Mia stood at the window, gazing deep into the distance, but her mind couldn't help but drift back to a week ago.
On that day, Ian found her with a serious look, "Mia, the traitor within us has surfaced, and there is no doubt that his ultimate goal is you."
Mia wasn't surprised at the time, but her heart was still heavy, "I knew that this day would come sooner or later. What do you think?"
Ian analyzed with a grave expression, "It's hard for them to defeat us completely with the traitor leaking information alone. But to truly deal with you, they will definitely organize a large-scale operation, and in the end, it will definitely come to the point of a duel, do you have the certainty to face multiple Luminary-classes at the same time?"
Mia frowned, a huge pressure gradually surfaced in her heart, "There are now three Luminary level ... in the Storm Council, and even if it's me, it's difficult to deal with them at the same time."
"That's right," Ian said in a deep voice, "To win in the end, we must have a reinforcement that is strong enough."
"A reinforcement?" Mia looked at him thoughtfully, "You mean, requesting reinforcements from the City of Ashes?"
"Yes," Ian said frankly, "but I must warn you that the person who is this support is also taking a great risk. If his identity is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. So you must also give the other man a significant enough promise that he will be willing to take that risk."
Mia was silent for a while and opened her mouth to ask, "You already have someone in mind?"
"That's right," Ian nodded, "William, who has already touched the threshold of the Astral class, is strong enough, but it's not easy to convince him. His biggest concern is that if I can't pass the Aurora Council's trial, the City of Ashes will face the risk of being completely wiped out. Therefore, there is only one condition that can impress him."
Mia immediately understood what he meant, her gaze flickering with complexity, "Are you saying that you want me to go to the Aurora Council's trial as well, and travel with you? This way we will be able to take care of each other, and your chances of passing the trial will be greatly increased."
"Yes," Ian gazed at her, "I know this request is very big for you, but I have nothing better to do. William is the only one who can help us, and you are the only one who can convince him."
The aftermath was known, William did participate in that great battle and took out two Luminary class powerhouses with his own hands.
As the memories ended, Mia sighed softly and turned to look at Ian behind her.
Ian walked forward and said softly, "Mia, you don't have to force yourself. I know you still have a lot of concerns in your heart, now that the situation has stabilized, the decision is completely in your hands, even if it's just me, I'm still confident that I can pass the trial!"
Mia looked at the firm and gentle Ian in front of her, her heart was in a violent struggle, on the one hand, she understood that she should keep her promise, on the other hand, although the resistance army had won, the situation in the city was still not optimistic, a large number of Storm Council members still existed, the resistance army's style of management was very different from the Storm Council, and if they changed their management style, it would inevitably cause a violent backlash from the original members, and Mia was in the In the case of Mia, relying on the strength of the Luminary class, naturally no one dares to oppose, but if Mia leaves, Roy and Jack and others will still be able to control the situation?
Ian also guessed Mia's concern, ''Mia, I understand your concern, you don't have to go with me, it's not easy for the Resistance to achieve such a victory, and the fruits of the victory should be properly maintained. However, I still have to remind you that the current victory is only a short-lived victory, Grimm has a saying that is right, the power hidden behind them is beyond our imagination. "
"Ian, I ... " Mia's heart was filled with guilt, Ian comforted, "There is no need to feel guilty, I can completely understand, in fact, our ideals are the same, I want to establish an era where there is no oppression and everyone is equal, and I am also very tired of the behavior of the people in the upper world treating the lower world as if it were a farm, but my strength is still weak right now, so I have to seize every opportunity to become stronger, when I have enough strength to fight against the whole world, that's the moment to realize my ideal. "
After hearing these words from Ian, the hesitation in Mia's heart was gradually replaced by a new wave of determination.
She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Ian, I have hesitated and worried. But you're right, if I stay here all the time, it's hard for my strength to increase tremendously, and if another Astral class comes along someday, I won't be able to fight against it, so instead of holding on to a not-so-solid victory like this, it's better to go for it! Since our destinies are already intertwined, I won't back down. I promise you that I will travel with you to the Aurora Council and take part in the trial, but give me some time to take care of things within the city."
Ian revealed a relieved smile and said softly, "Thank you, Mia. With you here, I have more confidence in this trial."
Mia smiled faintly, her gaze flickering with perseverance, "This is not just for you, but also for the future of everyone in Storm City and Ash City. Since I chose this path, I can never turn back."

As the night deepened, the starlight softly fell on the two of them, as if silently blessing them to bravely embark on the upcoming unknown journey. Mia would never have thought that this decision today would lead to a future "Angel of Judgement" with a great reputation under the starry sky.
