Crises

The audience was split between cheers and disbelief as the second round of the semifinals came to an abrupt end, just like the first.

Maya strode confidently onto the stage, her trademark grin lighting up her face as she addressed the mic.

"What a one-sided match that was," she exclaimed, pausing for dramatic effect. "I thought the teams making it to the semifinals were supposed to be strong and capable. What a disappointing performance from Shadow Academy. Both rounds ended in less than ten minutes, leaving no chance for Team Shadow Academy to even counterattack properly."

Maya shook her head in disappointment, her eyes scanning the audience. Though she was thrilled with how well team Soreh Academy had performed, she couldn't help but wish that their opponents had put up more of a fight. It would have made for a more interesting match, after all.
