Jethro and Kekius weren't the only ones to be stunned by the extraordinary mismatch.
The rest of the students reacted with raised brows, chuckles and murmurs. Most of them had no idea who Oand Wexley was, but it hardly mattered. Watching a nobody about to face Eryn Fenlor was cause enough for morbid amusement.
They all knew how this would end: a nobody versus a legend was destined to be brutal.
The laughter and murmurs intensified as the cylindrical energy field materialized, depositing Oand and Eryn into the arena.
All of the laughter were directed at Oand, who stood rigid with nerves, white-knuckling his Glimmerpond Toad— Froggy —like a lifeline.
Across from him stood Eryn Fenlor, radiating regal superiority as his lips curled into a lazy smirk. On his shoulder was his burning orange mechbeast, a Paragon Phoenix, while at his feet sat his Pyronic Beaver.
Neither mechbeast was a laughing matter.
