Hearing her reply, Jose paled.
'She… she wants to fight me…? I'm screwed.'
His palms turned sweaty, and he immediately made a decision that shocked everyone.
Without even climbing down to the stage to face her, he bowed and shouted.
"I surrender!"
Gasps rang out from the students, shocked by his choice.
Hazel turned to him sharply, her eyes blazing with anger. She wanted to scold him, but no words came.
In the end, she just sighed and lowered her head, massaging her temples to relax.
'Thyla isn't all brawn, I guess. Even though she's probably exhausted, she successfully intimidated him into surrendering. Now we've lost one point.'
The gap between Class-E and Class-D was reducing.
Instructor Natalie happily announced Thyla as the winner again, congratulating her for winning twice in a row.
The girl simply shrugged, then dragged herself to the infirmary.
The moment she was out of sight, she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
