Confusion

Ever since the news of the ranking list and the challenge system came out, Kieran had received several warnings not to go too far whenever he was about make a challenge. It was expected that the second stage recruits like them would try to challenge rankers and get on the list, but there was a reason why only the bottom rankers had been challenged.

Jake on the other hand, just ignored all those and went directly for the 67th ranker. Kieran was a hundred percent sure that Jake had watched the match that had just concluded and had seen what someone who stood at the 73rd rank could do.

'Why would he do something like this?'

Kieran's thoughts churned, trying to understand what his motive could be; but he couldn't come up with anything, so he decided to sit and watch.

He knew Jake. He was a battle hungry fellow, but he was in no way stupid! How true those thoughts were though depended on the outcome of this fight.
