Beast-binding Ascendant: The Undercover Lord Apex - Episode 3

At the state qualifiers, President Chey reviews entrants and debate erupts over Sylva Voss, a talented under 18 tamer with a poor background. Vault members deride her, but Sylva pleads for a chance. Chey orders Brael to spar her to prove herself. Determined to secure a State Race spot for her parents, Sylva sends out Rokkar, Piercerock. Early exchanges reveal Brael's Stoneguard is Tier 4 with an enhanced right arm, putting Sylva at a disadvantage. As Stoneguard strikes, someone shouts, 'Rokkar, dodge!'—the match freezes on Sylva's urgent decision.
