Two middle-aged elders from the debate hall reached the center of the stage and explained the challenge rules to Reon and Gin.
From beginning to end, Reon didn't glance at Gin treating him as air. There's no reason to spare a glance at someone who's going to lose and that too a nameless somebody with no background.
With his status, he considers this contest as a disgrace to him. If not for the request from the family, he wouldn't bother with this kind of challenge.
Among the crowd, many cheered Reon with praising words and some of the females in the debate halls stared at him with sparkling eyes. As for Gin, he got jeered by the crowd.
He didn't mind any of this. With a slight smile in his lips, Gin had a relaxed and poised appearance.
It's understandable that no one supports him as none in the Alchemy city knew him, or so he thought.
