Ash looked around, trying to see if she could find any means of escape in case this actually was a sort of ambush. There were multiple guards standing by around the square, covering different exits. Varcon continued what he was announcing to the crowd.
"Our new Saviors will show you Magia's living blessings!"
What the fuck is he talking about? Ash asked herself with crossed arms.
"Ah." Satsuhiro nodded to himself. "I get it."
"Well, I don't," Ash told him. "Care to explain?"
"Check her stats."
The half-demon did so, focusing on the girl dressed in gold, and her eyes widened.
Level 9
MP: 10/10
Oh. As Varcon continued saying vaguely holy-sounding things, Ash sighed.
"He wants to humiliate me."
"Yeah." Satsuhiro nodded.
"What?" Keiko asked. "What's happening?"
"Varcon wants me to fight another Savior, only she's already level 9."
"That's... But, why?" Keiko asked, confused.
