Hiems' arm was halfway to punching when he heard her give up. Did she now? The arm stopped awkwardly midair and hovered for a few seconds while Hiems processed the girl's words. 'She what?' He thought as he lowered his arm. The confused boy took the leisure to scratch his chin. So she surrendered... Maybe she saw no chance of winning him. A bit of a shame- she had so many chances to be victorious.
"Well, if you say so."
He said as Midnight raised her whip. The hero standing referee had heard her words, and accepted it as words of surrendering. The buzzer went off loudly as the decoration flames went on again. The crowd cheered at the end of a fierce battle, which was sadly a bit of a easy end. No matter what they seemed to like it. Hiems stood in front of Yaoyorozu, before patting her on the shoulder and turning around. That was all, a pat on the shoulder. He didn't stay to explain how she didn't suck, as he knew it wasn't the best way to treat someone in such a situation. Maybe someone else could cheer her up, but not him, not now.
