After the intense match with Bennet and Gepard, both were sent to the nearby medical facility within the arena where they were to be quickly healed up by one of Furina's memosprites and the nurse Sigewinne Kitayuu had to wait patiently for two rounds where Ganyu easily won against Fischl and Rappa also getting a victory over Nilou, a girl from the other class. After having to endure Raiden messing up his hair with a light wind current every few minutes, Kitayuu was happy to see Bennet return all patched up and almost back to full strength, "Didn't know that the nurse and Furina could work so much wonders in such a short period of time, it's like I came out of that unscathed." He said as we walked down and took his seat next to Kitayuu.
Kitayuu; "I kinda doubted you for a second"
"Oh wow, I have such a lovely friend"
Bennet thought for a moment, "Hmm, although Gepard copying my move does show how unoriginal he is. I must say that I feel kind of honoured to have someone in the top 5 acknowledge it."
The current battle was between Xiao and Sparkle and Bennet couldn't have been any happier, "I hope she gets her butt kicked, damn her for throwing us under the wagon during the previous event."
Kitayuu smirked, "There's no place for her to run now, I wonder how she will fare when she is unable to play like a coward."
Sparkle yawned and raised her arms. However, Xiao didn't engage thinking it was a way to lure him in.
"I give up"
The entire arena suddenly erupted with gasps and boos. Xiao's eyes widened with surprise and he began to settle down. Sparkle embraced the audience reaction by closing her eyes and bowing down. Neuvillette came down to her side confirming if she really did mean what she said. Sparkle nodded with a smirk and Xiao was then announced as the winner. As the two walked off Sparkle stopped in her tracks and turned her head around, "Hey, you"
Xiao turned around unamused, "What now"
A very wide and malicious smile formed on Sparkle's face, "Trust no one"

A sudden explosion blasted across the arena and Xiao was just barely able to dash through the hallway in time to avoid it, as he rolled on the floor Sparkle still stood on the arena grounds that was now completely destroyed. Only a trail that led to her hallway remained and she took another bow before heading back in. The arena ground immediately started reforming back to a flatter surface as Zhongli waved a finger.
"Bastard! The battle was already over" Bennet stood up outraged.
He then felt a hand on his shoulder, "Wha-"
As he turned to look beside him angrily he saw Hu Tao smiling at him cheerfully.
Bennet's face turned red and Kitayuu let out a deep sigh before closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Oh I- Uh- Hu Tao!? I didn't see y-you there!"
Hu Tao giggled and waited a bit for Bennet to calm down before speaking, "As scummy as that move was, your mischievous classmate is a lot smarter than she looks"
