"Tilda!" Deo and Rake shouted and sprang to their feet. Both were shocked as the momentum of Ganza's attack forced Tilda near the arena's edge.
Even the audience who were interested in watching the Alchemy Competition only was shocked at the sudden commotion and was surprised at the scene. It seemed the Solo Competition would have interesting matches today!
Tilda fell to her knees, slamming the head of her axe on the floor and using it to support her weight.
"Gah!" She spat another mouthful of blood and touched her chest where the flaming spear went through before dissipating in the air behind. She winced after feeling a one-and-a-half-centimeter-scorching hole close to her heart.
"Hmm... That attack is supposed to force you out of the arena," Ganza said loud enough for the Styx and the others on the bench could hear. "I guess I miscalculated. This arena is larger than the previous one."
