"So who's winning?"
Zephyr's voice emerged slowly, as though the question had to travel through layers of awe before reaching his tongue.
The battle unfolding before him had captured everyone watching—students and kings alike, their attention fixed on the ruin where two figures had become indistinguishable from violence. Zephyr could barely track their movements anymore. This stillness, this absence of motion from either side, felt like the end of a round rather than a pause.
Mesmerized, he could only articulate that single question.
"Khan is winning," Sam answered.
"Kenshin hasn't used Heavenly Restriction yet," Virelle said.
"I don't think he will today," Rhaegar added.
"Then will he use that?" Aelric asked.
"I don't know." Rhaegar smiled at his own attempt at wordplay. "But I don't think so. It's too destructive."
The class caught the joke and smiled.
