Tournament End

(Chris's PoV)

After waiting for half an hour, a burly man appeared before us and announced, "I am going to announce the results".

Once he did, everyone gathered around him, eager to see whether they made the cut and, if not, who made it to the top.

"The first rank belongs to Nathan Valcrove. Congratulations", the man smiled at the boy who should be Nathan.

Well, the ones besides him are congratulating him, so he must be Nathan, no doubt about that.

Wait, Valcrove, I recognise that name, but from where?

Hmm, I remember. There was a beast tamer who died saving a town from a beast tide a few years ago. He was hailed as the Hero of the Federal Alliance.

That man's name was Albert Valcrove.

If I remember correctly, the news back then said that the man had a son around my age. I didn't remember all the details, but that was something I remembered well.
