Just as Declan's arms were about to reach Callius' heart, suddenly, a gust of wind blew inside the arena.
THUD THUD
Followed by the voice of two things hitting the ground.
"Hmm?"
Declan was surprised as he felt something was amiss. Then the reality soon came.
His hands that were supposed to be piercing Callius' heart were no longer connected to his arms.
SPURT
As the sound of liquid gushing out of a wound was heard, the pain connected to his nerves.
"AAAAAAAH!"
And then, a shout filled with anguish reached the audience.
At that moment, everyone was surprised to see the events unfolding. The barriers of the arena had yet to be lifted, but someone had just appeared inside.
There, standing in the center of the arena, was a woman with long blonde hair and glowing blue eyes - Seraphina Riftwind, the Vice-Headmaster of the Academy.
"Good grief… You sure are troublesome…."
