Garden.

In the Coldland's waiting room.

Giron was giving advice to Sariel because he was the first fighter.

His only job is to defeat two first members.

After that, he can give up because they cannot afford Sariel to get heavily injured.

He is still young, and getting injured would hinder his progress.

That happened to Michael, and Giron is certain that Michael will stay behind other Kings.

But it only means that he has to train harder to catch up.

Ichiro's job is to defeat Avery, and if he can't...

He needs to injure him.

Avery is still a Martial Commander, and he cannot be underestimated.

Giron has faith that Richard will win against Avery, but he cannot risk anything.

The Principal has a lot of pressure on his back after Abyss moved to Coldland.

And losing in the Battle of Cities would be disastrous.

*Knock* *Knock*

A knocking came from the waiting room's door.
