Qualifying for the semi-final is really a huge achievement for Veena. Even she did not expect to qualify for the semi-final like this.
It is also true that during the last moment, she felt that her power was increasing, but she thought all of this was due to the guidance of her teacher.
Lara also qualified for the semi-final. From the other group, two other students also qualified for the semi-final.
You have to say that Veena was quite lucky as she did not meet any student who had reached the limit of the intermediate Mortal Grade.
Despite that, the previous fight wasn't easy for her. She also has the chance to lose the fight. A good thing is that Sam decided to increase her level at the critical moment.
He just did not increase her power that much. With this, she did not receive any kind of massive boost, and nobody suspected anything.
