As the ice wyvern crashes to the ground, unable to rise, the entire stadium erupts into a deafening roar.
Whistles echo through the arena.
Shouts of amazement fill the air.
Everyone is on their feet, their voices blending into a chorus of disbelief and awe.
No one could have imagined that this small, seemingly fragile fox girl could defeat an Ice Wyvern—and in less than five minutes!
But amidst the roaring crowd, Yumi moves slowly, her steps deliberate, as she walks toward the fallen beast. Her expression remains serene, untouched by the chaos around her. She pays no attention to the wild cheers, the gasps of astonishment. Her focus is solely on the wyvern, its massive body rising and falling with labored breaths, vulnerable and defeated.
Yumi kneels beside the creature, her eyes softening as she gazes at it.
"Sorry, big one," Yumi whispers, her voice tender and soothing. "Did that hurt a lot?"
