Renan stared at him with open disbelief. "You froze the ground."
Leslie shrugged, her short blue hair bouncing. "You make it sound so rude."
The Elementalists fanned out over the remains of the Spider Monkeys, claiming the beast cores, claws and other valuable loot while Renan and his group remained stuck in place, their faces hardening as the meaning of the move sank in.
As everyone knew, beast loot added a good enough chunk to the overall points. And by extension, to the Tributes.
Kallan crouched near one of the carcasses and plucked up the glowing red vest core with a satisfied look. "Tributes are Tributes," he said. "No reason to let them rot just because you were too slow to stop us."
Renan's jaw clenched. "You're stealing our loot after we killed the beasts?"
"You killed them," Kallan corrected. "We claimed them." He turned to him and smiled. "It's not against the rules. In fact, stuff like this is exactly what makes the Inter-Class Competitions fun isn't it?"
