Amon opened his eyes as he heard his pod open with a bulging pop.
Cold steam poured out as the lid opened and he stepped out.
Like always, everyone in the hall was silent, staring at him.
However, this time even fear was included in those gazes.
Amon didn't care though.
He ignored all of the stares and looked at Adam and Alya who stepped out of their pods.
He smiled subtly and gave a thumbs-up.
"Congratulations to us for winning the team battles." His silent voice occurred in the hall.
From the front, he saw the opposing team step out as well.
Liliana's eyes were empty kind of. Soulless in a way.
She simply left the hall without a word even when Alya and Charlotte called her.
Ren, however, clicked his tongue.
"Fuck…so close." He said.
He didn't seem to be fazed by what happened in the match.
Rather, he looked at Amon and came running locking him in a hug.
