When the names of the competitors began to display on the light screen above the arena, the players finally stepped into the arena.
Suyatutai and Onassis stepped up to the stage and immediately triggered a wave of cheers from the audience. However, the two on the stage did not divert their attention to the audience but gazed intently at each other.
Before entering the Purification Garden, Angel had encountered Suyatutai in that valley; at that time, Suyatutai appeared as a refined scholar. His demeanor resembled that of Professor Angler, the 'Strummer' from White Coral Floating Island Academy—gentle and courteous, with eyes twinkling with erudite wisdom.
Nowadays, Suyatutai looked not much different from before but was slightly younger and more handsome. The aura around him remained elegantly scholarly as always.
