"I would have never thought that you would be here," Zern transmitted to Gravis.
"Why not?" Gravis answered with a laugh.
"Well, first of all, you have a beast-"
Suddenly, Zern's eyes widened, and he looked at the corner of the hall. Every corner had a beast crystal.
Zern saw the beast crystals shining red, and panic appeared in his eyes.
Then, he looked around at everyone else with shock and confusion.
Why was no one noticing that the beast crystals were shining red!?
The bright, red light wasn't subtle. It nearly illuminated the entire hall. It was impossible to not notice something like that!
"Surprised?" Gravis asked with a voice transmission.
Zern looked with surprise at Gravis, while the other disciples from the Sects looked confused at Zern. What was up with that guy? Had he become nervous because of the tournament?
"How has no one noticed the beast crystals?" he asked.
