--
Aria Carmichael's performance had been exceptional.
She has won all three of her matches so far, and she had fought against a seeded participant, Aurelia Valentine, and her victory was decisive.
Aria fights like she could see what her enemy will do before they even do it. It's as if she knew everything about whom she's facing and knew exactly what to do, how to respond, and how to optimize the result to bring her the most advantage.
To most people, her fight against Aurelia was a gorgeous dance of skill and talent. Both ladies were graceful, beautiful, and extremely dangerous on their own accord. And it has been a pleasure to watch them.
But for those with keen eyes and attention to detail, this fight, from start to finish, was in truth a manipulation.
Aurelia was dancing to Aria's tune from start to finish. Their fight wasn't close, not even a little bit. Aria had the overwhelming advantage from start to finish, and she knows it.
