Chapter 394: A strange result

The situation became tenser and tenser the longer the two of them remained lying on the floor. It was an unexpected situation, to say the least, but even more so something that hadn’t happened before. Even the teacher to the side seemed unsure what he should do about it.

“What happens now?” Ian asked. “Do we have to wait for the first one to regain consciousness? Does Sty keep his position as rank 2, while Numba gets upgraded to rank 3?”

“I'm not sure.” Izzy shrugged. “The rules state that a fight is over once someone is knocked out, or when they remain on the floor for more than ten seconds. It’s been double that length, yet both badges remain unchanged. Maybe the system just hasn’t been programmed for this type of scenario.”
