For something like that, you'll have to pay...

Might as well be -10 to aesthetics and opponents' perception.

well, I paid with my origin bonus..

Hm?

Or are you using a preemptive attack?

Yeah, but there's no chance there—he's got armor, my pokes are no better than a tickle.

"Yeah" — is that a preemptive attack?🤔

Round 2, fight 2.

Milord Lester Vargas V vs. Milady Alaria Doran

The battle began with three strikes in a row that had already become customary, one of which inflicted a physical injury on Alaria. The other two, unsuccessful ones, seemed to morally break the young woman. Though, when someone is trying to stab you with a dagger at lightning speed, not giving you even a chance to react, you can indeed feel, to say the least, out of your element.

In response to such attacks, the young woman decided to launch a fiery assault, which set Lester Vargas's body ablaze. It seemed he should have focused on putting out the fire, but instead he clenched his willpower and performed his usual series of strikes. He didn't land a hit on her body, but Alaria once again fell into a despondency foreign to ordinary warriors.

In fact, for some time the battle looked roughly like this: the still-burning Knight of Dawnsteel kept swinging his dagger through sheer willpower, missing the Knight of Catharsis again and again. She seemed to fend off his attacks in return, but at the same time kept sinking into despair. It was probably hard to keep up with such swiftness. And not all of her attacks were successful either.

Part of the battle the knights spent recovering their health, but for the most part they actively exchanged blows. And while one kept burning, the other seemed to sink deeper and deeper into despair. And at some point, the battle and the endless warding off of the dagger flashing before her eyes exhausted Alaria so much that she simply... gave up. The young woman lost all her mental strength to continue the fight, lowered her arms, and ended the bout. In doing so, she not only secured a second consecutive victory for Lester Vargas but also sent him off to treat those infamous burns, which, frankly, were painful for absolutely everyone to look at. What willpower!

Notes: one of the strangest battles of the round, if not the entire tournament. Losing to the failed attempts of a fully burning opponent trying to attack you takes real skill. That said, the fight was one of the most exhausting.

Nah. Don't waste OD, he'll wreck me even with preemptive.

Stefania shoots at Orvald, misses.

Are you guys just beating each other up with plain jabs now, or what?

I hit with regular attacks and heal myself when needed

OK.

Yeah, I don't see any point in trying to run. Whether I'm on a living horse or not, Orvald catches up, paralyzes me, and does his dirty deed to the poor girl 😭

I'm healing too, by the way. But that's obvious. In short, a standard fight with minimal chances for me.

Round 2, battle 3.

Milady Chonchonlia Quintea V Milord Candle Lanterna

The battle began with two shots at Candle, one of which dealt minor damage to him. But as soon as the Knight of the Swift Arrow released the bowstring, the Knight of Milk Chocolate fell from Almond, awaiting urgent medical attention. A swift and relatively easy victory.

Round 2, fight 5.

Milord Ambrose Turbon V vs Milord Zedil Mox

Perhaps the shortest, fastest, and most brutal fight of all seen. Ambrose, rushing at Mordred, swiftly drove his spear into Zedil's body, not giving him even a chance to react. In this case, a dirty victory. Not because the knight cheated, but because the blood of the Knight of Unbridled Violence was literally everywhere.

Note: does that man really hold the title of Knight of Unbridled Violence? In any case, depriving Ambrose of Mordred at the start turned out to be a wiser decision than it seemed before. Otherwise, a similar fate would have awaited me. At the same time, it is worth noting that, having learned from the battle with me, the Knight of Hegemony decided to clad his horse in additional protection. In the future, this may give him an advantage.
