After Krune's battle was over, the contestants started to pay attention to him. The guilds higher-ups of the other continents also noticed his presence, especially Yulie Forgon, the Guild Head of the Sky Fall Continent Mercenary Guild. As one can already guess, Shad Forgon is his relative, a grandnephew to be more exactly, noticing Krune's strength made him apprehensive. He was pretty sure that his nephew would get a slot for the Martial Gathering. But now, with Krune there, even if he wins his bracket, Shad will be in poor condition to fight the last seven battles.
He then took a look at Guild Head Bary. He could see he was very calm as if this was totally inside of his expectations. He received the reports the Yule Continent had spread the news about finding a genius, but he totally disregarded such information. Yule Continent geniuses usually wouldn't make much of a difference when compared to theirs. But it seems like that time they really hit the jackpot.
