The night turned deep, and Kiernan was just lying on the sofa, looking at the video that had lasted over an hour already.
At that moment.
"In 287th place, Kiernan Hunter of New Rakuya. A winner of somewhat controversial nationals, where he happened to defeat Power Drug abuser in the final round!
"A truly deserved spot at the Junior Martial Arts Championship, and then we move to 288th place."
Kiernan looked at the screen and then slammed it shut as he was getting too tired to stay awake.
"287th… Quite far."
He thought, then closed his eyes, and without turning the lights off, he drifted to sleep.

Buzz~ Buzz~
A phone buzzed on the table beside him, and Kiernan jolted awake, looking annoyed as he turned to the phone.
"Who in the world…"
Kiernan took the phone and wondered whether it was his father and that he had forgotten the time zone difference, but then he remembered that the world operates in the same time zone.
World Clock time zone.
