The Author's POV

What followed after Ava's match was a string of other matches.

As it was still not my turn, I sat back down in the stands and just enjoyed the matches. Since some of them could be my future opponents, I didn't want to miss a single detail regarding their fighting style.

Sat next to me was Amanda who was also focused on the other matches.

Matches aside, glancing around I could see no sign of the others apart from Jin who was sitting a few rows away from us. But it was to be expected. Ava was done with her match and so she rightfully decided to go back and rest whilst Kevin was about to have his match next.

Regarding Melissa...yeah...nothing else needed to be said.

On that note, turning my wrist and gazing at my watch, I also started to get ready for Kevin's upcoming match.

The moment that Kevin and Aaron would appear on the screen would be the time I reactivated the device.

After talking with Kevin last time I had a nagging feeling that he was about to do something to Aaron.

The extent of his action, I really didn't know. Maybe he would even go as far as killing him, but, well, considering the fact that people did not change overnight, I had my doubts regarding this possibility.

Either way, it didn't really matter.

I was ready for whatever the outcome of his match was.

"Oh, right, you were talking about your mother previously, what was that about?"

Thinking about Kevin's match, it was then that I suddenly remembered the previous conversation I was having with Amanda and turned to face her.

Upon hearing my words, Amanda focused her attention back on me.

Then, gazing in a certain direction, she leaned forward and softly mumbled near my ear.

"...I will tell you after today's matches end. Now is not the right place to say."

"Okay."

I nodded my head.

Amanda's words made sense. Considering that the topic at hand was something very personal, I understood that she may have been uncomfortable talking about it in this type of environment.

I was just happy that she was willing to share something like this.

It meant that she trusted me, right?

Maybe?

'Ugh, well whatever, I should focus on the matches at the end.'

And it was right at that moment when the intensity of the crowd's cheer increased marking the end of another match.

"It's Kevin's turn." Amanda suddenly said from the side as she directed her attention towards one of the platforms in the distance.
