[Day 2 of the Tournament – Quarter-Finals]
[Location: The Arena Floor]
The steam from Lukas's victory had barely cleared before the Announcer's voice boomed again, shaking the stone foundations of the Colosseum.
"WHAT AN UPSET! CLASS F TAKES THE FIRST MATCH!"
The crowd buzzed. The narrative was shifting. Class F wasn't a joke anymore; they were dangerous. They were volatile.
"BUT NOW... WE HAVE A BATTLE OF LINEAGE!"
The East Gate opened, revealing a path of frost that formed instantly on the ground.
"FROM CLASS S... THE ICE PRINCESS, ELISE VANE!"
Elise walked out. She was the picture of aristocratic perfection.
Her silver hair flowed like a waterfall, and her combat robes were embroidered with the crest of House Vane, a silver Sea Serpent coiled around a trident.
She held a wand made of white coral, pulsating with cold mana.
She didn't wave to the crowd. She simply walked to her position, radiating a cold, untouchable confidence.
