What Was Losing Again?

Alm and Bruno watched their two disciples exchange penetrating glances with slight smiles on their faces. 'Ruri has always been competitive, but Corin has never shown this side of him so strongly,' Bruno reflected mentally.

'The century they spent together amidst war awakened competition in them. They had to find motivation to hone themselves, everything they could do to encourage each other was used,' Alm responded calmly before analyzing seriously. 'But currently, Corin is acting... as if he's trying to show us something.'

The two in the arena moved to the center and stood facing each other a few meters apart. Everyone in the stands chattered excitedly, placing bets and giving their opinions about the two. Ruri had already demonstrated being on an abnormal level, but Corin had shown little in this competition; his victories were simply overwhelming. Soon, some said she would win quickly, while others claimed that 'elf' hid many cards.
