After the official left, the referee took the center stage and told the two schools to bring their vanguards to the ring.
Adalric rose to the ring from Kurogami High's side, and Dominic, with his heart beating against his chest, followed his lead and went straight to his corner.
This stage was something every young man and woman who aspired to become a martial artist dreamt of.
Fighting in front of the whole nation.
'This is the stage that I've heard about all my life…'
Dominic looked towards the ceiling of the stadium, and cascading lights greeted him as they fell on his face.
It felt like he was the main character of the world.
…
Irio, Raze household.
"It is Dominic!"
A little sister of the family screamed in ecstasy as she was sitting on the floor, staring straight at the box television with round, sparkling eyes.
The family members and close relatives filled the living room, watching the nationals with anticipation.
