Untamed Desperation

'I knew it! I knew you wouldn't let me down!'

Ash was practically jumping with joy as he watched the fight conclude with Seth's victory.

Per basic rules of a duel, the first to fall to the ground or leave a designated area, or surrender, would be considered the loser. Since there were no specific rules to the contrary, it was clear to everyone who had won the fight.

'It started out pretty rough, but I should have trusted you, Seth.' Ash walked forward. 'You really proved to everyone why you're the protagonist.'

Once he reached the area of the fight—a place now partially destroyed mostly due to Kellion's reckless bursts of energy—he stood a step behind Seth and hid his proud smile.

"Seth wins according to Basic Duel Rules." 

He declared, looking at the disoriented Kellion who was now rising to his feet.
