'I mean, I expected him to be strong…but that wasn't just a matter of difference in strength, ' Raph thought, his gaze following Cricken Royce as he joined them back in line.
None of the students thought it wise to clap or cheer, or more like they were too frightened to do so.
His gaze flickered, returning to the Sparring Ring.
'It was the difference in experience….that much difference made him use the techniques adequately without wasting movements'.
A memory of the first duel between Lucy Zachary and Ban Xen played in his head, and then the duel between Felic Manhartten and Cricken Royce played next.
'There was the obvious difference.'
Ban showed no intention of fighting back, even though he had clearly mastered the guarding technique, so Lucy had the upper hand from the start.
Felic and Cricken on the other hand, started from scratch, and the result was simply a testament to the difference in their skills.
