The announcer's voice had barely finished echoing when Cassian stepped fully onto the arena platform, the gold-trimmed white of his First Celestial uniform shifting in the wind like the mantle of a monarch. Kain watched him with narrowed eyes, pulse steady but every nerve alert.
Kain's contracts were not in perfect condition after his fight with Isolde. And even worse, there was an even stronger opponent up next.
This brief pause was all they had to recover. Thankfully, with Chewy's abilities to replenish energy and Queen's healing abilities, their conditions were restored to as good as they could get.
Probably the only thing a little lacking with no method of restoration, was their mental strength. The last match against Isolde was also mentally draining. Trying to beat her with as little loss as possible meant that each contract was using their minds at 2 times the usual capacity.
'Maybe I should try and see if Bea can learn a skill that can restore mental strength'
