Pearl was on the platform now with her gaze on her opponent who looked like he was trying to intimidate him from where he was standing.
Michael Jonah was a dark-haired third-year student, he had quite thick arms and a face that looked pretty intimidating but Pearl wasn't someone that got intimidated easily especially when this isn't her first time in this competition.
"Hey, your ability's hydro, right?" He asked with his gaze on Pearl but she didn't respond to him and just stood there with his arms crossed.
"Are the two of you ready?" The sergeant asked and the two replied by nodding. "Alright, you may then begin your fight."
"Well, you don't have to tell me, I saw you during last year's tournament, the way you fight is pretty mesmerizing," Michael said as a black sword slowly appeared in his hand.
"Oh, so this is your first time in the tournament, that's cool, welcome newbie," Pearl said before putting on a warm smile.
