Before heading from the 30th to the 31st floor, Clara made a heartfelt confession to Rohan, after much internal deliberation.

"Oppa… Actually, I…"

Clara revealed the true weapon she had been keeping hidden from both Rohan and Shion.

Rohan, though he had never mentioned it, had known about this from the beginning.

Shion, too, had suspected as much after the brief standoff they had back in the academy dorms. She’d realized Clara’s real weapon wasn’t a dagger or a pistol.

Just as Ichinose Yui wielded Yoru (Night) and Noah Frozenheart had Fimbulvetr, Clara also possessed a unique, exclusive weapon.

"Sorry for not telling you sooner… I wasn’t trying to hide it…"@@novelbin@@

"I’m just happy you told us, Clara. Don’t feel bad about it."

Rohan’s words were completely sincere.

He felt both gratitude and pride for Clara, who had decided to open up. After all, the reason she revealed her secret was her concern for him—who could blame her for that?

"Clara, is it okay for me to know this too?"

Shion, who had been quietly observing, asked cautiously.

Clara shyly nodded, a smile on her face, and Shion, feeling warm and fuzzy inside, smiled back.

The time spent fighting together in the dungeon had brought the two girls closer, and that closeness made Rohan all the more pleased.

"Let’s go."

"Ah, okay…!"

Even without Clara explaining why she hadn’t used her weapon earlier, Rohan already understood.

This was consistent with her story in Abyss City. The weapon, while incredibly powerful in range and attack strength, consumed an extraordinary amount of mana to wield.

Knowing Clara’s personality, she must have been worried about becoming a burden to the team due to mana exhaustion.

‘And it’s not like we’ve been in a situation where she really needed to use it. Most of our fights have been prolonged battles.’

But that weapon was not only central to Clara’s identity but also a key to her overwhelming damage-dealing capabilities.
