Rating Game Observation Room
Sirzechs, watching the confrontation, commented calmly, "Riser's Knight defeated both opponents convincingly. Erza is truly formidable."
Serafall, excitedly, added, "I always knew she was strong. Riser-chan is very fortunate to have her, isn't that right, Sona-chan?"
Sona, irritated by her sister's public address, responded dryly, "Yes, that's true."
Sirzechs, noticing the tension between the sisters, tried to lighten the mood, "Erza is an impressive addition to Riser's Peerage. Sona, don't you agree?"
Sona, trying to maintain composure, replied, "Yes, she has shown remarkable abilities. She will contribute to Riser's success in the Rating Game."
Rating Game Arena
Nana soared above the arena, closely observing two men in conversation. She could easily take the opportunity for a stealthy attack, but something made her decide to draw their attention.
With a captivating smile, she said, "The view up here is amazing, don't you think?"
The two men, surprised, turned to Nana and quickly assumed a fighting stance, ready for any challenge that might arise.
Ignoring their defensive posture, Nana flew down to the ground, maintaining her smile. "I am Nana Shimura, Riser-sama's Rook. And you?"
The taller man, with a determined look, introduced himself, "I am Leorio, Hisoka-sama's Rook."
The second man, named Trevor, also introduced himself firmly, "And I am Trevor, also Rook of Hisoka-sama."
Nana, without losing her casual demeanor, joked, "Hmm, Rooks of Hisoka-sama, huh? I hope you're ready for an interesting challenge."
Leorio, maintaining his serious expression, responded, "We'll see about that. We are ready for anything."
Trevor, displaying confidence, added, "Hisoka-sama trained us well. Don't underestimate his Rooks."
Still smiling, Nana said, "Don't worry, I like challenges. Let's make this interesting, then."
The three of them prepared for the imminent confrontation, the energy in the arena becoming more intense with the anticipation of the battle about to begin.
Leorio, with a mysterious smile, leaned towards Trevor and whispered, "Let's execute that plan."
Trevor, expressing concern, retorted, "Are you sure we want to spend our plan on her?"
Nana, confidently watching the conversation, remained silent, trusting in her own strength.
Leorio, maintaining the smile, replied to Trevor, "Yes, she seems very strong. We better use everything from the start."
Trevor, accepting the decision, stood in front of Leorio, and with surprising speed, ran towards Nana.
Nana, keeping Leorio in her sight, prepared to face Trevor. She assumed a defensive position, using her arms to block the rapid punches Trevor delivered.
Despite receiving several blows, Nana remained unshaken. Trevor's punches were ineffective against Nana's solid defense.
As Trevor continued his attacks, Leorio watched closely, waiting for the right moment to implement the plan. Nana, confident and calm, patiently waited for the opportunity to counterattack.
Leorio, smiling mysteriously, observed the duel between Trevor and Nana with interest. "Trevor, be patient. We'll execute the plan at the right moment."
Trevor, confident, continued his rapid attacks, while Nana maintained her unyielding defense. Leorio, seizing the opportunity, threw a punch towards the ground. A portal opened, and his arm disappeared through it.
Another portal opened under Nana's chin. Leorio's punch emerged through the portal, hitting Nana squarely. She took several steps back, holding her chin with her hand.
Leorio and Trevor, side by side, exchanged satisfied looks. Leorio, with a smile, commented, "Nothing like a well-executed plan."
Nana, lifting her face, looked at Leorio and Trevor with a serious expression. "You've irritated me."
Before Leorio and Trevor could react, Nana disappeared before them. Worry took over their faces as they tried to comprehend the surprising speed.
Nana, reappearing instantly, delivered a precise kick to Trevor's head. He was thrown towards a building and rendered unconscious.
Serafall, with her imposing voice, announced, "Hisoka's Rook eliminated."
Leorio, astonished by Nana's quickness, watched in surprise as she approached. Nana, with a determined look, said, "Now it's your turn to pay for the punch you gave me."
Leorio, realizing the seriousness of the situation, prepared for the next confrontation.
Nana, with determined steps, advanced slowly towards Leorio. Her eyes radiated confidence as she prepared to end the confrontation.
Leorio, observing Nana's actions, realized the accumulation of energy in her right arm. A look of concern crossed his face as he pondered how to react to the imminent explosion of power.
Nana, with a piercing gaze, announced, "It's time to end this." Her right hand glowed intensely, indicating the imminent release of her powerful energy.
Leorio, without hesitation, decided to act immediately. In a swift motion, he punched the air, creating a portal. His arm disappeared through it, and another portal emerged at the back of Nana's neck.
Before the punch could reach her, Nana dodged with surprising agility. "The same move won't work on me twice."
Nana, once again, disappeared and reappeared in front of Leorio. Her determined look conveyed confidence as she prepared for the final blow.
Leorio, realizing Nana's quick movement, tried to react. With a punch in the air, he created a portal, but this time, Nana anticipated his move.
Nana, with a confident smile, dodged Leorio's punch and then delivered a powerful punch to his face. All the accumulated energy was released, creating an explosion of power that hit Leorio squarely.
The impact of the punch sent Leorio flying several meters high before he fell unconscious to the ground.
Serafall announced with her imposing voice, "Hisoka's Rook eliminated."
Nana, satisfied with her victory, took a moment to catch her breath. She then decided to look for Shizuku and Yubelluna to ensure they were safe and ready for the next challenge.
