The arena is filled with energy. Every seat was filled, and the crowd, ravenous for humiliation of leonhardt, leaned in eagerly. This wasn't about skill or honor—it was about spectacle. They wanted blood, a show, and most of all, to see Leonhardt Caulem crushed.
Near the front, Rin sat quietly, her emerald eyes fixed on the arena gates, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Around her, the taunts and laughter swirled like a storm. She blocked it out, her worry growing heavier. Leonhardt...
In the middle of the arena, Professor Gidon walked out. "First contenstent—third-year Bronze A student, Garrik Vorne!" he declared, his voice echoing through the stands.
The left gate groaned open, and Garrik emerged like a wild beast. His huge body radiated raw strength, each step eliciting deafening cheers.
"Garrik! Garrik!" the crowd roared. Of Course they all bet on him.
"End it quick!" shouted someone.
"Give us a show!"
Garrik grinned, feeding off their energy, cracking his knuckles loudly as he rolled his shoulders.
Gidon raised a hand to quiet the noise. "And his opponent—second-year Bronze A student, Leonhardt Caulem!"
The name was met with uproarious laughter. The jeers were merciless, echoing through the arena like a storm.
"Trash!"
