As Julia collapsed to the ground, the amphitheater fell into a stunned silence. The spectators, who had been on the edge of their seats throughout the duel, now looked at the arena with wide eyes and open mouths.

"Yeah, the way he used the 「Realm of Dreams」... It's incredible. At this age, other heirs couldn't even deploy that, let alone in the middle of a fight."
"And his tactics, so precise. Every move had a purpose."
