"AND FOR HIS OPPONENT, YOU KNOW HIM! A PREVIOUS PARTICIPANT OF THE CLASH OF STARS–LACIAN, THE AMBER TYRANT!"
A cheer that put his own to shame came from the crowd at the announcement of his enemy. From the tunnel on the opposing end, a man walked in with his hands in the air, relishing in the crowd's excitement.
What was noticed immediately in Noah's vision was the pair of fluffy, burgundy ears atop the tan-skinned man's head. If that wasn't enough, a bushy tail protruded from the contestant's back.
'A dog-man? No, a fox-dude?' Noah guessed.
From the stands, Astrid identified the nature of Noah's opponent as she squinted, "A demi-human…He seems strong."
"Indeed," Rain confirmed. "Every single participant in this tournament is powerful in their own right. Still, I'm confident I bet on the right fighter."
"You would've bet against Noah if you thought Lacian was more formidable?" The orc asked curiously.
"Of course," Rain answered without missing a beat.
