"Ladies and gentlemen, we've received confirmation from the organizers. The battle to decide the brightest star of this batch is about to begin!" announced Akari, her voice vibrant and clearly matching the crowd's excitement.
It was time for the grand finals of the Arcana Primis Cup, and the first to emerge from his tent and make his way toward the stage was Hal.
"Hailing from the illustrious Grand Magic Academy, this freshman went from questionable qualifications to demolishing everything and everyone in his path. He carved his own way forward by toppling other young geniuses, including one of his seniors from the academy, and secured his place in the grand finals through a series of thrilling battles. Give it up for Hal Fennec!!"
After him came the indigo-haired Felix, wearing the same relaxed and aloof expression as always.
It was as if he didn't see his opponent as a threat at all.
Hal could finally understand why Felix was so confident, though.
