"GAYOON-AH, you probably didn't know since you've just rejoined the team, but the rules have changed."
Tsk.
Ki Gayoon was annoyed when Ryu Sungbin called his name familiarly, but it was even more annoying because he knew the bastard did it mockingly.
This bastard always speaks like an "older brother" when he's trying to lecture you.
"Before you can challenge the current #1 Esper, you must receive permission from President Cheol Kang, Chief Kim Munhee, and President Kwak Hakjae first," Ryu Sungbin explained. "But even if you gain their seal of approval immediately, we still have to wait for at least a month before we can have an official duel."
Gayoon knitted his eyebrows. "Why wait for that long?"
"If two Espers within the Top 5 agree to a duel with their official ranks on the line, then it should be done on a big stage. The people in charge of official matches need at least a month to prepare a big stage for us."
