Hell to pay

There was quickly a shift from what the original plan was which was any student who could beat Sage in a sparring section now became a new arrival who demanded he went in place of Sage.

But as it was with everything about him concealed, his face failed to show any sign or hint of what he was probably cooking up in his head.
