Monk vs Gento [part 2]

"Wait, Zeno is a girl.... And she's that brutal?" I ask, taken aback by this revelation.

"Shh, lower your voice. She might be among the crowd and hear what we're saying. Since she got banned from participating or spectating the tournament, Zeno usually enters the arena in disguise," Commander Lolan explains in a hushed tone.

"I see... I'm starting to find this all the more interesting. But for now, let's watch the Celestial Monkeys' fight and assess this Gento's prowess," I mutter, turning my gaze back to the spectacle below.

Suddenly, a crunchy sound interrupts my focus, and I glance to the side. Stella is munching on a bag of potato chips, her mouth full. As soon as she notices my gaze, she stops eating and looks at me with an expression akin to a thief caught in the act.

"I'm hungry, master..." Stella manages to speak, still chewing on chips. I don't say anything, simply shaking my head.
