Confusion

The instructor saw this so he dissipated the barrier he erected for the fight and immediately declared Cygnus as the winner of the battle. He then instructed the man to remove the ice crystal which he reluctantly did. He was a bit disappointed because he couldn't end the fight for real.

The woman gasped for breath the moment that ice crystal shattered. Her friends ran to her side and checked if she was alright. She coughed and wheezed then she took deep breaths until her breathing returned to normal.

The apprentices looked at Cygnus and decided to avoid him at all costs. Even Lilia, who was supported by the other girls, went away without any words. The master smiled before he returned to the bench where he was lying and continued with his rest.

In a dark room where all the lecture and training rooms were monitored, Celes stood with a tall man who had graying hairs but a well-built physique. His deep-set eyes and amber eyes were focused on the fight that just happened.
