"...?!" Everyone in the hall fell into a horrifying silence, the kind of silence that seemed to physically weigh upon the room, and then eyes slowly began widening as though they were watching the world itself crumble before them piece by piece. For several moments, nobody moved, nobody spoke, and even the flow of energy within the hall appeared to have become strangely subdued as each person attempted to process what had just been said.
The only person wearing a different expression was Serfon, who suddenly burst into manic laughter as though he had just witnessed the most predictable event in existence finally unfold before his eyes. "Khiyokhiyokhiyokhiyo~" The laughter continued for several seconds, echoing throughout the hall and only further inflaming the already volatile situation while making the atmosphere even more unbearable for everyone present.
