With the defeat of eight out of sixteen characters, the first half of the 1-on-1 tournament is finally over within the span of a year and half a month.
>Bellona of Smite controlled by @loki~ @remilia Scarlet and @Sakuya Izayoi from the PC Touhou series, @Sathariel as Megumin from KonoSuba, @moeki as Misaki from NHK, @tn5421 as Yuzuhara from ToHeart2, @seel as a female samurai warrior, and most recently today @malmon as Misaka, the legendary Electromaster of the Index series are all defeated.
>Bellona was barely spared in the fight against the princess Lucia Mochizuki in Mitakihara City, with Mochizuki having only 5% HP and Bellona K.O. on the ground next to her. Too bad, she was not picked for the elections that year. Within the span of only a few days, Lucia Konohana, the then Empress of the former empire and now a constitutional monarchy months later has defeated both Remilia and Sakuya by a large HP margin. Had it been the work of extensive use of magic against her, she would not have attained both victories to continue, and upon Sakuya's defeat, declared Gensokyo a province of the planet. By around summertime, Houki arrived, quickly defeated Megumin at a castle in Germany, and fled the place before it burnt down by her magical misfire.
>Genji was the Empress at the time when she arrived in the Black Forest of the same country to meet up with Misaki and having bested her opponent in a hide-and-seek game; she got to Lieseltania, but she wind up too late and was forced to return home. Prior to the prefectural elections, she meets up with Yuzuhara, hired by Remilia who was defeated by Lucia Konohana a few months earlier to eliminate her in an attempt to foil any chances of continuing the tournament but was stopped by Genji after successfully and repeatably able to foil her opponent's attack rhythm. This however makes the citizens of the socialist, alternate United States not as pleased and she was forced to leave, and finally admitted her resignation of the throne over to her heiress, Lucia soon after.
>The last two opponents, Seel's avatar ended herself after putting up a very serious fight with the current Empress initially started in Japan but ended in China via switching stages mid-battle. And finally yet importantly with Misaka Mikoto, well-known Electromaster of Academy City and her clone army though spared, her revolution in an effort to save the very place she protects ultimately failed by a small team of anthropomorphized castle girls along with morale fatigue. The heavy losses sustained by the Sisters is all it took for them to rout into the countryside, and after the storm moved away, the Lucian armies ecstatic at such a pyrrhic victory, took over without incident and installed Lucia Mochizuki, the one who defeated Bellona from last March to rule the city. Since the defeat of Walpurgisnacht and the immediate eradication of the magical girl system, she is no longer considered a magical girl, and has gotten a little bit older than she used to.
Above: She was 16 in 2218 when she fought Bellona, now she's 24 in 2226 upon taking the city's seat from Kuruko.
My journey is not quite over, I still have to face eight more opponents in the near future, I am satisfied to conclude the first half of my tournament.
