Scene:Inside Delhi School Stadium, Ekta School and Lokhand School are entering the ground.Suddenly, Maran, the principal of Terani School, speaks up.
Maran:"Wait!"
Scene:Everyone looks at Maran.
Rana:"What happened?"
Maran:"I do not accept that match. According to the rules, that kid did not use a sword.By that logic, my school should be the winner."
Viewers:"He's right."
Another viewer:"That kid defeated him with bare hands…"
Third viewer:"But this is a sword tournament.So by that logic, this is cheating."
Scene:Doramai School's team is called to the ground.
Buchi:"Your team is being disqualified."
Damu:"What?! Why?"
Buchi:"Because the sword was not used."
Precious:"Then you cannot disqualify us."
Buchi:"Why?"
Precious:"This was a sword tournament, yes—but nowhere in the rules did it say that bare-hand combat is forbidden.You never mentioned such a rule beforehand.So according to the rules, we are the winners."
Buchi:"Ah… you're right.I'm sorry. You may all leave."
Maran:"What…?!"
Kisami:"Sit down, Maran. Let the tournament continue.Your school has already been defeated."
Rana:"He's right."
Maran:"Tsk…"
Jimmy (inner thoughts):"Come on, hurry up and finish this…I want to fight already.After all, I'm the strongest—let me show it."
Buchi:"Alright, this matter is settled.Doramai School students may return.Let's continue the tournament."
Scene:Everyone leaves, and the third round begins: Ekta School vs Lokhand School.The matches continue—sometimes Ekta wins, sometimes Lokhand.Finally, Jimmy enters the ring.
Buchi:"The last contender, please enter the ring."
Scene:Jimmy steps in.From Lokhand School, a boy enters as well.
Buchi:"Start!"
Opponent:"Fire Blaze Sword!"
Scene:Flames appear on his sword as he rushes toward Jimmy.Jimmy easily dodges the attack.
Jimmy:"Easy… Terti Blade."
Scene:Plants burst out from the ground.Jimmy rushes forward, then suddenly vanishes and appears behind his opponent—slashing the opponent's neck.
Jimmy:"This skill allows me to teleport.I can switch places with these plants.Well… easy win."
Buchi:"The winner of this round is Jimmy from Ekta School.Ekta School has won 4 out of 7 matches,so Ekta School is the winner of the third match."
Jack:"Good work, Jimmy."
Jimmy:"Hmph. I'm not that special."
Buchi:"Now, let's begin today's final fourth match."
Scene:Meanwhile, inside Doramai School's private candidate room.
Nimi:"So… Ekta School won."
Pretty:"That guy looks very confident in his power."
Nimi:"Of course. I heard he's the only person in Ekta School who was Rank B in the guild."
Shai:"No, no. He's progressed recently.He's been promoted to Rank A."
Nimi:"What?!"
Shai:"Yeah. I heard he rescued a D- or E-rank party from a dungeon and defeated an insect-type monster.Because of that, he was promoted to Rank A."
Pretty:"Nice. So he's good at fighting?"
Shai:"Yes."
Lior:"But don't worry. We don't lack powerful students either.Me, Shai, Nimi, Pretty, Damu, Miliem, and Precious—we're all strong."
Nimi:"Right. Because of Precious, I didn't even get a chance to fight.Otherwise, I would've shown them."
Scene:Behind them, Damu, Miliem, and Precious are standing.Precious is sitting on the ground while Damu and Miliem are scolding him.
Damu:"Precious! You shouldn't have done that!It's good the opponents backed off in fear—otherwise, what would've happened?!"
Miliem:"Damu is right, Precious.We had already planned who would enter the ring and in what order!"
Precious:"Sorry…"
Damu:"What if something had happened to you?!What if they hadn't backed off?!"
Miliem:"Then what? You would've been dead!You openly challenged everyone like that!Just because you're powerful and Principal Rana personally chose you,that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"
Damu:"You need to know your limits!And this is a sword tournament!Why were you fighting with bare hands?!What—were you trying to get yourself killed in that match?!"
Precious:"Sorry…"
Damu:"We are seniors. I've participated in this tournament many times before you.I know how powerful the opponents here can be.Everyone is here to win and represent their school.
I'm not just scolding you—I'm explaining this as a senior.Think of me as your big brother."
Precious:"Yeah…"
Miliem:"I hope you understand what we're saying."
Damu:"And from now on, follow the rules.Fight according to the order we've assigned.Don't forget—if something happens to anyone, it's my responsibility as the leader.I'll have to face all the consequences.
And if something happens to you, what would I say to your family?What would the teachers say, the ones responsible for our protection?"
Miliem:"Sir Baki and Ma'am Shila."
Damu:"Yes."
Precious:"Okay… got it."
Precious (inner thoughts):"No one has ever scolded me before.This is the first time someone has scolded me…"
Kail (Precious's Manas skill):"So, how does it feel getting scolded for the first time?"
Precious:"It actually feels pretty good.It's very unique… but I like it."
Kail:"?! Getting scolded feels good?!Well… if it's you, anything is possible."
Scene:Meanwhile, Lior and the others are watching Precious.
Lior:"Hehehe… I'll never forget this day.This is the first time I've seen Precious like this."
Pretty:"Hmm… same here.I've never seen any uncle or aunty scold or hit Precious either.This is my first time too—and honestly, I'm enjoying it. Hehehe."
Lior:"Right? Right?"
Lior & Pretty:"KHI-KHI-KHI!"
Precious:"-_- …"
