No unnecessary emotions or movements, absolute composure, and as a result, the duel ends as quickly as it began. Gideon clearly learned his lesson from last time, demonstrating remarkable restraint and not succumbing to panic. If anything, he simply confirmed Nirianna's position with his easy victory. It's a shame that he couldn't put on a decent show for the gathered spectators, but Gideon is certainly not to blame. The fatigue from previous battles likely played a role, as someone had warned her. Perhaps it was also overconfidence and a lack of skill. He could only blame himself, but even this result was very good – second place in the tournament, which is a definite improvement over his previous performance. There was also progress for Gideon, who took first place, and one could only be happy for him. He seemed to have matured before our eyes, although after all the events he had experienced, it was not surprising.
— Congratulations on your victory,” Leyla said, rising from the ground and smiling.
