"I cannot believe he won!"
"What the heck-! I thought that this was just an ordinary kid, but how did he win in such a short time? Was there a trick to his victory? Should we report him or something?"
"I don't think so. We should wait and see what the officials decide to do with him. Usually, for cheaters like that, there is a harsh punishment."
People chattered around Layla, wondering how she managed to win her first match. When she came back to the backroom, most looked at her in disbelief.
However, some people did not doubt her victory, and instead of being surprised that she won, they became cautious of her as a real competitor.
From then on, no one would try to go easy on Layla. But her senses could pick out how powerful most of this bunch was, and she was confident to say that not many people could pick on someone like her.
