Tonight, beneath the full moon visible through dense dark clouds and accompanied by distant thunder, Ichika engaged in some backstage warm-up. She jogged briefly, stretched her arms, and took a deep breath. This evening marked her inaugural match in this career, and she aimed to make a lasting impression on everyone, including her adversary. Examining her attire, Ichika looked down, meticulously ensuring that every detail of her stylish appearance remained flawless. "Hmmm... That's it, perfect!" she smiled to herself, concluding her admiration—or rather, inspection—of her outfit.
Approaching the arena entrance, all lights abruptly dimmed, shrouding the entire space in darkness. Then, multiple spotlights illuminated a focal point: a girl with blue hair and devil's wings standing prominently.
This grand entrance was meticulously planned by Ichika to assert that she was no ordinary newcomer. Coincidentally, as Ichika made her appearance before the audience, a loud clap of thunder resonated from outside, accompanied by a downpour. "Hehe, good timing," Ichika mused. She executed two forward somersaults in the air to showcase her gymnastic prowess and swiftly jogged to the ring. Performing a horse-vaulting jump, another display of her gymnastic skills, she vaulted into the ring and assumed her position in the corner. Patient yet nervous, Ichika awaited her first opponent with keen curiosity.
