«Aaah... I wonder if those two will ever get along...» Viktoria murmurs with weary exasperation.
Viktoria, Selene, and I sit in the front row of the arena stands, waiting for the duel between Jasmine and Arielle to begin. We can only hope this will finally be the time they put an end to their squabbles.
Strangely, the stands are quite crowded this afternoon. It's not that their match isn't worth attention, but neither of them has ever made it past the semifinals in the nine semester tournaments they've entered. From the outside, it might seem like a duel that doesn't look particularly exciting, yet the large crowd made me think twice—probably curious since this is their very first duel. They had never faced each other before, not even in the school tournaments.
