"Hey, isn't that the special duo?" A player murmured aloud in surprise when he saw the two girls standing before Ethan.
Upon hearing this comment, various reactions began to ripple through the group, with some members expressing concern for Ethan's well-being.
The special duo – a term that resonated with those well-versed in famous players – was an easy recognition for anyone.
Maki and Mari, twin sisters from the East, were both ranked in the top 7 worldwide. While individually they held the 11th and 12th ranks, their unique situation mirrored Ethan's.
Unlike Ethan, their given ranks were their actual ranks. However, due to their incredible combat synergy when fighting together, players around the world unofficially considered them as one rank higher. When the twins fought as a team, they displayed the combat prowess of a rank 7 player. Their wealth, fame, and equipment also matched this elevated rank.
