"Cadet Kehinde Ibeji has eliminated the target but perished in the process in 6 minutes 48 seconds, Draw,"
The intercom announced.
"Next round starts in 2 minutes "
The observation deck fell silent.
"Did you see that?! Prince Kehinde took out the target!!!"
One cadet exclaimed, breaking the silence.
The room was abuzz with excitement and hope. Hope that they too could achieve such feats of bravery and skill.
However, amidst the commotion, Taiwo collapsed to the floor, coughing up more blood. Chronos, Dashavatara, and Azure rushed over to her, concerned.
"Taiwo, are you alright?"
Chronos asked with worry etched on his face.
"I'm fine," Taiwo said weakly, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I just need to rest."
"What about your challenge attempt?" Azure asked.
Taiwo nodded weakly.
"I think I'm content being on the sidelines supporting Kehinde."
Chronos nodded, understanding that it wouldn't be wise to have both the twins compete against the Machinians in 1v1 duels.
