The paladin dominates

On the day the injured mecha warriors laid down their weapons and mechas with much unwillingness and in tears, Scarlet was doing something else. One of her resolutions had been to get out of the division one fights before winter ended but somehow, she never managed to get around to it. She had no idea just how busy the winter would keep her. 

Tonight was the final fight, after this night, the mecha fights would take a break for a month and resume in the second month of the year. The companies and the committee in charge of the fights claimed that this move was because they wanted the fighters to rest after three months of exhausting challenges but she knew that it had to be a strategic move on their part. Most of their clients that participated in betting came out of winter poorer than when they went in. 

By taking a break, it allowed some of them to work, earn some money and return to watch the fights again with heavier pockets.
