Tournament [12] [Over?]

A loud, sharp ring buzzed through the arena, silencing the excited murmurs of the crowd.

"The final Phase begin now!" the announcer bellowed, his voice full of energy.

The crowd roared in response, the stadium trembling with the weight of excitement.

One by one, the remaining participants marched onto the expanded stage, the ground beneath them solidified and reinforced by earth mages.

A storm of cheers erupted when a familiar figure in black appeared — the crowd's chants unified into a single deafening wave.

"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

Kai's eyes narrowed slightly.

The others looked around, shifting uneasily—none of them were eager to cross paths with him.

Then Kai caught the glimpse of Aria among the crowd, her figure calm, poised like a drawn arrow ready to fire.

Riven leaned over the railing, cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Go, Aria! Show 'em how it's done!"

Kai stayed silent, arms crossed.
