"What? Ash Veil was defeated in a single blow!?"
"Such an embarrassment!"
"Is that halfblood really that strong?"
"No, that idiot Ash simply underestimated his opponent!"
"Really? Senior Drifting Snow, you're also at Stage 5. Why don't you go teach him a lesson?"
"Well… I…"
Before the man could finish his response, the arena projection shifted and displayed another duel preparing to begin.
"So he accepted more than one challenge. Who is it this time?"
"That's Senior Spear Current" another spectator said with confidence. "He's a veteran military colonel. He won't make careless mistakes like Ash Veil."
Several grand magus leaned closer to watch the arena projection, their interest clearly growing.
However, the excitement did not last long.
The duel had barely reached a dozen exchanges before the outcome became obvious. Emery quickly seized the upper hand, overwhelming Spear Current's defense before finishing the match with a decisive strike.
Another victory.
