“Nice work, Knox!” Sara congratulated him.

“Thanks, Sara. Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for your fight?”

“I am. I'm fighting in ten minutes, but I just had to congratulate you first.”

He gave her a slight push, urging her to leave. “Yeah, yeah, but go now”. She made it toward the arena. Knox sat in the crowd, looking down toward the fighting grounds; being in the crowd, he got the chance to look around the place. The arena was a remarkable sight to behold. Its round shape gave it a sense of symmetry and balance, while the tall metal fence surrounding it made it look imposing and formidable. The wall was made of thick metal bars that were tightly welded together, creating a barrier that was almost impossible to breach. The ground was made of solid concrete, giving it a sturdy and reliable feel underfoot. The lack of obstacles or barriers on the ground made it clear that this was a place for pure combat, where only the strongest and most skilled fighters could emerge victorious.

The bright white light illuminated the arena from powerful lamps on tall poles. The lamps were positioned in a way that cast a bright, even light on every inch of the ground, making it easy for the fighters and the spectators to see what was happening. The light reflected off the metal fence, creating a dazzling glow that added to the electrifying atmosphere of the arena.

The crowd was seated on metal bleachers surrounding the arena, creating a sense of closeness and intimacy. The bleachers were arranged in a steep curve, giving everyone a clear view of the fights and creating a sense of unity and solidarity among the spectators. The air was filled with the sound of cheering, shouting, and applause, making it clear that everyone present was fully invested in the fights.

Overall, the arena was a place of excitement, challenge, and adrenaline. It was a place where fighters could test their skills and push themselves to the limit and where spectators could witness the raw power and determination of the human spirit. He stopped looking around when the announcer said the fight was starting.

Her opponent was a tall, muscular man with a shaved head and a thick beard. He looked intimidating, but Sara wasn't afraid. She knew that she had trained hard for this fight and that she was ready to take him on.

As soon as the bell rang, the man charged at her. Sara dodged his attack and landed a punch to his side. He staggered back but quickly regained his balance and came at her again.

The two fighters circled each other, looking for an opening. Sara ducked under a punch and kicked the man's leg. The man stumbled but managed to stay on his feet.

The fight went back and forth, with both fighters taking and delivering blows. Sara landed a powerful kick to the man's chest, but he countered with a punch to her face. She felt a sharp pain in her nose, but didn't let it slow her down.

As the fight continued, Sara's confidence grew. She could see that her opponent was getting tired and knew she had the stamina to outlast him. She landed a flurry of punches and kicks, each one stronger than the last.

Finally, with a well-timed punch to the side of his head, Sara knocked her opponent to the ground. The crowd erupted in cheers as the referee declared her the winner.

Sara raised her arms in triumph, her heart pounding with adrenaline. She had won the fight.

Knox and Jade joined the crowd in cheering after Sara landed a powerful punch that knocked out her opponent. The two friends decided to congratulate Sara together.

“Wow, Sara, that fight was incredible!” Jade exclaimed with excitement as they reached her.

“Thanks, I appreciate it, but it wasn't a big deal,” Sara replied modestly.

Knox chimed in somewhat sarcastically, “Ah, there's the ever-so-humble Sara.”

“Pft, shut up.”

“Anyway… Jade is up next, so we should get going. Good luck!” Knox continued quickly, heading out with Sara. They went to the same place where Knox and Jade were sitting and watched the following fight, cheering for Jade in the process.

Jade stood in the center of the arena, her eyes fixed on her opponent. The girl she was up against was impressive, levitating effortlessly above the ground. Her long hair was tied back in a tight braid, and her eyes were narrowed in concentration as she assessed Jade.

Jade took a deep breath and focused on her mana. She summoned a small fireball in her hand and watched as it flickered and danced. She knew her opponent was quick, but she was confident in her abilities.

The girl in the air hovered higher, watching Jade warily. Jade launched the fireball, and it flew towards the girl. The small fireball burned brightly, illuminating the arena in a warm glow.

The girl moved to the side, dodging the attack with ease. Jade watched as she levitated higher, out of her range. Her heart pounded in her chest as she realized she needed to devise a new strategy.

Jade summoned another fireball, this time larger than the last. She focused her energy and launched it towards the girl. The fireball flew towards her, but the girl was too quick. She levitated higher, avoiding the attack.

Jade realized that she needed to be more creative. She focused her energy and summoned a series of fireballs, launching them one by one towards the girl. The girl moved with ease, easily dodging each attack.

Jade felt a surge of frustration as she realized that she was running out of options. She needed to come up with something new, something unexpected.

Jade focused her energy once again, summoning a fireball in each hand. She launched them both simultaneously, hoping to catch the girl off guard. The girl levitated higher, but this time, Jade was ready.

Jade jumped into the air, launching herself towards the girl. She grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her down to the ground. The girl stumbled, losing her concentration, and Jade seized the opportunity.

Jade landed on the ground and launched a final fireball towards the girl. The fireball hit its mark, and the girl fell to the ground, defeated.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Jade emerged victorious. She raised her hands in triumph, feeling the heat of the fireballs still burning in her palms.
