Lancaster's excitement was palpable as he gestured broadly toward Platform One, where the dust was already settling. "In what must be a tournament record, Ambrose Rothschild's team has secured victory in under two minutes! Sun Hualing's combat prowess has left spectators speechless and the Shadowclaw team completely overwhelmed!"
