Meanwhile, Dmitri Grant had been standing there the entire time with his brows furrowed so hard it looked like they were about to file for separation.
His eyes slowly shifted—
from the ring…
to the troublemaker…
then to the rest of the students...
who were all listening intently to her commentary.
Dmitri dragged a hand down his face like a man reconsidering every life decision that led him to this moment.
'Is this student seriously commentating right now?' he thought. 'This is a graded performance, not a live broadcast!'
Behind him, someone whistled.
"Yooow, Dmitri!"
Of course.
Nueve Nieves.
The human equivalent of unnecessary noise.
He strolled up like he owned the place, hands in his pockets, grinning like he just came for entertainment and snacks.
"So?" Nueve said, glancing at the ring before immediately getting distracted by the far more interesting spectacle happening outside it. "Anyone catch your attention?"
Dmitri didn't answer immediately.
