In a flash, three days had passed. Apart from occasional attacks from the Metal Sharks, nothing of significance happened. Except for one thing. Ashton had officially chosen ten members from the guards to join his faction.
Surprisingly, those who didn't get selected weren't salty about it. It could be blamed on Ashton's rigorous selection methods. To be fair to the candidates, Ashton reduced the time limit of his 1-on-1 duel to thirty seconds.
But none of them could even last ten seconds despite being given a head start. However, someone did come close to outlasting the time limit.
His name was Jeno. When Ashton first saw him, nothing stood out about him. However, Ashton soon realised even [Detection] skill wasn't absolute.
[Detection] could inform him about the stats and tendencies of the opponent, but it did not tell Ashton how the person would use those stats to their advantage.
