardness from spiraling out of control.
"Who has the recommendation?!" Nonetheless, Phoenix soon snapped, seizing the Martial Alliance branch manager by the collar and demanding angrily, "You said someone was given the recommendation, which was why my application was denied, no?!" "You see..." The manager frowned as he nodded, explaining in annoyance, "I understand that it upsets you that your application was denied.

"So what if I am?" Phoenix snorted. "Did you really think that Cloudnine Sect fears the Martial Alliance?!" Frank breathed a quiet sigh, seeing how tense things were between Phoenix and the manager.
