The crowd continued cheering for Ezra while the repair of the fight platform went on.
The cheers rolled through the Arena in waves, with Ezra's name still being shouted from different sections even though the match had already ended. Some spectators were still discussing the final exchange between him and Desmond, while others watched the damaged platform being restored, clearly unwilling to let their attention leave the place where such an intense battle had just taken place.
The Craft-based Royal Academy staff worked quickly.
Several Alchemists stepped onto the damaged platform and began using Earth Alchemy to restore the stones that had been broken by the heavy explosions, punches, kicks, and the repeated impacts caused by the two Young Alchemists' Cognis-enhanced movements.
Cracks that had spread across the floor slowly closed.
Broken stones rose from the ground and returned to their original positions.
