Beep! Beep! Beep!
The sound of a beeping clock echoed throughout the air, and the spectators, still invested in the goings-on of the field, were suddenly reminded of the time.
They turned to the large screen and saw that the clock had struck—the event had officially ended—and then they turned to the final rankings.
"Unbelievable…"
"He went all the way to third…"
"Who is he? New Rakuya? I haven't even heard of that place before!"
Kiernan panted heavily, sweat dripping down his face as he tried to catch his breath, and then turned to the large screen.
It was really over—he could barely believe it.
"Goddamn it!"
The representatives cursed under their breaths, and some broke into tears—so many of them didn't receive a single point.
It was heartbreaking for them.
Kiernan dropped the ball down to the ground, closed his eyes in relaxation, and took a deep breath.
