A drowsy bujutsu teacher and a barrel-obsessed blademaster have already gone down, and only a cold as ice, incredibly accurate assassin stands between Tengaar and the finals! And, just like the last two, this match should take no effort: Revenge Earth, the bane of physical fighters everywhere, will ensure Marisa never gets a hit on the Warrior Village's true heroine! No criticals or Crimson Blade can save Marisa from the wrath of Earthquake - Tengaar will surely conquer Middle!

With her previous foes easily swept aside, it's time to clean up one last speck of dirt before Marisa can come to the apex of her career and conquer Middle properly. All that stands in her way is a frail mage, a sort of duelist Marisa crushed last week quite handily. So this fight should be no different from last week's: a single critical blow from her shamshir ends the battle in an instant, and there's not a damn thing Tengaar can do to withstand the terrifying power of the Crimson Flash.

"It's called Revenge Earth. Perfect evade and counter, more flawless than even your superb bladework. With that spell, the girl can humiliate you despite your overwhelming physical superiority."
Marisa shrugged. "Then I'll lose."
"Yes, you will," Orlandu conceded. "But there's no need to suffer the humiliation of actually losing."
"What humiliation? Does losing humiliate you? Is that why you're telling me this?"
Orlandu started to stammer a protest, but quickly surrendered and gave a sheepish nod. "I'd just hate to lose the same battle over again. A knight learns from his mistakes. That's why I'm proposing that we swap places for our matches. We're both going to lose anyway; we might as well have fun with it."
"What's fun about losing to Sephiroth instead of Tengaar? I don't think he'll politely offer to match swords with me just to give me a chance to actually win."
Orlandu chuckled. "Leave that to me."
Tengaar: 58
Marisa: 30
