Rhode didn't let Anne know what potion he passed to her. She took it over, finished it, and swung her tiny fist in midair to protest against the audience. She didn't feel any effects from the potion apart from a cooling sensation flowing down her throat.
Most of the audience covered their mouths and watched in anxiety because they knew what consequences there would be if Sky Sword lost. They didn't even dare to think about it.
Furthermore, not many knew that this man who had concealed himself in full black and even members of the Sky Sword didn't meet him before. Who exactly is this man? Why is he here to represent the Sky Sword?
Such thoughts flashed in their minds.
Except for Rhode.
