The battle unfolded in a direction that not a single person had expected it to, especially to those partaking in the battle.
Squire Isin Keelia and her Whispering Winter Style.
Squire Draxel and his Hurricane Shredder Style.
Squire Varay Meenia and his Breathing Marionette Style.
Each of them had expected to face the other two in the end for the title of the Seonmun Champion.
That was why they were shocked when they realized that they were not the prime candidates for that title.
Once that moment of realization came, they made their decisions quickly.
They circled around Rui, drawing in close towards him to finish him off quickly with a numeric advantage.
It was humiliating, yes, but there was too much at stake for each of them. Unlike Rui, they had been eying the Virodhabhasa Martial Contest for a lot longer than just a year. They had even participated multiple times before.
Although they despised the fact that they had to employ the same cowardly strategy that had been employed against them, it couldn't be helped.
Even as they surrounded Rui, their expressions were ashen.
And yet, their opponent did not seem displeased in the slightest. Not only was he not displeased, they could even pick up hints of ecstasy. They couldn't help but frown when they saw him grin.
His mouth opened, and a single word escaped it.
"Hypocrites."
