Chapter 534: You Gave Her a 10??

The referee, who had been stealing glances at him since the match began, understanding exactly who held the most authority in that arena, immediately picked up on the shift in mood. Arthur didn’t need to raise his voice or gesture. His silence alone was sharp enough.

The referee straightened up, then stepped forward with a firmer tone.

"Student Kai. Is there a problem?" he asked, his voice cutting through the air like a blade.

Kai flinched. The haze of irritation and disbelief faded from his face. He turned quickly to the referee, bowing slightly in apology.

"N-No, sir. It’s just that—"

"Then begin," the referee interrupted, not the least bit interested in excuses. His eyes flicked briefly toward Arthur before returning to the arena.

Kai’s jaw tensed. His pride stung, both from Nnenna’s blunt dismissal and now from being publicly shut down. Embarrassed and now eager to reclaim the spotlight, he took a step back and assumed a ready stance.

But he didn’t bow.

He looked straight at Nnenna as if she were beneath that courtesy, an insect that happened to wander into a ring meant for giants.

The crowd murmured at the disrespect.

"He did not bow...?"

"Rude. Even if you think she’s weak, it’s still a match."

"Bro’s ego is wounded, that’s what this is."

Nnenna simply stood, face unreadable. If he wouldn’t bother with the formalities, she wouldn’t either. She adjusted her footing, centered, balanced, calm.

From the judge’s seat, Arthur’s expression remained unchanged. But he tilted his head slightly, fingers drumming once on the armrest. The arena’s tension seemed to stretch tighter at that subtle shift.

A deep, charged silence fell.

The fight was about to begin. And this time, it was personal.

The referee gave a sharp nod.

"Begin!"

Kai launched forward immediately, aiming to end things with one solid, fast strike. He moved with the speed and confidence of someone used to winning.

But Nnenna didn’t flinch.

She stepped aside at the last second, so swiftly and smoothly it looked like he had missed on purpose.

Kai stumbled, confused.

She turned.

Then struck.

One clean, fluid move, her palm connected with his side just below his ribs. A sharp gasp escaped him as he lost his footing entirely and hit the ground hard. Flat on his back. Disarmed, disoriented, and defeated... in under thirty seconds.
