"The winner is..."
I opened my eyes to see the referee with his arm raised, announcing the winner of the bout.
"...Leon Ellert of the Nurs Ancifa Empire!"
The Colosseum was quiet upon the announcement of the winner, all eyes locked on the fallen Aoife and then the heavily breathing Leon.
Then...
Booom—
The entire Colosseum erupted, cheers and waves of applause resounding throughout.
I basked in such an atmosphere for several seconds before collecting myself again. Turning my head, I noticed that Kaelion was looking at me strangely.
"What is wrong?"
"...."
He didn't answer immediately, furrowing slightly as his eyes traced the side of my face. I instinctively touched my face and that was when I felt something wet trace down my right cheek.
"Ah."
I finally realized why he was looking at me like that.
"....It's a side-effect of using my domain."
"Right."
