It's completely understandable if anyone got bored watching the broadcast of this battle. For anyone who's still paying attention, though, the video blanks out after Mei's forfeit, and the woman from the round change videos appears on-screen. And she's not happy.

"It looks like some of you are cheating," she comments. "You can play games with each other on your own time, okay? Exaclan is for battling! Just so you know, the warning penalty will let you know if you break any rules, and if it's bad enough you'll also be fined Tokens, whether you're a Player or a Weapon. So don't cheat, okay?"

She smiles, then. "That's all for now. See you next Round!"

Not wanting to fight

Suzaku Kururugi vs. Tsuki Aoi

Weapons: Lelouch vi Britannia and Sora Himoto
Location: Courtyard
Time of day: Morning

If anything Suzaku was feeling even more worried about this battle than he had about his last. After all that one had gone so wrong, even though he had won, Kotarou was still not conscious. He had been worried about hurting Oichi, since he had no real reason to be fighting her; they were on the same side. But he had never guessed that a person who was a Weapon could be hurt that badly.

He didn't want to fight again, but he had to; he could see no other way they had to fight to gain token to win back their memories and find out what on earth was going on and get out of this world. But he didn't want anyone to get hurt. He had promised to protect the people who were his Weapons and this... this was far from protecting them, using them in battles that could hurt them so badly they were unconscious for days.

He was to fight Tsuki and she was using Sora's weapon and he was using Lelouch's, one of his friends were going to get hurt, he couldn't protect them, just like he hadn't been able to help Kotarou.

But there was no other way, "You sure you will be alright?" He asked Lelouch for what was bound to be the hundredth time since they had agreed to this battle.
