Waaaah!

The stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

Skada stepped out of the waiting room before the finals, making her way toward the main stage by circling through the audience seats.
There was no need for her to take the long way around, as the participants’ waiting room was located right behind the main stage. She could simply ascend to the stage when it was time.

But as Skada walked, the murmurs of the spectators pierced through the roaring cheers, reaching her ears.

“Did you hear? Since the start of the tournament, Whitedog has finally revealed themselves in reality. The internet has been going wild throughout the tournament because of it.”

“Yeah, I saw it too. Apparently, people from her area have seen her around occasionally.”

“So, that kid was living alone in a rundown neighborhood, struggling with her health? She’s with Kris now, but I heard she was alone back then.”
