Bab 871: Alive

'I wonder if he is still a Captain,' Khan thought, lifting the fainted descendant with one hand to place him on his shoulder. 'It's been years since Istrone.'

Khan gestured at Princess Rebecca's tower to resume the tournament before his figure disappeared. His short trip didn't go unnoticed, leaving all the contestants stuck in fear, awe, and curiosity. Still, Princess Rebecca promptly gave the general announcement, and the battles continued.

Meanwhile, Khan reappeared on the terrace, the fainted descendant still on his shoulder. The guests there had also studied the event with the help of the floor's scanners, so Khan's return gave them a chance to appease their curiosity. Yet, Monica spoke first.
