With the winners displayed on the floating boards around the arena, the crowd roared to life.
'It's over...'
Kai stood among the dust and cracked platforms, the adrenaline still coursing through his veins.
He looked at his surroundings while his chest rose and fell with each heavy breath.
He made an effort to look at the winners on the board, and, of course, his team passed the first round.
"We made it!" Kai yelled, looking at Willam and Naia with joy.
Several other teams let out sighs of relief. Many of them falling to the ground.
The fight didn't even last ten minutes, and the arena had emptied to a solid thirty people.
As the noise settled, the booming voice of the Headmaster echoed through the courtyard.
