Leon's POV
Two participants were declared winners and would move on to the Quarter Finals. Zeruel, however, had been disqualified for using her ability, which left me as one of the victors alongside another participant.
The crowd's murmur of surprise still lingered in the air as I left the arena, my body buzzing from the fight against Zeruel.
When I returned to my girlfriends, who had eagerly watched the match from the stands, their faces lit up with excitement.
"That was incredible, Leon! The way you blocked all of Zeruel's attacks—it was amazing! And seeing her ability? I didn't expect that at all! You both fought so well!" Titania exclaimed, practically bouncing on her heels. Her eyes gleamed, wide with admiration.
"Nia's totally right! I've never seen you look so serious before, Leon!" Trill chimed in, her voice softening as she leaned closer. "You're making me fall in love with you all over again… seriously!" Her tone dripped with affection, a sly grin tugging at her lips.
