To hear that Quinn was participating in the event was something none of them could've expected. Not only that, but instead of the earlier cheers, his name getting mentioned brought on some whispers with the first years.
"But I thought he was a fugitive?"
"He was captured, so maybe they want to make an example out of him?"
"But if he killed a Sergeant then maybe he could probably go toe to toe with a second year?"
"You forget that the second years have soul weapons, and most of them are level 8. Maybe even above."
There were rumors that Originals were beyond that of a level 8, and one of the flaws of the watch system was that it was only capable of measuring MC up to level 8. A random person with a level 8 ability didn't have the same amount of MC that someone like the Big Four leaders would have, despite them both being at the same level.
Despite them going to military base 1, Quinn wasn't there.
