Marco stepped over to the two, congratulating Yuki on her victory. "Congratulations on the win, Miss Xerosi. It was a surprising end, to say the least. I didn't think you'd finish him off so quickly.”

  Yuki chuckled, still riding the high that came with her victory. "Honestly, I didn't think I'd finish him that quickly either. That whole match was so stupid that I couldn't help but try and find an opportunity.”

  "He truly outdid himself this time, huh? I bet he'd be embarrassed to know he got knocked out while wearing that ridiculous silk thong.”

  Yuki also chuckled upon getting another look at the sight of Kaitan knocked out with his body on full display in just the gold silk thong. "Yeah, he'd probably die of embarrassment once he sees the recorded footage of this match.”

  "Well, that's his punishment for being too cocky. I'll make sure it gets recorded and gets spread all over the internet. I bet the ladies will love that part of the match very much~”

  "Yeah, I bet they will. The guys too. They sure got a lot of eye candy from Kaitan showing off his pits, too. Especially when I showed off mine as well.”

  "True, it's a real display. You guys make quite a good duo, though, with your contrast in skin tones.”

  Yuki shrugged, a smirk still on her face. "Guess that's why the crowd was chanting CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA.”

  "Oh yeah, now that they're chanting that now, you know they'll start calling you two that name. Maybe even some fanart too…”

  Yuki playfully rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I can already see the fan art coming. Maybe even body pillow stuff too.”

  Marco chuckled even more. "Oh boy, I feel bad for ya...the internet will really have a field day with all this, huh?”

  Yuki made a face. "Ugh....I'll probably get made fun of for being so pale, too. It's not my fault though, it's just a trait of the Xerosi clan.”

  Marco chuckled and patted Yuki on the shoulder. "I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure most people will appreciate your skin tone. After all, pale skin and dark skin look great together, don't you think? Anyways, just don't worry yourself too much, Miss Xerosi. You were amazing out there, you got a win after all. I'll go get the next fighters ready. Oh, and we'll just let him stay unconscious like that for now. Let him get the shame and embarrassment he deserves~”

  Yuki smirked, still on a high from her victory. "Yeah, let him stay like that for a bit. He can stew in the shame of it once he wakes up.”

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  Yuki gave him a nod, still quite satisfied with the match's outcome. "Thanks. I'm actually quite shocked I won like that. It was more of an unexpected opportunity, to be honest. But I'll take it.”

  Yuki regrouped with the girls in Celeste's suite, having some drinks with them while they waited for Marco to announce the next match, which wasn't a long wait.

  "For our next semifinal match, we have the chilling, scythe-wielding Akumu Xerosi...And our favorite wrestler, Nika!”

  Nika smirked,

  "Wait a minute, hold up - favorite wrestler?”

  The crowd cheered as they saw her coming into the arena, yelling loudly, "NIKA! NIKA! NIKA!"

  “Man, they're really wilding for me, huh?”

  Marco chuckled, replying: "Yep, you're pretty popular.”

  A voice shouted out from crowd,

  "Yeah, you're everyone's favorite after that butt-attack show you just put on!”

  A second voice chimed in,

  "You're the queen of butt-attacks! You've made us all believers in the power of that backside!”

  Nika could feel her face redden but couldn't help but feel empowered and a bit proud after the show she put on earlier.

  "You're damn right I am.”

  Akumu, with her trademark cheeky grin, looked calm as she walked into the arena, the girl's height coming to just below Nika's chest.

  "Oh? Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me. Literally," she said as she conjured her scythe.

  Nika rolled her eyes,

  "We'll see about that. I'm not gonna let you chop me up so easily.”

  Akumu smirked, taking her position.

  "You're confident, aren't you? Let's see how much that confidence can help ya.”

  The match started with a clash of two different fighting styles. Nika with her powerful, fast, almost feral attacks and Akumu with precise, calculated, and accurate swings of her scythe.

  With each swing of Akumu's scythe, Nika dodged with grace, her lithe body weaving in and out, trying to find an opportunity to land a strong attack.

  "You've got moves for someone your age, Akumu.”

  Akumu couldn't help but smile, admiring her opponent's skills.

  "And you've got a nice ass for someone who only fights with it.”

  Nika rolled her eyes but kept her focus.

  "Yeah, yeah... You're gonna find out real quick just how powerful it is.”

  Akumu smirked, her attacks getting more aggressive.

  "Then bring it on, ass-smasher. Let's see how effective that rear really is.”

  Nika launched a combination of attacks, a flurry of punches, kicks, and even a few surprise butt-attacks occasionally. But Akumu was quick to respond, her agility and scythe skillfully parrying and countering the attacks.

  "Not bad, little miss ass-attack, but you gotta do better than that!" Akumu taunted, grinning as she continued her counterattacks.

  Nika grunted in frustration, her attacks growing more erratic.

  "You think you can handle the power of my ass?!”

  Just as Nika was about to deliver a powerful butt-attack, Akumu dodged and sliced through her tight pants with precision, but the blade couldn't pierce her skin due to Nika infusing it with her aura, causing her left buttock to be partially exposed.

  "Well, that's a pretty effective weakness to exploit.”

  Nika felt a bit embarrassed but didn't let it phase her.

  "You're not getting through my ass so easily, you scythe-wielding loli. It's tougher than you think.”

  Akumu chuckled, her gaze focusing on the exposed skin.

  "Oh, I think I've got the upper hand now~”

  Nika gritted her teeth, determined not to give in.

  "Don't get cocky, you!”

  Akumu's smirk deepened, her attacks becoming more precise.

  "Oh, I have a feeling this match is already mine, little miss ass-attack. I've found your weakness~"

  "Whatcha mean—"

  Nika was cut off by the sight of Akumu's small body becoming buff out of the blue, the young assassin girl smirking.
