The crowd holds its breath as the battle between Kov and Hara begins. Their movements are sharp and precise, each combatant embodying the unique strengths of their mentors. Kov, muscular and solid, lunges forward with relentless power, while Hara, smaller and quick as lightning, sidesteps his strikes, her movements like water flowing around stone.
Kov lands a glancing blow to her shoulder, and the force of it drives her back, but she recovers swiftly. Aware of her speed, he adapts, using his larger frame to cut off her routes of escape. It becomes a fierce dance, with Kov pressing in, Hara evading, and the crowd erupting with cheers at every close strike.
Azure watches from above, his gaze fixed, absorbing every detail. "Nexus," he murmurs, "do you think this war will drag on a few more days?"
