"ELDER ANSEL!"
"ANSEL!"
Because it was one of the last battles—one where they had most to lose—everyone did their best from the get-go, and this was why so many fights concluded within a few minutes of the aegis crumbling.

"This one's an Elder, right?" he said, mocking his rival, who had yet to even touch one. "I got one."
He was about to tighten his hold on the redhead's face when—
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
