It was another day in Paris. Right now, (Y/n) was in the school library playing Ultimate Mechanics Strike III against Max. She was using a bat robot as she tries to use different moves to win the final round. They both have a little life left, and Max defeated her using the ultimate move. Everyone cheered for Max's victory.

"Dang it! I was this close to beating you, Max." (Y/n) playfully glared at him. Max held out his hand. "You were truly a great opponent, (Y/n)." She smiled and shook his hand. "Likewise." 

(Y/n) got up and gave Adrien the joypad. She sat next to Nathaniel as he wrapped his arm around her. "You did great out there." He said. "Thanks, I tried my best." She kissed him on the cheek. Everyone watched the next round between Max and Adrien. Suddenly, Marinette finally arrives and was looking around to see what was happening. She quietly goes over to Alya and (Y/n). "What's going on, Alya, (Y/n)?" Marinette asked, but Alya shushes her. Rose pops out next to Marinette. "Try-outs for the Paris Ultimate Mecha Strike III Tournament! This school sends the two students with the highest scores!"

"Actually, the tryouts offer a partner to team up with Max in the Tournament." Kim corrects. 

"Why Max?" Marinette questioned. 

"'Cause he's unbeatable! He's a total rocksord! He's got the highest APM over anyone!" 

"APM?" 

"Actions per minute? This tournament is his whole life! He's been grinding all year to level up."

Everyone continued to watch Adrien's robot and was able to use a special attack on Max's robot. Adrien was able to win against Max with his attacks. "Adrien is now in the lead." Ms. Bustier announced. Everyone cheers for Adrien. Max was a little disappointed at first, but he shared a smile with Adrien. "Awesome job. We're gonna make a killer combo." Max gives Adrien a high five. "So let me get this straight. If someone manages to beat Max's score, they'll team up with Adrien at the tournament?" Marinette asked. "No one can beat Max. Or rather Max and Adrien. It's a slam dunk. They're our school's dream team!" Kim answered proudly. Hearing her, (Y/n) got up from her seat as she and Alya drag Marinette to a bookshelf. "We see where you're going with this, Little lady." Alya pointed. "Just imagine, teaming with Adrien!" Marinette gushed. "Mari, this isn't some project assignment. It's about representing the school. Which means no snuggling or lovey-dovey ideas. This is serious!" (Y/n) explains as she crossed her arm. "Seriously guys, you think I'd actually go through with that?" Marinette questioned, but her best friends weren't falling for it. 

"Well, I think we have our two champions lined up for the Paris tournament." Mr. Damocles announced. "Wait! Uh, Is it too late... to try out?" Marinette raised her hand. Most of the students gasped at her request. "Well, the library is closing up in five minutes, but..." Mr. Damocles agreed to the request. Marinette was determined while her best friends tried to stop her. She took a seat and Adrien gave her his joypad. "Adrien's joypad! Ohhh...!" She rubs it on her face but quickly stops. 

"Is she serious? There's no way!" Kim exclaims. "Unless the particular player has a particular motivation," Alya told. "The rules are elementary, You battle each other's robots with your own and..." Max was interrupted by Marinette. "Please... Every time you win, you loot its items and gain XP, which upgrades your mech. I'm not a noob, thank you very much." She then remembers some flashbacks of beating her father in the video game. "She not wrong, she can be a real monster." (Y/n) smiled as she sat next to Nathaniel. Marinette chose a ladybug robot while Max chose the same robot he used in his previous fight. Everyone was cheering as they watched the fight. They could see Marinette was beating Max. "And now, a quarter super plus heavy kick, and Flying Hyper Storm! Triple head combo, Marinette style! Booyah!" Marinette used the final combo and she won the game. "Woo! Yeah! Woo hoo! I win! Uh-huh!" Marinette cheered for herself.
