Dante got called for his second match the next day.

It was an outsider, and apparently, they were incredibly strong. That was all that Dante knew.

The crowd chanted as the Hero climbed into the stage to face off against…

A woman with a pointy hat?

She was dressed completely in white, as was usual in the arena, but she had a white pointed hat and robes that touched the floor. She also had dark-colored skin and was taller than Dante. Twice as tall, Dante realized. She was skinny but well-waisted.

Her staff was even taller than her, which was already quite impressive. Dante wondered how she even fit through doors.

It was probably extremely annoying.

“Hello,” she said while bowing down in an educated movement.

“Hello” responded Dante, imitating the gesture poorly.
