Hever collapsed to a knee near the corner of the court. To everyone but Rui, Hever's defeat was certain.

He intercepted Nel's attack, and fell back as he got up to his feet, using that momentum to throw Nel flying behind him. This was a launching maneuver that could only be performed starting from one knee.
