Everyone turned to look at the arena. Chief Lupan walked up to the stage, with a familiar face facing him on the other side.
"Lupan… I apologize for this, but I can't give you any mercy for this competition. My allies want that Promotion, you see," said the Niveous Pack Chief.
Chief Lupan scoffed. He knew that being competitive was part of the celebrations, but did he have to be so obnoxious about it.
He wanted to get mad, but then remembered who he was sending. Smiling, he turned back and gestured for Sheina to approach.
"I should say that to you," Chief Lupan said to his opponent before leaving the stage.
Finally, both Archers stood face to face against each other.
And instead of tumultuous cheering and excited shouts, the audience in the colosseum turned uncharacteristically quiet. They mumbled in a confused mess.
"Who is that?"
"Is she a… demi-human?"
"No. There's no way they're sending a demi-human in this competition."
