[Jayden]
The instant the first name appeared, a figure carrying a longsword slowly emerged from the eastern tunnel.
Jayden was still wearing the same simple black combat uniform. His face remained completely expressionless, as though the deafening cheers surrounding him had nothing to do with him at all. The longsword that never left his side rested casually in his hand. With every step he took, an incomparably sharp and icy aura spread outward.
"Jayden!"
"The strongest swordsman in the First Layer!"
"One of the championship favorites is here!"
Faced with the endless cheers, Jayden only glanced at the projection screen before calmly walking toward his designated waiting area without making a single unnecessary movement.
Immediately afterward, the second name appeared.
[Helen]
A gentle blue light slowly illuminated another tunnel.
