The first matchup of the second bracket ended uneventfully, and now it was Ako's turn to go up on stage. The crowd had become excited again because it was now Ako's turn.
Ako stood on the stage and looked across at the young man whose name she did not know. Tou, on the other hand, was waiting for the battle to start so he could use the needle in his hand to regain the face he lost during his previous fight with the slime girl. The posture and actions did not escape Ako's eyes. She could tell there was something up, just did not know what.
Old Wen stood at the side of the stage and looked at both Ako and Tou, nodding to both. "Let the battle begin!" As soon as he yelled out, he quickly hopped off the stage and acted naturally as he always did.
