Part One: Final Clash

From MC's perspective:

Odyssey Monster Zone,

After my turn, the other seed candidates submitted their monster cores. Feeling the gazes around me, I remained silent. 

As the time gets closer, I see the expression on the person from the crimson hall getting brighter.

Does he know? I couldn't help but think of Jonathan's words. My eyes flickered with a cold glint. But the next second it recovered back to normal.

Time passed,

When everyone submitted their monster cores, the final rankings were listed and shown on the screen. My eyes set on the 1st place and then followed other names. 

Looking at the number of points in the 2nd position. My mouth curved into an arc. "Someone managed to achieve 2000 points," I mumbled under my breath. 

The people must have hailed from a strong background. Then after taking a glance at other rankings, I recovered back to my usual position.
