Is it only the natural attraction between bear children?
"Strange friendship." Angel murmured softly and then paid no more attention.
The process of the competition was not worth mentioning. Qi Li overwhelmed Loki with an absolute advantage, leaving nothing behind.
The only exciting part was probably the scene where Loki's white sand rhino was scorched black by flames, and Loki was hugging the rhino's neck and sobbing loudly.
Accompanied by Qi Li mercilessly hanging Loki upside down in midair, Angel found the scene quite pitiful, but as Loki's mentor, Lien was watching with great interest, clicking his tongue and saying, "Such a beautiful scene, it must be captured and appreciated over and over again."
Well, that's some very real mentor-apprentice affection. Angel thought to himself.
The competition ended with Loki's sobs. Qi Li turned around and left without a care, while Loki, looking sad, lay on the battered white sand rhino and walked towards Hermes.
