It was lukewarm.
Most of them had forfeited, and victory had come so easily it almost felt inevitable.
Hakari didn't like that kind of flow at all.
He wanted something more dramatic.
Something more reckless. A collision with real stakes.
But that wasn't how things had turned out.
His classmate Hoshi understood him, but he wasn't suited for this kind of fight.
He was, in effect, a card meant for the team battle.
Okkotsu had ended things too quickly for there to be any chance to use him, but Hakari had let it go.
Hoshi himself didn't seem dissatisfied, either.
The problem was the individual matches.
Even Todo, reckless as he was, had forfeited, and that made the whole thing feel flat.
Still, Hakari wasn't enough of a degenerate to start picking fights with his own allies.
He was just irritated by how boring it had all been.
