"T-The winner is Jack!" Old Man Manor's voice boomed throughout the facility as he snapped out of his initial shock. A strange grin tugged at his lips, like someone who was secretly enjoying the brutality of the duel.
Class B students erupted with cheers for Jack, while Class A students rushed into the ring to carry Genpo out.
'As expected of Jack. He actually learned from that mistake. If only he wasn't such an asshole,' Dapper thought just as the machine flickered again, matching two new opponents. Once more, the Combat Class claimed victory. Then the third duel started and yet again, Class B took the win.
Old Man Manor no longer looked as excited as he did earlier. Instead, a shadow of concern began to settle on his face.
