Melody’s hands moved with lightning speed, twisting Rosen’s wrist sharply using a technique that targeted joint dislocation, effortlessly breaking it and forcing him to release his grip in agony.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Rosen stumbled backward several times, caught off guard by Melody receiving assistance from Jake, which allowed her to prepare for a counterattack.
In their perspective, Melody resembled a sly and merciless snake.
They knew that if they let the chance to exploit her weakness slip away at such a crucial moment, they would have no choice but to wait.
Melody lived up to their expectations, launching a rapid series of attacks that left Rosen no opportunity to respond.
He realized that she was preparing to execute a powerful move.
Alarmed, he quickly pulled out a small knife from his side and swung it toward her eyes.
“Melody, watch out!
“Rosen’s got a concealed weapon.”
Jake glanced at Melody while clutching his injured stomach and, like Gary, coughed up blood.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Jake’s mind.
He realized he knew Melody quite well.
But as an orphan, what memories did he have?
Shielding her earlier felt like a reflex he couldn’t control.
It was as though something in his mind had been activated: Protect Melody!
But why am I compelled to defend Melody?
Who am I?
And what did she mean to me?
Jake’s head turned rigidly, his expression shifting back to a frigid neutrality, completely void of any feelings.
He wouldn’t allow himself to feel pain; spitting blood was something he could endure.
Melody was taken aback by Jake’s unexpected act of kindness.

She quickly evaded, noticing that Rosen had completely broken the rules by resorting to weapons.
All of this was supposed to be within the guidelines.
Fighting styles were freely employed as long as victory was achieved.
However, there were no rules that permitted the use of weapons.
Melody’s eyes narrowed as she finally grasped the situation.
From the start, the Gregoria organizers had intended to eliminate her on this grand stage.
Even if they were labeled as deceitful and wicked, it didn’t matter to them.
Regardless of the circumstances, their main objective was to diminish Cleussau’s reputation.
If Melody were to perish, it would restore Gregoria’s standing.
While a reputation may be fleeting, the triumph of victory endures forever! Meanwhile…
The spectators quickly recognized the motives of the Gregorian organizers.
Many in the crowd felt like hurling rotten eggs at them. “How shameful! Absolutely shameful!”
Marcus looked furious; Gregoria had crossed the line. They were openly disregarding the rules.
Did they honestly believe that, as the hosts, they could entirely disregard the rules?
Melody’s eyes narrowed, and as she spotted the short blade rushing toward her from Rosen, a playful look crossed her face.
In an instant, the cool girl plunged downward quicker than he could react.
The second move, Dust Particles, involves lightly flicking with two fingers, using leverage to make the opponent’s weapon slip from their grasp.
The third move, Magnetic Needles, allows her to catch the tip of any blade with just two fingers.
Melody’s sharp almond–shaped eyes narrowed with intensity. With a quick and exact fliek of her fingers, she determined the ideal breaking point using her keen sense of mathematics, then broke it effortlessly.
