You talk like you hate me,\" she said, licking her lips. \"But you keep touching me so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat didn’t reply; instead, she stepped forward again, her foot tapping the ground lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Selindra felt the whole arena tilt for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like her sense of balance was being dragged sideways. The space bent around Carliat’s body, bending the lines of the arena like they were made of thin wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra stumbled before forcing her legs steady again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That damn bending thing again—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not fast— gone, then present again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fist appeared right in front of Selindra’s stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra crossed her arms just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAAAAAAM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch made a giant wave of pink mist explode backward. Selindra’s whole body slid across the floor, leaving a long trail as the stone peeled under her heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair flew around her face, and she bit her lip hard enough to almost draw blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped herself by slamming her palm into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUMP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink mist around her tightened into a thin circle, almost like a halo lying flat on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHOOO—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shot straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist wrapped around her legs, her waist, her arms, thickening until it looked like a pink armor made of liquid light. Her eyes glowed a deeper shade of pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay... okay... if you want serious, I’ll give you serious dear~...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised both hands slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pink mist swirled in her palms, spinning faster and faster until two long shapes formed—like blades made of bright gas and soft flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat watched with blank eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her chin slightly, as if saying \"come\" with no words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra didn’t make her wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWOOP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed forward, swinging both blades at Carliat’s neck and chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each movement was smooth and heavy, like she was drawing long lines through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blades cut through the arena floor with ease, leaving glowing lines that spread heat across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat stepped back slowly, her feet gliding on the stone as if she were walking on water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra kept attacking faster, moving her whole body in wide arcs, twisting her torso, shifting her weight as she pushed forward without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwip, fwip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink blades hit Carliat’s bending space and twisted as if the edges were being pushed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat dodged at the last moment each time, leaning her head or shifting her shoulder by only a few centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You— are— so— ANNOYING!!\" Selindra shouted as she swung both blades down with all her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carliat lifted one foot and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the whole world bent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selindra’s blades missed completely as the space around Carliat’s body twisted in a soft ripple.
