Annabelle managed to block your aerial attack with the weight but, surprisingly, did not retaliate. You heard her weapon clang to the ground and you then see her lunge at you, grabbing your crystal shield and used her superior strength to wrest it from you followed with a punch to your face.

She then swung your shield at you and you were sent crashing into some gym equipment. Before she could do anymore, Vitalion came with a sword thrust which Annabelle narrowly evaded. The Head Captain and the drug lady then duked out briefly with their weapons before Vitalion manged to disarm Annabelle from her stolen crstal shield and knock her to the ground.

Vitalion was about to deliver the final blow but Annabelle rose, sending a fist to the Head Captain's crotch. "[color=lightyellow]Urgh![/color]" Annabelle then rose up fully and delivered a sharp spinning kick to knock out the Head Captain.

Annabelle then picked up Vitalion's sword and prepared to finish the Head Captain off.

Keith, pinned to the ground by [u]Hisana[/u], made no attempt to resist. "[color=9e0b0f]Don't worry, hon. I'm not taking it personally. He might be though.[/color]" The mercenary motioned to a bird flying high in the sky.

[u]Enishi's[/u] bird made its move and ensnared [u]Hisana[/u] in its trap, weighing [u]Hisana[/u] down that she could barely do anything. Keith used this opportunity to get off and stand back up.

[quote=Enishi][color=00aeef]”Go ahead Hisana, make your move. I’ll run you through with my blade and freeze every artery in your damned body!”[/color][/quote]

"[color=9e0b0f]My hero~![/color]" Keith swooned over [u]Enishi[/u]. "[color=9e0b0f]And that's what you get for messing with the law, reddie! If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.[/color]" He then taunted the ensnared [u]Hisana[/u].

The sudden Dark Javelin surprised Varjan but he was quick enough to avoid it. Although by doing so, you were freed from his boot.

You rose to your feet. Barely, but you still had enough strength to keep even footing. Meanwhile, Varjan stood before you with nary a scratch on him. However, you saw his eyes darting to and fro, struggling to focus and keep themselves opened. His breathing became heavy and his form was getting weary. Varjan gritted his teeth as his senses began to buckle against the 'enhancers'.

"You talk big, Seleth." Varjan began, glaring at you with narrowed, tired eyes. "But I've yet to see you truly attack me. Show me what you've got."

Varjan went on the defensive by taunting you. It was clear to you that he was trying and recover strength and focus since the drugs' side effects were beginning to show themselves. Still, knowing Varjan he likely had a counterattack ready.

[quote=Lisianthus von Zauberheim][color=fff200]”Regardless, I am grateful for your concern, Lutz. Please, put your mind at ease. Now then, I believe the final match of the tournament is today. Why don’t we ask mother and father if it’s alright to watch Seleth and Varjan duke it out, eh?”[/color][/quote]

You and Lutz were allowed to watch the Grand Finals of the tournament. Quite dismissively, though, as your father merely waved you off with a 'Do whatever you want'. However, you also noticed your father and mother eye Lutz who appeared to cower from their gazes. That could not mean anything good.

With that, you and your brother made way for the arena where the last battle of the Grand Academy Tournament would take place. On the way though, Lutz began. "[color=lime]Hey sis, ummm... Let's say, hypothetically, you were umm... you were no longer to inherit the crown.[/color]" Your brother started with a very strange premise. "[color=lime]How would you, umm... take that?[/color]"

"[color=lime]Again, this is just being hypothetical. It-it doesn't mean anything... much.[/color]"
