Surprise attack

The words hung in the air, carrying an unspoken lesson. 

Those in the audience who had witnessed the previous match—the twists, the surprises, and the unexpected victor—paused to consider the announcer's point. 

The wise ones, the more seasoned spectators, exchanged knowing glances. 

They immediately understood what the announcer was trying to convey: appearances could be deceiving, and battles were not won by looks alone.

Ethan might seem superior now, but so had others before. 

And Gon, standing firm despite the overwhelming odds, might just have something hidden up his sleeve.

After all, fights weren't just about strength or size. They depended on many things—skill, character, cleverness, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. 

A sharp mind could turn the tide of battle as easily as a sharp blade.

Gon kept this thought close as he focused on the rhythm of his breathing.
