At the Luxury Viewing Box occupied by Baron Whale, Baron Canestane, and Baron Rivelle, the three of them sat in surprise as they discussed among themselves. Their wives and children were also present, each of them equally astonished.
As for why they were surprised, well, the answer was simple; Finch.
Every single one of them had thought that Finch would be eliminated this round. They weren't looking down on him; it was simply the most logical conclusion. Even Finch's parents had believed the same, after all, they knew exactly how strong their own son was. Only Rachael had remained innocent enough to believe in her brother without the slightest doubt.
They had watched him barely keep up with a Rank 5 Shadow Assassin. No, "keep up" was being generous. He had been completely dominated throughout the battle, only for him to suddenly pull out a summoning ability from nowhere at the very end and proceed to dominate the entire second round.
