A Knight of Virtuosity runs up to Lester and, with a cry of "Striking a girl from behind??? There's no place for such rats in Tezoth!" guts him...

Age is age, but it was hard to deny Golden Coin's agility — unburdened by excess armor, the strapping fellow darted across the battlefield, spinning in a dance of death. Not everyone could withstand such an onslaught, and even armor, as Catharsis had learned from her own experience, was hardly an obstacle for him. Alaria was in no hurry to expose herself to the whirling vortex of steel that not everyone could endure. Instead, she kept a small distance between herself and her opponent, deftly dodging out of the way and sending a throwing knife after the spry old man, or turning to her healing flask. In the end, it was this very caution that brought her victory.

— You held yourself admirably, my lord. Many a youngster would envy your valor and agility, — the Tarnasian woman smiled as she extended her hand to the old brigand, — and you did not forget your promise. I sense the scar you left will prove fairer than many. Thank you for such a splendid duel!

Vargas applauded the witnessed battle.
Not only was the fight interesting, but watching milady in her prime was a sheer pleasure.
- Come on, brother, let's show them a battle that generations will remember! - he cheered on his grandfather, but the old man couldn't handle it, which was hardly surprising.

- Milady Stephania, if I'm not mistaken? - Lester rises to one knee again. - Please forgive me for this trick. Unfortunately, I saw no other option but to disguise myself as the sun of Aconia. You're just too good at handing out treats! However, I must admit, I hardly expected such a turn of events, but I did not try to harm your pet in any way. I adore animals, and yours seems to me the most beautiful. I'm sure he's maximally happy with you.

Having exhausted all her spiritual and physical strength, Milady Nelia Vesta nonetheless emerges victorious from this incredible duel...

I... just... have no words...😱 🤦‍♂️ 😱

Go on, little sister! Let's show the kingdom that we're not to be trifled with either.

After the duel, Emilia spotted Elsa's face in the crowd and immediately understood everything...

"Oh, these Silians... They cling to every piece of junk..."

She asks one of the organizers over there whether Elsa can repair Nelia's cloak.
<>If possible, she fixes it.

The spirit decreases after the turn, so it turns out that Zedil dies first, and only then does Nelia's spirit reset...

Belatedly put armor on the horse, let's stop there. Other than that, I haven't made any adjustments to the char sheets (I think).

- Thank you, my lady. - Belatedly remembering that technically the sorceress is no lady at all, Nelia nevertheless did not correct herself. - That is very kind and generous of you. - Then she found the recent opponent with her gaze. - I am truly sorry that the circumstances of your origin led you down this path, my lord. In another life, you could have been a worthy warrior, respected by those around you.

Zedil found nothing to reply.

I hope Zedil manages to defeat at least someone, otherwise I'm afraid Karnea will execute him and Revan will bring in a far more vicious and powerful Knight to replace him

Player-Killing Knight, my lord Characterus Gamey.

- I ought to get myself one of those wondrous flasks of yours somewhere — what's in it, scotch or vodka? - The brigand accepts the hand and rises to his feet. - Heh, we'll meet again at Bugurt.

Astral, when you comment on the fight between Ambrose and Axel, write that Ambrose was drunk and forgot the horse armor. And it was delivered to him before the fight...🤣🤣🤣

As for spending action points... Chonchonlia's behavior was based, firstly, on what she had seen in previous rounds. And secondly, on the fact that she had suffered 2 consecutive defeats and wanted to redeem herself.

Zedil, on the other hand, has now suffered his third defeat and sits at the bottom of the tournament standings. So....

- Ah, Lady Alsira. I presume I may hold hope of hearing a response to my proposal?

The chocolate lady merely waved her hand gracefully and left them alone. Only the universe knows whether this exchange took place before or after their recent battle.

She couldn't even admit to herself that she lost because of Vargas's powerful charisma, eh.
