Shy Vol. 02

Shy has shown she can handle the basics of being a defender of justice, but with the mysterious boy known as Stigma still at large, that might not be enough. Determined to become stronger, she holds a mock battle against Stardust, one of the most famous figures in the heroing world—and a merciless opponent. With her status as a hero on the line, can Shy awaken her new powers?!
