The Last Ranked Match

Azer Karuza shook hands with some of the parents and had some small talk, but at that moment, an anxious-looking teacher came running over to him.

"Principal!"

"What is it, Johnson?" Azer asked with a raised eyebrow. "What's with the hurry?"

"Ryan just challenged Kiernan to a ranked match!" Johnson said excitedly. "They need your permission first, though."

"Ryan did what?" Azer's eyes shook. 'Why would he do that? He can't possibly think about defeating Kiernan, right?'

"What will I say to them?" Johnson asked.

"I'll give them my permission." Azer said.

"B-but, so suddenly, we don't have a referee on standby!" Johnson shouted anxiously.

"No need." Azer removed his jacket. "I shall act as referee for this."

"Y-you will?" Johnson looked surprised and then nodded. "Alright!"
