John Tarmias against Earth Tepes.
The excitement in the arena stadium instantly. Whispers and murmurs filled the stands, all centered around one name first: John Tarmias. Everyone knew about John—his reputation preceded him.
John had arrived at the academy alongside Amael, both of them undergoing rehabilitation. Like Amael, John had struggled with behavior issues, his rebellious personality often placing him at odds with the strict expectations of the academy. It didn't help that he had been thrust into the Gold Class, sharing space with twisted prodigies like Alvara and Adrian. But time had changed him since then as he became stronger since the attack in the Dolphian Capital. His recent, much-publicized relationship with Amelia Dolphis had only added to his newfound fame, drawing even more eyes to him.
