Shuvi charges ahead to unleash a fire punch while the dark elf unleashes a straight attack with its rapier. When they made contact the boss's blade was soon destroyed by her attack before she turned around to kick the boss to the side. She then bent down like a cat before flaming wings appeared on her ankles so she could charge with high speed. However, through the dust, Shuvi was hit by a vine whip before being wrapped around her neck.

Dark elf (walking out of the dust): I'm surprised your attack broke the blade of my rapier but can you break this?

Shuvi's body was suddenly covered in fire before she disappeared making the boss confused while being on guard. A huge fireball appeared from the shadow charging at the dark elf but it was able to cut Shuvi's attack in half making it explode from a distance.

Dark elf: Come out, come out. Wherever you are. (after waiting for a bit) If you don't come out I'll end your friend.

(from a distance)

Inosuke (in his mind): The effect is about to wear off.

More vines appear around Inosuke about to attack him but a fire orb appears destroying the vines that were blocking him at the same time blocking the vines from the outside.

(inside orb)

Shuvi (using the antidote potion on Inosuke): Sorry for leaving you like that.

Inosuke (notice while standing): You okay?

Shuvi: I'm fine.

Suddenly a huge vine pike was throne breaking through the orb shield but Shuvi used the skill overload to turn the fire orb into a shield by using one hand. After the fire shield and the vine spike disappear firearms appear near her arms.

(other side)

Dark elf (in its mind): If I heard her right. Overload is a very rare skill that's obtained in the fighter final random class. This skill has a time limit allowing you to use any skill or magic without them having a cooldown.

One of the arms had its fist covered in fire before uniting with Shuvi's arm to unleash a straight punch that became a fire beam. The dark elf blocked it with a vine wall that was soon destroyed releasing a force of wind pushing the boss back.

Dark elf (in its mind after hitting the wall): That attack took a bit more than half my health.

When Shuvi did the same thing with the other fist the boss dodged to the side making the attack miss. However, a sudden long fire vertical slash was released hitting the dark elf directly making the hp bar reach the last bar. After the flames disappear the boss suddenly has its aura glow having vines spread out of control making some about to hit Shuvi and Inosuke but Inosuke made a shadow barrier appear.

(inside barrier)

Inosuke: These vines are stronger. This barrier is going to break.

Shuvi (sound different): Time to go after the prey.

Shuvi charged out dodging all the vines while taking some damage but while Inosuke watched it reminded him how they worked together for the first time on their main account however this time Shuvi was dodging like an animal. After getting close Shuvi unleashes a quick attack of multiple punches before punching the dark elf to the ground making a dent appear.

(outside barrier)

Dark elf (in its mind after hitting the ground): She's like a wild beast with no control.

A vine wrapped around Shuvi's neck but while it was squeezing her hp went from orange to red making Inosuke worry. However, when she grabs the vine Shuvi's aura burns the vine around her by using the magic spell aura flames.

Shuvi (looking at the dark elf while her fist is covered in fire): Your soul is mine.

Shuvi unleashed a powerful punch finishing the dark elf's hp bar making the flames destroy the remaining vines. Once Inosuke's barrier disappears he just sees Shuvi standing there while her flame mode deactivates.

(classroom)

Souji (leaning on his chair while looking at Iris): That was tough. For a second I thought you were going to die. (sitting up after noticing) Iris?

Iris (reaching for the mouse): I have to keep playing to get more money.

Souji (pulling Iris's wrist away after grabbing it when he stands): You've done enough. The fight is over.

Iris (take her headphones off): It's not over. I must keep playing.

Souji: For who?

Iris: For my father. It's the only way to help mum.

Souji (catches Iris after she passes out when she leans to the side): Iris?

Teacher (standing from the front of the class): What happened?

Boy student one (teacher walks over while Souji sitting on the floor having Iris leaning on him): Iris suddenly passes out.
