Chapter 39: Shadows of Ambition
---
The victory over the Phoenix House sent ripples of excitement throughout the arena,
But the atmosphere quickly shifted when Dabi spotted a shadow lurking near the entrance.
A figure cover in dark robes stood at the edge of the arena, watching intently as the next match commenced.
Dabi felt a chill run down his spine; there was something unsettling about the presence.
As the tournament progressed, Dabi and his friends continued to win their matches, displaying remarkable synergy and strength.
However, the shadowy figure remained, often appearing just out of sight, as if waiting for the perfect moment to make a move.
During a break between matches, Dabi decided to investigate.
"I'll be right back. I need to check something," he told Zen and Rina.
"Be careful, Dabi," Taro warned, a frown creasing his brow. "Something feels off about this tournament."
