Well… Truth be told, the bell challenge ended quite unexpectedly.
I was prepared for it to go on until the time limit was up and Sebastian let himself get caught, but either Mary thought that we had reached a sufficient enough level or for some other reason, she let the bell get taken from her.
Oh make no mistake, I'm pretty sure if she really wanted to protect the bell, we would definitely not be able to take it from her even with that tactic. I'd bet if I were to even try to reach for the bell while she was hugging me, she'd be able to stop me without even seeing my hand.
I expected us to go right back to training again but we were given a few days of free time as a reward for completing it ahead of the expected time.
In case you were wondering, that was not the prize granted from obtaining the bell and yes, Katsuki did end up giving the bell to me anyway so it was counted as my win.
