End of the Summit [4]

Though quiet, Aoife's voice resounded deeply throughout the hall as all eyes fell on me. I stood by the front of the hall, alongside Leon as his expression didn't show any changes. 

That said... 

I knew he was pissed. 

'He's so mad.' 

The thought made me happy. 

Aoife wasn't done yet. Opening the letter she took out another piece of paper that was wedged into the letter. 

"For those that have objections, here's an official statement by the referee." 

She went on to read, 

"Though both Leon and Julien's power was extraordinary, and I felt the need to intervene given the strength and nature of the contestants, it was Leon who ended up injuring me, leaving a long slash across my arm."

"...?" 

"What?" 

"Doesn't that mean...?" 

There was confusion in the hall as Aoife read the letter. 

However, the confusion was merely momentary as Aoife continued.
