Secret Summon

The break was almost over.

"Brother, shall we head to the arena?" Cail asked determinedly.

"..."

Xander, who was still sitting outside the arena on a nearby bench, looked at his surroundings.

The people started to hurry inside.

"Go first. I still have some business here."

"But there isn't much time lef-"

"I said that you should leave. Now." Xander repeated in an annoyed tone as he sharpened his gaze.

"U-understood..." Cail replied weakly.

With his head hung low, Cail headed to the arena.

And when he finally disappeared from Xander's eyesight, a person, wearing a coat, sat down beside him.

"Are you all here now?" Xander asked, without looking at the person.

"Yes. The others have scattered themselves amongst the people." the person, who sounded like a guy Xander's age, replied.

"And how is it looking on the other side?"

"Everything's ready. We're only waiting for the signal."
