Left without a means of quickly hiding, the fourteenth seed gave a battle cry and prepared a massive fireball. "Try this!"
But the swordsman cut through it without question, as expected from a swordsman that had carved through the stage of flames. He also leaped forward with his sword ready to cut down the fourteenth seed.
"I-I surrender…"

"It's over! Yet another upset, ladies and gentlemen! This is spectacular!"
While the fourteenth seed sighed in defeat and cut off his essence from the dying flames of the stage, he was caught off guard by the announcer's next statement.
