Nolan walked slowly from the back of the arena, the roar of the cheering crowd still echoing behind me. I took a seat where I could still see the stage clearly.
Celia and Linda immediately rushed toward me.
"Master, your match was outstanding!" Celia said, her eyes glowing with excitement.
"Yes, Master! You were amazing!" Linda added, smiling brightly.
Nolan gave them a small, calm smile. "Thank you. I'm glad you both enjoyed it."
"I'm going to try to look just as amazing in my fight," Celia said proudly.
"Same here," Linda added confidently.
"Well," Nolan said, "I believe in both of you. Give it everything you've got."

"Wow," Tharion said. "That was an incredible fight."
"Yeah, thank you," Nolan replied quietly.
Tharion crossed his arms. "Let me get straight to the point—who are you, really?"
