Annual Martial Arts Competition

A few days later, the annual martial arts competition held by the Firecrown Household finally began. This event was supposed to be a normal tradition of the household, but something was special about this year's competition. It was the presence of the numerous renowned figures in the city who were invited to watch the event. There were even famous martial practitioners from neighboring cities who attended. The one who attracted the most attention was Aubrey Silversword. The person who came with her, Manager John, also garnered attention. 

"Miss Aubrey, we were looking for you." 

Aubrey turned her head and saw Lucas and Samantha. 

"I'll be fine on my own," Aubrey whispered to Manager John before she walked toward Lucas and Samantha.

Manager John didn't leave her out of his sight. He kept a certain distance from them so as not to disturb Aubrey. 

"Have you guys seen Fredrinn?" Aubrey asked while searching for that familiar figure.
