"Impressive," Colonel Skai's voice echoed through the arena. "Your understanding of the dragon node is truly remarkable, Kai." The colonel's praise was met with a mix of awe and jealousy from the recruits. Kai's teammates rushed to congratulate him, slapping him on the back and offering words of encouragement.
"You're unstoppable," Rerna whispered, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Kai couldn't help but feel a swell of pride. "We're all getting stronger," he said, trying to deflect the attention.
The battles raged on, each recruit pushing their limits. As the tournament progressed, the intensity grew. The remaining matches were filled with suspense and excitement as the recruits' unique abilities clashed in spectacular displays of power.
