The battle ended in a draw, with Hugo collapsing on the battling arena, fainting for a moment with soldiers rushing over to discuss... However, he was quickly diagnosed by medics as physically unharmed, just mentally overexerted. He would recover after a short rest. Upon hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, through the god-view display on the big screen, everyone found some astonishing news: at the very end, it was shown that Hugo's hand was on the escape button. This meant that Hugo intentionally chose to escape during his final attack, but he didn't even have the strength to activate the escape button.
How exhausted must he be? Using this as a reason, Hugo was decided to be the victor, results that were accepted by all. Spectators around the military base agreed that the verdict was spot on, impressive, and perfect. Hugo was unanimously applauded for his indomitable spirit.
