"And Felix Dargon proves why he's the tournament's top contender!" roared Akari, though she was clearly less excited than when she had announced Fernan's victory.
"Barely sweating, he takes out Competitor Liora, who had an unreal run in this year's Arcana Primis Cup. It was unfortunate that the talented freshman's mana pool didn't hold up until the end, but her constant efforts to go for the win until the very last moment were truly admirable. I can't wait to see how she performs in next year's tournament."
Hal was slightly dejected by Liora's loss.
However, he couldn't deny that she had performed remarkably well despite being severely outmatched.
She simply hadn't had as much time to train as Felix. Otherwise, she might have had a more-than-decent chance of emerging victorious.
A few moments later, Liora stood up and descended the stage, her expression mostly unchanged.
She had known from the start that she would lose.
