There is no way to describe the expectation; without a doubt, Shiro was the most talented player, followed perhaps by Karslan.
Now the question was to see at what level Lion could be. We already knew about his ability, but really, if it were not to disparage Zendra, this would be a fight against the number one ranker.
If I had to judge him by his appearance and behavior, I would say that he was relaxed... he stretched his arms a little like any athlete would do before starting the competition.
"Do you think he has any chance?" I asked Darius and Ronin who knew him best...
"If that boy were the same guy who played with us a few years ago, I would say no... in this scenario there is nowhere to hide, where to overwhelm from safety, unless he knows a bug that we all don't know about, he would be screwed..." Darius began.
