In the best-of-five contest, the Royal Knight Academy led by Holman swept their opponents three to zero, dominating the entire match. Pre-match opinions were that Aubent, as one of the eight nobles, should put up a fierce fight, but Holman and his warriors showed terrifying suppressive power, reducing Aubent to the level of children in the Grace Class.
After the victory, Holman led his team onto the stage, waving to the audience and specially approaching the VIP seats. The tall and mature Holman gazed at Estella, offering a respectful salute, met with applause from the entire hall.
The applause was for Holman, as well as for Tia, the guardian deity of the Moncalleta family. Prince Hokele led the standing ovation, undoubtedly seeing Holman as the stabilizing force after he ascends to the throne.
Estella may not be fond of this, but the strength exhibited by Holman's team certainly commanded respect.
