The meeting hall instantly fell silent.
Ragnarok99 gaped as if he thought he had misheard. "Huh?"
Gabriel gave no explanation. He simply repeated himself. "I am not participating."
"Why not?!" Ragnarok99 nearly jumped out of his chair. "Sir Broken, you must be joking! This kind of competition is made for the strong! If you don't go, then who will?"
"You will," Gabriel said.
Everyone paused again. Sniper Bow Legend frowned and cautiously asked, "You mean... you want us to represent New Dawn in the tournament?"
"Yes," Gabriel said flatly. "The tournament itself has no problem. The problem is the people watching it."
