"Match over! Kyle wins!"
Kyle didn't bother looking back at Marlon, who was panting heavily, his flame cat was barely able to lift its head.
Kyle had won without much effort, just as he had planned. He crossed his hands behind his back and gracefully walked out of the arena.
'One down, two to go.'
Kyle made his way back to his corner of the coliseum, observing the others that were still fighting.
The time between battles was short—his own beginning in 30 minutes.
It was just long enough for the contestants to recover slightly, but not long enough to fully regain their stamina or mana.
Like Dan said, this was was part of the challenge—a test of endurance.
He didn't allow himself to get complacent. The next opponent, Lila Vance, was another Beast Tamer, but with a water element.
He had seen her fight before, and she was by far stronger than many of the competition.
The board flashed his name again. It was time.
