The announcer, brimming with enthusiasm, leaned into his microphone, his voice echoing through the arena with an almost palpable energy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what an absolutely phenomenal display of skill, strategy, and sheer determination! Cruzer has once again shown us why he's one of the most formidable competitors in this tournament! Let's give him another round of applause!"
The crowd obliged with a thunderous roar, their cheers and applause echoing like a storm in the massive stadium. Cruzer, walking toward the exit, gave a subtle nod to the audience, his expression calm but appreciative. He paused for a moment, turning to glance back at Felix, who was being assisted off the battlefield by medics. Their eyes met briefly, and Cruzer raised his hand in a small, respectful gesture. Felix, despite his exhaustion, managed a faint smile and nodded in return.
