Chapter 128: Titanium Division 1
As the golden lights faded and the crowd’s cheers mellowed into whispers of anticipation, a new tone swept across the arena.
Gone was the playful commentary, as well as the laughter and lighthearted rivalry. The arena floor sank into darkness, and then—like the raising of a god’s stage—a massive obsidian ring emerged from below, encased in shimmering energy barriers that crackled faintly.
Above, the screen dimmed before revealing an insignia etched in brilliant platinum-blue, the very emblem of the Titanium Division.
The crowd stood up as everyone - even the seated VIPs - knew that this was not just another division, but rather the summit of esper power.
This was what most came here for, be it the factions like Supreme Force and even the Ancients - they definitely sent a secret observer disguised as a normal person - as well as the businesses like Daoming Corp and finally the top esper clans looking to recruit affiliates.
Lysandra’s voice returned, low and ceremonial. "The time has come... to welcome the peak of the Academy. The division that holds the future’s might, the foundations of factions, the shadows of the mighty Reaper’s path. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Titanium Division!!"
Thunderous applause erupted as light spears descended from the ceiling, illuminating the grand staircase now forming at the side of the arena, one fit for royalty.
Lysandra continued as she gestured to the holographic display. "Thirty-two participants, each one a terror in their own right. From elite A-Class combatants to full-fledged S-Class legends. They will not fight for fame... but for supremacy!"
And then, their names began to appear, with each name shimmering against a backdrop of color-coded rankings.
