As the next match of the Sports Festival was about to commence, Byph felt immense anxiety as he made his way to the arena. Present Mic announces the fight.
Present Mic(Intercom): ALRIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE NEXT MATCH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN! FIRST UP, WE HAVE O-MER FROM CLASS 002! AND HIS OPPONENT HAILS FROM CLASS 001! GIVE IT UP FOR BYPH!
As the crowd cheered for both fighters, Byph found himself wracked with nervousness. He grabbed his Lightsaber and felt his hands shake. He glances over to the stands to see his classmates cheering for him. Not wanting to let his classmates down, Byph calmed his nerves and stood tall.
O-Mer: Good luck in your fight, Byph.
Byph: Y...you too. May the Force be with you.
Present Mic(Intercom): CLASH!
As the fight was announced, Byph and O-Mer activated their Lightsabers and began dueling one another. Byph kept a strong defense as O-Mer pressed the attack on Byph. At first, Byph was overwhelmed by O-Mer's power strikes. Byph attempts to press the attack,
Byph: (He's...he's too strong! I can't.....)
As Byph begins to lose hope, he looks on to his classmates who were still cheering him on. His mind then falls back to his test in the Crystal Cave on his first day in the Jedi Academy.
Byph: (N...no! I can do this! They're counting on you! I can do this!)
In that moment, Byph overcame his insecurities and found his strength. Byph then pressed the attack on O-Mer. O-Mer then used the Force to blast Byph backwards with a telekinetic blast, but Byph was able to get back on his feet. O-Mer then charges at Byph and the two engage in an intense duel. As the two traded blows, Byph saw an opportunity to end the fight as he lands a swift kick to O-Mer. The kick sends O-Mer out of bounds.
Midnight: THE MATCH IS OVER! O-MER FROM 002 HAS BEEN ELIMINATED BY RINGOUT!
Present Mic(Intercom): WHAT A FIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BYPH ADVANCES TO THE NEXT ROUND!
As the crowd cheers for Byph, Byph walks over to O-Mer to help him up. Despite winning the match, Byph remained humble. After that, Byph made his way to the stands.
Katooni: That was amazing, Byph!
Petro: See? I knew you could do it!
Byph: T...thank you, guys. I don't think I would've made it far without you.
With that, the Sports Festival continued into the next match. The match between Barriss Offee and Jinx resulted in a close victory for Jinx. After that, the match between Xanatos and Cal Kestis ended in an overwhelming victory for Xanatos who displayed great power as well as ruthlessness. After that, Zatt's next match was next.
Zatt: Guess it's my turn.
Gungi: <Good luck, my friend!>
Katooni: We'll be cheering you on, Zatt.
Zatt smiles as he prepares to head down to the arena. But before he exits the stands, Ganodi stops him.
Ganodi: I just want to say....good luck.
Ganodi then kisses Zatt in the cheek. Zatt was initially caught off guard by this gesture as he blushes. Zatt then smiles at Ganodi and makes his way to the arena. As Zatt and Serra Keto made their way to the arena, Present Mic announces the fight.
Present Mic(Intercom): HERE WE ARE, FOLKS! THE LAST MATCH OF THE FIRST ROUND! AND THIS ONE SHOULD BE ONE HECK OF A MATCH! FIRST, WE HAVE ZATT OF CLASS 001! AND HIS OPPONENT REPRESSENTS CLASS 004! GIVE IT UP FOR SERRA KETO!
As the crowd cheered for Zatt and Serra, the two spoke to one another.
Zatt: I just want to say before this goes down, good luck.
Serra: Likewise. Now let's see what you can do!
Present Mic(Intercom): CLASH!
As Present Mic announces the fight, Serra pulls out two green Lightsabers and dashes towards Zatt. Zatt was able to activate his Lightsaber just in to to block Serra's flurry of fast paced attacks. As Zatt parries Serra's last strike, he follows through by using the Force to grip Serra and attempts to throw her out of bounds, but Serra was able to save herself.
Serra: At last....a test for my training!
Zatt: Guess that makes two of us.
As Zatt said this, he charges at Serra. He then jumps over Serra and attempts to catch her by surprise. Serra was able to block Zatt's strike and follows through by sweeping Zatt's legs just as he landed.
Serra: Don't tell me that's all you got!
Zatt retaliates by kicking Serra in the face. As she staggers back, Zatt falls back to analyze Serra's move set.
Zatt: (Okay....she hits hard and moves fast. With two Lightsabers, Serra's able to attack from all sides. But if I could hit her blind spot, I should be able take her down!)
As Zatt sees an opportunity, he quickly moves to capitalize. Zatt goes for an overhead strike on Serra. But as he does so, Serra was able to react and parry Zatt's attack. Before Zatt could react, Serra pins Zatt to the ground and aims her Lightsabers at Zatt. Zatt attempts to break free, but is unable to.
Serra: You put up a good fight, but it's over.
Zatt looks up to the stands where his classmates were. As much as he didn't want to give up, he had no choice.
Zatt: I...I forfeit.
Midnight: THE MATCH IS OVER! ZATT IS ELMINATED BY FOREFEIT!
Present Mic(Intercom): WHAT A WAY TO END THE FIRST ROUND! GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR SERRA KETO OF CLASS 004!
As the match was called, Zatt returned to the stands, bummed out about his loss.
Zatt: Sorry, guys.
Ganodi: You have nothing to be sorry about! You gave it your all! That's all that matters!
With that, the first round of the tournament was over. As an intermission begins, the Jedi Initates of Class 001 who won their matches would prepare for the quarter finals, knowing that it was only going to get harder from their.
