The Raiden Faction
After the old man left the arena, the men in charge of the platforms came forward.
"Whoever wishes to challenge anyone from the Faction they desire to join should stay on the platform, the rest can go back to their seats." One of the men said.
Most of the people on the platform decided against it. They saw the outcome of those who tried it in the Origin Plane. Those who were defeated lost their will, and only a few managed to even get into the top one hundred.
In the end, only eight people were left on the platforms, Alice and Reynolds included.
When they saw Alice and Reynolds standing on the platform, a few of the people who they've managed to gain their attention looked on with interest, wondering which Faction they would want to join.
Since there were ten platforms present, then all eight battles could take place simultaneously without any need of waiting.
