Rui and Kane had already arrived at the sparring facility at the reporting time and had signed the attendance register. Now they simply waited for their friends and scheduled matches to arrive.
Rui glanced at the scoreboard.
There were twelve people tied for rank one. These Martial Apprentices were consisted of the eleven that Rui was scheduled to fight across the span of eleven days as well as himself counting for the twelfth contestants.
Rui glanced around the facility, he could feel attention on Kane and himself. And it wasn't just because of his black features or Kane's status. The two of them both had sixty-seven wins and no losses. Everyone paid extra attention to all those who tied for rank one.
Rui's eyes skimmed through the rankings, taking note of how everyone else performed.
"Oh...?" He murmured.
"Hm?" Kane glanced at him.
"Gale's at rank number nine." Rui said. "Impressive."
"Well, he's strong." Kane said. "Even if we did beat him up easily."
He had had fifty-three wins and fourteen losses, meaning he only lost to two people outside of the top eleven tied for rank one. Outside of the top eleven, it could be said that he was very close to the next best.
"Dalen's at rank fifteen." Kane noted. "That's not bad at all either."
"As far as pure defensive prowess goes, he should be in the top three." Rui agreed.
