Not Yet! [2]

Lying on the ground down-faced, Nsiria was regretting how she missed a golden opportunity—one that will never shine on her again, all while she kept cursing herself for messing this up.

Her heart was paining so much that she would've cried if she wasn't in public. Something was strange though, a few minutes had passed since she fell but the referee hasn't announced the end of the match.

Sensing this she turned her head and looked at the referee with confusion, when she did, she saw that the referee was staring back at her with the same confusion.

"Isn't it over?" she asked.

"Ah, so that's why you were still there," the referee mumbled to himself. "No, the match isn't over," he then said to Nsiria.

"Why?"

"Look there, your sword is still not touching the ground, so no," said the referee as he pointed toward Nsiria's hand.
