The lady can feel her heartbeat goes faster and faster as Chris slowly approaching, she could do nothing but helplessly watching him getting closer, she can't even close her eyes. However, when Chris gets to a distance where she can see his facial expressions clearly, she has a feeling that he doesn't plan to harm her, she can't help but wondering what is Chris planning to do.
Chris stopped in front of the lady, he carefully observed her and the gatling gun that is remained static in her hands. After a short observation, Chris showed an impressed facial expression.
"So, this is indeed a magic weapon, just that it only works with your magic, seriously, this is my first time seeing this kind of magic, I'm impressed. And the idea of using the particles in the air to form bullets is a really fresh and creative idea, I wonder which craft man created this brilliant creation, I would love to give them a visit." said Chris, sounds a bit excited and happy.
Then, Chris turned to the referee at the side of the field before finally locked his eyes on the Emcee Cat.
"It's been one minute and three seconds." said Chris, in a rather cold tone.
"Ah? Oh! Miss. Lady from Team 'Yeehaw!' had been immobilized for more than one minute. I shall now announce our winner, Mr. Chris from Team 'Kneel Before Me'!" said the Emcee Cat after blanked out for a few seconds which immediately followed by a loud applause from the audiences.
As soon as the Emcee Cat announced the match's result, Chris released the bind from the lady, the lady fell on her knee as she lost her strength to stand due to the overwhelming fear. Chris looked back at the lady with a slightly apologetic look.
"I'm sorry about that, are you alright?" said Chris as he reached his hand to the lady.
The lady took his hand and stand up without saying anything, she is probably still in a frightened and confused state...

Meanwhile, waiting room. After witnessing that overwhelming match of Chris, Sheriff is rather amazed.
"That's a crazy move, I knew that he is strong since the first match, but still, this is quite unexpected." said Sheriff.
"Well, he is much more unpredictable than you can imagine." said Sky.
"Mhmm... That's our Chris-chan. As amazing as always." said Maria.
"I totally agree about that. But now I can't help but wonder, between Mr. Chris and you, who is stronger?" Sheriff asked as he stared at Sky.
"Ah... That's not an easy question to answer." said Sky a bit troubled.
"Well, Darling and Chris-chan are two totally individuals with totally different fighting styles, we can't really say who is stronger. After all, they had never actually won each other in any matches before, so, they might be evenly powerful." said Maria, who is also not very sure about it.
"I see, glad to know that." said Sheriff with a rare smile.
Just as they were done with this conversation, Chris came into the waiting area with the lady. Since the match on field A still ongoing as Chris only takes about 5 minutes to complete the match, they still have plenty of time to wait before the next match. After Chris once again apologizes to Sheriff and the lady, he walked towards Itsuki who had been alone and quietly sitting at a seat near the corner since the first match started. Since their team was unable to get three wins in a row, Chris decided he needs to discuss about some strategies for the next match with Itsuki.
"You had been sitting here all alone since the first match, still alright?" Chris asked.
Itsuki nodded.
"I know how hard it is to merge into such an insecure environment especially without your cousin, but you will have to get used to it someday... Anyway, about the next match, how do you feel about it? Having any confidence?" Chris asked.
Itsuki is silenced and not sure how he should answer Chris's question.
"I see. It's okay. But due to a small unexpectancy, our original plan is no longer valid. For the next match, you need to at least get a draw to ensure the victory of the team. I know it might not be easy for you especially witnessing all the strong contestants in the previous rounds, which is why we need to discuss about the strategy for the next match." said Chris.
Itsuki nodded again.
Then Chris looked around and locked his eyes on the members of team 'Yeehaw!' for a while.
"Let's go outside." said Chris...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Chris is a really cautious person, isn't he?" said Sheriff as he saw Chris and Itsuki walked out from the waiting area.
"Mhmm... He would allow any uncertainties to affect whatever he is doing." said Sky.
"Rest assured, we are not wicked as that other team, we would not even try to eavesdrop someone's strategy for the match, moreover, the person that will be competing in the next match is not weak, we have no reason to do so." said Sheriff, rather chilled.
"The other team? Do you mean that you notice that there is a team that... Uh-huh..." said Sky, in a careful and cautious manner.
"Well, we are not blind, it's very obvious, and we know how they sabotaged your team during the qualification tests." said Sheriff which caused Sky and Maria to be a bit surprised.
"Do tell me more." said Sky.
"Well, we happened to be in the same dorm with them during the qualification test, and one of their members reported your team regarding the matter of the Deity." said Sheriff.
"Which team is that?" Sky asked.
"I believe you know it better than me." said Sheriff.
"Ah... The Royal Guards huh?" said Sky, Sheriff nodded.
