Bab 185: I Forfeit...

(Say I Quit This Match)

Adrian's mind was suddenly invaded by the authoritative voice again, more clear and demanding this time.

'What?' Adrian was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure. The sudden intrusion of the Dream Stalker's voice threw him off balance, but he tried to understand the situation. 'Does that psycho want to meet in the team battle and not in the individual battle? What should I do?'

As Adrian struggled with his decision, his eyes met Aria's and then turned to the judge. While Aria's purple eyes glowed slightly, and a calm determination and a unique feeling behind them.

"I... I..." Adrian's voice wavered, neither loud nor soft. He knew he couldn't abandon all the preparations and strategies he had put in place. Exposing the Dream Stalker was more important than this event. "I qui—"

"I forfeit."

"Eh?"
