Kapitel 104: • The Iron Gauntlet (3)

Dumbfounded! He was absolutely dumbfounded!

Did Akemi just kill someone? And in such a ghastly manner as well. She had shown no emotion doing it, almost like she didn't care at all, like taking human life was something that she had become accustomed to.

She knew nothing about the stakes, about the rules of the match and the rewards. Nevertheless, she had fought ruthlessly. Spheris had seen it in her body movements and sensed it in her shadow.

How long has she been in this place and how many fights did they put her through?

Or perhaps... has she always been that brutal? Hiding it behind her taciturn mask and her dainty voice. Akemi Nagata.

Spheris slightly shuddered at the thought of it. If that was true, then Akemi was even more maniacal and clever than he was.

And what was that Influence?! He hadn't heard what she called it from where he was standing, but what a macabre, dreadful Influence it was.
