South Dakota's fencing team was a heavy favorite to win this team fencing competition because their best fencer, Mikael, chose to compete in the sphere as a team rather than competing solo because he didn't see worth in the solo competition. In addition, they had other generational fencing talent and some so physically talented that colleges focused on various sports competed for them.
So when the North Dakota team surprised the New York team, Riley, the New York team leader, recognized the threat and immediately reacted.
He confidently swung his sword at the leader, leading the rest of his team in a coordinated response.
The battle between them unfolded in a chaotic frenzy, with swordsmen on both sides demonstrating their skill and prowess. The blows between them were swift, and each of them was looking for an opening in their opponent. However, the attention of the entire stadium and the cameras were not on their fights, but on Klaus' frantic struggle.
