"And his opponent," said the announcer, pulling down another name as the blue-scaled archer teleported down as well.

"A level 320 archer, and the former leader of the Ocelots, Lukas!" he announced, much to the shock of everyone as he took off his helmet, revealing his blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Lukas?!" Gill shouted. "He's competing?"

"This is bad." Said Petra, crossing her arms. "If Lukas wins-"

"Then the plan goes up in smoke." Finished Olivia. "Not to mention the other girl."

It was then they all peeled their eyes away from the fight to see the concealed girl, wearing her grey hooded cloak, standing alone and not even bothering to look at the fight. But they noticed that she's has white bandages wrapped around her arms and her face; up to her nose.

They then looked at her green eyes. That alone set off warning bells inside their heads, even though Gill told them about Jess being in the stands. But just to be sure, Gill pulled out the monocle.

[Jeimass] Level 100

Class: Puppet Master

Other than basic information, and the weird name, there's nothing revealing about her other than the unknown Class. What's a Puppet Master? Even though they now know she's not Jess, it never hurts to feel the relief of being sure.

"Do you need something?" she asked, staring straight at Gill before he put away the monocle.

"Sorry, it's just that we're a bit nervous." Axel said meekly, trying to make an excuse, as the rest of them nodded.

Jeimass just shrugged. "It's fine, you're not the first to stare at me."

"Well, sorry for being rude." Jesse apologized. "It wasn't nice."

"I said it is fine." She replied casually. "I guess I shouldn't have been so anti-social."

"So you're entering the Tournament?" asked Gill, as Petra tuned her out, examining Jeimass. She doesn't look tough, and she's a solo competitor, so she'll be easy to defeat when they have to fight.

She then snapped her attention back to the conversation, already missing most of it.

"...out of curiosity," said Olivia. "What kind of a Class is Puppet Master?"

"Well, I can't tell you everything." She replied, walking up towards them, and staring out to see the fight below. "When fighting, you need every advantage you can get." She then glanced at all of them. "Especially since you're all over twice my level."

It was then Isaac's recent comment made everyone look at the fight, and made Gill furious. "Aw, are you mad that your illusionist is gone?" Isaac taunted as he dodged Lukas's iron sword, who still didn't touch his bow and quiver.

The battlefield has changed into a forest. With pine trees and grass, with flowers and boulders here and there.

Isaac used his own weapons, dual wielding enchanted diamond sword that have been enchanted with {Sharpness II}. He raised both of them and charged at Lukas, who simply stabbed the sword into the ground, and spread his arms wide.

Curious, Gill used the monocle.

[Hydra-Naga Armor]

Created by Lukas, taught to him by Jess. This armor combines the healing abilities of hydra scales and the natural {Thorns V} enchantment of naga scales; even though it isn't enchanted at all. Mixing intense heat of hydra blood has granted Lukas the skill: [Fire Aura].
