Meeting Nori (1)

The new year's competition in the underground arena had begun.

Everyone's excitement had been raised to unprecedented heights by Pinky's spectacular performance last year. So now, even with a few standout new and old competitors, the audience still didn't seem as interested as last year.

To avoid drawing attention and unnecessary trouble, Yuka and her two companions split up to head to the second floor.

They quickly located the bodyguards patrolling the underground arena, and revealed their identities, and the bodyguards in black suits immediately escorted them upstairs, blocking others who tried to follow.

Upon opening the door to the second floor, Yuka was greeted by a large reception room. A smaller door sat directly opposite the main one and was also open.
