Toseko Joins the Betting

"So, my prediction was correct," Toseko chuckled. "Though, none of you did contest that theory…"

Shrugging, Peimar stated, "Again, it's about the semifinals, the final four. And as it stands, we'll each have someone there."

Toseko chuckled but said nothing. He kept to himself while waiting eagerly for the next matches. Now, there would only be strong candidates going head to head, providing the best experience for spectators. 

Warak, however, glanced at Treeda's usual calm expression. He was too curious to not ask, "How do you feel, Treeda? Technically, on paper, your prefecture has performed the best overall according to the bracket and the results of the duels. Do you feel that was luck or well deserved?"

Peimar and Isla watched her carefully, as did Toseko. They all wanted to know how Treeda would take such praise in the face of elite prefectures.
