Although it was expected, the tournament final turned out to be one of its most exciting parts. It would have been even more exciting if Leila herself had been among the finalists. In any case, two silent guys met in the arena, choosing the fruits of technological progress as their weapon. In one corner stood a proud and self-assured, if not somewhat conceited, representative of their class. A dark horse, whose success turned out to be quite unexpected for the timekeepers. In the other, a quiet and perhaps ominous figure, Elliot, a man of mystery. Such characters are often depicted as antagonists in various productions. For some time, the duelists circled, staring at each other. Tension hung in the air. Then, in one moment, a couple of shots rang out, but neither of them hit its target. The fight continued, and for some time, Gideon and Elliot continued to circle in the arena. And then... it seems that Gideon's nerves gave out. The young man threw his weapon, which he had used for most of the tournament, on the ground and replaced it with a much more compact pistol. And Elliot, who apparently maintained his composure, easily dodged the bullets fired in a fit of emotion and then ended the duel with a single accurate shot. A rather disappointing finale. One could only guess how things would have turned out if Gideon hadn't succumbed to his emotions. But it was hard to blame him – the guy had already shown himself to be better than many, reaching the final of this event.
