Mikan's Dilemma, The Strange Ashton

"This is insane, he trounced him; that guy even managed to take down Seya of the Martial Union with hardly any effort!" A talent from an association said with shock in their eyes.

"Tch, I guess that's the reason why he's called the strongest; it looks like his fame is deserving," Another talent said with a serious expression.

On the side of the Martial Union, Kailua Mei had a profound look in her eyes as did Kojima Ryusei; they both stared at Ashton, who slowly dismounted the stage without caring for anyone.

'Master was right; unlike the others, he surely won't be an easy challenge. It looks like I might need to take this event more seriously than I'd thought,' She pondered to herself while Ryusei merely observed in silence before his attention turned back to Ryo, who, of course, kept his attention elsewhere.

'Just you wait…' He thought with a vicious set of eyes filled with hatred.
