Fifty-two

The referee lowered his hand, and the fight began. Lila and Elise dashed towards each other, their swords clashing in the air. The sound of metal on metal echoed in the arena, as the crowd watched with anticipation.

Lila was faster and stronger, and she quickly gained the upper hand. She pushed Elise back with a series of strikes, forcing her to defend herself. Elise tried to parry and dodge, but she was no match for Lila's skill and experience.

"Is that all you've got, little girl?" Lila taunted, as she swung her sword at Elise's head.

"You're pathetic. The first year you really have to be put in your place." Said Lila.

Elise blocked the attack, but she felt the impact in her arms. She gritted her teeth, and she glared at Lila. 

I don't think Lila could lose to Elise, because Elise is far too inexperienced but something is weird here.

" I'm not pathetic." Elise retorted, as she counterattacked with a thrust.
