Anger.

The moment Alec stepped out of the halls and spotted the battle ring, he stood frozen for a second, horrified by the scene unfolding before him.

Before his eyes, Sophia was being manhandled by Steele, who gripped her collar tightly while unleashing a relentless barrage of wind-fist punches aimed straight at her face.

No matter how desperately she attempted to utter the words “I give up,” they were battered back into silence by Steele’s merciless onslaught.

With every punch, she struggled to voice her surrender, yet the referee remained passive, ignoring the fact that Sophia could no longer defend herself.

Frustrated and furious, Alec began to stride toward the War God Academy team stand, his anger boiling over.

His approach brought a glimmer of hope to the anxious War God Academy team, but witnessing the innocent Sophia being pummelled while the culprit laughed with glee only fuelled their rage further.
