The match, against all expectations, had ended. Louise, once the clear favourite, had been soundly defeated.

"WHAT?! How did…?" Kang's voice sputtered, filled with shock and disbelief. "Louise was dominating! He had that boy cornered, but somehow…"

Gerrard, his expression excited and deep thought, cut him off. "It was unfortunate,"

Gerrard shrugged, his gaze never leaving the arena floor, where the medical team tended to Louise.

"It was a battle for the history books, the best I've witnessed at this level in a long time."

Kang slumped into his seat, the fight's unexpected outcome weighing heavily upon him.

He was fiercely proud of his son's skill and determination, but the image of Louise being carried off the platform on a stretcher gnawed at him. "That fight," he murmured, "it was extraordinary."
