The first match between Wilton and Central Academy had ended, and the result was clear. Liam's victory reverberated throughout the arena. For Lee Roy, sitting among the crowd, relief washed over him. Liam winning had taken some of the sting out of his own earlier defeat. At least now, people would whisper, maybe Lee Roy would have beaten George too, if he'd faced him instead.
And who knew? Perhaps he had simply drawn the short straw, ending up against the strongest fighter in the entire event. Still, the tournament wasn't over. One more match remained, and if Central Academy managed to win it, the crowd would be treated to a final clash, a deciding battle that would determine everything.
