Meanwhile, while they fix the stage, Vlad found himself spending quality time with the prisoner of the hour. 

He was sitting on a wooden chair reading a book, there's also an ashtray by the leg of the chair. 

Jiro, on the other hand, remained locked in a glass cell that appears to hold only the most dangerous animals in the world.

"You really think you can hold me in here?" Jiro asked while still being constrained by the steel chains wrapped around his ankles. He seemed to have more freedom than during his interrogation, but that collar still remained tight on his neck.

"Shut up kid." Vlad said.

"I could break out of here right now..." Jiro said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep it to yourself, I'm trying to read..."

"You think these shackles can hold me, you should know better..."

"Listen kid, you can keep doing this but just do it in your head, I'm not here to amuse you."

"Ky..." Jiro said before being cut short by an electrical shock from the chains and collar around him.

"Don't you learn kid... that's the third time you tried that..."

The new stage was installed as the old one was nothing short of unusable.

"What a wonderful match by those two lovely ladies from Class B, am I right?!?!" The announcer said, which received quite the confirmation from the harmonious crowd.

"You both did great." Jerome said as Sofia and Vivian walked into the dugout together.

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, if you put on a show like that, I'm sure more than enough agents will be interested in working with you." Jerome said.

"Now that the stage is fixed, whaddya say we see who's gonna be in our next match!!!" The announcer said.

"Yeah!!!!" The crowd shouted in anticipation for the next match.

"Asami Kowal from Class B!!" The announcer shouted.

"Kowal??" A person in the crowd asked before turning it into a conversation within the stadium.

"You think she's related to Nikolai, the 4th Division Captain?"

"No way, you think a Man like him can actually take care of a kid..."

"Asami is in fact the daughter of Nikolai Kowal, the 4th Division Captain!!" The announcer said.

"WHAT?!?!?!" The crowd shouted in mere shock.

"And she'll be going against Reed Ramirez from Class B!!!" The announcer said.

"I'll win this..." Reed said as he exited the dugout.
