Scene:The 3rd round begins inside Delhi Stadium. Everyone is watching—Principal Milry, Principal Rana, King Bit, and many other people.
Buchi:"So, let's begin the next round."
Scene:A girl from Ekta School steps forward, and from Doramai School, Pretty enters the arena.
Buchi:"Purvi vs Pretty. Match start!"
Scene:The moment the match starts, Pretty attacks. She vanishes and appears behind Purvi. Purvi notices it at the last moment and manages to block and dodge, but still takes some damage on the hand holding her sword.
Purvi:"Eek..!!"
Scene:Pretty instantly attacks again, but this time Purvi blocks it perfectly.
Pretty:"!"
Purvi:"Not so fast!"
Pretty:"Hey..!" (with a sharp smile)"SWORD BLOOD ART!"
Scene:A red aura-like energy comes out of Pretty's sword and bites into Purvi's sword, reducing its durability to half.
Purvi:"! What was that?!"
Scene:Pretty steps back and explains.
Pretty:"This is a skill I recently learned. With this, I can reduce my enemy's weapon durability to half.Normally, a weapon breaks after a certain number of attacks—but with this skill, I only need half that time."
Purvi:"Tsk..!"
Jimmy (whispering):"She's done for."
Jack:"!"
Jimmy:"..."
Scene:The fight continues.
Purvi:"Butterfly Sword Slash!"
Scene:Purvi jumps and performs a 360-degree flip. Small pink wings emerge from her sword. One wing touches Pretty's hand, and the moment it does, that part gets completely burned.
Pretty:"!"
Scene:Pretty dodges backward, escaping the attack's radius.
Pretty:"Shit…!"
Lior:"Who do you think will win this match?"
Shai:"Hmm, I think Pretty, because the enemy has already taken a lot of damage from the start."
Lior:"That makes sense."
Scene:Suddenly, Purvi rushes forward at high speed from behind the wings and directly attacks Pretty's face with her sword. Pretty dodges at the last moment.
Pretty:"!"
Pretty (in her mind):"Speed increased?!"
Purvi:"!" (smiles)
Scene:At the same time, some wings hit Pretty from behind.
Pretty:"Agh..!!"
Purvi:"You have to be aware of your surroundings, not just your enemy."
Pretty:"!"
Scene:Pretty stands her ground. Both attack at the same time, and their swords clash.
Purvi:"He…!"
Pretty:"He…!"
Scene:Both stare at each other sharply with hostile eyes. Pretty pulls her sword back and strikes with heavy pressure—almost making Purvi lose her grip—but Purvi adjusts.Pretty attacks again, this time aiming for Purvi's neck. Just as it's about to hit, Purvi counters by attacking Pretty's stomach. Seeing this, Pretty cancels her attack and dodges.
Purvi (in her mind):"Close call!"
Pretty (in her mind):"Damn it!"
Scene:Pretty attacks again.
Pretty:"Sword Ray!"
Scene:Wherever Pretty steps, the ground turns into fire, preventing Purvi from moving there without taking damage.
Purvi:"Wind Guard!"
Scene:A transparent armor covers Purvi's body. It looks invisible, but in reality, her entire body is protected.
Purvi (in her mind):"I learned this skill from my guild friend just in time… good thing I did."
Scene:Pretty attacks, but the attack gets deflected by the wind armor.
Pretty:"?!!"
Purvi:"Hn..! This is my armor. It deflects weapon attacks and some skills."
Pretty:"I see… then what about this?!'10 STRIKE MARK!'"
Scene:Pretty circles around Purvi, touching the armor multiple times with her sword. Then she steps back and throws her sword into the ground.The armor breaks, causing a blast. Purvi gets thrown into the air and falls down. Pretty instantly attacks, but Purvi blocks with her sword, dodges immediately after, and gets back into her fighting stance.

Bit:"No doubt…"
Purvi:"Hell Agility!"
Scene:All of Purvi's stats boost five times. She attacks—Pretty dodges. Purvi attacks again—Pretty blocks.Both keep exchanging attacks, their speed increasing rapidly. Suddenly, a small crack appears on Purvi's sword.
Purvi:"!"
Jack:"Shit!"
Pretty:"Got'cha!"
Scene:Purvi kicks Pretty, pushing her back, then jumps backward herself to create distance.Pretty notices Purvi's sword is damaged and immediately rushes in to attack. She jumps to strike—but Purvi lands a flying kick on Pretty's face, drawing blood.Pretty falls, but quickly stands up. As she does, Purvi delivers another kick to Pretty's neck, drawing more blood. Pretty falls again and stays down for a moment.
Scene:Taking advantage of this, Purvi attacks with her sword. Pretty fails to dodge or block.

Pretty:"Sorry, guys…"

Pretty:"Please…!"
