The quarterfinals were coming up, and everyone was hyped. The platinum screen shifted and began showing the proposed lineup for the quarterfinal fight, but suddenly, the display paused, which left spectators baffled.
Lysandra was also stunned until she received some information through her headset, and she frowned but still acquiesced.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems there will be some changes to the lineup. Coming forward is our esper world's current strongest himself, Dean Rochester, with a proposal for you all," she said slowly, then gestured to the space beside her.
Gasps filled the arena.
Then, without a sound, a perfect vertical void opened at the side of the platform. Unlike Sophia's quick-bending rifts, this one was wide, seamless, elegant, like space being gently peeled open.
From it stepped a man that needed no introduction.
Dean William Rochester.
S+ or beyond. The former master of Reaper. The trainer of Overlord Kaizer Lunin.
