Jayden was once again at the battle ring. Part of it was for administrative purposes — to collect the winnings from their fighters and then carry them back to the sub. However, when he arrived, one of the officials noted that they was an open slot.

[break][break] 'Cross, sir, you had done such a great job last time against Beast Alexandra Briarwood .'

[break][break] And he had a free moment. Why not?

[break][break] Across from the battlefield is someone who looks like they've just barely crawled out of their mother's womb. A teenager probably looking to get his hand's bloody. It didn't look like any grunt Jayden had met before, which meant only one thing.

[break][break] This was a civilian, but how did he get here?

[break][break] Reaching into his belt, he chooses Zorya. The Inkay floats to the center of the ring, crystal-clear gaze zoning in on her opponent.

[break][break] "Have you battled here before?" Jayden inquires first, breaking the silence.
