The emptiness that radiated from the dead fish eyes guy's demeanor was so palpable that even their fellow team member, Niu, couldn't help but take notice. Sensing trouble lurking within the depths of the guy's expressionless face, Niu whispered to Sin, cautioning him about the potential dangers that lay ahead. It became clear that the guy's presence posed a threat that needed to be swiftly dealt with, leaving them no choice but to "finish" him without delay.
Sin comprehended the concept of "finish" that she had mentioned. In a hushed tone, Sin inquired if she possessed knowledge about the notorious entity known as the Anti-Hero Society. Niu, with a nod of affirmation, revealed that this organization's existence was common knowledge among the masses. Moreover, Niu divulged that the Anti-Hero Society had recently been actively opposing and targeting heroes in public, thus solidifying their widespread recognition and notoriety.
Niu pondered for a moment, contemplating a certain idea before expressing it to Sin. She mentioned that if Sin believed that dead fish had some sort of connection to that particular group, it was indeed a plausible assumption. However, it was important to note that nothing had been officially confirmed, leaving room for the possibility of being mistaken. Nevertheless, Sin had a strong conviction in his dislike towards that individual.
Sin was deep in thought, contemplating whether or not AHS would eventually coerce him into joining their ranks. The manner in which they conversed with him seemed to suggest that it was not a matter of choice, but rather an inevitable fate - either he would willingly become a part of their organization or they would go to extreme lengths to eradicate him.
Once more, Sin's gaze fixated on the lifeless, vacant expression of the boy's eyes which resembling a dead fish. Seated nonchalantly on a weathered bench, he exuded an air of indifference that suggested obliviousness to the recent unsettling events that had unfolded merely moments ago. It was as if the chaos and turmoil that had transpired by the Sharingan had left no imprint on his demeanor, as if he were detached from the reality surrounding him.
Wesley made a statement asserting that he had previously encountered the young boy who originated from the esteemed Varun family. It is worth mentioning that this particular family was known to belong to the lower ranks of society, specifically identified as a Baronet family of modest status.
Upon being informed of this revelation, Sin nodded in agreement, as he was already aware of the renowned reputation held by the Varun family. What was truly surprising, however, was the fact that despite their humble social status, the Varun family possessed an impeccable standing in society. It was truly captivating to observe that their moral principles and codes of conduct were even more rigid and uncompromising than those upheld by the highly esteemed Duke families, who were widely recognized for their aristocratic heritage that spanned countless generations.
Over the course of their long lineage, the Varun Family has rarely found themselves entangled in legal matters, with only a handful of criminal cases ever reaching the courtroom. Coming from a modest background and deeply rooted in their devout beliefs of the Shiva religion, it was perplexing for Sin to consider the possibility that the intense scrutiny he was receiving from the young boy could be related to something entirely unrelated to the notorious AHS.
Sin then thought, well he will come face to face with the truth once he confronts him. Inquiring about the timing of their final showdown, Sin turned to his fellow participants, unaware of the day's schedule. Niu kindly informed him that the final match of their core was scheduled to take place a couple of hours later.
Sin gave a nod, and thought that the allotted time was indeed sufficient for him to regain his strength and energy. As he contemplated the upcoming challenges that lay ahead, he became aware of the emotions stirring within him, urging him to push forward and give his all in the final matches. Drawing upon his extensive experience and expertise gained over the course of his illustrious twenty-year boxing career, was sending him a clear message.
After the conclusion of the semi-finals, the atmosphere in the arena was filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement and expectation. The crowd eagerly assembled, not out of obligation, but fueled by a genuine longing to experience the grandeur of the final matches. This highly-anticipated event promised to be an electrifying spectacle, surpassing the lackluster performances witnessed in the previous semi-finals and group stages.
Not only did ordinary people, but also respected figures and notable personalities, grace the finals of each core of the preliminary. Although a significant portion of the attendees originated from the Asmodeus Dutchy, there were also individuals representing diverse states in attendance.
Alan Jackson, a man whose body was adorned with the marks of countless battles and adventures, was a living legend in his own right. With a storied past that had earned him a reputation as a renowned adventurer, he now found himself in the midst of this Sprite God Tournament Preliminary round. Standing before a captivated audience, his eyes sparkling with excitement, he relayed to the person he was standing beside that the rumor had recently reached his ears - the upcoming iteration of the Asmodeus Dutchy's preliminary promised to be a spectacle like no other, drawing in a diverse group of bold and daring individuals from all corners of the dutchy.
This year, the tournament welcomes Wesley Oliver, a newcomer who has never before taken part in this event. While he may lack prior experience to participants in this tournament, Wesley is highly regarded as a remarkably gifted young individual. His inclusion in the competition injects an exhilarating dynamic, as we eagerly await the unveiling of yet another promising up-and-coming talent in this field.
The individual that was responding to, Alan Jackson, is none other than Ekizu Iga, a prominent figure within the esteemed Great Iga Family. This family, known for their immense pride and distinguished lineage, holds a significant position within society. Ekizu Iga himself carries the weight of this legacy, exemplifying the noble values and traditions that have been passed down through generations. With his name evoking a sense of respect and admiration, Ekizu Iga stands as a testament to the enduring strength and influence of the Great Iga Family
