The Martial Unity

"Aaand we have a winner! Representative Ferlicia Ernand makes it to the second round after a spectacular victory against representative Askin Nodt! Onto our next fight. We have Representative Mia Marnt and her Echo Blast tyle representing ther Fellen branch. On the other hand, we have Representative Ana Mariane of the Hyulflum branch and her Belial Claw Style!"

The crowd cheered loudly as the two women walked into the arena, facing each other.

"Take your stances." The referee instructed.

Mia took a balanced stance, however her hands were positioned oddly close to her face. Rui wasn't entirely sure what to make of that.

He did, of course, recall some the bare basic information Fae had told him about her.

She wielded sound.

Rui wasn't sure what to make of that. But he had grown used to that feeling now. He had already long accepted that basically anything and everything could become a Martial Art in this world, that's just how things were.

Her opponent on the other hand was equally interesting. Fae and Kane didn't know much about her, but they said her Martial Art had something to do with wind.

That's right, wind. Rui had already given up on trying to understand.

Ana took a bizarre stance. She placed one foot ahead of the other and then placed her arms to her side with her palms facing the ground.

Rui shook his head. He genuinely had no idea what the fuck she was doing, but he assumed she did. He looked forward to seeing how both sides fought.

"Begin!" The supervisor commenced the fight.

Mia inhaled deeply, bring her hands to her mouth.
