Liens's judgment of Ben was also based on his analysis of the situation on the field.
Ben's strength was indeed far superior to his opponent's; there was no surprise there.
There was no plot twist where a dark horse concealed his strength and then burst forth in the match, shocking everyone.
Even if such a situation were to occur, it would only happen to Liens, not Ben's opponent.
This could be seen from the level of their sword skills and the wounds on their bodies.
From the start of the fight until now, Ben had only suffered a few small scratches on his body, looking a bit disheveled, but nothing serious.
However, his opponent was already bleeding profusely, with a deep sword cut to his chest.
Theoretically, if such a severe wound occurred, the duel would end as soon as Ben's opponent conceded.
The instructor would not rule this situation as a passive duel.
He would still be able to survive if he took medicine to stop the heavy bleeding.
