"...Huh?"
The word slipped from my lips like a confused whisper as consciousness slowly returned to me. My mind felt foggy.
I found myself standing there, completely still, gripping a sword in my trembling hands. The blade was pointed straight ahead, aimed directly at... wait, was that Lucas?
Is he actually dead? Did I really just...?
What the hell happened to me?! The last thing I remember was the fight starting, and now...
[DING!]
The sharp sound made me jump. I looked down at my watch, the display glowing with an almost mocking brightness.
[Your opponent is now deemed incapacitated. You win.]
Really? That's it?
I lifted my head and scanned the area around me. The other students were still locked in their own battles, grunting and shouting as they clashed with their opponents. Their fights continued as if nothing had happened, as if I hadn't just... whatever I had done.
Strange. Shouldn't someone have noticed? Shouldn't there be some kind of reaction?
