As Sky pulled out his sword, Tammy took out a pair of knuckle brasses and put them on.
"Ah... A fist brawler eh? That's quite uncommon, to be honest, I don't really expect to see one here. Alright! Show me what you have got!" Sky exclaimed as he took the initial move and charged towards Tammy with his sword.
In less than a second, the two of them clashes with each other, Tammy miraculously blocked Sky's sword with his knuckle brass.
"Hey! That's a really strong knuckle brass, I wonder where did you get those? I would like to get a pair for myself too." said Sky, who sounds a bit too deliberately friendly.
"Well, it was gifted by His Highness, so I don't think you would be able to get them from the market." said Tammy as he threw a hard punch towards Sky's face.
Sky dodged it perfectly.
"Ah~ That's too bad! For your information, I like to collect knuckle brass and a good fist brawling." said Sky as he once again clashed his sword with Timmy's knuckle brass, obviously trying to crush it.

Standby area.
"Is it just my imagination or does this fight look a bit weird? Although it is definitely less aggressive compared to Chris-chan's match just now." said Blair.
"Yes, it gives a vibe that Sky is bullying that brat but I wonder why? It looks extremely awkward after that mess just now." said K.
"Mhmm.. Now the investigation for the faulty in the previous match is still in the process, I wonder what those Royal Guards are up to, will Mr. Vlansky able to counter it?" said Blair.
"Right. Hey, Mr. Blair. Do you still remember we were supposed to be opponents today?" said K, in a flat tone.
"Ah... Colonel, not that again?"
And miraculously, none of them are really concerned about Chris...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the field.
Both parties are still clashing aggressively in a super high speed, the audiences can't really see their fight clearly, all they can see are two glowing points that rapidly crashed into each other.
As Sky playe... I mean fight with Tammy, he recalled back another part of the conversation he had with Chris the night before...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But wouldn't it be alright if we won all the first three matches and proceed to withdraw from the match?" Sky asked.
"Normally yes, but from what we had seen from the Royal Guards, I don't think they will let us win so easily, even if we do win the first three matches, they will still have their own dirty way to make us lost our qualification for the match. I believe you still remember how they used Bob as an excuse to forcibly remove our team before the first elimination, right?" said Chris.
"Right, they would probably get some excuses to cancel the results of the match. Tsk... This is really troublesome." said Sky.
"Actually, I had thought of a plan that will most likely work, but can be quite risky." said Chris.
"What is it?" Sky asked.
"I realize that we might be able to control the organizer through a little 'pressure'." said Chris.
"Pressure? Care to explain more? And I hope it's not anything absurd or life-threatening." said Sky.
"Well... It's certainly not absurd but might be a bit life-threatening." said Chris.
"Uh-huh..."
"Now that everyone is mad at the organizer on how they framed us in the qualification test, let's just imagine what would happen if the audience's favorite contestant is treated unfairly while we all know using curse magic is considered a taboo in such a tournament." said Chris.
"In the other words, you are saying that you planned to trigger the audiences by making the Royal Guards to use curse magic on you." said Sky.
"If possible, we will need to emphasize that unfairness and make the whole situation looks really messed up so there's a chance that it will enrage the audiences from all over the country, and thus the organizer will not be able to do as they like under the eyes of the audiences." said Chris.
"Basically, you are risking yourself to get the audience's supports in order to press down the organizer." said Sky.
"Uhm... Yes." said Chris.
"I rejected that." said Sky.
"Your reject is rejected." said Chris.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present. On the field. Sky who had been clashing against Tammy with his sword turned his sword and started launching some hard and aggressive short distanced assault with the sword hilt. The sudden strategy change successfully confused his opponent and giving Sky an opening to landed a hard blunt hit on his left belly.
"Argh..." Tammy flinched and groaned in pain as the result of Sky's hit.
And for a few seconds, Sky can clearly hear some different disagreeing voices from a few audiences. Sky sighed before stared at Tammy without saying anything.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standby area.
"Ah... I see, it is another trap after all. Seriously, what a coward strategy they have, I really wonder how the hell they were able to rule their kingdom for all these years?" said Blair, rather despised by what happened in the stadium at the moment.
"Well, that's why the previous king failed to get supports from his own people, and we easily took over it, temporarily though." said K.
"Hmm... Why does that sound like it might turn permanent?" said Blair, a bit sarcastic.
"What you said is not wrong, if we can't get any suitable party to take over the place, we might as well rule it by ourselves, well, that's what Mr. Thomas said before he sent me here." said K.
"Haha... Sounds like something you would not want your opponent to know." said Blair with a weird stare.
"Ah..."
And once again, none of them seems to be concerned about Chris's condition...
