Vasilisa: "Hey.. Ryujiro. Tell me. What exactly happened to Wu Ming? Tell me the truth."
Ryujiro: "Hmm. He was.. A traitor.
Left us."
Vasilisa: "What? A.. traitor?
You can't be serious. He was the most chill person on the team! How can he!?"
Ryujiro: "Keep your voice low.. Now's not the right time for everyone to know.
Yuki needs rest. Uncle Clyde was cool so never mind. Grazia needs treatment.
Next is your turn. Don't overthink too much."
Vasilisa: "Wu Ming.. He was so kind to me. It was all an act?.."
Victor: "Go! Sofia Lombardi! Don't let me down!"
Dusty: "Go, Vasilisa! Don't let me down!"
Zhang Liang: "So the next fight has begun, huh?.. Vasilisa VS Sofia Lombardi."
Vasilisa takes out her bow & arrow.
Sofia: "Oh, hey lady! You look cool.. Not more than me though."
She takes out arrows.
Vasilisa: "Huh? Arrows only? Fine then."
Vasilisa throws her bow aside.
Sofia: "Chivalry, huh? Cool!"
Vasilisa: "Let's finish this up quickly. I always wanted to come to Italy. I wanna eat pizza."
Sofia comes running towards Vasilisa and swings her arrow.
Vasilisa dodges and slides through her legs.
"Behind you, cool woman!"
She slaps Sofia's head from behind which delivers a shock in her brain.
"Woah! You're merciless."
Sofia spins and slaps Vasilisa with her swinging hands.
Vasilisa loses control.
"I don't wanna carry all these bags! But I'll carry yours, Ms. Vasilisa!"
-"Thanks, Wu Ming. You're so kind."
"Vasilisa!! What are you doing!? You're gonna lose!"
Sofia spins and delivers a 360 kick on Vasilisa's neck.
She falls down. Unconscious.
"Ey.. ou ere?.. Hey! Hey, Vasilisa! Wake up!"
When she wakes up.. she finds herself in Dusty's arms.
"What were you thinking? Are you okay? Please tell me!"
Vasilisa: "Dusty.. I.. Nothing. I was just.. weak."
Ryujiro: "You weren't.. It's my fault. To tell you that thing before your battle.. Please forgive me."
Vasilisa: "Oh, you dumbass."
Ryujiro: "Say that when I kill you someday. Just relax right now."
Vasilisa giggles: "Fine fine.. I'm sorry, everyone."
Yuki: "It's not like we don't know what you can do.. You're already strong in our point of view, Vasilisa-san. No need to prove it. Don't apologise."
Vasilisa: "Hmm maybe.. And Ryujiro. I think I accept that now. There's nothing we can do."
She smiles in helplessness.
"And yeah.. I didn't trust myself on that sword you got for me. I can't fight with a sword yet. But I've learned my lesson. I'll master it."
She gets up and walks up to Sofia Lombardi.
They stare at each other.
"You did great.. Sofia Lombardi."
Vasilisa offers a handshake.
Sofia accepts it.
"Thanks.."
Vasilisa: "You're not a bad person. Friends?"
-"Sure!"
Sofia smiles.
Vasilisa: "I'll come to meet you again when I'm done travelling the world on my journey. And we'll eat a lot of pizza together."
Sofia: "Promise?"
-"Yeah."
Vasilisa VS Sofia Lombardi.
Winner: Sofia Lombardi.
