Zero Vs Aricen

"Are you done yet? If so, let's get the battle started. I don't have time to waste on you!"

Zero's calm response seemed to catch Aricen off guard. The crowd fell into a hushed silence, surprised by Zero's unwavering confidence in the face of Aricen's provocation.

The geniuses felt that Zero really was arrogant. He wasn't really afraid of Rank-S Elenia and it was the same for Aricen, both of whom are stronger than him, at least in terms of rank.

Aricen, not used to his taunts being met with such indifference, felt a twinge of frustration. He had expected Zero to react with anger or fear, but Zero's composed demeanor was getting under his skin.

"Very well, human. You'll regret your arrogance soon enough!"

Aricen said. He didn't think that wasting any more words on Zero was going to yield anything. He gave him the chance to apologize but he didn't. So, Aricen was going to teach Alan a lesson that he will never forget, or at least that is his intention.

"Are you both ready?"
