Pyrrha spars with Team CRDL, one-sidedly beating them and she finishes by slamming Cardin to the ground

Glynda approaches from behind Cardin who clutches his ribs.

"And that's the match." Glynda said

"Lucky shot," Cardin said before he collapses.

"Well done, Miss Nikos. You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament." Glynda said

"Thank you, professor." Pyrrha said

"Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match." Glynda said then looks around at the observing students. "Any volunteers? Ms. Belladonna?" she asked Blake slammed her book shut and stares wide-eyed at Glynda. "You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you -" she said then Mercury raises his hand.

"I'll do it." Mercury said

"Mercury, is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent." Glynda said, "Mercury, is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent." she said

"Actually, I wanna fight... her." Mercury said pointing at Pyrrha.

"Me?" Pyrrha asked

"I'm afraid Miss Nikos has just finished the match. I recommend you choose another partner." Glynda said

"No, it's fine! I'd be happy to oblige." Pyrrha said

Mercury struts into the arena, visibly sizing up Pyrrha. Their spar begins when he makes the first attack and is knocked down. Recovering quickly, he deflects an attack and begins trading blows with Pyrrha until she knocks him back with her shield.

Ruby turns toward Emerald sitting behind her.

"Hey, your friend's doing pretty good." Ruby said

Emerald gives a fake smile and then rolls her eyes as Ruby turns her back.

Mercury unleashes a series of powerful strikes. Pyrrha allows his kick to slam against her forearm before Mercury manages to disarm her, a kick impaling her blade into the ground. Pyrrha uses her Semblance to redirect the direction of Mercury's next kick. As she charges him with her shield, he shoots off of it and turns his back to her. Pyrrha tries to rush him again.

"I forfeit." Mercury said

Pyrrha almost stumbles as she stops beside him.

"You... don't even want to try?" Pyrrha said

"What's the point? You're a world-renowned fighter. We're obviously leagues apart." Mercury said

"In that case... Pyrrha Nikos is the victor of the match... again." Glynda said

Emerald smirks. Mercury sneers smugly. Pyrrha has an annoyed and disappointed look on her face and places her left hand on her hip. The Aura displays for Pyrrha and Mercury are shown as Mercury's is changed from green to red indicating his loss.

"Next time, you may want to think a little harder before choosing an opponent." Glynda said

"I'll be sure to do that." Mercury said
