About 30 minutes had passed since Yuki's win and Gwen's defeat, Gwen was being treated by some medics while Yuki just sat on the battle stage with a juice box by her side, she seemed slightly annoyed and tired, she thought to herself "For some reason I feel upset about the way I kicked Gwen earlier. I know I was to do everything in my power to win, but maybe I over did it.". Suzuha walked up to Yuki and asked "Are you okay? Have you recovered all of your energy?",Yuki replied "I've only recovered a decent amount of it, but i guess I'm fine.". She looked at Gwen who was being healed "Is Gwen okay?", Yuki asked, Suzuha replied "She only got a small concussion to the head. It wasn't anything serious at all. But damn, that kick of yours was pretty damn strong.", Yuki smiled mildly "Ah, thanks.". Gwen got up "Thanks, I can stand now.", she said to the medics that had healed her. Suzuha approached her "Gwen, are you okay?", Gwen replied "Yeah, I'm fine now.", she looked at Yuki and called to her "Yuki...", Yuki's eyes tilted to her with a slightly angry look, Gwen gave her a thumbs up "That was fun.", Yuki seemed a bit heart warmed. Yuki was happy that her friendship with Gwen hadn't ended at all because of the fight they just had, she smiled softly at Gwen and replied "Yeah, it was.". Yuki stood up and walked back up to the place the rest of the girls were standing. Astera thought to herself "Hm, pathetic. One has too many body limitations and works extra hard in fights so that she won't die. The other one uses giant disgusting mouths to attack while she depends on sneaky tactics. Either way, if they were to fight me, I'd definitely win.". As Yuki and Lydia were just about to talk with one another, Suzuha called out "Alright, the thirty minutes break is over. The next match will now begin.", the giant screen buzzed to life and started to pick names at random. As it was doing so, Mio thought to herself in anticipation "Come on, pick me! Pick me!", Racheal also thought to herself "God please if you're hearing me, please don't let me be the next fighter.", Lydia had an uninterested look on her face as she thought to herself "God forbid I'm too go next. I swear too God I don't want to be next.". The screen stopped and picked the two girls who were to fight next [LYDIA OF THE ATTACK CLAN Vs REGINA STARFALL], Regina thought to herself with slight shock "Huh? Me?", Lydia thought to herself with her expression unchanged "Why Lord?! Why did it have to be me?!". Suzuha then stated "Alright, Regina Starfall and Lydia of the attack clan should come down and battle. Now!". Both girls walked down to the stage with the rest of the girls cheering for them "Come on. You can do it!", Mio exclaimed, Yuki and Racheal cheered "You both should give it your all. Okay?". As Lydia and Regina stood face to face, Suzuha explained "The rules are simple, you both are to go all out with no draw back, complaints or excuses. Got it?", both girls replied "Yes ma'm", Suzuha then exclaimed "BEGIN!". As soon as she gave them the word to start, both Regina and Lydia stared at each other for a couple of seconds. They're facial expressions slowly started to change as they looked at each other, both girls knew that one of them was about to attack. Regina activated her spirit mark(Triangle with three dots) and shot a beam of purple energy at her. Lydia immediately spotted this attack, created two cross like swords made of white light and sent a powerful slash at the beam that was thrown at her. All the girls immediately got hyped from seeing what just happened, even Astera blinked due to the fact that she was slightly surprised. Regina and Lydia started to run at incredible speeds with Regina holding two swords of purple energy, and Lydia holding two sword of white energy, both of them ran towards each other and started to clash blades with one another. As they were doing so, they both seemed to be equally matched in skill, Regina was trying to slash Lydia with all the strength and speed she got, and Lydia was blocking and also trying to slash Regina. As the fight went on like this, they were causing white and purple slashes to fly all over the place due to their constant clashing of energy blades. Regina commended Lydia "Wow Lydia, you're not bad.", she seemed focused, Lydia replied while also seeming focused "Yeah, you too.". As they were clashing while running around like lightning, Lydia made an attempt to kick Regina, Regina was able to see this attempt and block the incoming kick while also kicking Lydia down to the ground. As Lydia crashed straight into the ground, she looked up and saw multiple spiritual shurikens flying towards her "Spirit Technique: Spiritual Shuriken!", Regina called out the same of her technique. Lydia clicked her tounge and called out "Special Technique: Angel's Wrath!", crosses of white energy surrounded her and started to shoot and clash with Regina's multiple spiritual shurikens. Explosions of energy were being caused as both attacks clashed, Racheal watching this fight thought to herself "What's she thinks using *Angel's Wrath* like that? She should know that she can't simply shoot it out like that, the attack is uncontrollable.". While Lydia and Regina's attacks were clashing together, both girls were running around while showcasing great swordsmanship. Regina was showing that she was a properly trained assassins with her sword of energy, while Lydia was also showcasing that she was also trained properly, but she was using more forcefull efforts than Regina. As they continued to fight, Lydia jumped up and started sending slashes at rapid fire, Regina on the other hand kept on running and cutting through the slashes. Lydia thought to herself "She's easily keeping up with me, not to mention that she's using less force than I am using. She's the definition of pure skill and deadly strikes, while I also have skills but use more of flashy attacks and force to combat." As Lydia was still having her inner dialogue, she flew down towards Regina and crashed with her to the ground. Both Regina and Lydia came out running out of the smoke screen caused by the previous clash. They continued to battle, Regina wasn't using her swords anymore, but instead she had her hands covered with purple energy. Lydia on the other hand still had her swords with her and sent two powerful slashes at Regina, Regina was able to dodge them and then appear behind Lydia. Lydia was stunned as she looked behind just too see Regina preparing a beam of energy at her. Lydia quickly blocked the blast with her swords, but was sent flying backwards, Regina appeared behind her again with her hands covered with purple lightning and then made an attempt to slam Lydia on the head. Lydia yet again blocked with her sword, she was struggling to hold up Regina's attack "Shit! Purple lightning? Is that even a thing? When did she have lightning attribute?". Lydia's sword blasted away due to the fact that they couldn't hold up Regina's arm anymore, as Regina was about to blast another beam of purple lightning, Lydia quickly created a ball of white energy and blasted it at the same time Regina had blasted the attack of purple lightning. The clash of both attacks caused an explosion of both white and purple energies, all the girls were extremely shocked, Astera just took two steps back and tilted her head a little. A purple bolt flashed by her and blasted the wall behind where she was standing, she had no expression at all "Hm, all these unnecessary use of energy. Whatever, they aren't all bad. But they are still pathetic.", she thought to herself. The smoke from the explosion cleared off, Regina was seen standing above Lydia with her purple sword of energy, Lydia on the other hand was sitted on the ground while pointing a small blaster of white energy at Lydia. Suzuha had an impressed look on her face "Wow, one has asserted their dominance as the winner, the other one is showing she still has some fight left despite being on a tight spot.", she thought to herself. Suzuha then declared "The winner has been decided, Regina Starfall is the winner.". All the girls except Racheal and Astera were cheering, Regina stretched her hand to Lydia "You okay?", she asked. Lydia got up herself "I'm fine", she responded. She glanced at Racheal who seemed to have a straight facial expressions "Tch, why does she have to be a sore loser?!", Lydia asked herself. Yuki on the other hand was applauding for Lydia "Lydia, you did great!", Lydia just smiled softly and replied "Thanks.".
