The stadium was alive with noise and chatter. Many of the onlookers watching the screen had been left in a state of deep shock, unable to utter a word, but once the initial shock had dissipated, their voices did not die down.
In a corner of the stadium, many guild representatives were busy contacting and coordinating with their members back at the office who were watching the stream. Everyone was prepared to analyze the battle footage in real time.
On the screen, the Demon King—Lake—stared at the startled students from across the hall, a heartless smirk on his face.
[Holy shit. It's here. The Mage has finally made his appearance!]
[Just when I was starting to think he wouldn't show up...]
[This is it! This is what I was waiting for!]
[Popcorn already prepared.]
The reaction online was even more absurd, with thousands of messages popping up each minute.
[To think he was the Demon King, just what is the academy thinking?]
[Heh, lol. Is this even meant to be a challenge?]
