"The Joint Class Ends."
Instructor Darius's voice echoed throughout the arena, signaling the conclusion of the event.
The final tally stood at two wins, three draws, and the rest losses for the first years.
Even though they lost, the first-year students held their heads high, having fought bravely against their more experienced seniors. The sense of camaraderie and determination was palpable as they gathered their belongings and prepared to leave the arena.
But they were stopped by another announcement from the instructor.
"The Principal would like to address everyone before we conclude," Instructor Darius announced, his voice commanding immediate attention.
The students, both first and second years, turned their focus to the center of the arena where Principal Arwen, an imposing figure with an air of authority, was making his way. His presence alone demanded respect and silence fell over the arena as he approached the podium.
