Team Fujimoto arrives outside the main gate of the palace. Fujimoto then knocks on the gate. Sebastian then answers them.
Sebastian – Welcome.
They enter the palace. They arrive at the main room.
Grinn – Hello, I'm glad you had the courage and determination to come here, it shows that you are a group that is not afraid of anything.
Cassandra – Is Melissa here?
Grinn – No, she wanted to fulfill your request and she won't watch the fight, so she decided to help the kingdom's maids tidy the rooms.
Cassandra is surprised.
Cassandra – (Melissa was different yesterday, she doesn't even look like the Melissa she was five years ago.)
Fujimoto – You know Cassandra, Melissa didn't seem like a bad person to me and I didn't feel anything wrong with her aura either.
Cassandra – But even so, she did terrible things to me and Kairo.
Fujimoto – People change, every living being that thinks is subject to error, you were a thief when I met you, nowadays you have changed, I think it is at least worth trying to hear what she has to say.
Cassandra – That's right, if we get out of this alive, then I will talk to her.
One of the guards arrives and informs them that the Knight of Judgment is waiting in the private duel room.
Grinn – The conversation is good, but we have to go.
They then go to the private duel room, and when they get there they see the Knight of Judgment.
Kairo – (So this is the feared Knight of Judgment.)
Cassandra – (Will we be able to defeat him?)
Max – (So this is the guy I'm going to beat up today.)
Shana – (Lucky for him, I'm sealed in this human form.)
Koharu – (This guy seems to be really strong.)
Fujimoto – (I think it's okay to greet him.)
Fujimoto then goes towards the Knight of Judgment.
Everyone is surprised.
Grinn – (Is he crazy?)
Grinn then holds Fujimoto and prevents him from greeting the Knight of Judgment.
Grinn – You can't greet him, because it could be dangerous.
Fujimoto – That's right.
The Knight of Judgment then nods his head, confirming Grinn's words.
Grinn – The Knight of Judgment doesn't like conversations, he just listens and obeys.
Fujimoto – I understand.
Grinn – Whoever is going to fight the Knight of Judgment, come closer to me.
Max then approaches Grinn.
Grinn – Knight of Judgment, this guy here next to me will be the opponent in the duel that will decide the lives of Cassandra and Kairo.
The Knight of Judgment nods his head in agreement with Grinn.
Fujimoto – (I think I'll use the Hidden Observatory to see who the Knight of Judgment is.)
Fujimoto then uses the Hidden Observatory and is surprised by what he discovers.
Fujimoto – (So this person is the Knight of Judgment.)
Grinn – Hey, you all, let's watch the fight from the window, and don't worry, there's a barrier inside the room preventing the blows from destroying the place.
So only Max and the Knight of Judgment remain in the private duel room. The others are sitting at a table with chairs to watch.
Max – (I'm going to test my new technique against him.)
Max then uses the Fire of Youth. Suddenly the dueling room gets hotter.
Max – (Now I'm going to combine it with the Physical Augmentation.)
Max then uses the Physical Augmentation. Max then goes towards the Knight of Judgment at high speed, but the Knight of Judgment hits Max with a knee. Max then tries to punch him, but he catches Max's punch with only one hand. Then he throws Max up with his knee, jumps really high and hits a kick in Max's stomach. Max then ends up on the ground, Max stays crouched.
Max – (Damn, I didn't do any damage to him.)
Meanwhile outside the room.
Fujimoto – the Knight of Judgment really is amazing.
Koharu – This guy is impossible to beat.
Shana – (It would be interesting to face this guy in my true form.)
Kairo – Cassandra, are you okay?
Cassandra then stares at the fight.
Cassandra – I know this fighting style.
Meanwhile, inside the dueling room, Max tries to land several blows on the Knight of Judgment, but none of them land. The Knight of Judgment then jumps and leaps behind Max, placing his feet on Max's neck and throwing him. Max is then defeated.
Meanwhile, outside the dueling room.
Grinn – So the fight is over.
Cassandra then hits the table, determined, she says.
Cassandra – I want to fight the Knight of Judgment!
Everyone is surprised by Cassandra's words.
Fujimoto – (So did she realize?)
Kairo – Are you crazy?
Grinn – Are you sure?
Cassandra – Yes.
Grinn – Okay, then I'll just check with the Knight of Judgment if he wants to fight you.
Grinn goes to the dueling room, he comes back and brings Max. Shana heals Max. Max wakes up.
Cassandra – So, he accepts to fight me?
Grinn – Yes.
Cassandra – Then I'll go there.
Grinn – Wait, don't you want better equipment to at least withstand the impact of the blows?
Cassandra – That's right.
Cassandra then puts on the equipment. Cassandra then enters the dueling room.
Cassandra – Let's fight.
Cassandra then uses a gust of wind, but it doesn't have any effect on the Knight of Judgment.
Cassandra – (Oh shit, it really didn't work.)
The Knight of Judgment then takes his sword from his back with his right hand and makes a counterclockwise movement with the sword, then a great technique is fired. Everyone watching is terrified.
Kairo – Cassandra!!!
Grinn – Don't despair.
Kairo – How could I not despair knowing that a technique like that can kill her.
Grinn – Just watch.
Cassandra then managed to dodge without getting scratched. Everyone is surprised. Cassandra then gets up and smiles.
Cassandra – (I knew that the Knight of Judgment was this person.)
Cassandra – Hey Melissa, you can take off your helmet, I already know it's you.
The Knight of Judgment then takes off his helmet, revealing himself to be Melissa Merechal. Everyone is surprised.
Grinn – Silence, don't shout this, because it's something secret.
Everyone agrees.
Melissa – I see that you haven't forgotten our fights back then.
Cassandra – Yes.
Melissa then drops her sword on the ground.
Cassandra – I see, so you want to test my skills.
Cassandra and Melissa then start a hand-to-hand combat.
Kairo – Is Cassandra having fun alongside Melissa?
Melissa is taking advantage of the fight.
Cassandra – I never thought you would become this strong.
Melissa – You still give me trouble in the fights, I'm happy to be able to face you again.
Melissa then runs towards Cassandra.
Cassandra – (I wonder if she's desperate... no, she's up to something.)
Melissa then runs quickly, crouches down and tries to trip her, Cassandra jumps back and manages to dodge, Melissa then does a backflip kick, Cassandra then puts both hands on her face to protect herself, but Melissa's kick is so strong that it throws Cassandra away.
Melissa – (I wonder if I hurt her?)
Melissa – Cassandra, are you okay?
Melissa then runs close to see if Cassandra is okay, when Melissa gets close she has both legs trapped by Cassandra who traps her using both legs. Cassandra then smiles.
Cassandra – You have to keep your intention the whole time, you only win a fight when you immobilize an enemy.
Melissa then smiles.
Melissa – Do you think I didn't already know that?
Melissa then uses her ability and shrinks Cassandra's boots, Melissa then gets out of Cassandra's immobilization. Melissa then uses her other technique, making chains come out of the ground and immobilize Cassandra. Melissa then smiles.
Melissa – I won.
Cassandra – Yes, you are very strong.
Melissa then takes off the chains and makes the boots return to normal. Melissa then extends her hand for Cassandra to stand up. Cassandra then accepts. Melissa lifts Cassandra up. Kairo is surprised to see this scene.
Melissa – We will have a lot to talk about.
Cassandra – I haven't completely forgiven you, but I believe you have changed.
Melissa – By the way, I need to tell you something serious.
Cassandra – What?
Melissa – We are blood sisters.
Cassandra is shocked to hear this.
