From a wandering hero to a security officer, Gamora still has little idea as to how she found herself partaking in this tournament. She didn't even bother signing up on her own, for she was content with her job in protecting the students and keeping peace both within and beyond the walls of the Academy. And yet the higher ups simply invited her in anyways just so she can test her mettle against the very students she swore to protect. In any other situation, the benevolent turtle would've declined as she would never come to fight a child or student for any other reason, unless another child was in danger or under harm. However, this would be one of the only exceptions she'll be willing to take. After all, it's an official tournament and they're only fighting for practice. It's agreeable to say the least.

Gamora's first opponent was an uphill battle against a water-wielder. Considering she wields fire as her primary arsenal, by all means he should've beaten her. However what he didn't have was incredible durability and strength to counter the turtle's own. Nor did he have a super durable shield that could deflect most of his water-attacks. Now with that fight being placed in the bag, it was time to face the next challenger. As the crowd cheers as she enters the arena, the bouncy turtle couldn't help but to wave her arms in the air and smile at the guests as the referee announces her presence.

At the opposite corner, she spots her opponent - a female blonde elf wielding a rapier blade. She looks to be an outsider, someone plucked from the streets to challenge against the other students to prove her might as well. And unlike her previous opponent, she's way more fire-friendly. Now she'll be able to use her full potential in this battle. The turtle lady strikes another battle pose, lowering her stance towards the ground and clenches her fists.

[b][color=39b54a]"You there! Worthy Challenger!"[/color][/b] she calls out with a challenging grin and beckons her with a simple hand gesture, [b][color=39b54a]"You better be ready! Cause I'm not holding back this round!"[/color][/b]
