Rather, I think he will announce the grand opening of the Trial Ground, permitting not only the Ranker who won in the tournament, but also some people of those Elite and Householder choosing, which news will be earthshaking because it has never been done before. It will also attest to "their chance of refusal to what Farnus will announce" and "their greed that Farnus predicted will serve him right".As for revealing Kevin as his apprentice, that would be a stupid move and he knew that too. He had been keeping quiet about already having an apprentice after all, and when Asher told him that he knew, he become even more protective, knowing that if others know, Kevin's pitiful life will be foregone.
Is the Farnus's 2nd announcement the information you foreshadowed that even Asher hasn't anticipated? If it is, then is this a totally new thing happening only in this timeline or just something that was supposed to happen a couple of years later? Also can you tell me if Asher's plan is going to be affected positively or negatively by this (I know this is spoilers territory, am just trying my luck)
