They had not expected to see a death so early, but this was part of the tournament. It was not against the rules. This was to find the best of the best and reward them, of course holding back would limit that. Death was inevitable.
However, there was also the aura of rage from many. People had journeyed from the celestial sea academy, islands, and waters to see these battles. Now they had seen one of their own people defeated here and now. They were even defeated as if it was nothing.
"I will slaughter you!" The most enraged scream came from the last boy waiting for his turn to make a come back with his now deceased team member. The celestial sea student was enraged, it was clear by this uncontrolled energy and the fact that he was already rushing on to the area to face Jerold.
