Ezran crossed his arms. "We had about thirty seconds left. What the hell happened?"
Aleman smirked under his helmet.
"Had some… unexpected business to take care of."
Reiner scowled.
"Oh, look who decided to show up."
Aleman turned his head slightly.
"And you are?"
Reiner scoffed.
"I'm the guy who was about to replace you."
Aleman chuckled.
"Shame. Would've been a waste of a slot."
Reiner's face twitched with irritation.
Before the argument could continue, a deep, booming voice filled the Colosseum.
"TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION COMPLETE! COMPETITORS, PREPARE YOURSELVES!"
The Grand Colosseum gates swung open, revealing a massive battlefield inside.
The crowd erupted into cheers.
Lilo smirked while placing bows in her quiver.
"Well, boys… looks like it's time to put on a show."
Aleman eyes locked on the arena as he stepped forward.
"Let's win this thing."
