"The winner of the 10th duel is Jinx Shapewodd!" the professor announced.
The crowd exploded into loud cheers.
"Finally!" someone in the stands shouted.
"Now we get to see the real fight!"
"Yeah," another student agreed with a laugh.
"All those earlier ones were kind of weak compared to these guys."
The professor raised his voice again. "Now we move to the last two duels!"
"I already put my money on Lady Rosalina," a boy bragged.
"Easy win. No one can touch her level."
"Wait, are you forgetting Julius Augustus Hayes?" his friend asked, grinning.
The boy just waved his hand. "Nah. Julius has been following Rosalina around like a lost puppy for weeks. He won't be any trouble."
"Let's just watch and see," the friend said with a chuckle.
In the center of the arena, the professor spoke again.
"Time for the next duel! The participants are Rosalina Valentina and Alia Ruth!"
The moment he said their names, the whole crowd went wild, the loudest cheer so far.
