The Best Schools in Action

"Winner!" The referee pointed to Devon, who hadn't received a single hit. At that moment, she ran to Dash, who was euphoric about her performance. After congratulating each other, they both received a purple ribbon, signifying their status as competitors in the next elimination round.

When they returned to Mr. Han, he had new fight sheets. Nine of the ten pairs had advanced to the next elimination round.

"One pair was eliminated; they faced the Koreans," said Cheng, who was looking at his partner with a bleeding nose.

"Was it Jake Kim?" Dre looked at the group of Koreans who were now in the next elimination round.

"Indeed, it's them."

These were good rivals, but Dash wasn't worried. He also didn't blame the eliminated pair, as it was impossible to avoid the strongest, and he heard that even the elimination fight was one of the best.

Devon came back with a smart tablet, analyzing the strongest rivals they might face in the elimination stages.

"Jack will obviously advance with Kim. What would surprise me a bit is seeing Danny move on to the next stages with his current teammate." Devon was analyzing the schools while they waited for their next match.

Most of the fighters were strong, with both powerful local rivals and foreign ones demonstrating superior skills in the fights.

"Devon, if for some reason we are unable to continue fighting, there's no need to be persistent," Dash said. Though he wanted to win, he wouldn't continue the fight if Devon was injured.

Devon looked at Dash playfully and asked while staring at him intently, "Would you also give up if you're injured?"

"I don't count in this deal."
