One… Two…

Jon's opponent stood up.

He was shocked, "How did she survive that attack?"

"I will not be defeated by a man!" she yelled as she launched another terrifying attack. "Bot Attack!"

Several metal robots the size of dolls appeared and ran toward Jon. Their hands were substituted with metal blades.

"Stellar Forest!"

Wooden stakes rapidly shot up from the ground. However, several of the bots dodged them.

Jon had to fight them off using energy attacks.

"Nuts and Bolts!"

The metal robots gathered together and transformed into a giant robot.

Shing, shing, shing…

Jon repeatedly jumped and flipped his body to dodge the robot's attacks.

Ding, ding, ding…

Just as the giant robot was about to strike Jon, the bell indicating the end of the match rang.

"All participants, please stand in a row in front of the podium," the emcee spoke loudly into the microphone. "Participants who continue launching attacks will be disqualified."

Jon's opponent swore, "I was so close to defeating him."

    While Melissa was pondering about her next steps, an elderly cleaner with a backstage pass walked by. "Why did I not pay attention during my imitation classes?" Melissa grumbled to herself. She then sighed, "I wish I put in the effort to learn shapeshifting…"Next, she slumped her shoulders and crossed her arms, "If only knocking out a person and wearing their clothes for disguise is as easy as what the movies make it out to be." After some thought, she became even more jaded, "Or if secretly stalking someone into a room was so simple…"Just then, she came up with a better idea. "I could simply call Jon and ask him to let me in!" she slapped her forehead. Rrr…Jon answered the phone before the first ring ended."Mel, are you outside of the backstage?" He had been anxiously waiting for Melissa."Yes, I do not have a backstage pass so I cannot enter it." Jon nodded with understanding."I cannot fetch you since I need to guard my room…" he started. "I can request the security guard

    Boom!An explosion occurred. "What happened?" the audience was in suspense. After some time, the smoke slowly cleared. A green ball of energy floated in the air.

"You are a tough fighter," the troupe member said to Jon while nimbly dodging the balls. Jon was encouraged by the acknowledgment, "It is my honor to be your opponent."The next moment, the troupe member greatly reduced the distance between him and Jon. They now engaged in close combat.

    "We should go back," Raphael finally said. "We have more important things to do."The gang left in a huff. Melissa did not let her guard down and kept the electric shield up, "They must be up to no good…"She did not believe that they would let the matter rest easily."I should keep an eye of them…" she frowned. "I cannot alert the guards since I am not an official participant and should not be here…"She thought harder, "Can I spy on them from here?"Suddenly, she remembered a spell she had learned during one of her lessons for her specialization."I can make eyes and ears appear in the room!"She tried hard to recall the spell. "I need to make sure the eyes and ears are in a hidden corner," she concentrated. Loudly and clearly, she chanted the spell.At Raphael's waiting room…A pair of ears and big blue eyes appeared on the face of a painting in the room. Melissa tried her best not to blink and listened carefully. "Romeo, take this pouch and mix it in the common water cooler,"
