Todor: Bandeer, you know what this means right. I won this Round!
Bandeer: You? How? My 'J' is stronger than your '1'.
Todor: You are not even worth explaining.
Referee-1: Since both players used a 'J' - the cards that duel will duel by their reciprocal value!
Bandeer: What! I actually missed this? Right! They did not say that the two Joker have to be placed on the second half at all to activate the reciprocal rule...
Todor's remaining hand: '2' '3' '4' 'J' - wins this round - 1
Bandeer's remaining hand: '1' '2' '3' '4' - wins this round - 0
Todor: You should have realised something else by now.
Bandeer (I lost? Todor used his weakest and beat my strongest with it... Now even in the best case scenario, I can win two phase at most, with using my '4' to beat his '3' and my '3' to beat his '2', but even if I could pull that off, I would be left with only a '1' and a '2' card against his '4' and 'J' cards, which is a guaranteed lose for me!)
Bandeer: I... I can't win this round... no, not just that... I also can't make it a tie, no matter what. This is what happens... when the weakest card beats the strongest?
Todor: Round 1 is mine... Will you give up?
Bandeer: Hah... I guess I have no reason to... keep going, to not to give this round to you, but we still have more rounds to go!
Todor: How optimistic.. It will only be one more round.
Bandeer: You seem... to be too optimistic.
Round 1 results: Todor 1 - 0 Bandeer
Referee-1 dealing the cards.
Bandeer (Seems like the referee deals the cards back to those whose used them in the previous rounds)
Referee-1: Round 2 phase 1 first half starts now! remaining time: 60 seconds remaining!
Todor in that moment, picked up his cards, except one, but that one being the '3', yes, Todor left that there, face up. So Todor picked up the other 4 cards and he started to rub his hands and fingers to both sides of all those 4 cards he picked up.
Badneer: Uhh? What are you doing? Wait, has your hand still not dried completely? Geez you shouldn't use the cards to dry them!
Todor: You have no idea...
Todor finishing with rubbing the cards with his somewhat still wet hands - 48 seconds remaining
After that, Todor selects one card, and rips it's corner just to instantly after, separate two layers of paper that the playing cards are made out of. 43 seconds remaining
Bandeer: The fuck are you doing seriously?
Suddenly, in one fast move, Todor removes his belt from his pants, and also a key from his pocket - a key for his hotel room that he got until participation in the BWCG - 39 seconds remaining
He holds the belt in his left arm, to be specific, its end, the metal part, and holds the key in his other, the right hand, bringing them above the card that sheets got separated partly. 35 seconds remaining
He clenched the key tight in his fist. With his other hand, he snapped the belt tip hard against it, again and again. Metal clinked on metal - 30 seconds remaining
Bandeer: Wait! What the hell? Stop it!
Todor kept doing it, until finally one spark appeared but it was not enough - does Todor really want to... set a fire? 26 seconds remaining
Again, and again, and again, and finally a spark strong enough hit the card where its layers were separated and it catched on fire! Todor does not waste any time, picks up the other 3 cards, and puts them into the fire until... They are on fire! 18 seconds remaining
Todor: Don't be so shocked, the rules don't forbid this
He says this to Bandeer while holding 4 cards in his hand that are on fire and suddenly, he starts to shuffle them in his hand? Almost like throwing the cards from one hand to another.
Referee-1: 10 Seconds left!
Referee-1 (Should I really let this happen? He did say that I should let him do what he does, because he would actually never do something that is against the rules but... is this really okay?)
Todor looks up suddenly to the referee...
Referee-1 (Ah? D- Does he notice my uncertainty?)
7 seconds remaining of the first half.
Todor brings the burning cards behind himself, where Bandeer cannot see it, but the referee can.
Referee-1 (Does he want to... Burn the chair he's sitting on too?)
The backrest of the chair is made out of a highly burnable foam material it can catch on fire really fast.
Referee-1: 2 seconds left!
Todor (It set on fire!)
And with that, with high speed on the last possible second, he snapped the card he was going to use - he was so fast that all four of the cards that were burning so far are now extinguished.
Bandeer used a '1' and Todor used a... 'Blank?'
That's right, the card has burned, you can still see that it is a card, but you can't see what is printed on it to tell its value.
Bandeer: Why? Why don't I understand what that card even does? -
Todor stands up from the chair and with his leg he pushes the chair back a little. The chair that is still on fire and is now started spreading into its wooden parts
Todor: Fire is quite hot, not gonna lie.
Bandeer: Tch - quit playing around! What are you a pyromaniac? What are these cards' values anyway?
Todor: How about we find out?
Todor says it while holding up a burnt card from his cards in his hand, signaling that he will play that one.
Bandeer (Hah, this will be so easy! The referee said that the only way to tell what the value of a card is by what is recognizable, what is printed on the, literally, if there is nothing on it, then it means it's NOTHING it must have a value of ZERO! Watch me defeat Todor once and for all! He also will get back those burnt cards, so he will be limited to those useless cards! It's a safe, guaranteed victory for me!)
Bandeer: Then, let's not waste any time!
And as they would put their cards to play them, at that moment Todor already put down the other cards other than what was on his right, but with a sudden move he reached with his other hand to the left, there, where he previously put that '3' card and used that instead.
Referee-1: '3' is stronger than '2' so Todor won this phase!
Bandeer seeing this instantly regretted his choice, Todor successfully baited him again, Todor predicted that Bandeer would play a '2' because that is that weakest he can play but would think that his any card would beat any of Todor's cards because they all should be blank
Todor's remaining hand: 'BLANK?' 'BLANK?' 'BLANK?' - wins this round - 2
Bandeer's remaining hand: '1' '3' '4' - wins this round - 0
