The next day.
Everyone in Cloudmoon City was talking about what had happened the night before.
But no matter who they were, they could only remember the Black Hole that had swallowed all color. They had completely lost their memories of the being who had unleashed it.
Countless Association members had been killed or wounded in that attack.
Quite a few people secretly found this immensely satisfying.
After all, the Trial-taker Association's infamy was known to everyone.
They did not possess the very highest combat power, but they were the most loathsome presence in these Moon Core Level Trial Grounds.
After all, no matter how powerful someone was, as long as they refused to pay, they would be harassed again and again.
Caught in that vicious cycle, even reaching six consecutive wins was extremely difficult.
Many had lost their fights because they refused to pay and were deliberately worn down by people sent by the Association.
But the Association members were not stupid, either.
Whenever a Train Conductor appeared, or a powerful being from another world entered the Arena after picking up a ticket.
Once they discovered they could not affect that person through attrition, they would give up and lie low until that person completed their Trial, then come back out to throw their weight around.
So, deep down, many people wished another Black Hole or two would appear and annihilate every last Association member. Now that would be truly satisfying!
Still, these people did not hold out much hope.
As long as the Association's president, Jialebi, remained in this world, nothing would change.
"Absurd! It's bad enough that the surveillance cameras didn't record any footage! But not a single one of you remembers what actually happened?!"
