"Brock!"
Kaiser exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief.
And just like him—
"Brat!"
Brock responded, grinning from ear to ear.
They stared at each other for a second, the shock of the encounter settling in.
Both of them were now Silver Rankers—but Kaiser hadn't expected to run into Brock this soon. With multiple Silver Places and Training Grounds, the chances were slim.
Yet here they were, they met on Kaiser's second day in the training ground.
"It's been a while."
Brock said, chuckling and shaking his head. He still looked like he couldn't believe it.
Kaiser nodded, his smile growing wider. Then, with growing excitement in his voice—
"Where are Jin and Khan?"
He asked that.
Kaiser glanced around, eyes scanning the training ground, expecting to see the two not far away.
But no matter where he looked... There was no sign of them.
"Hm?"
His smile slowly faded. Confusion settled on his face.
Then, turning back to Brock—
That's when he noticed it.
"..."
