"Bring forth your next fighter, Kurogami High!"

The referee ordered.

All eyes landed on the shaky-looking Loralei, who nervously stood up and made her way up to the ring.

They were almost hypnotizing, as she couldn't tear her gaze away and suddenly felt a wave of oppression wash over her.

She felt like a helpless lamb being led to the slaughter.
