"Was that all?" he protested, deactivating his invisibility with an irritated gesture. "I didn't even have time to do anything spectacular! Why did Han surrender so quickly?"

Taro observed Ren curiously. "It seemed like you were waiting for something to happen," he commented.
Ren simply denied it with a vague gesture, without elaborating.
The following matches proceeded without significant surprises. A team from group A defeated another from group C in a relatively balanced battle. Then, a team from group D defeated another from group A in a combat that extended almost twenty minutes.
And finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived.
"Team Larissa versus Team Klein," announced Lin, provoking a wave of anticipatory murmurs in the stands. "Prepare to enter the arena."
